5 Ways to Generate Fresh and Creative Blog Ideas

Perhaps you’re like me and often struggle to come up with blog ideas. I have listed in this post 5 ways to generate fresh, creative, and valuable blog ideas.

#1 – Do something constructive and let the ideas come to you.

Make it a goal to get out and do something constructive every time you find yourself struggling for a new blog idea. Stop chasing and let the ideas come to you. Go on a walk, work on a hobby, hang out with friends and family, whatever you do, take your mind off the blog.

#2 – Ask yourself, “What do I struggle with?”

Chances are, millions of other people struggle with the same issues that you yourself struggle with. Find something within your niche market, learn how to solve the issue, and share your experience. Give your readers something truly valuable and creative so they will want to come back time and time again and start sharing everything you post with their friends.

#3 – If you’re thinking, you’re thinking too hard.

Sometimes going the complete opposite of being active and constructive is perfect for generating fresh new blog ideas. Slow down, relax, lie down, get comfortable, and let go of everything. True inspiration isn’t searched for, its thrust upon you.

#4 – Grab a pen and piece of paper.

An easy way to get some interesting ideas is to simply grab a pen and a piece of paper. I generally pull out my laptop or iPad when I’m transcribing my ideas. By changing your method, you allow the brain to access different types of information. If you normally write, try typing on a computer. Change is the key factor.

#5 – Have fun!

Positive and negative energy are constantly being transferred through everything. When we exert positive energy, positive energy flows back to us and vice versa. Whenever you are looking for ideas or writing, stay positive, happy, and most importantly, have a good time. Turn blogging into a passion instead of a job.

It’s always nice to hear what you have to say…

What is Guest Blogging?

Guest blogging is when you write an original blog post for another blog as a guest author.

What’s the Point?

Well, if you’re like me and are constantly looking for new ways to improve your own blog, posting something valuable for someone else on their blog is a killer way to do so.

How Can Posting on Another Blog Benefit Me?

Allow me to list a few key reasons why you should consider guest blogging:

1. By posting on another blog you are expanding your online presence. You are giving yourself another opportunity to be discovered.

I’ve read that it takes the average person viewing your brand 8 times before they will accept it as a valid source. Unless you’re spreading the word with methods like guest blogging, you will fade into the crowd fast and end up another blog in the blog boneyard.

2. Guest blogging allows you to generate backlinks to your blog which increase your visibility in the search engines and in-turn drive more traffic to your blog.

Most blogs will mention how many and what types of links you are allowed to include in your posts. Take advantage and build those backlinks!

3. By branching out and discovering new guest blogging opportunities, you will naturally begin to form new relationships. The more friends you make, the more successful you will become.

Some Important Tips While Guest Blogging

(A) It’s a good idea to guest post on blogs that are more successful than your own. This is especially true if it’s traffic you seek. If you want to get better at anything in life, you need to start playing with the big boys.

(B) Write your guest blog post as if it were being posted to your own blog. It’s important that your content is completely original and valuable to all who read it. After all, the more traffic you drive to the post, the more traffic you drive to your blog.

(C) Make sure to only guest post on blogs that are within your same niche. Your backlinks won’t do you much good if your blog’s niche is Italian Cousine and you post on a blog whos niche is all about toddlers.

Where to Find Blogs to Guest Post On

A simple google search for guest blogging sites will pull up quite a few options. Sometimes it requires digging a little deeper to find which blogs accept guest blogs. Take your time, its worth it.
