Maybe you even feel like you’re covering the same topic you covered last week, just in different ways. But then again, you don’t know how to make it better, either, so you just keep doing what you’re doing, unconfident that you’re providing your audience with new and exciting content each and every week. But there are ways to figure out how to come up with new topics that people will enjoy, and here are two of them.

Find Some Blogs in Your Niche

By no means does this tip mean that you should steal content from anyone, but it does mean that when you’re out of inspiration, you might just be able to come up with some inspiration by using other people’s ideas. Compile a list and a bookmark folder of anywhere from ten to fifteen blogs. Read those blogs every day or so, and see if they have any new topics that can help you find your way to fresh topics.

Brainstorm as a Group

Even if you are the only blog writer, that doesn’t mean you’re the only person on your team who knows how to write, or the only person with good ideas. Plus, do you know how many circles you have to ask? You can ask people in forums online, and you can ask people offline as well. Maybe you have some blogger friends that could have some good tips for you, too, especially if their blogs are successful in your niche.
