[…] If you treat blogging as more than just a passing hobby, it is likely you will experience blogging burnout at one stage or another. It is often confused with blogger’s block. In my opinion, blogger’s block is when you are at a sudden loss for words and cannot think of anything to blog about. I had earlier written how you can avoid bloggers’ block. […]

Yup, I’ve started going on SU more often now as well and it does help to contribute an idea here or there!

Here I am thinking I have an original idea to throw in the mix and there’s Shaun taking my Stumbleupon glory :) But seriously, lately I am on a bit of a SU binge and am coming up with more future and “rainy day” post ideas than ever before!

Exactly Shaun, there is seldom a lack of ideas to be had as long as you look around and keep in touch with what’s happening. And if you plan a ’schedule’ of the type of posts to be done, like yours, it can be even easier. Great ideas! Thanks for the stumble too! :)

if i ever get writers block i just use stumbleupon untill i gather enough info to make a post. i also like to use videos, weekly “popular posts”, and simple blog tactics to write about when i run out of ideas. normally it’s tough to run out of ideas. great post stumbled this one :)

Thanks all!

@ Jason - yes that is one of the best ways to break any rut that you might have. And it helps other bloggers, spreads the word to readers, and you also add your own opinions, which is important.

@ Troy - well if your blog is your only way to reach out to readers and also the main channel for your business, I can imagine the stress involved thinking about content. But otherwise it might not necessarily be critical that you post too regularly. If you had a personal blog, it can also help cos you would then be able to post more varied content!

@ ZHereford - I have more to learn from you since you are a writer. :)

Great post! I often stress about writing and wish my blog was not so focused. I’m thinking about creating a personal blog but then again I would have more blogs to supply info too :)

Great tips! I’m also one that thinks posting a quick opinion about another blog post you’ve read, with appropriate trackbacks and links, isn’t a bad filler for those who can’t shake that “gotta post something” mindset. Bloggers love link love, so it can’t hurt. Thoughts?
