Overcoming Writer's Block

After choosing a subject to start a blog or website about, there are going to be times that you are going to get writer's block.  Especially since you should be writing new content at least 3 - 4 times a week.  Seems like there's only so much you can write about right?

Well alot of times its just about inspiration! Whether you get inspiration from other people, other websites, or by signing up for google alerts, it can still get difficult. 

A great way to get some daily inspiration is by signing up for free software like Zemanta Ltd.  Downloading this software is like downloading your "blogging assistant."  Not only do they help you with content, they also help you with your Search Engine Optimization! yay!

Zemanta is a tool that looks over your shoulder while you blog and gives you tips and advice, suggests related content and pictures and makes sure your posts get promoted as they deserve to be

 

Their job is to make Blogging easy for you by:

Offering photos and articles based on what you are writing about.  After downloading the software a little box will pop up on the size of your new posts and while you write, they will pick up on your keywords and provide you with informational articles and photos. 

However, good writing is original so you have to figure out how to read something and then put into your own words and your own perspective.  If you are still having trouble with that aspect of your writing try watching a DVD like this one:
