Start with something BORING
This idea may seem weird but hear me out! Starting with something you find boring when writing a post can make people intrigued and want to read your post. Think of a topic you find boring (perhaps homework or something else) then use your writing style to make it exciting! Giving people tips on how to have fun with a topic you find boring will draw them in and make them want more.
Ask yourself what you would like to read
Think of you! What type of post would keep you hanging on every word? Wanting more? Well start here! Whatever your passion is: cooking, drawing, writing, whatever-make a post about it! You could probably go on about it in real life for AGES so why not create a post that shows off your hobbies? Your personality should radiate from the reader's screen making it a better post!
Take a look at blog post ideas-then don't use the ideas
This certainly sounds strange since it seems totally illogical, but I do this often. I think to myself 'hey I haven't made a post in a while, better look for some inspiration' so I trawl through some blog post ideas before leaving without doing any of the ideas suggested. However, this time wasn't wasted! Oh no! I really do get inspired by these posts but none of the ideas jump out to me. Why? Because they'e not from me, they're not my style. But, I do 'recycle' the ideas. What I mean by this is that I see an idea and add to it to make it my own! Perhaps I'll see see a generic idea then decide to put my own spin on it to make it unique.
If you still need some ways to come up with blog post ideas after the more creative ideas...here are my extra little tips for you:
.Take a look at this blog post generator for ways to start your blog post titles
.Keep reading blogs (especially ones that write about similar topics) to get inspired
.Take a look at your stats to see your most popular posts then write new posts inspired by them
.Ask your readers for ideas, after all, they're the ones reading(but don't do their idea if you don't want)
.Keep a blogging notebook to write your own ideas for posts and keep any notes that inspire you
So I hope this post has inspired you to get creative when coming up with blog post ideas and has given you a few extra ideas to help you along. Let me know your best tips for blogging down in the comments!
PS: Yes I took the picture at the the top of this post and edited it in picmonkey!
PPS: I just changed the template of my blog for Spring, hope you like it!
This was such a good post, you've obviously worked hard on it! And I'm LOVING your new blog design, the cherry blossom is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you El! I tried to write pretty much what was in my head this time to show my writing style, so I'm glad you appreciated it! :D Thank you! I was looking around for floral backgrounds but then I thought blossom would be great. Especially cherry blossom (since it's on the front cover of Cherry Crush, one of my fave books); I see blossom all over trees in Spring! :)
Deletegreat post, Megan! Loved it. I had no idea that there were blog post generators!xx
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Beth! I didn't know either until recently, they come in handy every now and then to spark an idea. :D
DeleteThis is so helpful! And these tips are fantastic - I'll try them out. :D Asking yourself what you'd like to read definitely is a helpful idea. I'm really inspired by your blog and the things you post! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe picture is awesome! I love how you edited it!
And the new background looks beautiful - cherry blossom is a perfect idea for spring! :D
(Btw, thank you SO much for the giveaway prize! The gifts are lovely! :D I'll colour in the colouring pages and post the result. ^^)
I'm so glad it was helpful. :) I really took my time to write this one! Thank you very much Kenza (you also really inspire me :D)! Thanks again, I thought I would make the colours in the photo really pop! I thought the delicate pastels in the background were great for Spring!
DeleteYou're very welcome! It was really fun to write a letter that you would see! That would be lovely! I'm planning a post about colouring so I might post my finished colouring page with fish, on the post. That way we can compare our colouring of the same page! :D
PS: I chose the letter writing paper because I knew you liked Kung Fu Panda (therefore I chose a panda)-so cute! =^U^=
You're most welcome! :D (Aw thanks! <3) That's a cute addition!
DeleteI know right? It's funny to think that you actually had the letter at one point and now I have it. XD Okay great! I'll colour in mine this holiday I think. That would be awesome!
Haha you know me too well! XD I love it! The panda is adorable! ^^ Thank you! <3
