Sometimes Its difficult to decide a topic for blog post. To help you , here ia a list of 51 blog post ideas that will make your blog more interesting.
01. Run a contest: All I can say is that it gives great attention and new traffic to your blog.
02. Review books/products/films: Reviews deliver a
lot of value to your followers and people are constantly looking for
honest opinions, not the fake ones that the web is full of.
03. Make comprehensive guide/tutorial: If you’re a
professional in a field or know some topics extra well, feel free to
help the ones who have less skills and experience than you do. Tutorials
and guides help people a lot.
04. Interview someone: Know any
famous people who have great stories behind their work/life/career?
Interviews are extremely popular in two cases: a) you deliver an
interview with a famous person who speaks very rarely in public or b)
shares rally useful and practical tips and content.
05.Create a photo post: Share your
favorite photos from your niche or personal photos from your latest
traveling adventure. Keep in mind that if you’re not the author, always
give credit to the original photographer by providing a link.
06.Write inspirational/motivational post with famous quotes: People need little kicks to get going and get things done. Big things
start from small ones and motivational posts can do miracles. Here’s
one of the best quotes from Steve Jobs. “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else´s life.”
07. Share recent travel experiences: Travel blogs and posts are popular and there are people who earn
living solely from writing about their adventures. Sharing inspiration
and tips is very useful. In case you haven’t traveled for a while,
publish the best or worst experiences you’ve had in certain
countries/airline companies etc.
08. Write a short story: No previous experience with writing fiction? Publish your short story
(about 200 – 500 words) and ask your followers for feedback.
09. Create a list of something: People are lazy, they don’t want to waste time on searching and
gathering information. That’s the reason why lists are popular. Create
TOP10 or better yet: TOP100 lists, lists of movies, books, influential
people or any other topic.
10. Share your goals/dreams publicly: Write down
all your goals for the current year or dreams where you want to be in 5
years time. It gives nice pressure and motivation to achieve the goals.
11. Build your to-do list: There are many to-do list apps and services but try to publish your
tasks on your blog. Other people will have the opportunity to learn from
you. How you build your tasks, how broad or narrow they are etc…
12. Write a post in response to some recent post/news: In other words, it means being an opinion blogger or analyst. When
you manage to write high-level content on hot topics, your blog will
most probably be featured on major newspapers and websites.
13. Make a full case study about something: We covered tutorials already, but case studies reveal what and how
you’ve done and which are the results. This is extremely interesting for
many folks, especially for me.
14. Share your favorite blogs/bloggers in one post: It’s a bit similar to “Make a list” idea but sharing the blogs and
bloggers you follow is never a bad idea. Give the resources to your
readers, believe me, they are grateful and won’t stop following you.
15. Invite your readers to submit guest posts: Are you struggling with new posts or have to leave for some time? Ask
people to write guest posts. It’s a win-win situation, you get the
content, they can build up their name or brand.
16. Publish the best comments that your blog has got throughout the history: Are you using a vote system on your comments or just know the posts
where some comments have raised very fruitful discussions? Share them in
a separate post.
17. Tell a joke: That’s pretty straight forward, humor never gets old and great jokes are really entertaining.
18. Bust a myth: There are thousands of well-known things that actually are not true,
in other words they’re called myths. Take some time and do some research
to disprove some of them.
19. Produce or publish your art: Online galleries and portfolios look cool and can be the first step
to the world for artists. So publish your paintings, comics, graphical
design masterpieces and other stuff as well.
20. Publish a post about your success and epic failures: Being successful means doing mistakes or in other words failing. But
failing is not bad, it’s a learning experience to be better the next
time. So, that’s the reason why you should talk publicly about your
success and failures, to let others learn from it.
21. Ask your readers to tweet, like and share the posts they like: Spreading the word about your blog or posts is important but
sometimes people need a little extra kick to do that, so write a post
for that.
22. Write a post about things you regret doing/not doing: When you surf around Quora or Yahoo Answers, you’ll find many very
popular topics and posts about the things people regret doing and not
doing. Try to write down your own list.
23. Publish some little or unknown facts: The internet and different encyclopedias are full of facts, some of
them are really random. For example “Did you know that the
pink/red/white color of flamingos comes from the food they eat?”
24. Bring out the most important dates in history: Pick a country/war/invention/company and write down the important
dates of it, people love to get general but detailed overviews.
25. Tell about your latest event experiences: Visited a concert or a festival lately? Write a review about it.
26. Blog about marketing secrets: Tell your readers about your top secret strategies, techniques and tactics you use to get more followers and traffic.

