Three of my teams recently mentioned that they were fighting to think new blog post topics and asked me whether I had any advice for them.
I fully appreciate that it difficult to try hard and worrying task you think one to one blog post, if you have planned ahead not must be on a daily basis. I gave them a very simple tool, and now they have more blog post ideas than they know what to do.
Have you all you need a similar problem is a few spare hours and a pad A4 paper, and I promise you that you get more blog posts when you know what to do with. After this exercise more about what order to posts your problem in, rather than emphasis on every day of the search for a topic to blog about writing.
What we do is to create a "mind map" of your blog. The more time you better be spend on your blog, but can the basic plan in less than twenty minutes.
With a blank piece of paper and in the middle of this page, you write the central theme of your blog in no more than two or three words; Internet marketing, technology, health and fitness, so that money, cars and motor cycles, foreign holidays, and so on.
For this exercise I will use a central theme of "Internet marketing".
Draw a circle to your central theme words. Now you draw a number of equally spaced radially arrows from this central theme. At this stage, I would suggest you start with 6, 8 or 10, and you can add or subtract later.
Draw a small circle at the end of each arrow and in every district of write a sub-line, which directly to your central theme. This is your control sheet.
"Internet marketing" as the central theme, which I choose to;
BloggingSocial MediaBrandingMarketingMaking MoneyAffiliate MarketingReviewsSalesRepeat the exercise you have done only for Internet marketing in a new sheet of paper for each of these subtopics.
For example, on a sheet of paper, I would write "Blogging" in the middle of the leaf and on a second sheet I'd write paper "Social media", and so on for each of my subjects.
Again you are 6, 8 or 10, evenly arranged arrows flights of the central themes of "Blogging" and "social media" and draw a small circle at the end of each arrow.
Writing you in those circles subtopics, focusing directly on the central theme.

Now it starts to get really exciting. We take the issue of "social media" and "Facebook" use as a sub-topic.
Get a new piece of paper and write "Facebook" as the central theme and thinking so many different aspects of Facebook (FB), who could write about 300-1500 words. You can issues like;
The history of the FB and how many users they HasSetting up and a FB profile basic FB EtiquetteJoining edit a FB GroupCreating a FB study add and delete FriendsCreating and editing capture a FB fan PageShortening FB fan page URLFB AdvertisingAdding FB PictureMessaging in the FBCreating-FB PagesCustomizing FB pages and PicturesFB advertisingNow, for your sixty-four issues only you use it to possibly three to five separate things to write, a body to think, but for others such as FB may I able, imagine twenty or thirty. The above list was produced, as I typed, and only very little thought.
I would suggest a little bit of thought would probably an average of over ten topics for each of your love, given. This means that you have six HUNDRED AND FORTY potential contributions!
Put all your sheets of paper in a file and compile an index as the front sheet. As you write on a particular topic, it can cross from your index page, and give a post than you and think of another sub-theme you add your index.
I suggest that six hundred and forty, the potential contributions, written means on the perhaps four or five posts per week, that you now have two years worth of ideas to you and away ready and waiting on action. I think you'll agree that for a few hours work, or maybe even a few days work, is a result in anyone's language.
