      You write a must-read blog!!!

      This is an AWESOME list Michelle!! I just love it and have printed it out to put in my notebook so that I can have some great ideas at the tip of my fingers as I sit down to write!

      You are always so helpful with your blog tips, thank you and please keep up the good work!

      I love blog posts like these! I keep meaning to make a swipe file with them but haven’t gotten around to it yet. Hmmm – wondering if I have time to do that today?

        Swipe files are a great idea. I’ve got some printed copies of content brainstorming worksheets I keep handy. Makes it a lot easier to get started writing.

      Thanks for sharing such a comprehensive list – I have no excuse now…
      My Favourite is no. 24 – If I was my mother I would tell myself…

    6. Catherine says:

      Thanks Michelle – it’s always nice to have someone else do some of the creative heavy lifting!

    7. Melanie Kissell says:

      Superb! What a treat and thanks a heap! And I really appreciate the inclusion of additional resources. Way cool. :)

    8. Melanie Kissell says:

      P.S. LOVE the new look in your header — Sweeeet!

    9. Codrut Turcanu says:

      Thank you. I appreciate this because it’s always practical to use these “templates” when you’re brain stuck . I have a massive collection of swipe files and fill-in-the blanks for almost anything marketing or advertising related (emails, sales letters, blog posts, articles, ads, landing pages, etc:)

        Twitter: MichelleShaeffr
        says:

        Brain stuck – that’s a good way to describe it. I think we all hit that point sometimes and just having a few ideas (or a whole file full of ideas) can get us un-stuck again.

      With this list, I will be set for the year! Many of them also have an opposite you can write about too. For example, #20: Technology I Can’t Live Without – you can turn it around to be Technology I Can Live Without )and talk about those gadgets that just do not make sense to you!)

      Again, thanks for the list and the extra resources.

      Be Well.

      Hi, Michelle — This isn’t really a comment — although thank you for your post. Very helpful!

      Just wanted to let you know that at least on my computer (the vertical Shares pop up on your blog makes it impossible to read the article. I had to print it out to read it.

      (And now I can’t read the left hand side of what I’m writing because of the shares pop-up. Is there a way to suppress it I’m not discovering?

      Thanks. Loving the Ultimate Blog Challenge!

    19. Barney Davey says:

      I just found your blog post and I love it. I have fired up a new love for my blog again. After going back and forth with what is going to best for my website I have decided to keep it. I know plenty about the Industry I like to post about but getting catchy titles was drawing a blank for me. The second a read through the first fie I knew exactly where I need to be headed. I’m going to save this page(bookmark) and refer back to it, when I get stumped. Thanks Michelle for sharing a great post!
