Have you ever sat down ready to write a post or two and not had any inspiration as to what to write about? Possibly even got up an hour later with nothing written? Take some inspiration from here!

Your Traffic Logs
If you haven’t done so recently, then the look through your traffic logs and look to at the search terms that people are searching on to find your blog. Sometimes these will match previous post titles, frequently they will not.

Go through the list and for every search term that can either be used directly as a title or just changed slightly to make a title, open a new post, give it the title and save it as a draft. I like to insert a hyphen in front of the name so that I can see those drafts that are waiting to be written and those that have been written.

I also do this weekly, looking back over the last week’s traffic. If you haven’t done it ever, then look back as far as you can. On a good week I can create 20 new titles and these are based around search terms, so you are helping your search engine optimisation as well.

Your Popular Posts
Look at which posts are getting the most traffic. Were they written a while ago? Could you rewrite them with a slightly different slant and a little tweak to the title? Doing so will generate a few more titles.

Give A Post A Different Feel
You can also completely turn around how you have written popular (and not so popular) posts in the past. If it was a discussion post, could it be rewritten as a list of Frequently Asked Questions, a Pros and Cons post or just a simple refresher article with a few bullet point lists?

Bring Together Your Best Work
I tried this one in the week and my traffic increased overnight – not because I was getting more visitors, just because the visitors that I was receiving were spending more time on my blog. And it is very simple to do.

Just look for a few of your most popular posts and choose several along a theme. Maybe add some not so popular posts as well. Maybe pick 5 – 10 posts, depending on how you feel. Then write a post that just briefly brings these all together and links to the individual posts. I gave a summary of the post name as a title then a paragraph about the post. This was easy as it was on a home working blog and I just picked 7 of the best ideas I had posted about and wrote an introduction on each one.

Look At Google
Go to the Google keyword selector tool, type in a search word or two that is relevant to your blog and look at the results that come back. Making some of these into article titles is usually very easy to do.
