It’s easy to find yourself with a blank page and no idea what to write about. To help you come up with ideas for future blog posts, we’ve collected some practical tips to help you come up with blog topic ideas. Strap on your creativity caps and let’s get cracking!
But it’s not just about ideas; we’ll ensure they’re accurate and reliable. No made-up gibberish here! We want your readers to trust you like a loyal sidekick, hanging onto your every word. So, let’s sprinkle a dash of fact-checking magic and ensure your content is as solid as a rock.
Write about relative topics
-
Write about topics you know well
This may seem obvious, but it’s important to remember that people are more likely to read your blog if they can relate to the content. If you’re writing a food blog, then obviously readers want recipes and cooking tips–not an article on the political stresses of our society! So make sure whatever topic(s) you choose are ones in which you have experience or knowledge (or both). This will make writing easier and help readers connect with your content. Most importantly, if you’re writing an informative or educational post, MAKE SURE YOU FACT CHECK! Sorry for the all-caps, but I needed to make sure you read that. Fact-checking is extremely important for high-quality content.
-
Write about frequently asked questions in your niche
Think about or search for the most frequently asked questions related to your industry and answer those questions in as much detail as possible. This can be done as a blog post, a how-to guide, a tutorial, a fact and false thread, etc. Don’t forget to check your facts and provide links to reliable sources. This is good for SEO and your reputation!
It’s good to switch up the format of your content depending on what makes the most sense for the topic. In other words, you wouldn’t write a 2000-word article on a question that can be answered with a few bullet points and facts.
Ask your audience
One way to come up with blog topics is to ask your audience. Ask them what they want to know, and how they would like to see it written. This can help you determine the direction of your blog posts and give you an idea of what type of content they would prefer.
Another option is to look at the feedback that other people have given on previous posts. If someone has commented on something specific in one of your articles, consider writing about that topic again or expanding on it further.
Use Google search trends to find related topics
Google Trends is a free tool that shows you the most popular searches over time. You can see what people are searching for in different countries, or in different languages. You can also see how popular a topic is over time and what people are searching for right now.
Ask yourself, “What do my customers want to know?”
When you’re looking for blog topics for your business, it’s important to listen to your customers. Think about what they want to know and what they are struggling with.
Ask yourself:
- What would I want to know if I was a customer?
- What would my customers like me to teach them?
- What are common questions about my product/service?
- What are some pain points my customers are facing?
