Generating content ideas for your blog or forum?

[Nomad]

Your blog needs fresh articles and your forums need fresh topics. While your users will constantly create new topics on your forums, sometimes you have to come up with new topics that are not usually covered by your users. Likewise, in your blog, you will have to frequently publish new articles. So, how do you generate content ideas for your blog or forum? How do you find topics for your blog post and forum posts?

I'm constantly posting to my blogs on a daily basis. I even have weeks of content scheduled to go live on my blogs. Breaking news stuff goes up ASAP, as it happens. But other blog posts I schedule weeks of days in advance. Saves a lot of time if you can crank out interesting articles and have them scheduled so you can just sit back later and wait.

For Blog posts, delving into other similar blogs to see what they are doing is the basic thing to do. You need to understand the plans that they have and see how you can work towards them as well. It is never easy, but it is not impossible to get new ideas by going through that method to get new ideas foe your blog.

How do you manage to write posts to be published every day? Are your posts short,or long? Generally speaking, I try to publish 1-2 articles every month on my blogs and I alwasy try to publish articles that are at least 100 words long. Some of my articles are over 2000 words

Pay attention to the questions people ask, the problems they face, and the trends you see around you.
For example, if you're in a Facebook group and someone asks a question that sparks your interest, that could be a great topic for a promte blog post. Or if you notice a particular trend or challenge in your industry, you could write a post addressing that issue.
Another idea is to look at what's already popular on your blog or forum. See which posts are getting the most engagement or comments, and consider expanding on those topics or taking a different angle.
And don't forget to check out what's trending on social media and in the news.