29. Offer free help in your industry to get new contacts: Free help gives you great reputation and people will start sharing
your blog more often as well as suggesting to their friends. It helps to
grow into a branded expert.
30. Research and analyze a topic in your industry: Well
written and analyzed posts get great attention. Invest time and grow
your followers by that. Many professional bloggers write one post for
more than 12 working hours, they invest a lot of time to produce perfect
posts.
31. Answer to every single comment personally: Make
your readers feel special and honored. It takes only a couple of
minutes to answer them personally but you can get new friends,
co-authors or even business partners.
32. Write a longer “About Me” post: Classical About
Me posts are a couple of lines but introduce yourself more and write a
longer one. People like to know what’s the background of the content
they’re reading but they usually don’t have time to check LinkedIn
accounts or just Google the name.
33. Make a post about your most popular posts: Gather the data behind the most popular posts (traffic, shares and comments) and write them down in a single post.
34. Publish a “What If” post: Use your imagination and
write a post about what if you’re going to move to another country or
travel the world or win billion dollars. People love to dream and
believe that these things will happen to them.
35. Publish online courses/e-books: If you’re an
expert in your field, invest time in writing and publishing courses and
e-books. Create quality content and people are ready to buy it for nice
amount of money. When money is not an important aspect, publish the
content for free.
36. Write in your own everyday language/writing style:
Forget the well-known rules and use the expressions you use every day.
It’s a great way to make your posts ore enjoyable and stand out.
37. Share food recipes: Don’t know what to write about? Share the recipes of your favorite meals and desserts.
38. Ask for general feedback on your blog: Sometimes you can improve your blog by the way your readers want. Minor tweaks here and there can add value that can bring you more traffic and returning visitors.

40. Write about why you actually started blogging: Simply tell your followers how it all started…
41. Write the list of things and activities you want to do before death: Ever
seen the books in the bookstore called “1001 places to visit/foods to
eat/artists to listen before you die”? Build your own list and inspire
others to do that as well.
42. Write a series of blog posts: To make your readers constantly engaged with your blog then I suggest you to start a blog post series.
43. Create a list of online tools you find useful: There are literally dozens of tools that can make life a lot easier, create a list of the ones you use or would like to use.
44. Publish a post as an audio file (mp3): Write your
post and record it as an audio file. It allows the readers to follow the
blog on the go, all they need is an mp3 player or a smartphone.
45. Make list of useful & interesting people to follow in your niche: This is another “TOP” category post idea, list the useful people who provide great insights, these posts become viral quickly.
46. Questions and answers blog post: Make a “Questions Monday”. Promise to answer all the questions your audience has.

short summaries to bring out the most important aspects or points in
other published writings. Helps to save a lot of time for the readers
who are only looking for the most important information.
49. Criticize a website/blog or a person: The web and blogs are great for discussion, opinions and criticizing.
Nevertheless, if you are brave enough to say some crispy words about
someone, make sure your text has strong arguments and is based on real
facts. Random ranting is pointless.
50. Tell a personal secret: We all have our dreams as
well as secrets. Sharing them publicly gives very engaging content to
the followers. As much as people love rumors, they love to know the
dirty little secrets of other people.
51. Write a blog post about top10 or top100 about something: Write down top 10 or 100 list about any topic.
This is not everything. You can use your own ideas and imagination for your blog post. All the best and Happy Blogging...
