Out of Blog Topics? Try This!

02/16/14 | blogging

This post really does not need much of an introduction or a description.  My coworker, who writes a blog, Inside a Copywriters Head, emailed me a few weeks ago:  “Have you seen this? Kind of cool: http://bit.ly/1hOhY0D“.  Um, kind of cool?  Try freaking awesome!  I had fun typing in a ton of variety of different keyword and seeing what it spit out.  
There are so many bloggers I know who write posts about what to write about when you are out of  ideas.  Honestly, I have so many popping into my head, that I make sure write down before they leave, I do not think I have ever had under 60 drafts but for those of you who do run out of topics – I love this! 
HubSpot Blog Post Generator - Home
HubSpot Blog Post Generator - Query
HubSpot Blog Post Generator - Sparkles, Shoes, NYC
How cool is that?

This is not actually something I need – I had 92  draft posts as I began writing this and BEFORE I read Nadine’s great post on how to get more blog post ideas. Now I am up to almost 100.  This number always surprises people – my mom always asks how I think of things to write about since I have already published nearly 500 digital entries.  The answer is – this is my creative outlet, I write about what I want, when I want and I write down every idea that pops into my head – even if I do have to scratch it later!

If you are blogger, how do you come up with ideas for posts?

    Well this is a fantastic tool. Now I just want to play around with it all afternoon. Thanks!

    Yes!!! I have a never ending list on my notepad on my phone for blog posts because ideas come to me at the most random moments! My husband wonders how I come up with so much, but honestly I think everything I do, find funny, hear someone say, I say to myself, ” oh my goodness, blog post!”

    Well, I thought I’d plug Eva Marie Taylor as my 3 nouns since that is my blog name just to see what it’d come up with. Let’s just say it didn’t work 🙂 the first one was Think You’re Cut Out For Doing Eva? Inappropriate hubspot, inappropriate. 😉 there was 7 Things About Taylor Your Boss Wants to Know. A little better…but I’ll have to think of some other nouns to plug in there! That’s crazy you have 100 drafts. I get excited to have 10!! I do jot notes on my iPhone notes tab when I think of the slightest idea and try to develop it later. Like my post today was something that I jotted down a month ago.

    That’s AWESOME! I would love to have as many drafts and scheduled posts as you! Since I don’t, this could be a super fun way to get past my writer’s block. 🙂

    I have certain topics, which I write about… still, this is neat if you want to try out something every now & then! 🙂

    Normally I just kind of write what has been going on in my mind. I am a pretty random person so it takes a while before I am out of ideas, but it does happen! I am going to have to remember this tool!

    This really is a wonderful idea! So far I’ve been lucky not to struggle with the writer’s block (well, maybe once or twice…), but it’s good to know about this little gem. Thank you for sharing! x
