What are Good topics blog and where do you start? Finding blog topics is not difficult in fact you should have a list of 100 at all times. We tell you how.
What is your market niche?
It might be food, health, exercise, medicine,sport, business, clothing, shoes and so many more.
When you know your niche you can start to understand how to break it down. As I write this we are in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic so incorporated under health. sub category Pandemic, COVID-19
Finding the best topics for your blog, how do you do it?
Now a pandemic like COVID has a few topics to play with so we break then down even further.
What is COVID_19
Virus or Flu.
In USA ,Australia, UK, England and on for another 193 other countries all as a subject
Then we can separate between Men, women, children.
ages 0-10 then 11-16 right through to a hundred.
Cures, prevention, symptoms, contagious, affects,
Hospital, treatment,
Protective health equipment. Gowns, masks, boots etc
Suppliers and problems
By now you will understand how to find a topic to write about. The above short list is about 250 topics without really trying.
Topics and Keywords
Topics and Keywords revolve around two important issues.
- The amount of traffic
- and the level of competition
If there is too much traffic you will be lost on the freeway plus if they are all going faster than you so you will be at the back of the list.
Remember that 90% of lookers never go past the first page of a Google search and half the page is paid for advertising.
So if your topic was COVID you may as well be home in bed because of high traffic and competition.
However the keyword has now changed to key phrase. They mean the same thing except one has more words. This is sometimes called a Long tail keyword but they are really all the same.
COVID is a keyword, you can Google it read about it but it is really busy.
“Covid cures for people with asthma” takes you on a less busy journey however still talking about the same thing plus you have a chance of being read.
Therefor when we blog we choose a topic that will have an audience. We find the audience by using a Keyword tool.
How to build your topics
My best advise is to build a list of 100 topics. Put them in a spread sheet and have an order.
First up is understanding your niche and we have used COVID-19 as an example.
We know it is health related and a Pandemic. It is also a virus that affects every country in the world.
People talk about cures, of which there are currently none, however there are many possibilities.
The Common flue needle, Malaria tablets or Hydroxychloroquir, bleach. alcohol ibuprofin are just a few.
Take one of these and explore it further. Use why how and when to stretch it out
Clinical trial in each country
Treatments.
Isolation
200.000 people died
When will a vaccine be found
who is leading in research
Is animal testing the same as human tests.
Economic impact
In this way you are building blocks to work from.
Three ways to challenge your topics
The first is to use a Google search and research. You will then see what is popular and the words that are drawing readers in. You will find many more topic to expand your own list.
Dig down a couple of pages and review the meta descriptions to see what the attention getting words are and start to formulate your ideas.
Both Jaaxy and wealthy have a free keyword tool you can use to gather information on volume and competition.
Large volume of calls and high competition weans you will be lost in the rush. We look for about 100 searches a month and a competition score of under 100.
I just did a Wealthy Affiliate keyword tool snapshot . From this you can see what words you have a chance to rank for. Certainly not covid 19 travel. However covid 19 cruises would be an option.
Uber suggest by Neil Patel
This is a free tool that has some handy references that I use.
Here Neil has 352 keyword suggestions on just one word. Ignore the traffic at the moment as we are looking at building a list.
Beside this you can see the websites that are fighting for first page.
Again Neil had a traffic problem this morning however we are looking to build a list of keywords or subjects.
Looking at competitive websites provides an opportunity to get even more ideas.
In no way am I suggesting you use this heading for your blog. It is purely demonstrative and using a word that is current. However sometimes this is an opportunity to use this for your own business.
- Covid in small business
- Covid distance rules for you business, restaurant, shop.
- Government support for Covid in small business.
- Is the Covid crisis an online opportunity? ( I may just use this myself.)
Because my interest is in small business and online marketing I have used Covid coverage to work in with my niche therefore picking up extra traffic.
Write your 100 headings
Now you have all the tools to write a hundred great topics, enough to keep you going for about a year.
You will add many more as you sidetrack into new areas but that is the idea as your interest soars to new heights. This is just the starting blocks of your journey but make it interesting and challenge yourself to create.
Now think about what to write
Advanced training for blog topics
I am a graduate from Wealthy Affiliate and recommend the training and web hosting wherever I can .
The Internet journey is a constantly evolving business that requires you to up-skill regularly to maintain contact with the game. You want to be unique and different to stay on top.
Conclusion
When starting out on a blogging career the future often looks daunting and unknown. To make this easier is a plan around your 100 keywords will take some stress from the journey. It is difficult when you sit at the computer and start to try and think what to write. A big blank wall descends on your mind and you need to jump that wall to find success.
