Writing Online

Writing online is realy driving me crazy lately. Not in myLot, because, myLot I don't consider writing its just fun. I am meaning about blogging and article sites. I have a blog and I connected it to myLot today - given I did that right, I can't tell. I haven't been able to think of anything to blog about though and its kind of at a stand still. I can't think of anything to write an article about either and I'm only 49 cents away from $25 on bubblews, I want to see if they pay! What am I going to do though when I have nothing to blog or write about? I'm basically at that point now. What do you do? I have set up my blog finally so it will generate revenue... now I have no content. Its crazy! I used to be fileld with random ideas to at least blog about. Now I've gone completely dry.

Hi! I also have a blog but it's not for earning though, it's just my hobby. It's my dream to become a writer but that never happened. I just blog about anything I want. I can relate to you that there are times, I have so many ideas to write down,and there are also times when I want to write but it's as if my mind is in a hollow skull and I could not think of anything and I felt so dumb. I dream that one day I will finally have a blog that earns money, so I could do a lot of things and share them to my readers. I follow a lot of bloggers who I think are earning well. Don't worry if now you can't think of anything to write. Maybe it happens to a lot of writers. Maybe you're just pressured to write, that makes you feel the way you are feeling right now. GOod luck to your blog! Hope everything will turn out right sooner!Have a nice day!:)

Blogging is a fun hobby when you have a lot of things to blog about or you know your topics well. Then you can have fun and catering to your audience is kind of a thrill to me. Even though right now I don't think I have an audience. This new blog platform I found is really nice so I think this will help me to do better.

There is always stuff to write about. Write a piece on what is going on in your life. Write a reflection on how winter days have changed since your childhood. Tell a story about some summer's day of your youth. I always have ideas for what I want to be writing, but I don't always have the time and/or energy to get to all of my writing ideas.

I used to feel like you about this, I would have good topics in my head to write about all of the time! Now I don't seem to have those any more.

I have a blog but I had abandoned it just as I abandoned my registration in other writing sites. It is just confusing for me unlike here in myLot. I don't have anything against those other earning site but I just want things to be simple like here in myLot. I like the way that it is just simple here and I like it that my writings are being responded.

There's nothin' wrong with that at all. I would prefer to try and earn from both if I can. myLot is much more fun though. As well as simple so I can see your point there for sure.

Ask yourself on what is your blog's purpose such as its niche and it's blog viewers and write contents that is fairly relatable to an SEO friendly approach. If your blog is about online earning program, then why not write something that is somewhat a review and an overview of your online earning programs.

I have done a little of that as well as sharing my online earning techniques. If someone will read them they will also learn what I do to earn online.

Well that's a good take, i think you need to focus more then is to drive traffic to your blogsite. Good luck! Thanks for your response...

Personally, I had to give up on most Writing sites other than here a long time ago due to lack of time. Plus most of them it takes so long to really earn much in there so that is why as well. As for coming up with ideas, a lot of sites it really depends on what they are looking for, but hope you will be able to reach payout there and find it has been worth your time.

That's true but since a blog is mine I can always pick what i want to write about even if no one else likes it.

Take a break and don;t be too harsh on yourself. There really are "off' days for writers. That happens to me, too. Not everyday do we have great ideas to write about. For the mean time, just relax. Then try going out of the house and be some place else. You might just bump into some interesting topic to write about.

A chance to gather my thoughts will do me good, I"ve had some other people suggest this too. I am going to do this today when it warms up a bit more outside, at least, go for a small walk to clear my head.

I agree with jenny1015, some times you just need to take a break from writing. I was in a slump the other day. I tried to force myself to write, but wasn't coming up with any ideas, so I just didn't write and I had a pen and paper by my computer so if I read something that was interesting then I could make notes and come back to it later. Forget about coming up with a blog and when you least expect it it will come into your head, just like this discussion!

Thanks I do hope that you're right. Its not nearly as fun when I have to force myself. I'm sure its dry for the readers as well!

It's like the tide. Sometimes the tide is high; sometimes the tide is low, and your 'wanting to go fishing' isn't going to bring it up any faster. Get a 'notebook' (no, not the digital 'laptop for your forearm' or whatever gizmos kids're ding-a-lingin` with nowadays; but the 'paper' kind) & a pen-or-pencil, and carry it with you while you go do somethin` ... maybe watch the movie you'll write a review or -'new observation' on afterward Or watch TV, or eat something, or take a walk or whatever.

Our thoughts can be like a trickle or a flood. Right now mine just aren't coming the wayI wish they were! Taking a walk always helped except there's snow and I hate snow...

When that happens to me, I watch tv or read something else. Usually, that helps me generate ideas, no matter how random. I just write whatever comes to mind and since it bubblews, I'm not that serious about writing articles there. Just something simple and easy to understand will do.

some ideas might be brought to mind while you enjoy your tv or book too.

I have a list of the things I want to write about and I would try to develop the topic whenever I have time. However, there are times that ideas just came pouring so I don't need that list. I would only refer to it when I don't have any idea on which to write about. There are times that I also think of some other topics and I don't time yet, I will add it to the list. Have a nice day!

Hi friend, good to know about your writing activities. I am writing in some article sites and enjoying with it, but now a days i am busy with offline activities and don't have more time for my online work. I got a lot of invitation to join with bubblews, but i don't have time for this site. Wish you to get your payment from that site. As you mentioned you set up your blog, wish you to earn a lot from it. Blogging is the best way for online income

I've sort of restarted blogging and earning just not the same way. I am not on one of the normal blog platforms. Now I'm able to do this through a social network which is actually a lot more helpful. Thsi way the traffic is not my issue and I can write when I want whatever I want, the traffic gets there without my help. Bubblews did pay me that first time, now I'm on the way to the second. I hope you have some good article sites.

We all know theere's no comparison for myLot any where on the web and even the writing sites we do use don't come close to here. Thats why we're all so addicted right? hehe.

Go out and watch people and make stories about them. Since "writing" is basically staring off into space trying to figure out what the balls to write about, your other unofficial profession becomes people watching. Or. Write about people, write about your pets, your boyfriend, your family, recall memories from you were a child your happiest, loneliest, memorable ones. Use my lot search box and look for thought provoking questions and then try to answer them with an article you made. erm thats what i do, i dont write very much though and i cant say I'm good at it, but this helps.

People watching is a good way to have some ideas as well. There may be someone who will spark a charcter in your mind and that alone might be enough to start your writing off again.

maybe you should go out and see if you can find something new to write about - maybe find a free class at the library to try out.

I used to think that way when I first started writing on my blog. I would get writer's block. But when I started writing what I could immediately come up without putting high expectations on the topic of my writing, I realized I actually had a lot to share.

I'm hoping this is what will occur for me too. Once I start actually blogging I am hoping the topics will come back to me and so will the inspiration. Sometimes this is the case when we start writing frequently.

Writing is something to enjoy and not something that we have to push our way in. Before I write an article I makes sure that I'm in the mood because if not it will only takes too much of my time and energy.

True, its a very good idea to be in the mood for writing. I have found the same conundrum if I was not in the mood it would just make me feel worse when I tried to do that writing. I should enjoy it.
