We all have burn out. Writing so many blog posts day in and day out can make anyone feel like a wrung out dishrag. If you are empty of new ideas and dreading having to rehash the same old topic for your next blog pots, then check out these smart ideas. Here are some new topics for you to write on that can be spun to fit nearly any blog topic. Take a look and see what you can use in your blog:
- Food - Did you know that a Sauroposeidon’s stomach was the size of a swimming pool? Everyone is running around on an empty stomach and wanting to fill it up! Use that to your advantage by writing food based blog posts. From recipes to restaurant reviews,tasty diet tips or ways to make meals on the cheap, there is always something to write about with food. You can even integrate technology by telling about the latest kitchen gadget or iPad app to help you chop, grill and bake. Include images to make the blog posts pop on Pinterest and other social media sites.
- Love – Did you know that a twenty second hug releases the hormone Oxytocin, which can make someone trust you more? Love, romance and relationships are the foundation of society. Everyone is either in love, looking for love, or heartbroken. Write about your experiences or just general topics like dating websites or great places to visit on your honeymoon. It does not matter if you are married, divorced, widowed or single; you have something you can write about. From disaster stories to humorous mishaps to passionate tales of successful or unsuccessful romance, there is always an audience for a great love story.
- Space – Did you know that astronauts have a patch of Velcro inside their space suit helmets so that they can scratch their nose? Space travel is a huge hot topic right now. With NASA on the way out and private enterprises popping up right and left, space is on everyone’s mind again. The recent near space jump has the social media world abuzz, so use that energy and write something timely. From weird facts to conspiracy theories to technological marvels brought to you via the space program, there is a multitude of great blog post topics to be had in this category.
- Work – Did you know that in the 1800s, feeding lobster to workers or prisoners was considered cruel or unusual punishment equivalent to making them eat rats? Nowadays we would all love our employers to feed us lobster for lunch, but work life in general makes for great blog post topics. From the technology you use to the education you need to job seeking tips and resume help, there are many topics under this one. Work is a huge part of everyone’s life and any advice or warnings you can offer to help out are always appreciated. From keeping your boss off your Facebook page to getting along with that nosey co-worker, work is a constant struggle for balance and peace.
- Money – Did you know that in New York a police officer promised a waitress half of a lotto ticket as a tip? It turns out that the ticket was worth $3 million and he split it with her! While I hope we would all be as true to our word as that officer, money is a hot topic. Everyone wants to know how to save money, make money and spend money. With budgets as tight as they are now, money making and saving are very big blog post opportunities. Share your experiences and knowledge, tell about the latest deals, and see if you can’t help out. Talking about money is a guaranteed way to increase your traffic and readership and also offers real benefits to your readers!
- Health – Did you know that one of the doctors that claimed there was a link between vaccinations and childhood autism created fraudulent data for his paper and therefore lost his medical license? People take their health very seriously. Herbal remedies, exercise regimes, diet success, even healthy food choices all fall under the umbrella of health. There are many topics you can write about. From listing the best health blogs to medical resources to the best gyms or hospitals, u can always find a great topic to fit your blog. Be careful not to give medical advice without recommending they see a doctor, but do be sure to share your own health issues and what has worked for you.
- Social Media – Did you know that the Jell-O Company monitored the ratio of smiley to frowny emoticons on Twitter and released coupons whenever the Twittersphere was unhappy? It may seem ironic, but blogging about social media is a great way to get social media attention. Everyone loves to read about the latest happenings on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Tumblr and the rest. It is like an addiction! There are many ways you can approach the subject. You can offer business advice, like how to make money off of social media, or personal advice like how to not lose your job by Tweeting bad things about your boss. You can even talk about sports stars and celebrity mishaps on social media sites.
- Music – Did you know that Leo Fender, the inventor of Fender Guitars, never knew how to play the guitar? Music is everyone’s muse, and everyone loves a great post about music. From classical to classic rock, from pop to techno, there are so many varieties and variations of music that you could feature an entire blog around it. Or even around just one small part of it. Write about famous musicians, the latest indie hits, how techno is produced, what the suicide rates among singers is, or any other topic you can think of. Music is a great way to get new readers into your blog and keep old readers interested.
- Religion –Did you know that in 2009 Wikipedia banned the Church of Scientology from editing any articles? Religion can be a very controversial topic that is not suited for every blog. Some bloggers do not want that kind of fight on their hands, but this type of controversy means you get readers talking and that is always a good thing. Reader interaction is the Holy Grail of bloggers, so anything that gets them commenting, liking, sharing and more can only be positive. If you do not have an opinion, then stay unbiased. You will still get to hear both sides of the story, I am sure!
- Holidays – Did you know that Halloween has the second highest number of parties, after only New Years? Holidays make for great timely blog post topics. You can write on nearly anything and make it a holiday post. Decorating ideas, food recipes, party and drink concoctions, invitations, music selection, gifts, saving money on travel, apps to track Santa and more all fall under the holiday spirit. The best thing about holidays is that there is always another one around the corner. From New Year’s Eve to Independence Day, there is always something coming up to celebrate and write about!
