5 Ways To Get Inspiration to Blog
Posted in Blog Tips | By AhTim @ May 3rd, 2008
As a sincere blogger, we commit to bring useful and informative content to readers. Some time this is just too difficult for long run. Especially bloggers for years, its not easy for them to continue get more inspiration to blog. Unless they have planning ahead and look into its inspiration source seriously.
Although I am not a pro-blogger for years, I can feel the difficulty to commit good content everyday. Hence I decided to write a summary of how to get inspiration to blog.
5 Ways To Get Inspiration to Blog?
1. News
Grab the latest news and analyze the trend in your niche. Don’t copy the entire news content, but add in your own opinion on how you view about the news. Some time I just like to think of few possibilities to apply the news (either new gadget or internet tools) in my niche.
2. Magazines
For beginner blogger, I suggest you to read more magazines in your niche. Although we are not going to use its content, but it did help me to build up my writing skills. Invest few bucks to buy magazine in your niche once a month is worth it. The view point from magazine help you to get more inspiration to blog. My experience tell me this is true.
3. What I have done?
Always ask yourself, what you have done in your niche? Just write no matter it is a mistake or success example. Make your blog looks more friendliness and easy reading, not CNN news.
4. What Happen in the Blogsphere?
It was a surprise to me when I know many of successful bloggers do not read others blog. Maybe they just too busy on their inspiration. Or they are not interested on others. Read others blog is also a way to get inspiration to blog. It give you ideas on what people are concerning about? What people like or don’t like? Then you may write about it on your view point.
5. Write what people don’t write
Almost same with method 4. But this need more time to think about what people don’t write. Write an article that only you have is some sort of branding. It might make you outstanding from others if it really a good content.
My two cents
As for myself, other than these 5 ways to get inspiration, walk around and take a deep breathe could help me too. How about you? Any more ways you use to get inspiration to blog?

AhTim, i agree with you to read more magazine to built our writing skill. But unfortunately i cant get any computer magazines in Penang, even in Popular also i can’t found any computer related magazine (except those imported magazines, which are very very expansive).

Dicky, I think you can get it in Borders in Queensbay Mall. Now, I am studying in Penang. So, whenever I am free, I will go to borders and read..
