Blog Post Idea Generation: 30+ Ways to Come Up with Ideas for Your Blog
Offered By: Skillshare
Course Description
Overview
When it comes to running a successful blog, coming up with blog post ideas is half the battle. In fact, when people join my email list, in the first email, I ask them to reply and tell me their biggest blogging challenge. At least 25% of them say, "Coming up with blog post ideas," or "Knowing what to write about," or something similar.
That's what motivated me to write my book, Blogger's Quick Guide to Blog Post Ideas, and to then create this class.
The bottom line is that it truly is easier to write when you have an abundance of ideas rather than sitting there looking at a blank page, wondering what to write.
So in this class, I give you 30+ ways to generate blog post ideas. Many of them take 10 minutes or less and can give you an endless - YES, endless - supply of blog post ideas.
The Project For This Class
For your class project, you'll pick one of the idea-generation methods in this class. Set a timer for 10 minutes, and using the method, see how many ideas you can come up with before the timer goes off. Share the method you used, along with your blog post ideas that you came up with with the rest of us.
