If you have a blog, you know that there is nothing more daunting than sitting down, and wondering what in the world you’re going to say in your next blog entry. You kind of have the feeling that if you don’t have something good to say, that no one will want to read it.
So how do you find stuff to talk about? Here are a couple of ideas:
Be a part of the blogging community. Subscribe to or visit blogs that are similar to yours. You’ll be able to gather an idea about what’s interesting, what’s being talked about, etc. Then you simply offer your own take on that.
Review products or services. Have you read a good book lately that would fit with your blog? Do you use a particular software program that your readers might want to use? Are there other products you could write about? Simply write your review about some products or services out there. Not only what you like about it, but what you don’t like about it.
Create lists. People love to read lists. “The Top Ten…”, “The Five Best Ways to…”, etc. Lists are an easy way to get your ideas flowing, plus they make for very popular posts. Think of how you would rank some of the things you are interested in, and use that as a post.
Use future posting when you’re creative. One of the things I love about WordPress, is that I can write an article when I have a good idea, or when I feel creative, and then post it to be published at a later date. There’s nothing harder than feeling like you have to write. So when you do feel like writing, create a 2 or 3 posts and set them to be published at a later date.
Read magazines related to your blog. Magazines are great because they always have tons of ideas that people want to read about, that are current. Pick up a couple of your favorites, or subscribe to them. As you sit down to write your blog, pick one up and scan the headlines… you’re sure to find an idea jump out of there.
I could keep going, but I think you get the general idea. You don’t have to have any huge posts or groundshaking new concepts. People subscribe to your blog because they want to hear from you. But now it will hopefully be easier to know what to say.

Hey John
They are some great tips you give there. I've found that people worrying that they don't have anything worthwhile to write is the biggest 'blog stopper!' out there.
The reality is that if you pick a niche that is really important to you and you have a real passion for it.. it becomes easy once you start posting and getting into the flow of it.
The initial learning curve is well worth pushing through because the rewards from having your own blog are amazing.
You can really start to differentiate yourself from the crowd of online marketers when you develop a content rich blog and keep posting on it consistently. Just by being consistent you will already put yourself in the top 20% of online marketers.
Hope that helps the newbie bloggers and I look forward to reading more from you John!

Hello Rachel,
I agree with you. Coming up with a post is a pain, if you think of it as a chore you have to do. But just posting something you found interesting as you are going about the exciting business of exploring your niche is actually fun and easy.

To make blog writing easier, I think what you should do is to establish your blog's topics and purpose right from the very start. Checking your stats can also help determine the topics which your readers liked and you can use these information to come up with writing even more interesting entries.

I find book and product reviews as well as comparisions with common things and network marketing to be popular posts.

John, they are great content creation ideas, and I like the feedback from everyone else also!
Another way to find content is to subscribe to Google Alerts
http://www.google.com/alerts
Use your chosen topics that you've decided on, when you subscribe to the alerts.
Once you start receiving the alerts, look quickly down at the heading topics, and see if anything takes your interest. If it does, click on the heading to read the content.
If you like the content, you can review it yourself, and link back to the author's blog. Remember, they will often visit your blog afterwards, especially if you've written a "nice" review about something they wrote.
It's a good way to keep subscribers to your blog up to date with current news about your topics also.
