These are good places to get ideas for blog posts, but you got to remember to be unique. You should use these to spark your ideas, not create them. Good post, I often times get ideas for posts while looking through some of these places.

Yeah! exactly, you are right! Thanks a lot for the nice comment.
I believe when you need a dictionary to read the first paragraph of a blog post, you really wouldn’t want to continue, especially when you’re in a rush.
What I like to do is put on some music and just sit outside brainstorming.
I’ll take a topic I know I generally want to talk about and then start branching it out, essentially mind mapping but without writing anything down yet.
I take into consideration what I would like to read and what people generally ask me every day. From there, I start dividing out each subject into a specific topic.
I love breaking down a post and dividing them out.
It’s not that you’re giving them less content but instead you’re now laser focusing your information related to a specific point. With this point in mind, you’ll be able to expand on it instead of trying to cover everything.
It’s much like looking at the chapters of a book. Each chapter has it’s own subject. You can use this mindset to branch a single idea into 10 posts and 10 posts into 100.
