Lacking original content or ideas

The lack of original content or ideas has the potential to kill a blog very quickly. Unfortunately, many bloggers fall into this. They may slip into scraping and republishing the feeds of others while adding little of their own content.

Try to create original content:

• Find new and exciting aspects of your niche or industry that others are not covering.
• Take a different stance or opinion on popular stories.
• Write in a different style or voice. For example, explore the flip side of a popular argument.
