Get Your Blog On
Well here it is my very first blog. My first thought, who came up with that name? My second thought, what in the world am I going to blog about? So I googled and googled in search of some ground breaking news to insure that my first blog would be inspiring. After a general consensus of internet searching, it occurred to me that I was not alone in my search for inspiration.
If you're anything like me I take pride in what I do. So with reputation at risk, I did my research to find some mind blowing tricks of the trade. Amazed with a plethora of information available, it seemed to me that even veteran bloggers share one common question. What am I going to blog about?
Here are some ideas I discovered that will get your blog going:
- Keep a Journal
Write everything down; keep a journal handy to jot down anything that inspires you throughout your day. Ideas appear when least expected. Even if you don't use it immediately your fire may reignite later on down the road.
- Expand
If you are an experienced blogger unlike me, you probably have some older blogs from when you first started out that can be expanded upon. Take those ideas and dig a little deeper.
- Keep an Open Mind
As they always say "you are your own worst critic" holds true (I am definitely guilty of this one). Try not to judge your ideas, this tends to block creativity.
- Brainstorm
Get out a pen and paper and let it flow.
- Experience
Use ideas from personal experiences. This will make your blog unique rather than writing about a subject others have already read about. You may be able to put a new spin on things.
- Inspiration
If it has inspired you, it is bound to inspire others.
- Google
Stuck? Just Google it, obviously this is a place I often go for inspiration.
- Express yourself
Is something bothering you? Do you need to get something off of your chest? If so, now is the time. Write about a topic that makes your temperature rise. You are bound to find someone out there who agrees.
- Try something new
Do something you have never done before. Did you love it or hate it? Write about it.
- Passion
Blog from the heart, anyone can report the facts. But if it comes from your heart and soul, you're likely to go a step further and create information that readers cannot find anywhere else.
