How to Brainstorm Blog Topics

So, you want to write a blog post, but you just can’t think of anything that really excites you to sit down and write about it. Well, one of the best things you can do to brainstorm an idea is to either go back through old photos you have taken any some trip or experience you had in the past. This is always an easy way to find someone you have done before that you could write about. It also helps to recall what happened on the day that you took that photo, so it becomes even more special.

Or maybe you have already written blogs about all of the interesting photos you have taken on vacations or road trips. Well, then maybe head into your kitchen and living room and look around at some of the items that are sitting right in front of you. Perhaps you would want to blog about the best kinds of television shows to watch or the best types of at-home seafood recipes. It sometimes becomes easy to forget that a blog can be about anything you want. And when I say anything, I mean anything in the world.

Get Inspired

Go outside and look around. If you see houses, maybe write about the best things to own in a home. Or maybe the best styles and architecture about houses. If you see trees and land, then write about the different types of wildlife that lives in your area and what it does. Maybe you recently saw a cool product in an ad while browsing the internet. Write about the potential of that product in your life and how it could affect daily life.

Something really easy to get your mind in the mood for a good, quality blog post is to listen to your favorite music. In fact, that is a simple topic right there. Compare music genres and decide on which one you like the most and write about why. Take a look around and notice the things all around you. What are you wearing? Write about the different styles of clothing you enjoy to wear and the benefits of wearing it.

How to Start Brainstorming

If you find yourself still without something to write about, then go ahead and write about why you can’t think of writing about something. At this point, something should pop into your head and give you the inspiration to write about that topic. After all, blog posts are all about inspiration. Think of a topic that really interests you and write about it. Writing about something that bores you won’t do you any good, as it will just be a pain to write and most likely sound boring when you read it back. You always want to make sure that when you are brainstorming a topic, you are confident in what you are writing about and that you enjoy writing it.

Maybe go onto the news and look at what is trending. Find a trending topic and get it posted out there. Man, there are just so many options for writing blogs it just gets to be silly. Go through a different blog posting website and read what they have posted about. Maybe you could blog even better than they did if you know the topic really well. When you are thinking of different topics to write about, do not be afraid to write about something you are not super familiar with. It could really inspire you to do more research and learn more about that topic. Not only are you finding something to write about, but you are learning more about it as you go. That is one of the best things that blog topics can do for you. Not only are you writing something for others to read, but you are also learning more for yourself that can help you in later writing.

Finally, try writing a short story. Get your brain thinking about fictional things and write a nice story. Somewhere along in writing that story you should start to see a theme in your writing, depending on what kind of story you are writing about. Just go with the flow and keep writing, and eventually you will start to see a pattern. This pattern of words and phrases can be used to think of a new blog topic that will use the same types of phrases. Boom, just like that you have thought of a new topic just by writing something totally random. Brainstorming is not as brain intensive as many people make it out to be. Just start writing and see where it takes you.
