10 Resources For Blog Topic Ideas Blog post location: http://bonniecribbs.com/2013/06/18/10-powerful-resources-for-blog-topic-ideas/# Jenni's Blog Every Day In May The awesome and wonderful Jenni from The Story of My Life did a challenge in May called Blog Every Day In May and you can find 31 incredible ideas from her daily post calendar. I still want to ask her how much her traffic has increased with that challenge. It definitely lit up the blog world! You'll find 31 topics to blog about in her list, which should help you generate even more topics to write about. Books You Have Read Do you read personal development books, or books about your industry, or even books on blogging? If so, share what you learned. First you are the student, then you become the teacher. Simply take the lessons you learn from books, put them into practice and share the ideas and concepts in blog posts. Lists and How To's make excellent blog entries. You can even expand this idea and research books that are in your industry or niche' and then generate ideas about blog posts from those areas. Webinars You Have Attended blog-topic-ideas1 It's the same principal as above with blogging about what you have learned through online webinars and offline seminars you attend. Learn, practice, teach, share and blog. Break Down Post With List Have you written about topics that include a list, like this post? Break down the list and write about each of the key points or tips. It's taking a general topic and diving deep down and allows you to provide richer, fuller and more in-depth content. What You Learn From Other Blogs You Follow No, I am not saying steal their ideas or copy their post. But if you learn something, make it your own, enhance it and share it. Your blog has to be about you and your perspective and the value that you can share. Bloggers typically read a lot of other blogs - so what are you learning from other blogs? Recent News In Your Niche' What's happening in your industry? What is the big news? What's on the horizon? These make great blog topics and this idea provides a consistent and constant flow of ideas to write about. Google Keyword Search As you write your posts, it's always good to go to Google Keyword Search and utilize this amazing tool. As you are there, you are able to find other keywords to use in your post to help with your SEO. You'll also find other search terms that people are using to find just what you are writing about. The additional search terms provide great ideas of additional topics you can write about and the best news is you can see how frequently people are searching for just that term. Questions You Are Asked As you talk to people, what questions are you constantly being asked? If you continually hear the same questions over and over, most likely this will make an interesting post that people have already expressed an interest in learning more about. Like for me, people see my profile picture and instantly begin asking what life was like as a professional model. So writing about what life was like as a professional model and experiences within the modeling world would be something I could post about. Bazinga. What You Had For Lunch Bazinga again! Don't write about that unless you are a food blogger. And in that case you have an automatic source of inspiration every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Your Passions, Your Thoughts What are YOU passionate about? What thoughts do YOU have? What questions do YOU have? If you have these passions, thoughts and questions, feel confident the people you are trying to connect with have them as well. Share them. Write about them. BAM! You've got something to blog about. The Book Of Questions I love this book! It's a book totally made up of questions of every array you can imagine. As you find questions in it that resonates with you, write around that topic. Here is a link to this incredible book! OK, so that was actually a littl...
