1. Scribble Ideas On Paper : Short notes can be a great help whenever you are clicked with an idea. I do it a lot. While reading stuff all around the web I generally find some cool post ideas and i immediately write it down on a piece of paper. Not the whole post, but the title. Like for example – 10 Drawbacks for naming a city to Google this idea came to me when i was surfing this story elsewhere on web.
2. Don’t Get Disturb While Writing : I have a good social network. Facebook, Twitter and Google buzz are my favorite time passers. Keep them aside while writing. Log out from every notification, messengers and things that create confusion or mistake, just concentrate on writing. It will not only improve your writing skills but it can also help you do things properly. Its human to make a mistake, but if you rectify it timely it can improve you for better.
3. Regular posting is good, but overdoing it can harm : I follow a mantra of one post a day. I have total of four blogs and all have different niche, I make one post per day on one blog. Not because i can’t write multiple posts in a day. But i think its not worth for me. For fresh ideas there should be thinking time. But for starters who don’t have too much experience I think one post is enough. Keep your quality high. Content is the king and quality of content is essential.
4. Expand your Niche : Expanding your niche can help you in fresh ideas in a post. If you cannot find ideas for your next post, maybe its due to your narrow niche. I know many of you may not agree, but I feel thinking on a particular topic everyday is very boring. Although I started this blog as a Technology Blog, but I cannot write on Technology Articles everyday. Its better to accept things. So I Expanded the topics or categories to Design, Software, Internet tips, and Blogging etc.
5. Keep your content clear : Use (headings, sub-headings, bullet points etc) it will keep your readers more engaging and people can scan out quickly. I actually don’t like reading long posts myself and I try to read the heading, points and sometimes few first lines to get an essence of what is been written. But I do bookmark posts of fellow bloggers when I generally like them, and I read them later for sure.
6. Don’t stop Reading others : Reading can improve your blogging and you can actually reach on a higher level due to reading habits. Reading newspapers (offline or online ), books, novels etc can make your writing skills improve a lot.
7. Try to think in a list : List posts works great. I have many list posts on this blog. I try to keep them short, more informative and keeping myself clear. There was a time when every other post on Digg was a list post. Still list posts are attractive and they can bring traffic. Thinking in a list can improve your blogging a lot.
That’s it for today. I hope you have enjoyed the post and I will be keeping eye on your comments.
Great suggestions here! I am beginning to scribble ideas down as they come to me. This has been extremely helpful!

Front loading your gist or idea in a content works many times. It helps the reader get an insight on what really the author is talking about & author can talk about the whys & hows for the next passage.

simply all points are true
These are good tips. One of the most difficult aspects of blogging is having the discipline to write out a blog post on a regular basis. One way to get around this is to have a blog where you can write about whatever you want like a personal blog. This will help you get in the habit of writing frequently and often posts that started out as just a small idea can turn into a longer article, which you can use as on your primary blog.
really useful post spcially over posting is like killing your blog and diluting your brand. Like the ideas of 1 post a day, I maintain 3 posts a day. 2 from Guest author and 1 from me

Wow. I was introduced to your blog by another great blogger Jason Better. At first I wasn’t going to click but I am so glad I did.
These are some great tips. I use some myself so it’s kinda cool knowing I am on the right path.
The tip that has jumped out at me is about expanding my niche. I have been thinking that blogging about the same thing can get monotonous. I will definitely be looking into spreading out my topics a bit.
Thanks

Hey there! Someone in my Myspace group shared this site with us so I came to check it out. I’m definitely enjoying the information. I’m bookmarking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Excellent blog and wonderful design and style.
I have really learned newer and more effective things from a blog post. Also a thing to I have found is that in many instances, FSBO sellers can reject a person. Remember, they’d prefer not to ever use your services. But if an individual maintain a steady, professional partnership, offering guide and remaining in contact for about four to five weeks, you will usually be able to win interviews. From there, a listing follows. Thanks a lot
Do you think that blogging on various different topics should be avoided?
actually its the best thing to do .. according to me it, i can’t always write about technology or gadgets, or softwares or anything else .. in practical sense you will get bored one day.. so keep your eyes open to new ideas and keep writing things you come across .. even if its random .. who knows while writing on new topic ..can arise a new blog or topic with interest ..
fixed niche blogging has both merits and demerits. it can be combined with other related niches to expand .
