I can be sitting there playing avideo game and a blog idea pops in my mind. I immediately write it down. If I do not write it down, then I will not remember it later. So, unless you are driving down the road, when that idea pops in your mind, write it down!

I know this one sounds weird, but when I’m reading the news and looking through headlines, I come up with blog ideas. It seems like the news headlines gets my mind going. For example, the other day, I was reading the news and read about the oil spill. Then, I wrote an article about the oil spill and the problems it will cause in the future.

I know, you may not want to watch talk shows and I don’t like watching them myself, but when I’m doing articles during the week, each morning, I put Rachel Ray on the television. She does have some good ideas and has helped me come up with many blogs. For example, she made me think of “7 Easy to do Recipes at Home…”

It’s easy for me to come up with ideas, because throughout the week, I work on hundreds of articles (that is no lie), so when I’m doing research for a client's articles, I am also working to come up with ideas on blogs at the same time. Every time I find something, I either book mark it in my folder called “blog ideas” and go back to it later or I write it down. Either way works for me. Since I also write hundreds of articles and blog posts a week from clients who give me keywords from their own mind, those keywords also give me ideas on blogs to write.

Have you had experiences in your life that you have wanted to tell other people about? If so, then why not put it in a blog? Do you have animals and you want to tell others how to take careof them? Then write blogs about it. What is the next upcoming holiday? Write about it.

If you like pop culture, then try writing about your favorite actors/actresses. If you like music, then write about songs to listen to in your car. There are so many blogs you can write about that pertains to music. What are some good bands from the 80’s? You could write a rant on what bothers you the most. Find hilarious pictures and talk about how funny they are.

You see, no matter who or where you are, you can come up with blogs. I never really have problems coming up with blogs, but there have been a couple of times where I have stumbled for a couple of minutes – then, I ask my husband for some ideas and he gets my mind going again. If you find yourself having problems, then don’t give up on doing it. So, which blogs do you write for and do you get paid for doing it?
