What drives you to continue blogging? Many of us have been able to break through and make money for what we love, and a lot of us are still finding our way in the blogosphere. What separates the money makers from the non money makers? In my opinion, nothing, everyone has the same opportunity, it just takes a little creative thinking. If you’re already passionate about what you do, then take that same passion to find ways to make your efforts financially worthwhile.

Take the tips and hints that are shared here on Bloggin-ads seriously, and explore your own options and make it happen for yourself. You might not be a six figure blogger, but making a mortgage payment, a car payment, or buying those extras you’d like can go a long way to boosting your confidence in your writing.

71. How have you explained the benefits of blogging to someone who does not know? – You’re a blogger and you love the medium. To writers like ourselves it’ a wonder why everyone is not blogging. With such an open opportunity to share thoughts, ideas, and passions, how do you convince others to blog? Blogging has proven a success for both individuals and companies who’ve taken to the medium as away of stay in touch with their fans and supporters.

72. Comment on the use of auto-DM’s on Twitter – The growing use of auto replies on Twitter has become a problem for some, useful for others. What are your thoughts? Does the idea of an auto reply take away from the human element of these social platforms? The idea of having a bot communicate with you seems counter productive to the entire idea of why social networks are popular. Share what your thoughts are on this growing habit.

73. Discuss how you are approached by supposed “experts” that want your money – Everyone is tossing the word ‘expert” around that the very concept is losing its meaning. In the fight to be the first out of the gate, people are becoming the perverbial snake oil salesman that looks to dupe people into paying them for services that are falsely advertised and/or created under false pretense. Have you been approached by such a person? If so, share your thoughts on this, how did it effect you and what do you look for before you buy into trainings, seminars, and webinars?

74. Discuss your favorite sports team, past and present – Take what you know and use it. Sports are a big topic on both sides of the globe. Compare past and present versions of your team. Share with niche markets on forums or social networks and bring together a think tank to discuss the team. Do you play fantasy sports? Another great opportunity to share what you love with a wide audience. Perhaps you can be the one to introduce someone to the world of fantasy sports.

75. What has society lost in terms of how we deal with one another? – Take your thoughts to the massive scale of humanity as a whole. What has changed, and what have we lost? There are a great many cultures on our planet that adhere to certain living guidlines that others do not have. Some cultures value their elderly, some live their life religiously 24/7, and others value material wealth, but in all we’re one people. How do we differ and is it good or bad?

76. Are you heard in the echo chamber? – With so much going on in the blogosphere, analyze yourself and other sites and differentiate them from the echoes on the net. Do you feel your voice is heard? What’s your broadcast range and how many new readers do you get on your site? If you’vve found a success formula, perhaps sharing those steps would benefit someone new to blogging.

77. Share some urban legends from your surrounding area – These stories are always good during the days before and shortly after Halloween, or perhaps on a Friday the 13th, like the one that just passed. Does your neighborhood, city, state, or country have unusual urban legends that you’d like ot share, perhaps research, and share with your audience. Where do these stories come from and why do they strike fear in us. A great topic to explore for fun.

78. Discuss the current tech battle between Microsoft and Apple – It’s not a surprise that for over 20 years two giant tech companies have been battling it out. A once powerful and mighty company has been defanged, and an underdog had tackled the consumer market with products that have become staples in all our households. What’s your stand on this? What’s in the future of each of these companies? One has stores everywhere, one wants to build stores, one has an ailing leader, the other has a leader that left. This should attract some attention from your readers.

79. Write a list of your own with all the great blogs topics you have! – Do you have a list of ideas bubbling around in your head? If you do, perhaps a list post would draw some attention to your site and get those ideas out of your head. For some reason list posts really attract eyes, and with increased eyes comes increased readership and the success of your site, so get to it!
