Must-Have Blogging Tools
I have an idea for you, it’s about blog ideas. There are a couple of simple things I believe are necessary and useful for every blogger. You won’t have to break the bank to add these tools to your blog arsenal. You might already have them handy.
I think that a lot of blogging is about ideas. You have to have ideas, and hopefully lots of them, to come up with things to write about in your blog. The more ideas you have, then the more you can write and create good content and information for your readers.
You have to have your blog on your mind most of the time. Maybe not always on the front burner, but back there on your mind’s back burner you should always have some blogging ideas simmering. Be ready when these blog ideas and thoughts boil up.
ONCE YOU HAVE A BLOG IDEA – YOU MUST REMEMBER IT!
If you have a mind like a steel trap and never forget anything at all, then you are all set. You’ll remember every idea or thought about your blog that comes to mind. All you need to do is sit down at your computer and start plinking away on the keyboard.
However, if you are like me, then sometimes your blogging ideas and thoughts get lost in the general mind clutter of daily living. You are fixing a cup of tea when a great idea for a post comes to mind, but by the time you’ve answered the phone and had a conversation with Auntie Sally Ann about her new kitty cat, that idea has flown the coop and your cup of tea is now cold. There is a solution for this loss of blog ideas and thoughts problem.
Invest in a couple of simple, low-tech devices that will allow you to capture each and every precious blog idea and thought you have.
My 4.5"x3.25" Blog Idea Notebook and Golf Pencil  |
A Blog Idea NotebookBuy yourself a small notebook that will fit comfortably in your pocket or purse and carry it with you all the time. Use a small pen, pencil, or marker that also fits easily into your pocket or purse to jot down your ideas and thoughts while they are fresh in your mind. This works. I always have a small notebook and a golf scoring pencil handy in my pocket. I jot down anything and everything that happens to come to mind about my various blogs. If a small notebook is not right for you, then fold up a piece of paper and carry it in your pocket or purse. |
Use Your Blog Idea Notebook!
Review the ideas and notes about your blog you have jotted down and decide what you want to do with them. Some ideas or notes you will want to take action on, others you may want to forget about. Invent your own custom shorthand to make keeping notes easier. Keep your blog idea notebook on your nightstand so when you have a great idea at night you can save it. Jot down ideas, lists, and things to do. Use a different colored pen, pencil, or marker to highlight your good ideas and thoughts. Separate the good from the bad.
Write your name and contact information on the inside of the cover. This blog idea notebook is valuable and the content it contains is important. Make sure someone can return it to you if you ever lose it.
A Forgotten Good Idea Is Worthless
Preserve your blogging ideas and thoughts by using a simple notebook to record your blogging ideas and thoughts when they come to you. Be prepared and carry it with you all the time.
A Blog Idea Notebook is so simple, but it works so well.
