Ways to find blogging ideas
This is not as hard as it sounds and in fact when you have an interesting niche that interests you the rest is easy.
Every niche is made up of little jigsaw pieces that just need reconstruction, however just like the real game you need to get out all the pieces to start the game.
Let's pick one of the following,
The most profitable blog niches for 2022
- Digital marketing.
- Blogging and making money online.
- Health and fitness.
- Personal finance and investing.
- Recipes and food.
- Personal development and self-care.
Recipes and food are a very broad niche and need to be bought down to little chunks or pieces.
First of all what sort of food? let's say cakes as a smaller niche. So what would you do with cakes?
- Big or small
- Party, kids, restaurant
- Sponge, Apple, fruit, chocolate, Ice cream, and on with a long list
- How to mix, how to cook. cooking time, oven temperature
- Cake tins, shapes. ingredients
- Icing, covering, thick-thin and with toppings
Next, pick a niche and take it apart.
Cooking time;
| In what country | and or what type of cake |
| Types of ovens | Gas, Wood, Electric |
| Slow cooking | Fast and furious |
| Mixing | By hand or beater |
| Burnt or undercooked | Cleaning up |
Cleaning up
- Why do kids love to lick the spoons
- Removing residue from cake tins
- Best products to soak tins in
- Using cake scraps to make tasty appetizers
- Storing cake tins in the Winter
Again these can be broken down further into smaller subjects or tiles that can be a whole essay on their own.
Write down as many as you can and you have a whole list of titles to write about for months to come.
The next thing is to get your keywords in order.
Satisfying Google and keeping your readers on the page
Google search is now ranked by reader intent using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and not by exact match keywords. Therefore you need to satisfy what the normal person would ask in a search term to get to the top of the class.
However, Bing and Yahoo still use exact match Keywords so it is a threesome that you are playing with.
Here you can use a Keyword tool or do a Google search and see what others are looking for.
Take spoon licking as an example, there are many answers in a Google search and I list just two as an example.
These are popular writing but without a lot of traffic so a bit of research may find a better way.
However, you should now see the jigsaw broken down into easy chunks to write about.
Think like a reader and answer like a writer
One way to do this is to imagine you are with friends and the discussion comes around to cooking cakes. One of your audience suggests he read it is bad to let kids lick the spoon, or bowl because it is dangerous.
What rubbish, that would be a reasonable response so you pick up your mobile and say Hey Siri.
The next part of this is what you are going to write about.
Should kids lick the cake bowl?
Would you guess that there are more than a half dozen pages with a response to this simple question?
You can look at what others are writing about and make your response more exciting to get more readers.
In this case, I may even satisfy the intent and write; Is it safe to eat raw batter
You can see that this has a lot of traffic so it is a popular question. Who would have thought?
The answer lies in Salmonella and E. Coli as the reasons for caution and would form part of your answer.
By researching Google queries you can refine your keyword to better reflect market needs and traffic availability
Having a title is ok, refining it is necessary
A bit of research will make a difference in your results. Under the one query above we have shown no search volume to high search volume by changing a few words.
That is what makes Blogging worthwhile.
Being found is more important than being read.
The best writing in the world matters not if no one reads it. Even a simple phrase like licking the cake bowl had 7 pages of results and no one reads page seven. Very few people go past page one of a search term.
A cruel statistic it may be however with this little bit of knowledge you can be among the mob that is read and are successful as bloggers.
Blogging is easy if you just follow a few rules.
Conclusion
Your best blog writing ideas are easy to come by when breaking a niche into small pieces.
Understand Keywords and reader intent and half the job is done. The kids will be free to lick the spoons and enjoy the moment
