How to Come Up With Even More Blog Post Ideas

Have you used all these ideas already? Want to know how to come up with your own? Here are a few strategies for brainstorming your own great ideas.

1. Figure Out What You Want to Achieve

I’m always really surprised when people start new blogs without some long term goal in mind. Do you want to make $100k a year? Do you want to get your business some new clients? Do you want to just practice your writing?

Figure out your goals and your target audience first.

Once you do, it’ll be clear what you should be writing about.

2. Start With Your Passions

I think the best thing as a beginner is to start with a topic that you’re passionate about, even if you aren’t a complete expert on it.

The reason I say this is because it is really hard to maintain motivation to do “the boring stuff” when you don’t care about the topic. Find something you love and explore that topic with your readers.

This is why fashion blogs tend to do so well – you don’t need to be an expert to succeed, just share your style.

3. Research the Competition

One great way to come up with blog post ideas is to take a good look at your competition and see if you can do anything better than them.

In a world of many billions of blogs, you need to stand out from the competition.

Tweet This

You don’t really need to be 100% original, but you do need to find a way to be different and distinctive. In a world of many billions of blogs you need to stand out. You could even ask your competitors to participate on your blog!

So keep an eye on what your fellow bloggers are working at, their style of presentation, the topics they cover, and their content in general.

4. Break Your Routine

One of the most amazing advantages of blogging is that you don’t have to restrict yourself on a desk. You can blog from anywhere.

Use that to your advantage. If you feel stuck trying to come up with blog post ideas, just head out to a place of your liking and give your brainwaves a boost.

5. Remember Your Purpose

I don’t want to get all mushy here but I’ve found that the most important thing to remember when you run a blog is to try and help people.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget that the thousands of hits that your website gets is made up of real life human beings.

Each of them is looking for a solution to a problem.

If you really try to pour your heart and soul into helping them discover a solution you will find that your content becomes better quality and your readers become more interested in hearing from you.

And, at the end of the day, even if you don’t become rich and famous you can still say that you helped a few people get through the day.
