Being a professional blogger is not easy. You will have to think about new blog post every day.\u00a0Sometimes, you will struggle to get new ideas. You will be frustrated, depressed and think of quitting as a blogger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you take any major decision<\/span>, go through the below top five places from which you can get new topics for your blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to get new blog post ideas?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Use RSS reader:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Feedly<\/a> and QuiteRSS<\/a> are my favorite applications<\/span>. Feedly is a web-based tool whereas QuiteRSS is a standalone desktop software for Windows OS<\/span>. I switch between the two RSS readers whenever I am bored with one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have subscribed to content<\/span> published<\/span> on top blogs and news websites. Whenever I find a new news which suits my website<\/span>, I try to search for some more news on the company which has launched the product. Subscribing to a news feed is easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RSS readers are much better than the Facebook<\/span> news feed. Use them to get blog post ideas. Social networking sites are distracting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go through forums<\/span>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are publishing<\/span> how-to articles<\/span> on your blog, the forums<\/span> are the best places to find new blog post ideas. People use forums<\/span> to get answers to your question. If you know the answer<\/span> to one of the most frequently asked question, write a blog post on it. If you find a question which has never been answered before, try to find an answer<\/span> for it. Once you find the answer<\/span>, jot down the answer<\/span> as a new post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the most popular websites<\/span> to engage in discussion are Quora<\/a>, Yahoo Answers<\/a>, Reddit<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check press releases<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most companies have set up a press<\/span> release page on their site. On this webpage, you will find news about the firm and their new product launches. For example, If Samsung has introduced a new HDD, it will update its press<\/span> release page with the details on the new product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join Newsletters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You will find beautiful opt-in forms<\/a> embedded in the sidebar of your favorite websites<\/span>. If you are a blogger who writes an article<\/span> once in two or three days, join the newsletter of top websites<\/span>. When you are ready to publish<\/span> a new post on your site, check the newsletters<\/a> for getting ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check\u00a0trending topics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Trending topics are the ones which people are discussing. Google<\/span> search allow you to explore the trending topics. Twitter has a trending topics section where you can check the hottest news stories. If you find a new story, write a blog post on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong>: You will not struggle in getting new post ideas if you use the methods we have mentioned above. The internet<\/span> gives you the access<\/span> to millions of websites<\/span>. You must explore the right website<\/span> to find topics for writing a blog post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
