How to Get Ideas to Write the Blog Content

Whenever we think to write, wait!! We have to think before we write & that's the point! The topic is straight and simple "How to get ideas to write the blog content?" or should I say "Where to get the ideas"? Let's not make it more confusing and come to the point. Here are the 5 top places where you will find the ideas to write. Also we will do the SWOT analysis (A marketing term of Strength, weakness, opportunities & threats) about every method that we are going to use.

Social Media- It is very usual to write about ongoing events, jibber-jabbers in media gallery & other hot topics around the world. You can choose any topic, like Cinema, Techno news, economic ups & downs, political talks, Social trends, Social campaigns' news & many other topics like this.

• Strength : You never will be out of the write up related to the news. There are always plethora things to write when you are associated with current affairs and news.
• Weakness: There is a hell of a COMPETITION, many news channel and social media sites are ahead of you, so it is too hard to get attention of viewers.  

Books and movies: One of my friends watched the movie "The Imitation Game", he was so inspired by the movie that he made a blog for it, which has all the main information, about cast and crew, related facts of the movie & story line & every possible piece of info. Other than this I have seen guys writing on their blogs the topics-

X seasons you should watch.

X reasons to watch Z movie.

X books you should read before you die.

How X movie should end

So now you might have many ideas if you are a reader or a movie/season lover.

• Strength: People are more influenced by the thinking of a book/movie/season, they become fans of these things and eventually they become fans of your blog too, based on these topics.
• Weakness:You need to think harder about the message conveyed by the specific books/movie/season. It is not very hard if you are a movie maniac, but it won't work if you are not very much interested and do not watch or read profoundly.

Social Cause: There are many problems that you can see in the world and you want to appeal and talk to the people about those issues then this is beyond just an idea. You really thinking very well. You may write on water crisis, global warming, education of weak and poor, helping to a specific society or people. I am also associated with the famous site working for social cause- Globalcitizen.org

• Strength:This is the best you can do, to fight for a cause or to raise your voice for the betterment of humankind. People will definitely support you.
• Weakness: Although we should not see the profit or loss for a social cause but still if you think the weakness of this great idea, then it would be that people may not notice you in the beginning, you have to do more work out of home rather than typing in your blog. Once you get the attention, your blog will be your voice then.

Things that make you wonder: This is the simplest way that shows you an idea of a lifetime. Your curiosity raises questions and when you try to find the answers, then you also want to share it with like minded people and from here the journey of blog writing starts. You can write about science, historical facts or cooking. You will see blogs like:

Why republic day is celebrated

Why reading is important

Why boys are attracted towards girls

What were the reasons of french revolution

How night and day happens

• Strength: Curiousness and questions are like urge for people. If you write very good & correct answers, then you don't need to make extra efforts to fetch viewers, all you need to do is to raise the right question.
• Weakness: You have to study and understand the things better and then the expression must be understandable when you write it for readers.

Pick up Ideas from the surroundings: Well, this is a little bit tricky. You need more imagination & presence of mind to do that. The great authors and writers do the same thing. It is like the art of extempore. You go through a situation which ignites an idea suddenly to your mind. For example: This morning I was cooking the noodles, but as it was my first time I blew up the whole party and that gave me an idea that I should learn and then write about cooking food and dishes so that I can help others like me and I made a blog that instant:

How to cook X 

What shouldn't do while cooking X

What to do for a better test in X meal

Sometimes you can think extraordinary like, you are in a boredom state of mind and then you think like what is your motto in the life and suddenly you get your philosophical story as

Why we exist

What is the aim of human life

These are just examples, this is a broad category of ideas if you can see and think about the things and happenings around you. It is like you have infinite ideas from now on.

• Strength: Your imagination gets stronger and it develops a quality of narrator in you. You can become more than a blogger some day.
• Weakness: If the topics are too arbitrary, then sometimes you can out of articles and also trivial ideas won't work, blog writing become diary writing if viewers don't come so you need to decide first that you are writing for yourself or for readers.
