If you get bloggers block Social Media can help. This week in part three of our series on Social Media and blogging we look at how it can help you find inspiration for blogging.

Be inspired by others – Blog Directories

I find I am inspired by other bloggers, some that work in social media and others that just produce well written interesting content.  But how do you find blogs to inspire you?

There are a number of popular blog directories.  Technorati, AllTop, BlogCatalog are some of the most well known.  If you’re in Ireland or have an Irish interest Irish Blogs is fantastic.  A quick internet search will also provide you with topic or industry specific blog directories.

Search these for blogs of interest and be inspired!

 

Social Bookmarking Sites

StumbleUpon, Reddit, Delicious and Digg are full of great links and information that can both help you guage what is trending in your industry and inspire you.  Search for topics that interest you and they will throw up lots of interesting stuff you might not find elsewhere.

Google Alerts

Google Alerts is not only a fantastic research tool but it can also give you a snapshot of what people are talking about relating to a specific interest.  Once you have discovered the current trends write a blog post with your particular insight into the topic.

Linkedin Groups

What are people talking about or looking for information on in your Linkedin groups?  If specific questions are coming up write a blog post addressing these questions or topics.  Ask your own questions on Linkedin Groups or within Linkedin Answers to discover what others think, aggregate the answers in a blog post or answer the question from the feedback you have received from others.
