ProBlogger recently published an article asking how we come up with stories for our blogs. Creating an open mike for comments and information.
I’m interested to hear from bloggers of all varieties (news bloggers, tips bloggers, business bloggers etc).
* Where do the ideas from your stories come?
* What tools do you use to find them?
* What blogs/sites/offline sources do you use to track them?
* How do you work out which stories to write about and which to leave out?
The comments left so far are wonderful ideas and information. So I thought I would jot my methods down.
I generally use my own experiences, be it remembering a company I worked for and doing some more research on that business as a work from home career; to even brainstorming while I am driving. Seeing a cool product or site and expanding on it. I also get alot of ideas from reading other blogs and sites, sometimes it only takes a paragraph about one subject and it reminds me of another. Right now this blog is only a few months old, so I am no where near out of ‘ideas’ sometimes I have a hard time not posting some things and saving them for later. I am sure however, that when this blog is years old, finding a subject that isn’t repetitive will be a task.
So how do you come up with stories? Leave a comment here and then jump over to the ProBlogger site and read and comment there.
