Confession: I didn’t make up that title. I don’t think I could have if I tried. I got it from a blog title generator.

You put in a topic, it can be a noun or verb, and it comes up with titles for you. It will give you  a long list such as “Ten Ways to Make Your Blog Exciting” and “How to Gain Blog.” Some of them are pretty generic, some of them are don’t quite make sense, and a lot are the sort that you see all over the web these days.

Clearly, if you are embarrassed by your blogging skills, you’re not alone. There are plenty of people who aren’t so confident and feel they should be doing better. Wanting to get better puts you ahead of a lot of people and actually committing to getting better will put you way out in front.

If you want to be better, you need to be consistent and blog on a regular basis both so that you develop the habit and you can build a regular following of readers to reach your goals.

In order to be consistent, it helps to know your goals. Do you want just want readers? Do you want to promote an idea, product or company?

Who is your audience? What do they want to know about? What do you want them to know about you?

Once you have those questions answered, a blog title generator can help you be consistent. Try it out when you’re stuck for topics. It won’t necessarily generate titles you want to use, but it can spark ideas. It can give you a new way to think about your topic or an approach you hadn’t thought of. As you formulate your idea, think about the people you want to reach and what they’re interested in that you have to offer. You can even ask them for ideas on what to write about.
