50 Blogging Ideas for You
This article was the top engaged blog post of the week at BlogEngage.
The hardest thing about blogging is coming up with fresh, new content. It’s really easy to run out of things to blog about if you have no ideas.
Obviously this is detrimental to any blogger who wants to make money without needing payday loans to survive because it is important that you publish new posts frequently – twice a week at the very least – to keep readers interested and earn search engine love.
If you’re feeling stuck, here is a list of 50 blogging ideas that are sure to inspire you to come up with new content for your blog. Most of the ideas can be used more than once, so you won’t run out of blog posts for months to come.
1. Special events – Relate your blog topic to special events such as the Olympics or World Cup, national day such as the Independence Day, or holidays such as Halloween or Christmas.
2. News – Subscribe to Google News Alert on your keywords and write about the latest news in your niche.
3. Do a good review on a book.
4. Respond to a post on another blog in a niche similar or related to yours and give it an interesting twist and angle.
5. Write about your blogging milestones, such as publishing your 99th post, getting your 1000th comment, etc.
6. Blog about a hero or rock star in your niche who has made a positive contribution to the industry.
7. Join blog memes such as “Wordless Wednesday”. There’s at least one for every day of the week!
8. Do a product review and collect some affiliate income in the process.
9. Write a short Q&A based on frequently asked questions in your niche.
10. Write an interesting response to a comment on your blog and make it a blog post.
11. Predict trends in your niche 1 year, 5 years or even 20 years down the road.
12. Look back and write about how your niche was like in the past. Or you can write about past events that have influenced your niche.
13. Write top tips on any topic of interest to your readers.
14. Do a “best of” list … Compile a list of your best posts for the year.
15. Organize a contest for your blog readers, or make a list of contests your readers can join.
16. Write about what you have learned from a current event, a person you met, or an experience you had.
17. Define terms that are commonly used in your niche but a beginner may not understand
18. Do an announcement not amounting to a review of a new product relevant to your niche. This is another good opportunity to drop in some affiliate links.
19. Ask your readers what they would like to know about your niche and let them post their questions in the comments section.
20. Questions follow up – Summarize the comments from #19 in another post.
21. Questions follow up series – Write a separate blog post tackling each question from #19.
22. Interview somebody successful and knowledgeable in your niche.
23. Compile a big list of various resources, just like this one. The bigger the better!
24. Put up a brief survey online and blog about the results.
25. Be provocative and challenge a common belief or widely accepted idea in your niche.
26. Discuss new ideas in your niche you have come across lately.
27. Embed a funny, moving or insightful video onto your blog and comment on it.
28. Create your own video, publish it on YouTube and embed on your blog. This way, you can attract traffic from YouTube to your blog.
29. Scour the net for freebies that your readers will love. Or create a freebie of your own, such as a checklist or special report. Blog about your find or offer.
30. Use a personal story to illustrate an important concept or principle in your niche.
31. Check out relevant articles in article directories such as Ezine Articles… but don’t publish them entirely on your blog. Instead, use an article or a group of articles as your take-off point for a blog post or a series,
32. Create a post with links to other blogs. Some bloggers set aside one day a week to publish a list of the best blog posts on their niche.
33. A picture is worth a thousand words. Search Flickr for creative commons pictures that your readers will like.
34. Look through Digg for hot topics in your niche
35. Write a post that examines what’s good and bad about something related to your blog topic
36. Respond to relevant questions you find in Ask.com
37. Invite another blogger to write a guest post for your blog
38. Invite blog subscribers to submit an article or post to be published on the blog
39. Write a motivational post for your readers.
40. Update an old post with fresh ideas, new learning and current research findings.
41. Beginner’s guide – What do beginners in your niche struggle with? Write a post to guide them through it.
42. Make a list of the best ___ in your niche.
43. Make a list of the worst ___ in your niche.
44. Think of new innovative ways your readers can use gadgets and other stuff.
45. Write about a live event that you attended and what you learned from it.
46. Bribe your readers with a freebie in exchange for subscribing to your newsletter or RSS feed.
47. Describe and compare how people in different countries do something related to your niche.
48. Relate the month or season to your blog topic.
49. Join or host a blog carnival, where several publish posts about the same topic on the same day.
50. Host a virtual “conference” on your blog and invite “speakers” to publish their posts on a specified date and time. The Q&A happens in the comments section.
I hope that my tips will help you generate a steady flow of fresh content.

This is an excellent list of ways to produce new ideas. I’m always looking or thinking about new ways to produce unique and fresh content.
Thanks so much
This is a great list, but I have to keep asking why so many people are apparently trying to blog, when they have nothing they really want to say???
Why not do something else?
Aldric – Hi Alison, thanks for your comment. It’s actually meant to stimulate ideas, not squeeze the brain lol.
Amazing! I never had problems bringing a topic to my blog, but that gives me different points of view (and blogging) and new ideas.
Great work, Aldric.
Hi Aldric –
This is quite a list! I think the real value is that someone can read this and find ideas that they may not have come up with themselves. Or, even better, one can read this and think of new ideas that are not even there. Have a great day!
Great tips! number 27 reminded me of another method I came across and really liked – using a favorite film or character analogy for a post. For example, this post http://bit.ly/74BlAT that integrates ideas and quotes from Princess Bride.
Hi Alison, thanks for your comment. It’s actually meant to stimulate ideas, not squeeze the brain lol.
Hi Mark, thanks for your kind words. I’ve since improved on the writing a bit and will be doing more large lists like this
Hi Omar, thanks for your comments. I’ve checked out your recent post on image optimization too and it’s very helpful.
