Mercury from Nothing Specific About MerDuriaN recently commented the following in my post “My Traffic Is Gone! My Blog Is Dying!” which inspired me of this post on what to do when you are having nothing to write and don’t know what to do to help raising the quality of your blog.
Nothing to do when you want your blog to be good is something that is impossible for me. I will share a list of 10 things that you can do when you think you are idle in your blogging.
Bloghopping
This is actually a great thing to do. There are nearly 100 million blogs out there and it is impossible for you to tell me that there is nothing to be visited. Visiting other blogs can make you relax, know what is happening out there and upgrade yourself with knowledge.
By applying the 6 Arts Of Commenting On Articles, signing in to your MyBlogLog account and start to bloghop can actually bring in lots of traffic! Do me a favor, try visiting 10 new blogs everyday, in the end you will have a long list of blogs which will keep you busy for sure. 
Inspiration Seeking
You should try to do things that can give you blogging inspiration. Know what is the time where blogging ideas come to you the most. When you are not in blogging active mode, get yourself into the environment so that you will get some blogging inspiration. With this, you can get a draft of what your upcoming post will look like and plan where will be your blog’s next destination.
Learn Something New
Ask someone a question. Wayne Liew is always here for you. If anyone requested, I can give you part of my collection of blogging guides so that you all can improve yourself on blogging.
Apart from giving you the e-books and podcasts which I downloaded and bought over the years, I can provide assistance if there’s anything that you don’t understand. Finding someone like me is better than finding those big time experts who might not have time to respond to your questions that might sound simple to them, right?
I am also affiliated to Blog Mastermind Mentoring Service, you will only need to pay $77 per month an you will receive a lot tips, extras and personal guidance on how you can improve your blog or you can download a FREE e-book here!
Blog Improvement
I am sure most of the time when you blog, you are always publishing, publishing and publishing. This is what makes most of us not aware of our blog design and usability. Take some of your idle time, surf around theme sites or the list of plugins that you can install on your blog.
This can help introducing something new for your visitors rather than just depending on your contents to make them come back.
Brainstorming
You claimed that you have nothing to blog about or today is not the day for you to post anything (due to blogging frequency) but you can actually plan for what is going to be featured on your blog tomorrow or two days after. I am sure longer time will allow you to produce an article with higher quality, right?
Start to brainstorm alone, get away from distractions, maybe you can consider taking a walk outside. Do you know that sitting in front of the computer whole day long can make our brain goes dumb?
Where’s the other five? Well, the list will continue in another post to avoid information overload. Meanwhile, think of what you can do during your idle time and share it with me so that I can add into my list. I hope I can add some tasks to your timetable now.
For those who want the e-books and podcasts, drop me a message here or leave me a comment so that I can get your mail address. Make sure you subscribe to my RSS Feed to be the first to know what the other 5 ways are.
