How to get good post ideas

Oi lads,

wait that's not my intro

Hey guys, CringyRiceKrispie071 here with a bunch of letters and pictures and stuff. The topic of today's alphabet seizure is blog ideas. Obviously I'm not going to give you my valuable post ideas since I need more rep but I can help you create your own.

Getting post ideas can be tedious and irritating but luckily for you I'm here to try and make your life a little bit easier. I know some people who want to make posts but struggle with the ideas so I hope this helps. It does take time and I don't find it easy but there are some methods you can use.

Do nothing

I know some of you find it hard to follow instructions, but I'm sure even Silly Steve can do this. This is where I get most of my post ideas. Literally doing nothing. Usually at times when you're not on your phone, tablet, Switch or computer.

A good example of this is when you're dropping a big steamy to the toilet. I know some people still use their phones on the toilet but uhh if you do you're a bit odd. But we don't judge unless you main Simon Belmont. Richter is fine though.

This one is well know in the world of creativity, but it genuinely works out for me. When you're having a nice shower sometimes an idea just pops up in your head like a lightbulb.

I wonder if that's actually what happened with Thomas Edison? 🤔

Time heals all wounds, and it also gives you some pretty neat post ideas. Most people I know, and by that I mean me and Myrrusz, get most post ideas naturally. If you're a normal human this should work out well. Only God knows what Matt used to do. I personally like to think he came from a parallel universe and copy pastes other people's posts. BUT THAT'S JUST A THEOR- I used that joke in my last post I'm sorry.

Ask a friend

If you're lacking in creativity a new brain can really help out. Don't steal your friends brains or kidnap them though, just asking if they have any ideas is good enough.

Asking someone who isn't a blogger could work out really well, since they may have an extremely good idea. Since they're not a blogger they won't use it, so they shouldn't have an issue helping you out.

This next method is one I use a lot. If you ask someone who makes posts, they could have a few ideas they can't make into a post. I've gave Myrrusz some ideas that I just couldn't make a post out of and he's done the same for me. Basically you just need to find your own Myrrusz.

The only problem with this is you need a friend.

I'm guilty of doing this a lot, but it's such a good way to make posts. They tend to be more unique and you'll enjoy making them more, since it's talking about something you're ionate about.

The first way of doing this is with other games. I did a post when I was just starting out about how Tetris 99 helps can help you improve at Smash. Shameless plug 1. Not my best post, I might make it Bisified eventually. I also did Smash as Fifa which is possibly the most effort I've ever put into a post.

You don't have to stick to games either; you can basically do anything as long as you can make it relate to Smash. Using me as an example again, I made a post Comparing Smash 4 players to music AND I got the idea from Myrrusz. That's a combo of methods right there lads, going in the compilation.

Yeah the cringe compilation

Those are only a couple of examples, you can get really creative with it and make some unique posts.

Common Ideas

If you're really in the mood to make a post (or just need some rep) these can be a great way to get an easy post and satisfy your blogger needs. Now, what exactly do I mean by "common ideas"?

Well, posts like movesets. They're not my kinda thing but you can do so many different characters and add your own twist. It's important to make yours stand out though, due to the sheer amount of them being made.

Another quick idea is a tier list. Between you and me, they're great for rep. Especially if you have some controversial opinions you can get some angry gamers swarming your comments. A certain friend of mine can DEFINITELY confirm this.

There's nothing wrong with going to the basic ideas every once in awhile, it can help keep your content fresh. I guess it's sort of similar to a balanced diet in a way. Eat your greens, kids.

Relevant topics

Hop on those trends. This is the last time I'll mention him in this post I promise, but Myrrusz does this really well. From ranting about Melee not being in EVO to discussing if wobbling should be banned, he always jumps on those things.

Don't rush your posts, but the sooner you can get these types of blogs out the better. Relevant subjects are like memes, no one cares when they die out. However, they're great if you're one of the first people to mention it.

If you want to blog consistently this isn't the best method for that. New topics are always unpredictable, you never know when they are going to happen. It's good to do these types of posts occasionally.

Looking at other people's posts

Don't steal people's ideas because that's not cool, but you could ask for permission to do it in your own way. Different perspective are always refreshing, as long as it doesn't get repetitive.

Looking at other people's posts can also give you inspiration for a new post. If you saw a post about reads in Smash, it could give you the idea to make a Smash Bros book. Not the best example but I'm sure you get the point.

Last but not least is responding to posts. The main type of responses are when you see a controversial opinion either on the latest feed or featured that you disagree with. It's really important that you aren't just shitting on the person for having an opinion, but instead countering their points and expressing yours.

Help people

Oh hey that's what I'm doing right now. These kinds of posts are rewarding to make because you know they're actually doing something instead of just getting likes by a bunch of level 1 s.

Again this is a type of blog I have dabbled in. You could do a character guide, a post about mentality or anything really. Creating these types of posts can even help you learn about the topic you're going to discuss, since you'll be researching it.

They tend to take longer for a number of reasons. You don't want to spread false information so you have to triple check everything, laying them out clear and simple isn't easy etc. They're worth it in my opinion.

Events

Events are great, those Final Smasher blokes do most of the thinking for you. They usually even have a prize, like a title or some Amino coins. They can be really unique ideas too.

Not only that, but when they have prizes that mean they are competitions. This can be a great way to see how you measure up against all different kinds of bloggers. It doesn't matter if you don't win or get featured, just have fun with it.

There is an event currently happening about Tarot Cards (This) that I'd reccomended if you're struggling with ideas, especially if you're into Persona. You don't actually need to play the game though, you can just research about the cards.

Aaaaaand that's another post done. Now you have no excuses so go and make your own.
