25 Best Blogging Ideas To Keep Your Readers Coming Back For More

Have you ever experienced the so-called "writer's block" while trying to come up with new ideas to blog about? Those dry spells can be tough when you just can't seem to think of anything to write about.


I have come up with a list of 25 blogging ideas and tips I have found will ward off that annoying writer's block. Here goes:

Review a product. Who doesn't like to find out if a product is worth the money or not? Let your audience have a sneak peek.
Expand on a comment left on your blog. Comments can spark great discussion and even better blog posts!
Give a tip list. Just like this one. They are helpful and useful.
Do an interview. Find an expert in your niche, interview them, and either put the interview in it's entirety as a post or break it up into several posts.
Run a contest.
Conduct a poll.
Use a guest blogger. This is one of the easiest ways to ignore "writer's block." Get someone else to blog for you!
List a few of your favorite websites and tell why you like them and why your readers will too.
Give reasons you like social media (or not!)
Write about someone who inspires you.
Do a how-to video. These are becoming more and more popular. You are essentially creating a tutorial for your readers.
Grab a news headline and relate it to your niche.
Solve a problem.
Do a Q & A. You might even get the questions from the comments on your blog!
Share your experience from a live event.
List your favorite books.
Recommend your favorite blogging tools. If you're a blogger, you've got them. Share.
Share your recent challenges. Sharing something you have had to overcome helps others reach their goals too.
Reveal a failure. This does two things. It makes you very "real" to your reader and it also helps them not make the same mistake.
List upcoming live events with dates, time, and place.
Have a good rant. Controversy never hurt anyone. In fact, a little controversy will bring more readers to your blog. Nobody wants to read vanilla and bland blogs on a regular basis!
List your most popular blog posts (anyone noticing the theme of "lists?" )
Share how you monetize your blog.
