When you’re getting started with blogging, sometimes it can be difficult to come up with enough blog post ideas to write about.
When you are feeling stuck and just cannot come up with enough blog post ideas to blog about, then you are experiencing what’s called writer’s block.
Writer’s block basically prevents you from even deciding on what topic to write about.
Most bloggers including myself, unfortunately, run into this problem so do not feel bad because it is completely normal.
However, if you know the right places to look, you will discover that the topics you can write about really are unlimited.
In this post, I would like to share easy ways on how you can come up with blog post ideas.
Blog Post Idea #1: Create A List
I know the idea of starting “another list” can be overwhelming. I completely understand. I have had a million “To Do” lists. It seemed like I spent more time creating lists than doing them. If you can relate, do not worry, there is a way more effective way to handle lists.
Before you start working on your “blog post ideas” list, I would recommend using a tool called Trello. It has a free subscription and it allows you to create lists in the most effective organized way. You can try it for free here.
So anytime you come up with an idea for a future post, write it down somewhere or create a list in Trello.
You can also download an app for Trello so you can easily update your list anytime. It is always a good idea to brainstorm on ideas before you go to bed or when you first wake up as well.
As a reminder, you also want to keep or view your list regularly as a constant reminder for upcoming topics.
Blog Post Idea #2: Visit Other Websites In Your Niche
You can find inspiration for coming up with blog post ideas by visiting other websites in your niche. For example, you can find inspiration from top leaders in your industry and subscribe to their RSS feeds, their email list or their YouTube channels for example.
Blog Post Idea #3: Go To Forums & Communities In Your Niche
By going into forums, social media groups, and communities in your niche, you can see what everyone else is talking and posting about. You can also determine what type of questions they are asking about and then you can turn around and answer those questions in a blog post.
Blog Post Idea #4: Get Feedback From Your Audience
It is always best to determine what your audience wants to hear from you. You can create curiosity posts. In your email newsletter, you can ask what type of future posts would they like for you to post. You could ask relevant questions such as:
- What is making them stuck?
- What are they struggling with?
- What do they need to learn more about?
This is also a great way to engage with your audience and provide more value.
Blog Post Idea #5: Create A Series of Related Posts
Once you have received some feedback from your audience, you can create a series of posts that are related to those specific blog post ideas that you write about.
For example, if you write about How To Lose Weight, you can write several blog posts surrounding that topic.
- How To Lose Weight The Healthy Way
- What Are The Best Diets You Should Choose While Losing Weight
- What Are The Most Common Reasons Why People Struggle With Weight?
- What Are The Best Foods To Eat While Trying To Lose Weight?
- What Are The Top Foods That Are Hindering You From Losing Weight?
These are just a few examples to show you how you can create a series of posts under one related topic as shown.
Whatever your niche is, just come up with a general topic that would be valuable to your audience and write a series of posts.
I hope this post has helped you to feel unstuck and to come up with more blog post ideas.
