Coming up with ideas for new blog posts is not an easy thing for most people and depending on your niche sometimes it can be very hard. But for a niche like make money online , Make money blogging this is never going to be a problem. Below are some things I do to come up with blog post ideas , although most of them are relevant to making money online there are tips for every blogger. And if you feel like you have a great way of forming ideas feel free to share them in the comments section.

• Read - reading other blogs is one of the best ways to come up with blog post ideas. Subscribe to the RSS feeds of the top players in your niche and read there posts regularly. Then you will be updated about the latest services and events in your niche so you can blog about them in a timely manner. I'm not saying you should copy there posts but give your own opinion of a new service or something like that. Take a while to read the comments in blog posts as well , this is usually the place where visitors ask questions and look for clarification , which you can use for your next post. With the emergence of RSS now it has become even more easy to read blogs. With a service like Google reader you can check out post titles of many blogs easily and form new great blog post ideas.
• Forums , Yahoo Answers - Forums and Yahoo answers are a great place to get new post ideas. There are always people searching for how to do this , how to add this etc so it could be a great idea to write a how to kind of posts. These posts tend to do well in social media and rank well in search engines as well. Most of my how to posts ideas came from Yahoo answers and comments I have read on other blogs. The most commented blog post in this blog is how to add a favicon in blogger/blogspot which still gets a decent amount of traffic and I wrote it after seeing a comment in forum.
• Ask the readers - Your blog is not worth much without readers so you must do everything possible to satisfy there needs. Encourage readers to ask questions in the comments section and if you see that your getting the same question very often then that is a great idea to write a blog post because chances are more people will want to know the answer to that question. I wrote about how to receive money through PayPal for send only accounts because that is one of the most common questions I get from my Sri Lankan readers. You can even use a service like skirbit which helps your readers ask questions and let other vote on them so you can easily decide what people want to know most. Services like that are not very useful unless you have a considerable following.

I hope these tips will help you get over the dreaded writers block easily and if you have another method of forming great blog post ideas share them in the comments section
