In the past few weeks I’ve been working on several ideas for some really compelling content on my blog. In fact, as I write this post I currently have 36 drafts in my wordpress admin area. Some of these drafts are just one line topics but others are half completed work in progress posts that I’ve been updating slowly from time to time. All of the posts ideas I come up with are done using my simple steps to avoid writers block that I’ve written about before.
The posts that I’ve been slowly working on for the past few weeks are the ones that excite me the most. These are the posts that I truly believe have the potential to be linked to by top bloggers, receive a spike of traffic from Stumble Upon, Digg etc. and could even be used as a future resource for bloggers to come back to. I’ll be posting a few of these in June and am really interested to see how they do to not only increase traffic but to also improve my RSS subscription numbers.
Other posts that I’ve been spending a lot of time on are case studies. What I won’t do is write about a new website I’m going to launch on my blog (post the URL) and then analyze the web statistics after a certain period of time. Do you see where the problem is? If you’re analzying data after posting the URL on your blog the numbers won’t be as accurate as they show be. I hate when people do this. Especially if the website that is being written about is a test to see how much money can be made from it “without work.” Either way I really enjoy reading detailed case studies because I’ve been able to learn a lot from them which is exactly why I want to document and share more of my real life examples as well.
How do you plan out future posts or do you just pick out a topic to write about it that day?

One of the things I do is search the net to see what people are asking about the most, then answer it in a post or article.
I have quite a large “post arsenal” built up. Like you however, most need completion, or at least a little updating here and there.

I usually don’t try to write everyday.When i have the mood i flow with 4-5 posts (publish 2-3 and save others in drafts)
You really write well but why do u make less money.Also post freqently which will really help you and the readers…
Whenever I get an idea I automatically write it down, then I write a first draft of the post.
After that I proofread it and edit it, then I read it one more time to make sure it’s perfect and I publish it.
The most important point is to write your ideas right away so you don’t forget them.
