    Hey Guys,

    I've had my blog up for awhile chopper606.com There is very little i've actually written, most posts just include a youtube video and a few lines.

    Have you guys got any tips and inspiration for writing worthy content they people would be interested in reading, i am not really to keen to have a single niche market (say only technology) i want to keep the scope a little bit wider.

    so guys any tips to get the ball rolling?

    Thanks Everyone

    Whenever I need inspiration I just reach into my back pocket and open up my wallet :)

    Go to the Google searchengine and click on the "News" link at the top and type in a keyword for your niche and it'll give you ideas to write about. And you can also signup for Google alerts for your keyword and you'll get updates when new topics about your niche have been posted. Also look at some of the article directory topics, magazines, books, etc.

    Keep a notebook and jot things down in it as you go about your day. Things you read, things that strike you as peculiar. Also, reading a lot about your field can help spurn ideas.

    all of these are great ideas to use for great content in any niche. my advice is to have your niche be something that your passionate about, that way your not always looking for inspiration...you will need it from time to time, but if your really into the subject then you will find that your posts will be come naturally.

    Good luck!!

    I have my inspiration from the start of my blogging...
    I laid out everything, all topics that I'll be posting... until now I haven't finished all my topics...

    I guess that is the idea. prepare earlier...

    Another great way to begin your writing is by basically using other people's work. Go to Ezines articles and find something you would like to write about. Print out a few of the most interesting articles then start from there. The search engines frown upon duplicate content so you should definitely rewrite them. A good free software to check for duplicate content is called coach tyler's duplicate content checker. You place the article you borrowed in one side and the rewritten article in the other side, then click for the results. I hope this helped.

    just find a niche you are interested in, for example, if you play nba fantasy, then you can create a blog like 'nba fantasy 101'

    just read some blog that you interested in topics, then copy the writing style ( not the contents ) so at least you write your own posts though almost similiar with blog you copied

    Write about what you are interested in or passionate about. That makes the process much easier.

    Take at least one photograph with your cameraphone every day.

    it makes you look at the world in a different way

    Inspiration for blogging posts should soon follow

    Good Luck

    ;)
