Introduction

W hen it comes to running a successful blog, coming up with blog post ideas is half the battle. In my experience with blogging Ive found that as long as I have an idea for what to write about, its pretty easy for me to sit down and do it. However, when I have no clue what to write about, the empty page and the blinking cursor seem to mock me. Thats when the dreaded writers block strikes.

The good news is, its possible to have an endless yes, endless supply of blog post ideas. The key is to have ways to generate ideas and a system in place for capturing and organizing ideas. And that is what this book is all about.

Why Your Ideas Matter

Before I get into the structure of this book, I want to address a major issue: your ideas matter.

Maybe its just me, but if Im totally honest, in my heart of hearts, sometimes I fear that I have nothing unique to offer to the world. I share that with you because if you ever feel that way, I want you to know youre not alone.

I also want to share the truth with you that Ive discovered, and that is that my ideas matter and so do yours. We are each unique. No one else on the planet can offer what we can. Sure, there may be other bloggers perhaps even very successful ones that blog on the same topic we do. But no one and I mean NO ONE has your unique gifts and personality. No one else sees the world exactly the same way you do. No one has your insight. Your gift, your insight, your you-ness is a

gift the world needs. And your blog is one of the best ways to share that gift with the world.

People Are Looking for Solutions You Offer

I also want you to understand and embrace the fact that people are looking for the solutions that you offer. Regardless of your niche, your passion, your business or ministry, people need your knowledge and insight.

Be encouraged by how much you matter and how important it is to unleash the ideas that are buried deep inside you. My goal is for you to unearth and shine up those ideas as a result of reading this book.

How This Book Is Structured

I divided this book into the following three parts:

#1: How to Set up a Blog Post Idea Capture System

• Analog Tools
• Digital Tools

In this section, I get into the pros and cons of analog and digital tools for capturing blog post ideas. I also share some of my favorite tools with you.

#2: How to Nurture Creativity

Stress and the regular day-to-day grind can run our creativity well dry. In this section, I get into ways to recharge and refuel, and how to live life in such a way that creativity flows.

#3: How to Come Up with Ideas

This section is the meat of the book. I include over 30 methods for generating blog post ideas. Regardless of your personality and your work style, in this section, youre sure to find ways to generate blog post ideas that are perfect for you.

The book concludes with suggestions for evaluating and using the blog post ideas that you generate.

Developing the Blogging Habit

By the way, as I mentioned above, coming up with blog post ideas is half the battle. The other half of the battle is making blogging a habit. As a companion to this book, Ive created the free e-course, 5 Secrets to Developing the Blogging Habit, which you can get here:

Without further ado, lets go ahead and dive in!

SET UP A BLOG POST IDEA CAPTURE SYSTEM

B efore I get into how to come up with blog post ideas, I want to first give you some options for setting up a way to capture all of your ideas. Im putting this first because you can come up with a gazillion ideas, but if you dont have a good way to capture them, you wont be able to find them when you need them.
