Where do you find inspiration for your blog posts? Two people commented to my first post on this topic. Denise says she uses Google Alerts services, whereby she is sign up to get alerts of web content for certain key words. That is a great way to find out what other people are writing about.

Casey Dawes, of Wise Woman Shining, says she wakes up with ideas on how to make the world a better place. Bravo, Casey, that must make for some interesting dreams! Your blog makes for good reading, too.

But let’s say you have set a schedule for yourself. Every Tuesday you must post something on one of your blogs. You wake up with a foggy brain, feeling below level zero in inspiration and creativity. What do you do?

Email inbox is waiting for you, but you say, "NO!" to email, just so you can get something, anything, posted on that blog. Where do you go… I mean besides to the coffee pot, that’s a given…when the juices are dry and you know you must post if you are to keep a regular schedule? Do you wait for inspiration, change your writing schedule to fit your mood, or go onto the web for inspiration?

I want to know! I know what I do, and I also know what works for me. But what works, really works for you? Inquiring minds and uninspired writers await your input…

"I want to start a blog, but what if I get stuck: what will I write about?"

The Blog Squad hears this question frequently. Since we recommend posting blog content at least 2-3 times a week, it’s a valid concern.

I’ve noticed a void in the blogosphere informational library… not many people are writing about how to write for your blog. So in the next few weeks I am going to document my own blog writing processes. I want to lay it out for you, every tip i can think of to create good copy for your blog.

Please contribute your own ideas and tips. Just hit the comment link and get this conversation going. Here’s my first tip for writing great business blog posts:

1. Start with what’s inside of you, what’s going on for you in your own work processes, or with your clients. Tie it in to what your readers want to learn. Be real. Have fun.

For example, it’s 6 a.m. here in Ajijic, Mexico. I’m sleepy, but need to get a post on this blog. First thing I do in the mornings is access my default Internet page, my My Yahoo web page. I’ve added my favorite blogs to that page, so I can keep up with what other people are writing about.

Not finding anything that inspired me for my own post, I then asked myself, "What is going on in my business that I could share with readers that might help them in their own work?"
