Here Are Quick Ways To Make Blogging Easier
by Hope Wilbanks

Let’s face it…blogging can become a burden sometimes. You’re busy running a business and sometimes you just run out of things to say. Right? Well, I have some great ideas for you. These ideas will help make writing blog posts a lot easier and quicker for you. Here they are:

Subscribe to RSS feeds. Believe it or not, you can some great ideas from reading RSS feeds regularly. This is a good way to stay updated on current events and what’s going on in other parts of the world. Subscribe to feeds within your niche and you’ll never be empty-handed for ideas.
Blog about the latest news. This is a really good way to write a blog post that will generate comments. You can pull snippets of news stories from the web and use them as inspiration for new blog entries. Write your thoughts on the news item, and how it relates to you and your customers/clients.
Write a review. There are endless reviews you can write: books, movies, music, websites, magazines, etc. The ideas are endless. You can really write a review on just about anything.
Write several blog entries at one time. If you find yourself pressed for time when it comes to blogging, why not write several entries all at once? Then you can set them up to be published at a later date.
Turn one long blog post into a 2- or 3-part series. If you find yourself getting long-winded about a certain topic, cut your post in half, or third, and set up a series of posts. This is a great way to build suspense and keep your readers coming back for more, too!
Use quotes to spark ideas. I love quotes. When I get stuck, I like to pull out a quote and write about it. You can do the same. Write about how it relates to your current life. Write about that person, and the history behind the quote.
