Guest post by Amy Parmenter from parmfarm.com.
Have you ever wondered how to get Darren, other bloggers list of so much great content? it looks simple to come pouring out: day after day, month after month, year after year, there is a constant flow of information and inspiration. In the meantime, we'll quickly runs dry.
As a journalist, too, am I called him to create new stories every day. While some of the stories get themselves, most do not.There are plenty of slow news days, with the advent of new cycle 24 hours a day, and almost always need a good story.
Over the years, I found my biggest inspiration comes when "I think outside the newsroom", I ask myself, "what people are talking about? what people about?Who has a problem might be able to address? "and, with this story ideas flow.
It's no wonder that I found that holds true for blogs.
When you're looking for inspiration, you spend the whole day on the Internet, read what others have written and tried to make it call it your own. Alternatively, you can think outside of the blog.Takes a little more work and creativity, but the end result is truly original posts and the chance to develop a loyal following.
Here are seven ways to find inspiration by "thinking outside of the blog."
Given that I am a journalist, you might think that it would be a no-brainer, but like Darren and Kim on Regator must both pointed out, if you are going to write about topics trending, you want to offer a unique perspective. Who said it's easier to do so.Write about an interesting topic to du jour, useful with your niche, which can be quite the challenge.
For example, my blog discusses the growing personally, professionally, I wondered how that can be written to the football World Cup or bpaotz of horns?
What about an article named "Silencing Vuvuzelas"? I'm a post comparing the structure of games to successive noise that successive noise in your head that criticizes everything you do.Once you get it just part of the game, easier target.
Aware of the fact that not all of these exercises, but here's another reason to do so — even if only a walking trip. me, he thinks walk (or incremental, or swimming). safe exercise kindness, but it also clears the mind (silencing the vuvuzelas!), more often than not, ideas pop within or across domains only your path.
For instance, I'm a bike riding out the day, I saw beautiful goose stuffed with the idea of crossing the road. Unfortunately, on my return, goose it was on the opposite side of the road, with his head.
Vbhcerot. How can I possibly write about it? Remember, I write about personal and professional growth.
Following my post was entitled "the life lesson I learned from Goose." message was simple: If God gives you wings, use them.
This is a tricky one, is for you to determine where to draw the line, but one of the things that makes the ProBlogger so successful is that it is so personal in nature. even if Darren is unknown to you, don't you feel like you know Darren?
Is shared about his family, he should be a reference to this belief, we know he likes to photograph because of any of these things, at one time or another, has served as the inspiration for this blog.
Mistakes and failures are not the same thing, but they can both provide inspiration, even if it hurts.For the purposes of my failure to something you've tried to not work as you hoped, but it is a mistake to something they have done in the first place. in any event, if it results in a blog post, something good comes from it.
For instance, recently I wiped out all of the files on my computer, not back then, frustration and anger only myself to blame me, I'm no good reason lspsli owners.
While I'm ashamed to admit, I am so proud of both blog produced it: "what I learned on my relationships and my computer: If something is important to you — protect it."
In terms of failures, some of the best bloggers write about things you've already tried to settings that worked.Not only this information is useful, but it's also inspiring because you can see also who we recognise as "successful" there were disappointments along the way.
To clarify, we think outside of the blog here, so I refers to the failure is not about fall short in several subscribers she be at some point in time.A better example would be one of the most popular posts in the blog digital photography of Darren about taking pictures blurry images.
This is one easy. how often Darren write about someone asked the same question or something that came in the conversation?Rarely a day go by when I don't have a conversation could parlay into a post.
For instance, recently I had a conversation with a friend was frustrated in his work is not going to go ... to his boss and on the same day, but he came to realize the need is changing.
Blog post!
One short phone call was the inspiration for "what's next?", a post about the importance of forward thinking.
While we all want to be probloggers, most professional bloggers are something else. already told you I'm a reporter today (and sometimes by night …), but this does not mean that only you can find new inspiration for my work.
For instance, we all know and believe in me is changing the media, I am thick of it. like so many other industries, there are few job security, who still come do twice as many half payment.
Blog post!
Witness my other struggling to re-journalists invent themselves, I wrote the post, "wait for your change," a small anecdote about what to do when you don't know what to do next.
This is easy because it's one that everyone can relate to what you're afraid of? what are readers fear? write about this you don't need to get rid of fear: simple OK it builds a sense of these went to build — perhaps even eliminate some of your fears!
For example, as a blogger you have to wear many hats at the same time ... but what if no one reads your posts? what if someone leaves a comment you left out responding? what if I don't publish regularly as promised you? what if …
It is so overwhelming! so Darren wrote a post on the great feeling dazed that made us all feel a little better.
Inspiration is all around you just look.
To see him. feel it. write about it.
