Default Good Source for Blog Content
Sorry I haven't been around much this week! The flu going around OK is a literal killer. Anyway, I wanted to share a great tip for finding content to blog about.

Earlier this year, I discovered StumbleUpon, which I think we've all been guilty of using to waste our time, but Stumble can be an excellent resource for you!

The toolbar that you install has a "search and Stumble" feature and you can use this to find excellent content for posting on your blog! Simply search for "small business" or "virtual assistant" (or other relevant keywords) and see what Stumble brings your way. Then, simply post your thoughts on the article/photo/resource that comes up and link back to the original site.

This can really help if you get in a content slump! Just be careful not to spend too many hours Stumbling! It's a productivity killer!

I like StumbleUpon, too. Sometimes the course of events during your workday is also a good source for a topic.

Great resource Brianna. Thanks for sharing! This will be most helpful as I offer blog ghostwriting services.
