10 Killer Blog Post Ideas

#1. Ask Your Readers For Suggestions

No content is better than content that your readers want to see. You should be keeping a mailing list of your readers and have the mailing list software send out blog announcements (ie. email your readers when new blog posts are made). You may also use the mailing list software to make email broadcasts. In the email broadcast ask your readers what they would like to see posted.

Another idea would be to simply make your post a "Open MIC
day" where you allow your readers to ask you questions and
you and/or your readers can interact with each other via the
comment form.

#2. Expand on Your Existing Post

Look for an old post that you have made and see if there is
opportunity for you to expand or write a sequel to the post.

Sometimes it takes revisiting your old writings for your
brain to "see" something that didn't occur to you at the
time of writing.

#3. Trackback to Another Post

Go read another blog that you frequent, and if you see
something you like, trackback to it and share it with your
readers.

You can also expand on another blogger's post (idea #2).

#4. Give Something Away

If you are serious about branding your blog you should have
some "freebies" in stock - branded T-shirts, mugs, gifts,
DVD's, and other promotional items.

You could ask your readers (if they are also bloggers) to
trackback to your post in order to receive the item. This
helps build linking back to your post and possibly more
subscribers.

#5. Start a Debate

You could take a current event or a controversial topic and
start a debate on your blog post. Just make sure you open
up the commenting form.

#6. Share Your Laughter

Did you come across a funny joke, a funny video on YouTube?
Share it!

Your readers can use a good laughter from time to time.

#7. Fact Tells, But Story Sells

Tell your readers why you have started your blog if you
haven't already. Tell your readers an empiphany that you
had. Tell a moral story, whatever. People like to hear
stories, and it's nice to have one once in a while.

#8. Request for Guest Post

You may approach other bloggers who blogs similar topics as
you to guest blog. Other bloggers should have no trouble
understanding that this is mutually beneficial - You get
interesting content to your readers, and the other bloggers
get a link back to their blogs (as they should).

#9. Become a Guest Blogger

On the contrary, you can become a guest blogger for another
blog! Again, the benefits are mutual.

Your brain works in strange ways. As soon as you know that
you are writing not for your readers, it may become quite a
relieve and ideas and contents would just flow to you.

#10. Silence is Golden

Yeah, leave it for another day. No one says that you have
to make a post everyday!
