134 good blog post ideas

Things to blog about

1. Run a contest

I’ve run blog contests on this site before, and all I can say is that it gives great attention and new traffic to your blog.

2. Review books/products/films

Reviews deliver a lot of value to your followers, and people are constantly looking for honest opinions, not the fake ones that the web is full of.

3. Make a comprehensive guide or tutorial

If you’re a professional in a field or know some topics extra well, feel free to help the ones who have fewer skills and experience than you do. Tutorials and guides are great blog post ideas and provide a lot of value, which can help drive traffic and convert followers. As an experienced blogger, I teach others how to start a blog and maintain it.

4. Interview someone

Know any celebrities or people who have great stories behind their work/life/career? Interviews are extremely popular in two cases: a) you deliver an interview with a famous person who rarely speaks in public or b) your shares rally insanely useful and practical tips and content.

Interview someone

5. Post a cool infographic

Infographics help to visualize complicated data, and they’re hugely popular these days as blog content ideas. As always, when something becomes mainstream, the overall quality is poor. So, if you’re not a designer, hire one to get a viral infographic that stands out from the crowd.

6. Criticize a website/blog or a person

The web and blogs are great for discussion, opinions and criticizing. Nevertheless, if you are brave enough to say some crispy words about someone, make sure your text has strong arguments and is based on real facts. Random ranting is pointless.

7. Make a post full of GIFs

GIFs are the symbol of online entertainment and humor. There are thousands of GIFs and generators that help to produce new ones. See example: Linkbuilding in GIFs

8. Create a photo post

Share your favorite photos from your niche or personal photos from your latest traveling adventure. Keep in mind that if you’re not the author, you should always give credit to the original photographer by providing a link.

9. Tell a personal secret

Blog secretWe all have our dreams as well as secrets. Sharing them publicly gives very engaging content to the followers. As much as people love rumors, they love to know the dirty little secrets of other people.

10. Write inspirational/motivational post with famous quotes

People need little kicks to get going and get things done. Big things start from small ones, and motivational blog posts can do miracles. Here’s one of the best quotes from Steve Jobs: “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else´s life.” Here are some tips for using quotes in your posts.

11. Share recent travel experiences

Another popular blog post idea is to create travel blogs and posts. There are actually people who earn a living solely from writing about their adventures. Sharing inspiration and tips from your adventures is very useful to your audience, whether you’re in the travel industry or not.

In case you haven’t traveled for a while, publish the best or worst experiences you’ve had in certain countries/airline companies/etc.

12. Host a giveaway

Have you ever wondered why products like GoPro become more and more popular with each day? They do giveaway campaigns regularly. People love free stuff, and taking advantage of that helps you reach new audiences.

13. Write down a conspiracy theory

conspiracy
Have you heard all the crazy (and not so crazy) theories behind important events and people? Now it’s time to start a new one; let your imagination free, or simply share your opinions about the known ones.

14. Show log files of intense conversations

Who doesn’t like to read log-files that are somewhat offensive?

15. Write a short story

No previous experience with writing fiction? Publish your short story (about 200 – 500 words) as a unique blog idea, and ask your followers for feedback.

16. Sing a song

Great artists and singers are not born overnight. First, they’ll have to discover their talent. Find your new hobby or passion in music and turn it into a wonderful blog post idea.

17. Create a list of something

People are lazy. They don’t want to waste time on searching and gathering information. That’s the reason why lists are popular blog topics. Create a TOP10, or better yet, a TOP100 list. Lists of movies, books, influential people, or any other topic can easily generate buzz.

18. Write down all the thoughts you had in mind today

This is a pretty mindful one, but if you are bored, then you can try this method as well for another blog content idea.

19. Share your goals/dreams publicly

Write down all your goals for the current year or dreams where you want to be in 5 years time. It gives nice pressure and motivation to achieve the goals, and it will excite your loyal followers, and it might give you even more good blog ideas too!

20. Make a link carnival and ask others to join

All sorts of link carnivals and linky parties are becoming very popular.

21. Announce that you’ve turned the comments into “do-follow” links

You will probably get 50% more comments with this on. However, the downside of this technique is that you might receive a lot of “spam” blog comments that you have to deal with as well. Got to take the rough with the smooth on this one.

22. Build your to-do list

There are many to-do list apps and services, but try to publish your tasks on your blog. Other people will have the opportunity to learn from you. How you build your tasks, how broad or narrow they are, etc. can all be helpful to your audience.

23. Write a post in response to a recent post or news

In other words, become an opinion blogger or analyst. When you manage to write high-level content on hot topics, your blog can be featured on major newspapers and websites.

24. Make a full case study about something

We covered tutorials already, but case studies reveal what you’ve done, how you’ve done it, and what the results are. These can be interesting blog topic ideas. This is extremely interesting for many folks, especially for me.

25. Share your favorite blogs or bloggers in one post

It’s a bit similar to the “Make a list” idea, but sharing the blogs and bloggers you follow is never a bad blog post idea. Give the resources to your readers; believe me, they are grateful and won’t stop following you.

