10 Easy Ways to Discover Great Blog Topics

Stumped on what to write about? It’s easy to get stuck in a writing block when it comes to your blog. And not knowing what to write about only makes the process of generating great posts even more difficult. Finding ways to come up with engaging topics can help you write faster while still creating the quality content your readers expect.

Here are ten easy tricks for discovering great blog topics:

  1. Brainstorm using pen and paper. Free writing can be very helpful in breaking the creative block. Simply write whatever words or phrases come to mind until you find one that sticks.
  2. Use a blog topic generator like this one from Portent. Enter a few keywords and many different ideas are generated immediately.
  3. Take a peek at your past posts. Is there a fresh perspective you can give on a topic you already wrote about?
  4. Read current industry news. Discover out what people are talking about and write about that.
  5. Browse Pinterest to find out what’s hot. Find the most pinned posts in your niche and expand upon them.
  6. Find a strategy for saving good ideas when they pop into your head. Write them in a notebook or save them on your phone for future use.
  7. Ask your readers what you should write about. Discovering more about what they would like to learn can be a great way to engage your audience.
  8. Look at the calendar. Holidays and seasonal changes make for great content prompts. Use them to create more timely pieces.
  9. Revisit your most popular posts. These pieces represent the topics your readers found most interesting. Change the scope of them to make the content fresh and new.
  10. Do a keyword search for the most sought-after topics in your industry. Take those keywords and write engaging posts highlighting them.

    Grand Marketing Solutions has been very effective for us. They are the right size firm with the right mix of talents. They spruced up our logo, redesigned our web site, printed new literature, and worked smoothly with our people.
    - Bill
    Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

    We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
