Blogger's Block

Like many others , I am faced with writer's block, or let's call it blogger's block. 

So i always look for tips and I have found some tips that maybe be of some help to me and you. Hope they will be of use to you :) 

1. Find out different types of blog posts written. Here are some examples:

• Interview someone who is established in your niche and record it as well. You could put the recording along with a transcript on your blog posts.
• Report an event that happened recently in your niche with some interesting analysis. You could even write interesting analysis about an event that happened a few years ago and how it is affecting your readers now. Further, you could predict an impact of an event that occurred just a few days back or an event that you think may happen in the future.
• Write a solution to something that your readers find a hindrance at most times. You can even write a tutorial on the same in a step-by-step format. Tutorials are a great way to help your readers find a lot of value.
• Your readers always look for something that will help them grow. If you could go through previous comments mentioned on your blog by your readers, you can figure out what your readers are looking forward to from you.
• You could write blog posts mentioning lists. For instance, “Top 10 XYZ ” or “Most liked movies of the year”. These are posts that describe your rating towards a specific idea, person or business that will be termed HOT by your readers.

2. Always make a list. Before you even find your self stranded without an idea that you find worth mentioning within your blog posts, make sure you make a lists of sources from where you would be able to carve fresh ideas all the time within your niche. Not only that, keep a ready list within an excel sheet for the next 10 -20 ideas that you are going to write. Keep updating it whenever you find time to do so.

3. Another alternative is you could ask someone else to give you fresh ideas on writing blog posts. Though this is something you can do on your own, it drives a new perspective to your mind and your blogs’ content strategy especially when you have run out of fresh ideas.

4. You might want to address a social issue which bothers you or an uncommon and less known disease condition which you are aware of.

5. At times, you might also want to do compilation of  things you like the most. For example if you like stamps then research about it, take images & collate it in one post. Do link back to the sources. Collating everything in one place is also useful to the readers.

6. Go back to your earlier posts and see if you have mentioned about something which has been updated lately. For instance, if you have gone for a trip to your hometown or anywhere else and have visited that place again or plan to, then update your readers about it.

7. Write a fiction story. You might be guessing how to think of a story if you are already facing writer’s block. Its simple! Take a situation of your or your friends/relatives’ life and get into your imagination mode. Imagine yourself as carrying a magic wand like that of Harry Potter or being a Vampire from Twilight! Create that magic, thriller or murder story and pen it down. Readers would love the once in a while fiction break!

8. Post some pictures. Whenever you go wordless then one way out also is to post a picture that catches your eye.

More tips :-

1. Love what you do
   First and foremost rule when doing anything is learning to love what you do. Whatever you do, do it with a lot of passion and immense love for the task. The passion with which you write will invariably be communicated to your readers. A blog is uninteresting only when the writer himself isn’t very interested in his own writing and doesn’t put his heart and soul into it.
2. Be yourself
   Never try to be someone you are not or try to project an image which is not akin to you. It never works. Most of the good blogs we have read / good writers we know are the ones who put in a lot of themselves into their blog. There is so much of them in their writing that at some level you start relating to them and their blog becomes a must read and sooner than later you start becoming addicted to their blog. Such is the power of a well written blog
3. Write for yourself
   Never write to please anyone else because it is just not possible to please everyone. Remember you can please some of the people all the time and all the time some times but you can never please all the people all the time. So write for yourself. Let good quality writing be the first and foremost thing in your entry. Everything else will automatically fall in place.
4. Be Creative
   Roald Dahl used to say that a good writer is one who can bring a scene alive in the minds of the readers. While reading your blog a writer should be able to visualize the scenes you are describing as vividly as you did when you wrote the blog. Remember, the minute a reader feels that he is not able to relate to your posts you have lost him. Keep the readers interest alive. A good writer is one who can make even the most mundane and boring topics come alive just with the power of his/her writing.
5. KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)
   As clichéd as it sounds, this is a very very effective point and will go a long way in attracting visitors. Never try to use big words when simple words will suffice, never try to make a sentence large and complicated when the same idea can be conveyed in a very simple manner. Remember if readers wanted to learn English they would rather buy a dictionary or enroll themselves in classes than read your blog. Simple ideas are the ones which are conveyed most effectively. There is no point in confusing your reader. Amuse your reader, don’t bemuse him.
6. Be Original
   This is a golden rule to be followed when blogging. Post original stuff which you have written, not forwards or poems or articles lifted from elsewhere. As the header on BlogAdda said “If you have original content, readers will stay longer and come back sooner”.
7. Use Humour
   Lastly, use humour effectively. The best thing you can give a reader is a good laugh, the best thing in the world for a writer is the realization that he/she has the ability to make people laugh and the best way to talk about any issue is to talk about it in a lighter vein. Humor can be used to drive a point quickly and effectively. So use humor wherever possible.
