I know, I know. One of my rules of my write every day for a week experiment was that I wouldn’t talk about having trouble finding inspiration for writing every day (which, to be honest is not as bad as I thought it would be). But after seeing the below video by ProBlogger writer Darren Rowse I couldn’t resist.

It’s an interesting way of generating ideas. Of course his examples are more business related and is probably not something you would do for a personal blog. Unless of course your personal blog is more in relation to a personal brand you want to build. Then it’s a different matter. But when it comes to generating ideas for writing for your established readership or the type of readers you want to attract this will work like a charm. And let’s be honest, generating 6000 ideas for a blog is 20 years of daily postings.

The downside of course is that you already have to have a fair amount of readers. Not only that, they should be the type of readers that take action and are willing to fill in a survey. So having an established blog helps in this case. If you have a readership of 5 this wouldn’t be the way to go.

What I found is that the people that have exceptional blogs (like the one Darren has) have a knack of coming up with a proces that generates ideas. Combine that with their ability to write in an engaging way that pleases readers and you have a winning combination.
