Blogger's Block Tips and Useful Sites

Serious blogger who wants to climb the google result pages needs to work double. First, a blogger needs posts, and a lot of them, though high quality and original posts is what you need to climb to top of the results. Though, what will you post if you have nothing in mind? Easy, get inspired. Yeah right get inspired, but what if your inspiration does not match the theme of your blog, for example your thinking of your vacation, though your blog is all about education. That is what we call the "Blogger's Block" where you have no good idea on what to post about. Well keep on reading for some tips and websites that might help you out into a great topic.

Some Tips

• If you have an idea in your mind and your away from the computer, make sure to list it down.

Don't think about complicated things, sometimes a good post comes from a simple idea.

• If you happen to be on the computer and the nets down, write down your next post on notepad, and post it later on.

Be satisfied with your layout. Sometimes you don't feel like posting something because you don't like your layout. If you really want to change your layout immediately then try to do at least 2 scheduled posts first so that you could have free time tweaking it.

Read. Yes read, reading other blogs rather than yours also helps you gather some idea. You might bump into a topic that is quite interesting for you, though make sure not to copy that topic, be original.

Have someone besides you. Sometimes idea pops out of you while staring at the computer and chatting with the one besides you.

Always have a deadline for that topic. Setting a deadline for a post is essential though it is hard to implement if you lack discipline. With a deadline you are sure to finish a post, if you happen to not like the post, you can still edit it. Though editing published posts is not recommended, reviewing before posting is better than editing.

If possible kill the music for a while. Music can interfere if it is too loud, or it can make you get lost while typing when you happen to love the song that is currently playing. While doing your post, try to stop the music for a while, except if it's instrumental, I don't think it does a lot of distraction anyway.

Focus on your goal. Usually being at the front of the computer gives us a lot of distraction, sometimes we open a lot of other websites, or we chat with someone instead of doing the post. Take a break and have a cup of coffee, and think of what post you should do, after posting you are free to do whatever you like. Remember you can't multitask, always make your post of the day first before doing something else.
