How I Create Ideas For My Blogs?

Ideas are the most valuable thing to me right now. Within minutes of publishing a blog on any topic, I start thinking about the next. I was just a guy with no ideas during these 4 days. I wrote anything that came to mind for half an hour every day. But I spent most of the time drawing and designing my name. While I was walking around in my house today, I saw a tube of toothpaste almost finished and the first thought that came to my mind was “It’s never fully empty, we just stop pushing it too hard and throw it away.” And that’s where the idea of this blog was born. A guy with 0 ideas is a guy with an idea. I will tell you a couple of tricks I use to boost the thinking process and have great ideas for your blogs in less time.

Everything Is An Idea

Everything around you is throwing ideas at you, you’re not just catching it right now. A toothpaste, a glass of water, and even an advertisement can bring ideas for you. An empty toothpaste is never empty and an empty brain is never empty. It’s always full of thoughts, you just need to connect those dots the right way and that’s how an idea is born.

For my “How to Sell Anything?” series, I commented on my selling strategy for a calculator under the comment section of a post and that’s how I got my idea. A toothpaste did the work for me for this blog. Look around you, a chirping bird, a glass of water, falling leaves, etc. They all reflect something at some point and it’s upon you to mold them into an idea. I can’t connect the dots for you but what I can do is tell you where to start from. Charity Begins at Home — I hope you understood what I meant by this. ;)

0 Ideas? Here’s an Idea!

Whenever I am inside the 0 ideas loop, I take a step outside this vicious circle and let myself enjoy this beautiful journey of getting an idea. I always admire uniqueness and I try my best to write with metaphors and creativity. For example, to promote my blogs on Instagram, I started making reels. Now that I had publicized it more, I had to work on the next blog and I did nothing but connected the dots from reels to Medium. If I have to add some creativity to an in-process blog, I just stop writing and do anything to take my mind off of it. I start visualizing things around me and then I just don’t care about the 0 ideas loop. Let me give you the best example and an experience.

I had to find the most simple things to sell in my “How to Sell Anything?” blog. So I switched off my laptop, took a pen and a notebook in my hand, and started walking around. I had to reject at least 20 ideas before I finally found that empty steel glass full of ideas. Read this blog, you’ll understand what I am talking about. I’ll also mention some of the other blogs in the end for reference.

Pen, Paper, and Publish

Before I start writing on Medium, I break my idea into pieces on a piece of paper. I write down the most important points that need to be included because I don’t eat almonds. ;) Hahaha, alright. I structure the blog there and then release the final product here. It’s a small and common suggestion yet many people don’t follow this process. Trust me, if you’re looking for creativity, pen it down.

Getting an idea is the most important thing, for me especially. I know I’ll figure out the content. I just need to give it time. So don’t worry, maybe not today but tomorrow, they are going to come to you and you’re going to rock those ideas with your creative mind.

Don’t force the ideas, enjoy the process. That loop is temporary but your consistency will be permanent.
