10 Blog Post Ideas You Can Use Right Now
And
if you’ve got a favorite post type or template, let us know in the comments!
#1:The Beginner’s Guide to…
Even
if you’ve not been blogging in your niche for very long, you can write a
beginner’s guide. In fact, you’re in a great position to do so: you’ll be able
to remember all the questions you had when you were just starting out.
#2: How to…
One
very simple way to create a strong title is to start with the words “How to.”
When you plan your post, come up with 5 – 10 steps to take readers through the
process of accomplishing a particular task.
#3: 10 Tips and Tricks For…
Often,
you’ll have lots of good advice that readers can pick and choose from — it
doesn’t need to be followed step by step. In this case, a “tips and tricks”
post works well. Come up with 10 or so strong ideas, and make sure each one can
stand alone.
#4: The A-Z Guide To…
It
takes some work to put together an A-Z guide … but this sort of post can make a
fantastic resource for readers. You could write an A-Z guide for your whole
niche (e.g. “The A-Z Guide to Blogging”) or for an aspect of your niche (e.g.
“The A-Z Guide to Writing Great Content”).
#5: This [Week’s / Month’s] Best Posts On…
A
round-up post is a great way to establish your expertise: it shows that you’ve
got your finger on the pulse of what’s happening around the internet. By
collating great recent posts (perhaps from the last week or month), you also
point readers towards valuable resources.
#6: The Pros and Cons of…
Even
if you have a strong personal opinion about a particular issue, you might want
to present a balanced view. A “pros and cons” post can help do that — you give
readers the advantages, and then the disadvantages, of a particular
action/product/etc.
#7: How I …. And How You Can Too
This
type of post works really well whether you’re new to your niche, or an
established expert. Think of something you’ve accomplished that your readers
would love to do — and tell them how you did it. Make sure you include some
tips on how they can emulate your success.
#8:Seven Ways To…
This
is a bit like a how-to post with a twist: you’re offering a bunch of different
possible ways to do something. There’s often not a one-size-fits-all solution,
so help your readers explore different ideas and encourage them to try a new
technique.
#9: Review of…
Whatever
niche you’re in, there’ll be books, products, services, and even other blogs
that you can review. If there’s a major book or product coming out, get your
hands on it as soon as you can (you might even ask the publisher for an advance
copy) and let your readers know what you thought.
#10: What 5 Experts Say About…
Perhaps
you know your readers want a post about a particular topic — but you don’t feel
you know enough to write that post. Instead of trying to come up with the
content yourself, look at blogs, books, or articles to see what experts in your
field have said. (Make sure you attribute each quote.)

you have a favorite post type from the ones above… or a different idea to
suggest? Let us know in the comments!
