Mark: Thanks for your reply with your tips on how to capture content creating ideas. I am now a premium Evernote user due to the purchase of an Evernote smart notebook by Moleskine, so I will test out things in Evernote.

Writing a post is just like cooking, you need to know what kind of food the people will love so that they will remember the taste and crave for more. Same as writing, you write a post people will love and they will enjoy reading it.

Mark: You have written a meaty post on how to attract more hungry readers. What's your take on getting inspirational moments on what to write, like a notebook on your nightstand, dictaphone app, etc.?

Hey Martin, I have to say Evernote. or even a cell phone that you can take notes in in any form. Cell phone works best for me because it's something that I have with me at all times. But anything you can carry with you is fine.

I write down the main idea and the vague points but no details. I find that I get excited thinking up the details of the post so I save that for when I actually have to do the writing.

Hope that helps :)
