I know what it’s like.
You’re all fired up to tick off “write blog post” from your to-do list, so you sit at the keyboard, hands poised and … your brain is fried. Empty. Random thoughts and ideas might jump in and be dismissed as rapidly. Nothing sticks. No idea seems good enough.
The deadline approaches for you to post.
If this sounds familiar, I just faced it too on another blog. So I resorted to Auntie Google to come up with some solutions for me!
There is a surprisingly wide range of input from other bloggers so I though I’d share some with you to save you time when you next sit down to write!
Use them to get you back into productive mode…

Personally I find it frustrating when people struggle to make money from the hard work and creativity they put into their blog. Scrapping and scraping by. Have a look at the comprehensive 12 Module course that shows you everything needed about blogging as a business. CLICK HERE.
Were these resources useful to you? What do you do when you face a blank screen as you’re ready to write?
Fab resources Mel! I love ubersuggest and soovle too for generating ideas 🙂
Ok that’s one I hadn’t heard about – off to check out soovle!
Wow, so many great resources are here, Mel. When I’m stuck, I use a keyword tool like UberSuggest. I type in my topic and dig through the keywords that it comes up with. This usually helps me find an angle that I haven’t already covered.
Oh yes – that is a good tool. Thanks for the reminder, Avery!
Mel, you’re a pool of knowledge. Where did you find all of these websites? Wow! I’ll have to bookmark this post to use it as a reference in the future.
When I tend to run out of ideas, I check out Google trends, Google News and type in “how to” in a keyword tool. You can find good ideas for how to videos by using that search phrase.
Thanks for sharing all of these Mel!
Good add-ons, Cynthia – thanks.
What an awesome post of resources… bookmarking!!!
🙂
Great round up of blogging ideas.
I also like the blog title generators. I have used those a couple of time. They are fun 🙂
They do come up with some weird suggestions sometimes! 🙂
This is such a great resource, Mel. Thanks so much for sharing it. I’m bookmarking it for the next time I suffer with writer’s block.
Pleasure – glad it’s useful. Thanks.
