It is assumed that you have a blog and you post articles that you have written. How do you improve your writing and continue to write without running out of ideas? Here are some suggestions:


1. Write daily: Cultivate the habit of writing every day so that you are always ready to write at the same time and place. When you write daily you can also post daily. When you post daily you attract more readers to your site. One important advantage is that quantity develops into quality. Even on the day, you can’t write you still sit down and write something.

2. Read widely: Read newspaper headlines and articles in magazines to get inspiration for your next article. You can get more ideas if you know more than one language.

3. Keep a notebook: This is to record ideas that have occurred to you from time to time. Look at it when you need ideas for the next article. You also jot down useful words and phrases to be used in your future articles. You will remember the words even without looking at them because you have taken the trouble to write them down to reinforce your memory

4. Maintain a journal; A journal is to record your feelings and important events in your daily life. The habit of writing a journal complements your article writing habit.

5. File: Keep useful articles relating to writing tips so that you are always guided by the golden rules. You are also alerted to mistakes to avoid.

6. Titles: When a title from a book or an article catches your attention you know the title has created an impact. Study these titles and come up with your own catchy article titles.

7. Popular posts of niche sites: Read their popular articles and examine why the articles are attractive to readers. Can you do the same to attract readers to your site?

8. Your own popular posts: Look into your own posts and identify your successful articles and do mo more of the same.

9. The most effective article writing idea:
StumbleUpon

When you face a writer’s block what do you do? This is the best way to do and it will guarantee you that you will never run out of ideas. Go to your StumbleUpon Toolbar click “ALL” and you will see a list of topics and you click on your niche subject. By the way, my niche is “self-improvement”. Next, you click on “Stumble” on the left. Bingo! You will see many articles recommended by readers for readers. One or more of the articles will surely give you the inspiration and ideas to write your future articles.

10. Use a dictionary: A dictionary is more than finding the meaning of words. You can use a dictionary to enrich your writing. As an example you look up one word, you can find other words with the same meaning. Pick and choose the right word or words to suit your article.


Wine is aged to mellow. Writing quality articles is also for the long term. The more and the longer you write the better will be your writing. Your articles will be more mature, punchier, and more captivating.
