How to brainstorm for a blog



First, think about what interests you, what questions you may have, and what makes you wonder. Chances are that others have the same thoughts, too. Topics that even brush your curiosity can be used and developed into something more that you may have never considered.

Also, take inspiration from other users and websites. I wrote about a lot of iPhone apps already on here that I discovered. I took that and formed it into an idea of critiquing free interview apps to best prepare a candidate. Also, Yahoo has a lot of articles from not only their bloggers but other ones across the internet as well and news sites. As you can tell, I get a lot from Yahoo. Read them, share them, and comment on them.

Link different ideas to find something new. After reviewing interview apps, I'd thought it'd be best to review blogging websites to find which would be the best for a professional approach (I'm in the process of it as we speak). Reviews are beneficial for everyone to help them decide what it is they want to use. Lists are always fun, too, so making a "Top # of your favorite -whatever-" is interesting and a way to better get to know you. Remember, always think of the reader because that's who you're writing for.
