That is why I have put together a list of 5 easy ways to find blog content. All it requires is a bit of research on your end and you should have plenty of content ideas.

5 Great Ways To Find Blog Content
1) Google Search:
One way to find new content ideas is through a simple Google Search with what I like to call the alphabet soup technique. When you search, Google recommends high volume search terms. Type in some niche keywords and start typing through the alphabet to see what Google suggest you write about. You can see my examples below!
Continue this technique through the alphabet and I guarantee you will find some ideas for content!
2) Find Your Competitors:
Find competitors or other websites that focus on the same niche as you. Look through their content and see what ideas you can write about. Don’t steal their content, but there is nothing wrong with getting some writing ideas from them!
3) Yahoo Answers:
This is probably my favorite. If you want your website to be successful you have to look to help people. Of course if you want to help people you need to know what kind of questions they need help with. Yahoo answers is a great way to find out. Search for related niche keywords and see what types of questions people are asking!
4) Related Forums:
This goes hand in hand with Yahoo answers. Search forums that relate to your niche for questions and conversations. You can even go as far as posting to the forum and asking people for ideas for your site. It will kill 2 birds with one stone, you get content ideas and free exposure for your website!
5) Social Media Sites:
When you started your social network sites you probably added people related to your niche to start building your network. If you did this is great because you have people handing you content ideas on your news feeds all day long! Take a look at what related accounts are posting and see if those ideas will work for you. If you have a good following on your networks you can even ask what people want to see on your site. This will be a great way to get some content ideas and connect with your customers.
