If you’ve found this article through search, chances are that you’re knee deep in the panic stages of wondering what to write about on your site. It’s a place we’ve all called our temporary home at least one time in our blogging careers. You, my friend, are not alone. So, what’s the solution for getting out of here and mustering up your writing mojo? It’s just all about getting ideas.
Getting Unstuck: Blog Topic Ideas
I’ve been blogging for a long time, but even with thousands of articles under my belt, I still get stuck. So, I’ve started keeping track of the ideas and topics that could pull me out of that writer’s funk and get the content juices flowing. In fact, I created a cheat sheet for myself, so that I could record when I used that starter or topic.
I have many different sites that I write on and for, so I keep one for each. If you only have one site that you write on – awesome! Just cycle through the ideas that apply to your field or audience a few times throughout the year. If you write for multiple sites, you can either spice things up and pick new angles for each article or write the same angle with different content for all of the sites before moving on to the next. Personally, I like to spice things up so that I don’t get bored, because boredom? Boredom leads to writer’s block. Not cool.
You can scroll below to read them, but then print out a free copy of the blogging topics here. While you’re checking that out, be sure to grab a copy of the free social media tracking sheet for 2017 too. Read more here about why it’s important to keep track of those social numbers.
No matter what topic or angle you decide to take, the best advice I can give you is to be authentically you. Write in your voice. Write like you’re talking to a friend. Because, at the end of the day, your readers should be people who you would call friends and who would be proud to call you their friend. Life is too short to just write content for SEO keywords. Write from your heart. Always.
Now, go download those blogging topic ideas and start writing. You’re going to do great!

You’re welcome, Candy! I’m a planner, so I need to keep track of which ones I’ve used or I’d probably write lists everyday! Ha! 😉 Thanks so much for stopping by!!
Those are some great ideas! Thank you! I’m struggling with coming up with a content schedule/plan for my blog to mix it ups since part of the purpose of my blog is to write things in addition to the traditional book review.
Hi Laura! You’re welcome! It can be challenging for sure! I hope the ideas helped! There’s so much you could write about around books and book reviews – and author interviews would be fabulous! Maybe contact some independent authors and see if they’d be willing to do some interviews? =) Thanks so much for stopping by and if I can be of any help, please don’t hesitate to contact me! =)

My blogging ideas tend to be feast or famine. I either have a list of all of the ideas floating in my brain or I cannot think of ANYthing! This list is great and will give me lots to nibble on during my “famine” phases. There is so much to do with this list!
Ha! I am so the same way, Brittany! If I don’t write them down during feast time, at famine time I’m frustrated! I’m glad you like the list! Thanks for being here!
Saving this!!! One of my goals for this month is to draft a few posts for weeknights when I feel too tired to write one! Having some on hand would be so helpful!
So glad it’s helpful for you, Divya! Thanks so much for stopping by!
These are great ideas! I am constantly stuck, even though I write out my posts at least two months ahead of time, I find myself constantly changing and wanting to add more, but then I never know what to add.
^^and holy run on sentence -_-
Thanks so much, Natasha! I understand that! You get that “I need to add more!” feeling and then blank out – been there, done that, still doing it sometimes! 😉 Thank you for stopping by!
I like your idea about writing about industry/niche myths. There are so many to write about, so it really is a winner!
Thanks so much, Kristin!
