4 places to find blogging inspiration
Even the best of us get hit with writer’s block. Use these sources to find inspiration when you need it fast.
Many folks think they need to have all the answers to write a great, original blog post, but most of the time the opposite is true. You don’t need to have the right answer; you need to find the right question.
People often create the most relevant, interesting and timely blog posts in response to relevant, interesting and timely questions. If you can find a great question—and answer it—you are likely on your way to a dynamite blog post!
How do you find the right question? Here are four ideas:
1. Look to your peer groups. There are so many great places on the Web to find questions. My favorite place is a LinkedIn forum. Did you know there are 800,000 groups on LinkedIn? There is bound to be one that fits your interests. Look in the community forums for an interesting question and answer it. Voila! You have a blog post. Other possible sources are Quora, Focus and Yahoo chat groups.
