One of the biggest problems that a blogger face is in updating the blog with fresh new material regularly.It won't be that difficult for personal blogs since anything can be written to be added to the blog,but what about niche blogs,something like mine.
I do find it difficult to write and update my blog regularly when I first start blogging,but I hope with this method that I use now,it can help me overcome it and maybe you can use it too if you find it helpful.

- Emails/Newsletter.I'm sure most of you do subscribe to some kind of newsletter.I subscribe to maybe 3 or 4 newsletter,mostly about blogging,so I find that some of the articles very interesting and have very valuable lesson.I will take some point that I find interesting or important,and I will write something new out of it,something from my own perspective and view.Even emails from friends or blogging members can be used to create an article for my blog post,as long as I can relate it to blogging.
- Feeds.I subscribe to 4 or 5 feeds from blogging blogs and you will get new ideas just from reading what they wrote in their blog.You MUST not copy the whole article,but you can write about the topic with your own view and maybe adding something that you know that was not in their articles.
- Comments.Sometimes I receive comments from someone who ask about my previous article or disagreeing with it and I will use this to write a whole new post about it,rather that replying it through the comment section.This way it can be shared with a lot of other readers instead of just some who might be looking at the comments.
- Forums.I always say that it is important to join forums,not only to expose your blog,but you can find a lot of interesting new things and a lot of question being asked about blogging in it,from this,I get a lot of ideas on what to write on my blog.There are also things about template,making money,sports,poem and almost everything there is in forums because forum members have a blog about a lot of different things and topics.You might find something interesting about your niche somewhere in the forums thread.
- Archive.When I have no where else to go to,I look back at my older post,but instead of re-posting it,I wrote it back with a new perspective,adding new views and input.
- Other blogs.Other than reading my mails and feeds,I visited a few other blogs everyday,some from my niche,some just random blogs,but I can always find some thing that I can write while doing this,maybe by reading their post or maybe just by looking at how they presented their blogs.
- Books/Internet.I love to read and I still have a few books that I haven't finish reading,mostly about Internet Marketing,Blogging and SEO and I'm sure I can find some interesting topic when I'm done reading it,but I always look for something new to add to my reading material and the best way is by doing search for free ebooks on those 3 topics so I know I won't run out of things to read.
- Notebook.I have wrote before on why you must always bring a notebook and pen where ever you go,because it will come in handy when you suddenly have an idea about what to post to your blog.My last 5 post is from the points that I write in my notebook,I just have to elaborate when I do my post,nice isn't it?
It is not a guarantee that you will not face anymore problems when you want to make a post,but I'm sure it will help a lot,especially when you want to take a leave for a holiday,vacation.You don't have to leave your blog without any new post for that period because you can schedule it and by having points to write in your notebook and from a lot of resources,you can easily make 5 to 6 schedule post while you enjoy your holiday or vacation.I sometimes schedule 1 to 2 post so that I can do something else without having to worry about not making a post.
