One of the hardest things for any new bloggers is coming up with new writing topics day by day. There are a few strategies that I’ve come up with in the past for coming up with a new writing topic in a bind including:
1. Using Google Analytics to see what keywords people have used to find your blog, then writing one of those topics more in depth.
2. Criticizing anything in the news related to your blog.
3. Revisiting old articles and updating or further covering those topics/
4. Covering any new tech products
But one of the easiest ways to come up with any new topic on the fly is answering commments. In fact this post is the result of a comment. The commenter asked:
I aslo noticed the fact that many bloggers don’t update their blogs as often as before.
So nick, would you please give your kindly advice about that? Thanks

So as I said David, just look around you. Your Analytics gives you plenty of clues about topics that should be covered. The news is a great source to look, make sure you’ve subscribed to tons of blog feeds in order to always be informed, an in the worst case, just blog your thoughts on the topic.
Still no post is better than some half thought out irrelevant post that just pisses off readers.
