Having a hard time finding something to write about? Not a professional writer? This could be the hardest thing about blogging! The dreaded WRITER’S BLOCK.

Boo!

Some folks write about whatever is on their mind, (like me) or create an online journal. But most bloggers know, you can’t just write about what you want, you have to think about what your readers want!!

So let’s do some research and get you unstuck!

Every day there are tons of searches in Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. The BIG search engines! Use these search terms to help you get ideas for blog posts!! AND more traffic to your blog!

No more writers block! No more lonely blogs….

K, stick with me here…

You could go over to Yahoo Answers, and put in a word that your blog is about. I put “blogging” in the search answers field. (You can put whatever you want. Whatever your blog is about.)

And this is what I got! 66 questions (66 blog topics!) Here are just a few. (And I copy/pasted, so I know the grammar isn’t perfect)

• How do I combine my loves to make a great blog?

• How to get more traffic to my Blog?

• Could you give me a topic for my blog, to make it more interesting?

• From where to start blogging? Suggest good blogging websites and also hot topics to write blog on.?

• How can I set up a link on my blog to a PDF file I have on my computer?

So I could write a blog post on how to set up a link to a PDF, or how to get traffic, or maybe some good blogging websites or themes, anything people are looking for!!

Easy huh? YUP!

Are you into How-to? Answers.com or About.com can also give you some great blogging ideas. Another one I just found today is Amazon.com and their reviews are full of ideas to blog about! Just pick a product like ‘blogging’ and scroll down to the bottom and there are a ton of customer reviews that are asking questions AND giving ideas!

And another one…Steal other people’s ideas!  Did I say STEAL?

Yep!

Steal ‘em!!

You can visit popular blogs and see what other bloggers are talking about. I did that here in reference to Perry Marshall’s blog.

You don’t want to really steal their ideas, don’t copy/paste or plagiarize, but drum up some cool ideas of your own. I do it all the time! Reading other peoples’ blogs can spark up some new ideas and get your thought process going! Another perk to reading other blogs, you can leave quality comments on the blogs and get some exposure to people you might have never known. That’s called NETWORKING. (and social-butterfly-ness!) And please DON’T leave the dreaded comment….’nice post’ Blah!

Hopefully you have thought up some ideas for your blog posts! Be sure to you pay attention to which topics are the coolest so you will know which ones are most effective.

AND…I’ll be posting about blog titles in the near future….Sally Neill has got me thinking!(stealing from Sally, haha!)

Thanks Sally!

So I hope you are on your way to better blog topics! Titles are coming soon!

It’s January 2, 2011 and as I sit here thinking about my New Years resolutions, a blog post that I read yesterday comes to mind. Talk about a slap in the face!

Most people resolve to lose weight, stop smoking, stop drinking, love more and worry less. I was thinking about those things as well, but after reading this blog post, my New Year’s Resolution has changed!

I resolve to have more Courage.

More courage to do the things I need to do to make a better life for me and my family.

More courage to get things taken care of that is leading me to my goals.

And more courage to step up and be counted among the top 1% of people who get things done!

I have dreams and aspirations. I want to be financially independent so I can use my time in other things than working an 8-5. Like being with my kids and helping out folks in need. I want to be able to give more and do more. More time, more money and more love. And I want to turn these dreams into goals and then into reality.

2011 is mine!!

I will stop listening to the people who tell me I am crazy to think I can make a living online.

I will make every minute I have online productive.

I will make every moment I have with my kiddos and hubby count.

I will dedicate my time and knowledge in this internet world to help someone else!

I will learn more and become an expert at what I do! Like the Top 1 %

I will rise up from the crowd and become the person God wants me to be!

Now this isn’t gong to be easy, we all want to stay in our comfort zone. It’s comfy, but not going to get us anywhere in life. So I am stepping out of the comfort zone and you will see it here on the blog!

I am going to finish my ebook I started months ago, and learn Camtasia so I can make videos instead of screen shots and help as many people as I can have a better life whether it’s online or offline. I am also going to learn how to become the best Information Marketer and Super Affiliate I can be!

It’s time to STEP UP!!

And today January 2, 2011 is day 1!

Do you have New Year’s resolutions? Is it your time to step up and step out!?

Leave me a comment below and let me know!

Happy, Happy and Very Prosperous New Year!!

God Bless you all!
