Ugh! If I read one more blog post on "How to start a blog?" I think I'll choke on the words. How do you come up with new, exciting blog ideas that haven't been covered? It seems that people write the same post with a somewhat different perspective, but it's still the same post. I want to write about topics that haven't been covered. Perhaps it's time for me to brainstorm...Any suggestions...
How to come up with new blog ideas?

Hi Sarah
You have a very valid point, and I admire your desire to be original, but do keep in mind that there are hundreds of millions - possibly billions - of people out there on the internet searching for information, and there's a good chance that they won't ever see any of those "duplicate" articles, they may just find yours. So don't worry about copying someone else's "idea", as long as you feel you can bring your own spin to it or add something to it, that will make it unique.
Sometimes you may be reading a blog post elsewhere with which you disagree - you may feel that it's important to get your opinion on record too.
I remember a few years ago hearing some hollywood director or studio head was quoted saying "there are no new movies being made - everything is a remake of something that's already been made" - or something very close to that effect.
With billions of websites out there, it's very hard to have a truly original idea for every blog post, so don't let that frustrate you. Just stay true to what you want to write about, what you know about, and what you think your readers will enjoy.
Good luck!

MemberWow - that's good advice Trisha!
I agree - I don't think it's possible to have a truly unique topic to write about, because with so many billions (yes, billions with a "b") of sites out there you can bet that somebody somewhere has already written about it.
SO don't stress over the idea for your blog post, just focus on what you want to say about it. Your perspective may be the only thing unique about it, but that is what makes it authentic, and makes others want to read it, even if they've already read a gazillion other articles on the subject.
