Ask An Ambassador: Blogging Tap Running Dry?

Hello Bill (and Liz too) - blogging drought is very real.  As you express, searching your personal AR archives can lead to inspiration as can comments left in those posts.   In reality, all sorts of ideas are "out there" and ripe for picking.  Never easy but the bounty can be found.  Deep digging and reaching higher helps.  

Good points Bill! There are many days when my mind says “I have nothing”. I do go to photos, read the news, look at old posts, even quotes! This often helps 

I can always depend on you Bill, to put out a great post like this one. Thank you so much for sharing my friend 🙂

Hi Liz and Bill. To open up the blog tap... "Baby the Rain Must Fall", the AR rain that is, but Glenn Yarbrough's version is great also.

I have to admit to being in a bit of a drought. We have to care enough to come up with ideas, and sometimes it's just like, 'ehhhh'. I'm in an 'ehhhh' period. Hopefully soon I'll snap out of it!

Hi BIll:

I suspect it happens to each of us at one time or another when the blogging idea well seems to run dry. This is a great list of potential ideas, any of which could generate other ideas, too! And depending on your target audience it doesn't HAVE to be real estate related!

I know it has happened to me but lately I've missed several days because of moving my address... now I have the opposite problem as I had a lot of ideas stored up.

Good morning Bill,

With all the ideas you described certainly something should have sparked someone's interest who is suffering from blogging drought!!

Hi Bill,
I know some people do get bloggers block but I never did.

I don't blog regularly these days, but I never actually ran out of ideas. When I was blogging daily, the thing I found to make it easier to choose a topic was to have a theme for each day of the week. It also helped me batch write and I'd schedule posts to be published on the appropriate day. That way I didn't actually have to write every day if I had other stuff going on.

There is a lot of inspiration in this post. Should tide me over when I have a blogging drought! 

Liz and Bill Spear  You are right but there are times my fingers just do not want to do the walking and my mind well in a brick - then suddenly something opens up - I think it may be writers block 

Hi Bliz I don't recall be 'BTO" #blogtappedout!!  There are so many, many things to write about. I'm not blogging on a regular basis anymore but both Gary and i will stop and say - wow that would make a great blog topic! 

Hi Liz and Bill - those are some good staring point for agents.  I look in news and publications for some of my ideas.

there is an unlimited array of topics for blogging...heck we can blog about blogging!!! 

Go with the flow and the creative juices will come.  Each month gives us an opportunity to restart and get better than last month.  

Bill,  How did you know I have been sitting here with blogging block?  

Thank you for all of the great tips.  It can be a challenge to keep coming up with great content.

Oh, I'm at one of those periods, Bill! Great tips - maybe I'll go spiff up an old one and make it more current. Thanks for the push!

Thank you for posting this information and ENCOURAGEMENT!  I needed this!
