Ways to Come Up with Unique Blog Ideas

No matter how you slice it, blogging takes time. And while most bloggers are passionate about their work and would gladly pour time into creating content for their blogs, what happens when the idea well runs dry? It's a scary place to be in - your blog, whether you are a blogger or business owner, or a consultant, blogging is a vital tool and if you can't come up with new ideas for posts then you risk losing readership.

The idea of coming up with blog ideas on a regular basis can be stressful and time-consuming. In this blog, we have shared some tips to get the creative juices flowing.

Ways to come up with Unique Blog Ideas include:

  • Brainstorm topics and keywords that relate to your niche and then try googling them for inspiration on what other bloggers have written about those topics. Check out what popular bloggerss are writing about (hint: don't use the same ideas), too. But, be careful not to copy their content verbatim.
  • Create a list of blog topics and keywords that you want to write about along with a few key sentences for each post. You can start by just creating a simple outline and then flesh it out more over time. After choosing a keyword related to your niche, write down 3 questions that elicit answers from readers, then make sure you answer 2 of the 3 in your post (this will help keep you focused).
  • Start with a broad topic, but narrow down the focus as you write. For example: you could start by writing about creating a successful blog but then narrow the scope to include just how to get traffic to your site.
  • Find something interesting that you can talk about, such as an upcoming trend, and make a few predictions about what that means for your industry.
  • Keep a list of ideas on the back burner to be used later. That way if you can't think of anything right now, you don't have to stress out over it because you've got some topics in mind that will work for your blog.
  • Look at successful blogs and find out what they write about that attracts so many readers. Then, brainstorm from there to come up with a few topics you could write about that would be similar in content but different enough in tone, voice and style to avoid getting sued for using someone else's idea.
  • Start with a headline and then work your way back from there. For example: if you have an idea for a post about how to select the right press release service provider, you could start with the headline that says something like "Stop this mistake before you waste thousands of dollars" or some other attention-grabbing statement. Then, add in the details to support that headline.
  • Look at a popular blog in your industry and see if you can come up with new angle on the topic (that they haven't written about). You could also look at a list of trending blogs for ideas. Or, just start brainstorming as many topics and keywords that relate to your niche as possible. Then, narrow down the list by choosing only a few that you really like or that you have not written about.
  • Read your blog posts out loud to see if you like how the ideas sound. If not, then move on to another idea (or add more details or use different wording).
  • Write down 10 things you love most about blogging before picking one of these items as an idea for a post.
  • Join an online forum in your niche and look for questions being asked by other people. Often, they'll have similar interests and will be looking for someone else who knows something about the subject so try offering them advice too by answering those questions on the forum.
  • Look at your blog stats and see which posts managed to attract the most readers, then hang on to those ideas.

Besides, you can use content marketing software like HubSpot's Blog Topic Generator or Buzzsumo's Content Analysis Tool to get some inspiration from articles that have been published on similar topics in the past year. It'll be hard not to find something relevant as these tools scan through thousands of sites each day!

If you're running a business, want to attract an audience (and get some leads), then you'll need to pick a topic that you can cover on a regular basis.

And remember, readers want to be informed but they also want to be entertained so try to balance useful information with something relevant and exciting for the readers.
