One thing that almost no one knows about blogging is that biographies can help you come up with new content ideas FAST.

Here’s why:

“Biographies and autobiographies are great ways to learn more about inspirational people. From Randy Pausch to Steve Jobs, the accounts of people’s lives really can serve up plentiful amounts of information,
ideas, and motivation.”
(source – Performancing.com)

I’m a BIG believer in learning from those who already did what I’d like to learn, or got the results I’d like to achieve myself.

That’s why whenever you have the chance to learn from the pros, those who have been where you want to be prior you, you better devour their materials like there’s no tomorrow.

When you’re reading someones biography you get to know that persons failures and successes.

You won’t have to go through what that person has gone, so it’s a great way to avoid the costly mistakes and shortcut your learning curve.

I lost the number of how many times I got inspired by someone else biography to manage my own business or take it to the next level. I lost track of the numerous situations in which these books helped me come up with new (killer) blog postings.

KEY Idea – if you think about it, just by reading someone’s book title or its first page you could get a few enticing content ideas for your upcoming blog posts.

Try it and let me know how it worked for you.

Here’s an even easier idea if you don’t have time to go at the library or buy books from Amazon.

Visit Amazon.com magazine section and look through listings in whatever niche your blog is related to.

Browse the titles and within 5 minutes you should come up with more blog post ideas than you could handle.
