5 Tips For Never Running Out Of Content To Post On Your Blog
1. Write A “Bundle” Of Posts – When first starting your blog, I suggest you write 5 to 40 articles or more. Yes that’s a big gap I know but it depends on how much you care or how easy you want to make things. Before starting your blog, I suggest you write a bunch of articles (as many as you can) and save them as drafts. This saves a lot of time in the long run.
If you write say 10 articles in a day, then you’re done with your work for 10 days! That’s if you post every day though. If you post every 2 days or 3 days that means you have 20 – 30 days of work done! You get the point. This makes things easier as well. Sometimes bloggers get overwhelmed and and want to give up because they’re not seeing success so they won’t feel like writing. This way it takes very little effort to publish a post. So if they’re not seeing success, it won’t be hard to just go and publish a quick post.
2. After That, Continue Writing “Bundles” Of Posts – After your 10, 20 or however many days is up, spend another few hours to write another 10 or however many articles you want. This always makes things easier. This way, when it’s time to post on your blog you don’t have to think and think about what to blog about. You already have posts written down and ready to be published. This is actually my 4th article I’ve written today. I plan on doing a few more. It sure makes things easier! 
3. Keep A Notepad/Journal – I find this also makes things easier. When you get an idea that pops into your head, write the idea and a few details about the post into a notepad or a journal or anything that you have access to wherever you are. If you don’t have access to a journal because you’re in the car or out to eat, or at the zoo or whatever, maybe write the idea in your phone or any place you can. I find that when I think of things and don’t write them down they don’t tend to come back to me. It’s frustrating because they’re great ideas but I forget them.
When it comes time to write your “bundle” of posts, you will have a some ideas listed on your journal so it’ll be a piece of cake on finding out what topics to write about.
4. Check Out Other Blogs – By visiting other blogs in your niche you can get some good ideas from reading their posts. I definitely do not advise you to copy their content though. Maybe if they have a top list of ways to do something, pick one point on that list and elaborate. Or you could write a post that covers the same topic but tell what you think about it and share your knowledge on that topic. But seriously, don’t copy other people’s content. You won’t be successful.
5. Spend Time Thinking Of Posts – Try taking maybe just 10 – 30 minutes out of your day to write down as many post topics as you can. This way when you need an idea on what to write about you can just look at what you wrote down. This goes with keeping a notepad/journal to write down your ideas but instead of writing when you get an idea, you take some time out of your schedule to just brainstorm post ideas.
Those are some simple but effective tips that help me with not running out of content to publish on this blog. Follow these tips. Trust me, it will make your blogging success come easier. If you just write a bundle of articles, and schedule them to post at a certain time and day, you can just spend your time on marketing and other important things. This will save you a bunch of time!

Great advise, having posts ready to be posting over a week or so is a great way to complete other things like promote your blog.
Thanks. I’ve been trying that lately and I haven’t written a post in days. And don’t have to. That saves time for doing SEO and marketing.
Thats why I preferred a Technical blog !

Good tips, sometimes when you have been at it for a while you get writer’s block.
If you think you might run into problems with your employer, you might consider asking them for feedback on your blog before you post it. However if your blog is in no way linked with your work / employer and you do not talk about your employer, I actually cannot see the problem from your employer.
