HOW TO AVOID BLOG BLOCKS

How to Avoid Blogger's Block


Most bloggers know the importance of updating often. The last thing we want is for our traffic to drift off because we don't have anything to say. What happens if we experience blogger's block? How can we update, if we don't know what to talk about? Here are some tips for finding ideas.
Make a daily list of blog stops:

Subscribe to plenty of blog feeds. Not only those that are in the same niche groups but anything you find interesting. Expand on other bloggers' ideas or find ideas of your own.
Use your tools:

One of my favorite tools is Google Alerts I currently subscribe to at least a dozen alerts on anything from blogging to jobs to news about people I find interesting. What I love about Google Alerts is how it always throws out an interesting tidbit or two I might not have found on my own. Stumble Upon is another favorite, but it can also be dangerous as it's a great way to procrastinate.

Make lists :

Always keep a list of things to blog about and update often. If a blog topic doesn't immediately come to mind, consult your list.

We all suffer through a block now and then. The important thing to remember is that it's only temporary. Keep up with the feeds, read the news and use tools such as Google Alerts or Stumble Upon. Keep that content, and traffic, flowing!