26. Invite your readers to submit guest posts

guest blog
Are you struggling with blog topic ideas or have to leave for some time? Ask people to write guest posts. It’s a win-win situation; you get the content, and they can build up their name or brand.

27. Publish the best comments that your blog has received throughout its history

Are you using a voting system on your comments or just know the posts where some comments have raised very fruitful discussions? Share them in a separate post.

28. Share your blogs income & traffic numbers

Blog incomeProve that a blog in your niche can have reasonable traffic numbers and maybe even be profitable. Bring Google Analytics data to daylight and it’s very nice if you provided some analysis on important points, for example, a major change in traffic numbers, etc. Pat Flynn has done that, why don’t you?

29. Tell a joke

That’s pretty straight forward. Humor never gets old, and great jokes are really entertaining.

30. Bust a myth

There are thousands of well-known things that actually are not true. In other words, they’re called myths. Take some time and do some research to disprove some of them. If your followers love it, feel free to become a MythBuster.

31. Produce or publish your art

Online galleries and portfolios look cool and can be the first step to the world for artists. So publish your paintings, comics, graphical design masterpieces, and other creations as well.

32. Publish a post about your success and epic failures

Being successful means making mistakes (or in other words: failing). But failing is not all bad. It’s a learning experience that allows you to be better the next time. So, that’s the reason why you should talk publicly about your success and failures, to let others learn from it.

33. Ask your readers to tweet, like, and share the posts they like

Spreading the word about your blog or posts is important, but sometimes people need a little extra kick to do that, so write a post for that.

34. Start a poll

When you surf around Quora or Yahoo Answers, you’ll find many very popular blog topic ideas and posts about the things people regret doing and not doing. Try to write down your own list.

This blog post idea is similar to posting random quotes just to produce some content, but it can really spark a discussion, even if the question is rhetorical.

Awesome imageSometimes you can and SHOULD post images that tell us a story. It does not only grab attention and increase your visitors average time spent on the blog, but it’s also extremely interesting.

The Internet and different encyclopedias are full of facts, some of them really random. For example “Did you know that the pink/red/white color of flamingos comes from the food they eat?” You can gather those facts in your own post to generate buzz.

39. Publish an In Memorian post

It’s polite and respectful to commemorate the people who pass away.

    Great post Karen, this post made me inspired on making a blog. I’ve been observing several youtube Vlogs (video blogs) and I plan to make a web blog soon.

  13. Hi Karen, this is a great list of blogging ideas, thanks – it’s even more impressive that you’ve managed to increase the suggestions from 101 to 135! I’ll be printing it to use as a checklist.

  14. Hello Karen, I stumbled across your site through a Google search. I was immediately intrigued by your 101 list for things to blog.

    I have been wanting to get into blogging but have been having a hard time deciding how to go about it. I have aspirations to be a novelist but am really just looking for a way to get recognition.

    I hear that focusing your blog is important if you want to be taken serious. I love all your ideas but is that aimed at people who are just blogging for fun? If I want to go a more professional route, would I still be able to do this? I would really like to make money from this one day. Would having 2 blogs be beneficial so I can have a professional account and a fun account?

    Lastly, I have been contemplating sharing story ideas and excerpts from a novel I’ve been, very slowly, working on. I’m afraid of people stealing my ideas though. Is this a legitimate concern?

    If you too the time to read this, then I really appreciate it. Any response would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Best Wishes

    1. Hey Mace,

      I’d suggest you to stick with one blog. It can start out as a fun/hobby, but if you want to go more professional route then you can always do that. Make sure you start out with self-hosted WordPress – in that way you can avoid the problems while migrating.

  15. Wow.. I spent at least 10 minute for your breakdown. Especially for #90 Make 404 page that is a game, that’s extremely helpful. Thanks for the idea.

Would you be able to post links to a post that was successful? For example, #29, tell a joke. Wouldn’t that be a really short post? Can you talk more about how to implement all these wonderful suggestions?

  24. At this time it sounds like Movable Type is the preferred blogging platform out there right now.

  27. You’d want to be super careful with number 8- sharing other people’s pictures without permission is a breach of copyright and you can find yourself in all sorts of trouble including being fined etc!! Dangerous advice!!

    Thank you sharing such a valuable and useful information in your blog. I like this one. It is very interesting.

  39. This is absolutely great. I wanted to simply just “write more” this year and pick up my dusty blog up from the cemetery of 2013, and had some struggles of what to write about. Thank you for this wonderful list!

  40. Thanks for sharing your ideas. it is a really great post. I found the best ideas and will sit and start work on writing the blog posts for my website.

  41. Ahrefs
    While we’re on the topic of SEO, I wanted to mention Ahrefs. Ahrefs is a tool that allows you to do keyword research to ensure you’re targeting the best keywords with the highest traffic and lowest difficulty to rank for.
    While this tool isn’t free or cheap, they do offer a free two-week trial. Alternatively, you can use their competitors like Moz or SEMrush (who also have free trials, hint hint). Whichever one you choose, if you’re serious about ranking on Google, I highly recommend a keyword research tool. Without them, you only have access to Google Keyword Planner, which doesn’t really help you find the right keywords.
