Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Bitu Mihai. Bitu is a young blogger from Romania and the author of Nice Blogger. His main interests lie in SEO and Social Media.

A blogger must be prepared for everything, must have new ideas each day and he must write interesting posts to atract the attention of his readers. Sometimes, our ideas are running out and we don’t find any idea for a new post. There are some ways to find new ides for a post and today I will write about 5 simple ways to find new blog post ideas.

1.       Subscribe to news feeds: Read the news often and make sure you tag key words in your feed, so that anytime your topic pops up in the news you know about it.

2.       Browse forums related to your topic: For example, if you blog about green living, get on a green living forum and find out what people want to know more about. On forums you can discuss many topics about various things. There are forums for any niche, so just search on Google and you will find a forum on your niche.

3.       Start using social media networks. If you use social media sites like Twitter or Facebook , you can start a discussion with other bloggers that are writing on a blog with the same niche as yours. While discussing a subject, some ideas will start to come and you can easily create an article after a long discussion with an SEO expert, for example.

4.       Visit YouTube: Or any video site really. Some of the videos can give you some great ideas for blog posts or even make up the bulk of a blog post if you’re having a blank-head sort of day. YouTube posts a lot of videos about anything and everything.  If you want to write a post about SEO or Google Ranking, you can search "Matt Cutts," and after watching at few videos of his videos, you can write a post with what you’ve understood.

5.       Use social bookmarking sites. I use many social bookmarking sites and I really like these type of sites because there are many posts and tutorials shared.  Reading these posts help you obtain knowledge which can lead to blog ideas. You can also meet some bloggers on those sites that may help your later in your career as blogger.
