How to Get Great Ideas for Your Blog Posts Every Day!

Since most people focus on just one blog - make it great! How does a blog become great? Content - or in other words many many posts! Be a blog posting machine! lol

But I don't know what to write about? No problem. It's easy all you have to do is brainstorm a little.

Open up a document on your computer or if you like doing things the old school way grab a pen and paper (actually you may want to try this method because there is something powerful about the physical act of writing down your ideas - I don't know how to describe it - I only know from DOING - that it can bring out a new level of creativity in you).

Now that you're armed with your writing media stare off into space! What??!? lol Seriously - you want to just sit there and IMAGINE. That's what you're going to do. Don't worry if you feel silly at first, trust me once it works once you'll never doubt this method again!

So what should I imagine? lol That is a funny question but an apt one no less!

Imagine yourself asking questions - to begin with all you need is one little idea or question.

Let's say your question is: How can I make money selling dog toys online?

Instead of going - I have no idea how to go about answering this question and just giving up - give yourself a chance first.

Let's try your question out for a stroll down a busy city street.

So here you are walking down store fronts and there's one that's selling dog toys! Wow! What a coincidence! lol

Now peer in the window - what do you see? A store owner behind the register smiling and counting big wads of cash...okay...let's keep looking around....a variety of dog collars on a rack some with different features and some even on sale.

BAM! This is what I call your first jump off point....are you ready to fly? Here we go!

Right away these questions pop into your mind:

How many collars should I sell?

What collars should I sell?

What collars are popular?

What color collars are popular?

Does my dog like his collar?

What features do I like in my dog's collar?

Can I make my own collars to sell?

How much do collars cost?

How much could I sell collars for and still be reasonable for my clients?

How many collars should I buy and keep in stock?

Can I purchase some dog collars wholesale and then be able to sell them for cheaper than my competitors?

What about people who have several dogs - what are the best collars for them to walk their dogs at the same time?

What about decorations? What are the current trends in dog bling?

Should I cater to girl's dogs because a lot of girls like to dress up their toy dogs?

Should I only sell toy dog collars?

Is their a better market out there right now for toy dog collars instead of just all collars in general?

If I specialize in toy dog collars what would be the benefits? The repercussions? etc.

How can I become the specialist everyone turns to to buy their toy dog collars?

Well....you get my point....zooom zooooom zooooooooooooom! It flies by really fast - if you're not a fast typist or writer I suggest you get a tape recorder and tape your ideas as they fly out of your mouth!

So now what? I've got all these great questions which can help me but what do I do with them????

It's so simple it's staring you right in the face - pick the question that is the highest priority to you in the moment and do a straightforward internet search on it - such as in google or yahoo.

Don't be surprised if you immediately come across some helpful tips, answers, or information which can aid you in your decision to specialize in toy dog collars or not.

Have fun! Just make sure you do this when you won't be interrupted - trust me - when you're on a roll and someone says "Hey it's time for dinner" You're going to dread that meal! lol

What if I don't have any free time? Nice try! We all have to go to the bathroom sometime during the day and most of us (I hope) take a shower or bath daily - just put your tape recorder and a towel nearby and you'll have at least 10-30 minutes a day of uninterrupted time to brainstorm!

Get going I want to read your great blog postings!

Your friendly,

CB Webmaster

P.S. Hey if you've got any left over free time you might wanna try this technique too!
