The Science
What’s Happening Behind Our Brainstorming
No more missed deadlines. No more forgotten or lost ideas. No more stress over what’s coming next. Bloggin’ Ninja generates millions of unique ideas customized to your business, helps you write with fill-in-the-blank templates and checklists, and keeps track of your marketing goals and content calendar through a series of simple prompts.
“Plan-making prompts are a simple, inexpensive, and powerful tool for helping people follow through on their intentions” 1 (source)
Content Marketing without a plan means consistent posting is often overlooked or even forgotten. As small business owners and marketers, we have so many balls in the air… so many things to remember… it can be difficult to find time to blog or post on socials. But fresh online content is a necessity for businesses today.
Coming up with fresh ideas for your blog be difficult because “we think in a loop… The cycle occurs about three times a second — evaluating our plans, getting inputs and developing new plans.” 2

Unlock Your Unconscious.™
Bloggin’ Ninja releases your conscious mind so you can let your wrtiting ideas flow.
When you use a Brainstorm Board®, there can be no Writer’s Block. There is no “stuck.” There is only the joy of discovering ideas and writing amazing customized content, saving your time and frustration.
Dr. John Stern, a neurology professor at UCLA’s Geffen School of Medicine, explains, “people experience creative insights when they’re doing something else, when they’re distracted, when they’re not forcing an idea to come.“3 (source)
By answering a couple of quick prompts, Bloggin’ Ninja distracts that pesky, over-thinking “Analytic Brain,” allowing you to unlock your unconscious and discover ideas you didn’t even know you had.
Numerous studies have shown that “people can better recognize creative ideas unconsciously.” 4 (source)
Make Your Content Life Better.
Bloggin’ Ninja helps you discover unique ideas and keep them safe and organized. Our Brainstorm Boards® allow you to simply focus on one idea at a time, while helping you easily keep your blog organized and populated with amazing content.
To successfully “make writing a more pleasurable and easy-going experience” a National Endowments for the Arts study showed that using “brainstorming and free associations techniques to stimulate the overall writing task” can increase productivity dramatically. 5 (source)
So don’t worry about where your next idea’s coming from or how to write it; Bloggin’ Ninja’s got your back. Developing your blog, presentations or newsletters with our Writer’s Tools allows you to quickly see limitless possibilites.
Dr. Stern states, “we can foster creativity (by) recognizing that perception is flexible. It’s as simple as ‘how many ways can you see that’… It’s best sometimes to just let go of the idea, sometimes it’s best to follow an idea — and not drill yourself into a corner of this is how it has to be.” 6 (source)
Because blogging without a plan is kind of like starting construction without blueprints — it’ll work for a little while, then it will eventually fall apart. A steady stream of fresh, authentic content keeps your business visible and well built by creating higher search engine rankings so your customers can find you. What’s the point of having a website if no one can find it?
