How To Never Run Out of Topics to Write About

Frequently coming up with topics to write about is one of the biggest challenges of blogging. However, there are several tips you can use to find your way around writer's block.

• DRAW LESSONS FROM THE PERSONAL EXPERIENCES OF PEOPLE: Learn to constantly listen to people, ask questions. Most writers get their inspiration from the experiences of other people. When people try to tell you stuff about their lives, listen. Everyone has a unique story to tell. Listening to people and asking questions is one of the greatest steps towards impeccable writing.

• CONSTANTLY SURF THROUGH Q and A SITES: Spend time surfing through Q and A sites like Quora. That way, you'll be able to have ideas about the most frequently asked questions and what people really want. The questions will really help you to write creatively. You'll also be contributing your quota to the society by attending to the questions of several individuals.

• ENCOURAGE YOUR FOLLOWERS TO DROP COMMENTS ON THEIR FAVOURITE TOPICS: Your followers aren't there to just read your posts and upvote. They can also contribute to your creativity. Encourage them to drop comments about whatever they want you to write about. That way, you'll be attending to their needs and you won't run out of ideas. It'll be a win-win.

• RECYCLE IDEAS: Recycling of ideas is a major tactic to use in order to prevent running out of ideas or stuff to write about. Did you write about a topic in the past but there have recently been developments in the topic? Write about it again. Educate the readers more.... Conduct more research on the topic... Than you did the last time.

• SURF THROUGH OTHER PEOPLE'S CONTENT TO GET IDEAS, DO NOT PLAGIARISE: Make it a habit to surf through other people's content on this platform. No one is an island of knowledge. You can draw ideas from the write ups of other steemians, don't just open the article, upvote and leave. Try to read anything you can get your hands on. A major point is, DO NOT PLAGIARISE. We all have the ability to create unique content. All we have to do is think. You might read a fellow steemian's write up but you might see the person's ideas from an entirely different angle. Write about it.

• FIND TIME TO READ NEWS ABOUT YOUR FIELD: This is crucial. You have to make up time to read about the recent developments in your field. Things change everyday. There are always new things to write about. For example, for someone like me, I do book reviews. I always find time to check out the newest books in order to do a review. Your content shouldn't be stale. The world revolves everyday and we should revolve with it.

TIPS:

• Think simply, don't undermine your ideas. Write about anything that comes to your mind
• For steemians who are still trying to decide on a specific field to specialise in, don't fret. Just pay attention to the preferences of the readers. Write about everything you know how to write about and study the reactions of readers to your posts, study the feedback on your posts. Most often, the posts with the highest upvotes and comments is likely to be the field you'll thrive in.
• Most importantly, be unique and believe in yourself. Keep working hard. There's a light at the end of the tunnel 😊😊
