To become a successful blogger or writer, content is a priority.
There are lots of bloggers who failed to keep their consistency in
developing content in their blog. This problem also known as ‘writers block’.
They stuck, and they think they need more time to plan their next blogpost.
In one part, I do agree with this. Some writers need time to generate
blogpost ideas. However, there is a way to overcome this problem
without consuming too much time.
This is what I’m going to share with you. This idea comes from an e-book that I just read from Patric Chan.
Stop, who is he?

He is one of my idol in building Internet business empire. Patric

books that achieved best-seller status.
He is very popular on self-development niche. Where he cooperate with

Most importantly, he lives in Malaysia.
In his latest free e-book called ‘How to Get Blog Readers’,
he presented lots of good ideas for bloggers who really want to solve
their writers block problem. I’m going to share it with you.
Let’s get on it.
#1 – Go to Community Sites
Also known as forums.
Forums is a good place for you to find blogpost ideas. Because there
are a lots of question asked by the community. You can use it to write
your next blogpost.
For example, if I visit weight loss forum and I found that there is
popular thread about ‘best weight loss supplement’, I can generate some
blogpost ideas that will benefits the community such as:
- Top 10 Best Weight Loss Supplements.
- Don’t Buy Weight Loss Supplements Until You Read This Post.
If you don’t know where to find a forum or community sites that suit your niche, listen to Patric Chan’s advice:
“If you don’t visit forums regularly or you don’t know where to search for forums, you can go to www.big-boards.com. When you’re there you can search for your topic and see the treads from forums.”
#2 – OPA – Other People Articles
I remember one advice given by Stephen King, a best-seller author;
“If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.”
In this case, if you want to burn out your writers block, then spend your time to read more articles.
The more you read, the more you will understand your subject. Once you
understand something deeper, there will be a lot of things that you want
to share with your readers.
There is one place that recommended by Patric Chan for a start. You can go to Ezine Articles. This site contain thousands of articles from any range of subject.
Besides that, you can also become their regular contributor to gain authority and brand yourself as an expert in your niche.
Writing is all about doing research and presented it with your own style.
