Get unlimited blog topic and blog post ideas any time you like. Social media post ideas? No problem. Learn how to come up with creative catchy titles for any purpose in under 10 minutes.
Right now you're probably thinking I'm crazy. How can anyone possibly promise unlimited blog post ideas. No-one is that creative that they don't run low on inspiration from time to time.
You're right. No-one is that creative on their own. Least of all me.
But what if there was a way to put twenty creative people into the room with you (not in a silent, creepy way though) and have them brainstorm with you on each and every topic you're interested in?
If you've been struggling to come up with interesting and engaging content ideas that will help drive traffic and ultimately grow your brand/following/business, then this is what you've been waiting for.
I tried it out and came up with 20 fantastic new blog post ideas (aimed at bloggers and other online influencers) in under 10 minutes.
Here are the 20 blog ideas I came up with in under 10 minutes. There are probably hundreds of great content ideas still lurking in the raw ideas I generated using a single ideate bot ideation.
As an exercise, check out the raw ideas I used below and see if you can come up with more of your own.
The process of coming up with new blog post ideas, or any type of new idea for that matter, is called ideation.
Ideations are built around a core of seed concepts that are closely related to the topics you want to target. In order to focus your ideas on a specific niche, you need to come up with a short list (no more than 5) of seed concepts.
For the purposes of this example, I wanted to come up with topic ideas aimed at bloggers and influencers to help them create a stable of fantastic anchor posts that would serve as a solid foundation for growing their audience.
I used a few generic seed concepts (i.e. blogging & blog post) and then focused on topics and ideas.
I used a bit of inside knowledge of ideate bot here because instead of spreading my seed concepts too wide, I knew I could rely on my choice of topics (see Settings below) to blend in some marketing concepts.
While Writing is an obvious choice of primary topic for an ideation on blog ideas, I also included Marketing to give the raw ideas an extra dimension.
I also wanted a diverse array of idea types, so I included everything from Guides, to Lists and How-tos.
I chose to leave the creativity level at 5 out of 10 for a balanced mix of focus and out-the-box thinking.
This is where your creative brain, science and technology collide.
ideate bot presents short lists of raw ideas that you use as flashcards. They're often weird or counter-intuitive. This is done on purpose to stimulate counter-intuitive semantic associations in your own brain.
Essentially, it's a way to bypass your logical brain and engage the creative storyteller in your left brain (responsible for confabulation). Again, I recommend you check out ideate bot's beginner guide to learn more about how the brain's storyteller works.
You can try this out for yourself quickly right here. Instead of jumping to your own ideation, quickly browse over each of the ideas listed below. See if they spark a creative, unusual or counter-intuitive idea in you.
Remember to pause for a few seconds after reading each one to give your brain time to confabulate a creative new thought.
As you can see, a lot of the prompts are fairly difficult to comprehend at first glance. That's on purpose. If you understand the sentence immediately, your brain isn't forced to try and make sense of it.
The act of trying to make sense of something activates the storyteller in your brain, your built-in engine of association. It's this association that sparks creativity. It's what you're after.
I'll admit, it can take a little bit of practice. This actually wasn't my first attempt at using ideate bot to come up with new blog post ideas. It gets easier very quickly so stick with it. The payoffs in terms of speed and quality of new ideas is enormous.
For anyone on the lookout for creative inspiration, this is the ideal tool for bloggers, creative writers, and influencers looking for catchy post titles. It's also perfect for marketers wanting to inspire their customers to action through great storytelling.
Almost all businesses that have researched Internet marketing strategies are aware that high quality, engaging and relevant content is one of the best ways to drive valuable organic Web traffic.
The problem is that many people don't have the time or patience to build up a good base of content via blogging.
So what's the alternative?

Content syndication (sharing stuff with permission) can be a great way for small businesses to get more website traffic.
Genuine bloggers and businesses use high quality articles to build high page rankings in Google and generate plenty of valuable organic search traffic.
The problem is that the better the content, the more likely it is that others will duplicate, copy, or spin those articles and publish them on their own sites (without permission or attribution).
Most of the time this is not an issue because low quality, article spinning sites generally tend not to rank well in Google search results.
Video blogging (adding clips to a blog) can help to drive traffic, lower bounce rate, increase engagement and conversions, and generally improve SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and Internet marketing.
Video blogging also provides plenty of "different" marketing opportunities that written content can't - because it is a rich medium for communication.
Bloggers who rely on written content only may find their rankings in search engines suffering as Google continues to include more and more video results (especially from YouTube) in its organic search results.
Google recently ruined our startup launch with a 'false positive' phishing warning that coincided perfectly with our launch announcement to 4500 existing customers.
The article I wrote about that hugely damaging mistake attracted the attention of John Mueller, who responded sympathetically and said he would 'let the team know' about the problem.
Good to his word, I noted a few hits from Mountain view, California on the affected site and at the article, and a few hours later the erroneous phishing message was removed.
A lot of popular blogging techniques have died out as Google's search algorithms (and the rise of social media) have changed the content landscape of the Internet.
For startups and small businesses utilizing blogging as part of their content marketing strategy, keeping tabs on industry best practices can be a bit like trying to herd cats.
As a result, unfortunately, many people find themselves swimming upstream as their content fails to capture high rankings in search results, generates little to no buzz, and generally offers little to no return on investment (ROI).
Well researched, planned and implemented sales funnels can simultaneously boost traffic and increase conversions and revenue to make more money for blogs and
Blogging works! It doesn't matter if you are a college student thinking about making extra pocket money, or a entrepreneur looking to promote your brand.
It also doesn't matter what topic you decide to write about, provided it is a relevant to your niche and something you are passionate about and interested in.
Starting a blog is exciting, but it is also a medium to long term commitment (if you want to derive any real benefit from it), but if you have the drive to succeed there's no better time to start.
If you're blogging regularly, using SEO, sharing content socially, sending out newsletters, marketing, and doing everything right without success, then I've
Learning how to blog is an important business skill that can increase page rankings in Google and bring plenty of traffic to your website.
If you're creating great content on regular basis, but not driving traffic or engaging new customers then you need to understand what to change, before expen
