Content & Writing Tycoon

And I don't mean to knock Mashable. It's just that quality isn't in their business model. They aim for quantity. They put out as much content as they can, which attracts more people and they sell more advertising. Some people are happy getting quick bits of information and so it works for them.

I just don't see where writer's block would enter into it unless you're pushing for quality. If you are pushing for quality I do think you can make money, but you have to be thinking of the quality first. That's why the money follows. If you start thinking money before quality then quality suffers.

I write down all my ideas, when I get them. And sometimes it's not when I'm supposed to write the content. I write titles or few words so that I can remember the idea, when I start the article. Also READING books in the niche, reading other blogs, studying stats and search results will surely help. Once you have some stuff written down you can always refer to that when you feel like you got 'stuck'.

Exactly. I do the same. I collect lots and lots of ideas. I collect them when they come to me and sometimes I actively brainstorm new ideas. I don't generally write the content for those ideas at the moment the idea comes. The ideas are recorded in an application and over time I make notes, create outlines, add links to resources, all eventually leading up to writing a draft and editing it for publication.

Go out. More often than not, writer's block is just a way of the mind telling you "I'm running out of things to say here man, you need to take me out for a walk.". Going out and doing some "people watching" can give you fresh ideas that you can work from. It is best to experience the life outside so you will be able to put it on paper.

Try doing something that can inspire you to think and reveal your creative side. Try looking for new ideas and compare that with the old ones. Think about what you like to redo about it.

Take a breather outside.

People watching has always been an effective strategy for writers. Out there, the world is filled with so much people who have many stories untold. You can get inspiration from other people's lives and experiences because we have to admit, we writers...sometimes find ourselves so dull to make an itneresting read.

In writing for custom websites, you've gotta recycle yet paraphrase ideas. Reading various kinds of materials helps too.

I'd love to find new ideas by reading blogs, and then when I read something similar a couple of time, my own idea and opintion about it forms up and then I write...

Based on my experience, I'm only having a writer's block whenever I'm stressed-out.

Just read and read and read! If you are not into reading, watch and watch and watch television! If you don't have time for it, talk and talk and talk with other people! By that way, you can gain ideas. Just have the capability to connect to each other the things you are learning. Then ideas will pop out unexpectedly and randomly!
