Website Blog Ideas

Eight Proven Ways to Get Your Juices Flowing

A drive up the Blue Ridge Parkway can spur ideas

Writing in Asheville rarely leaves our creativity time to go dormant. Around every corner sits a new and intriguing idea, an exciting question or an entirely off-beat take on an old suggestion. A brief walk through downtown or a quick drive up a mountain highway can get your ideas juices flowing. And it’s during those times that you need to prepare for your blog.

Too often, we hear of bloggers who sit down at their computers and expect to create a sensational piece that will draw readers in and excite their imaginations. We all want to create the kind of reading experience that will make our customers stand up and pay attention. But if we wait until the last minute to tap into the well of ideas, the flow may just not be there on demand.

What’s a Blogger to Do?

The following suggestions are what keep us at Ray Access in tune with our creative juices, maintaining a flow of ideas for our blog (and yours if you’re a client). Here are our tips for coming up with your own website blog ideas:

  1. Keep a highlighter handy at all times to help you remember a great idea you got from a newspaper or other published print source.
  2. Carry a small notepad and jot down ideas when they come, no matter where you are. Stick one on your nightstand because the brain can get active when we begin to shut down or just after waking.
  3. Call yourself and leave a message you can listen to at a more appropriate time when you get struck with inspiration.
  4. Bookmark news websites or industry articles that get your thoughts all wound up and activated.
  5. Throw out a challenge to friends and family members at dinner to give you blogging ideas. And then write them down before you forget.
  6. Put yourself in your customers’ seats and think about what they might want to know.
  7. Perform a keyword search every couple weeks to see what’s trending on the big search engines and incorporate those ideas in your own topics.
  8. Read, read, and read some more. The fact is that writers read. Not only will ideas for topics jump from the pages, but you’ll become a better writer too.

We hope these ideas stirred up some inspiration for you. No matter where you are, capture those ideas for later, when you’re ready to write. We do, so we have lots of ideas. If you run out, we can deliver 25 new topics for your blog for 25 dollars.
