Necesity.

Just begin witing in your conlang (either translating or generating
original work) things that are relevant, i.e. if your conlang is related
with a conculture, try imaging what would people in that culture want to
say and found a way to say it, if your conlang is an auxlang (or a
conauxlang), a list like the one Mathew Willoughby posted
(http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/Shores/6794/first101words2.html).

When you are writing you will need some vocabulary and that is the
vocabulary you are getting.
