The hardest part about blogging is coming up with plenty of ideas for content. Brainstorming and becoming good at it can take a bit of work. Lucky for you I’ve spent the last year coming up with over 200 blog post ideas in 9 popular blogging niches.
Filling out a content calendar is one of the tedious tasks of blogging, but a content calendar is necessary to keep you on a posting schedule.
Google, Pinterest, Facebook, and almost every other marketing platform wants new content. Posting new content regularly on your blog is necessary to continued growth.
How Often To Post Content
This really depends on where you are at in your blogging journey. I already have over 200 posts on my blog so I only post once a week to my blog.
However, in the beginning, I was posting like crazy. For the most part I did 3 times a week but there were times where I posted more.
I did 30 posts in 30 day challenges and sometimes I did 10 posts in 10 days challenge. A lot of interesting things happen during these challenges.
First, the traffic boost. Whenever I do a content challenge like this about 2 months later I start seeing a spike in traffic on those posts. If you don’t have a lot of content on your site already the spike will be smaller, but if you already have 50 or 100 posts that spike is going to grow.
Second, the challenges really get your brain moving. You’re constantly on the lookout for content you can write that compliments previous content you’ve already written or are currently working on.
Finally, the 30 day content challenge helps to put you in the habit of writing every single day. This is crucial. Your job as a blogger is to write. Sure there is marketing and technical aspects of blogging but your main job is to produce content. The challenges get you writing every day.
Make Your Content Relatable
Keep your content relatable. You are solving a specific problem for your reader, so make it relatable. You want your content to build trust with your audience. It’s about them and solving their problems, by sharing how you solved your own.
Often people try to say to keep it about your audience, this is true but it’s not all about them. It’s about understanding their problem and relating to the specific needs of your audience by being relatable to them.
Take this post for example, your most likely here because your feeling a creative block on your blog. Looking for blog post ideas is the first step to breaking through that block. I understand that block this block is being written because it’s a post that you and I can come back for inspiration.
By understanding your problem, relating to you and that problem, and having a solution to that problem you feel heard and are likely to trust what I have say. This is because I relate to your specific problem.
Now that you know how often you should post and what makes your content great now we can get into these 200 post ideas.

Even if there are popular posts like these already out there there is a reason for it. Put your own spin on already popular posts in your niche and you can also get loads of traffic to your site. Don’t try to rewrite the blogging game, you’ll put yourself through a lot of undo stress.

When you are finished writing your blog posts it’s time to dive deep into marketing them. This is where social media comes into play.
