5 Easiest Ways to Keep Your Blog Up
Falling in short of content is one of the main reasons why most bloggers fail to regularly update their blog. Failure of updating blog regularly immediately results lose of readers’ subscription. Here’s 5 easy ways that you should follow in order to keep your blog up and avoid being thrown away by the readers.
Need idea for your next post? It's not that hard to keep your blog up as long as the niche chosen is of your interest.
Look For Updates
Depending on your niche, you should always look for updates on similar websites or blogs around. For example, if you cover latest iPhone technology news on your blog, you must keep an eye of what’s happening on the iPhone world. Don’t miss out the newspaper, news websites, news blogs and relevant blogs (neighbor blogs around).
Explore Your Archive
Take your time and go through your previous archive. Believe me, it will make you come up with some brand new ideas. For example, if you had written a post about how to install XP without any professional’s help, after exploring your archive, you might be interested to write another post about how to install Mac OS X.
Read Older Comments
Comments are a great way to help you come up with a brand new idea. If your blog is old enough, and has a decent amount of content, you may have already forgot what comments you’ve received in your blog. Reading older comments on older posts will help you generate new ideas for the next post of your blog.
Ask Yourself, Ask Google
At this point, you need to be a nobody. Well, I mean, you need to forget that you’re the writer of the blog. You have to change your perspective and think like a reader.Try to find out if you have any question or problem about the topic your blog covers. If you take longer time than usual, you will definitely find out something that you too need to know about. None is all-knowing; that’s how I guarantee it.
Once you’ve got your question, simply shoot it on Google (or any other search engine you prefer). Find the answers, and try to solve your problem following the solutions you find on Google, or probably on Yahoo Answers. If it works, you may be interested to write a complete article on what was your problem and how you managed yourself to solve out the situation.
Go Off-topic
Off-topic is a great topic to write about! In my opinion, blogs on each and every niche should have some posts off-topic. This helps you keep your blog up, as well as represent you to your audience as a person so that they may find you more interesting and may want to interact with you, which is obviously good for a blogger-reader relationship.

Start a blog right away! Already have one? Then make it popular!
If blogging and making money with it has been a long cherished dream of you, and if you believe you have time, patience and a topic of interest to blog about, it's time to kick off your first blog with a perfect domain and reliable hosting. If you already have a blog, make sure you have an outstanding premium theme if you run WordPress. Only content may not bring success; creativity and design matter a lot.
If you're looking for a theme with top quality design and custom options that take no time to change your blog into whatever you like, the best would be WooThemes. If your budget is low, try ThemeForest for great quality WordPress themes at an affordable rate.
On the other hand, if you are more focused and serious in blogging, you should go with some framework. Highly suggested framework is Genesis which is recommended by top class bloggers including Chris Brogan. Headway is another alternative at an affordable price. If you have time to spend for blog development and willing to make it extremely customized, Thesis by DIY themes is also in the list.

If you need someone to hand over all the technical stuffs and want to pay attention to content creation only, I'm always at your service. Hit here to find out the services I offer.
Nice ideas. I also feel that irregularity in Blog updating cause visitor lowdown. I regularly check some blogs that i love and sometimes i found some blogs un-updated for long time & once i forget about them.
Same thing could be happen for our own blog.
Thumbs up for nice post.
Thank you very much for your comment.

The third one which i like it because every time i also think how visitor will face. We can also get some ideas by visiting some of the web like yahooanswers and some other forums. These things will make the blog to updates continuously.
Yahoo Answers is a great resource to generate some ideas from.
I definitely think that subscribing to and reading content outside of your niche is an excellent way to stimulate post ideas. One of the other things I like to do is read through the comments on other blogs to find inspiration amongst the different commentators (questions asked, ideas shared); you know, thoughts to expand on and things that I can potentially write about.
Hi Ricardo! Welcome to my blog. I do agree with you. In fact, that's what I do. I explore other blogs, scan the comments, post my opinion to join the conversation, and steal ideas whichsoever interests me and suits my topic.
Thanks for commenting. You're welcome to read and comment on all future posts as well.
Agreed, Ricardo. I peruse comments people leave on my blog over time and comments people leave on other people's comments.
Thanks for your comment, Ari. Readers are a wonderful source to take
ideas from when they comment.
I hope you will be reading and commenting more on this blog.
I try to do all of those as much as I can, it really helps. Thanks for the great advice Aminul!
If news blog, looking for updates on the relevant topic, reading readers' comments, asking Google for newer ideas, and going completely off-topic are the best ways that help me write more.
Thank you for your time on my blog.
I appreciate it.
These are all great ideas for keeping up with new posts that are over looked. Great stuff here. Everything kinda ties into another when you think about it.
