In the world of blogging or any writing medium content is very important, but sometimes it is hard to come up with something to write about. This happens on this blog a lot, sometimes I cannot think of something useful to write about. Even though this is a personal blog I do try to keep a good schedule of postings. But when I cannot think of anything to write about this becomes a problem. Here are some tips for finding things to write about.

E-mails
I don’t receive a bunch of e-mails asking about the internet or making money online, but I know there are people that do. They usually make a post with a few questions they have received in an e-mail and they answer the questions. This is informative to their users because they are the ones that submitted the questions. If anyone has any questions feel free to contact me.

Comments
Comments are another great resource of finding topics to write about. If you write a post and someone asks a question about the post you can easily do a follow up post. Also many times comments bring up other great topics to write about. If you don’t have comments on your blog you really should.

Other Blogs
Reading other blogs is a great way to find something to write about. I have a long list of blogs that I try to read each day. If someone writes a controversial post you can write a response to it, or you can write about the same thing the other blogger is writing about.

Social Networks
Places like Digg and other social networks make it easy to find something to write about. If you just look at their top stories, there will probably be at least 1 or 2 stories that you can write about.

I’m sure there are a lot of other resources for finding topics to write about, but these 4 are the ones that I use the most. If you have any suggestions on finding topics please leave a comment and let me know.
