How to generate great Blog post ideas for your niche

It can be very difficult in most cases to come up with a fresh blog post idea, especially after writing for many years.

On many occasions, we just have to write articles that are not recommended by our viewers, and for sure, they end up loving them. That’s exactly what almost every blogger does rather than believing that popular myth of getting post ideas from our visitors. Though this is applicable, only to some extent, because only one method won’t be enough to generate all the ideas needed to grow your blog.

How to generate great blog post ideas in any niche.

This post will teach you everything you need to generate great ideas and keep your blog running for as long as you can without running short of topics to blog about.

Ask support teams About the customers:

If your blog has grown this big and is being handled by support teams, then they are more likely to know some of the regular customer requests. These requests can become creative blog posts, and it will also answer questions of more customers to come.

But before then, you can notify your support team ahead to take note of commonly used keywords by customers, especially when there’s a gap in this area.

If your blog is not big yet and you’re only the one handling your support section, then you will have to do the above analysis by yourself. This is a great way to generate post ideas.

Ask customers some questions:

for every new customer in your inbox, you can make them take a quick survey without them knowing. This is a strategy you can use to gather more ideas directly from the customers perspectives. Questions such as

What other post are you expecting from us?
In what way do you think we need improvements in our contents?
What are your areas of interest, and what article ideas would you like us to cover in regards to this?
So far, which of our articles has been your favorite post?
How often would you like to see us post new contents.

You can ask as many questions as you can strategically. This will enable you to understand your audience, know their areas of interest, and serve them with the perfect resources.

You can either add a poll to your website, you can ask these questions on your social media handles, and you can also make provision for blog commenting. These are some of the ways through which you can gather information from your audience.

Organized interviews:

Another great way to gather blog post ideas for your audience is through interviews. Regardless of your niche, there’s always something important to talk about. You can meet experts in these fields. Definitely, you will gain access to many even without paying a dime.

These interviews can be converted to blog posts, or better yet, they can become video content for your social platform. Whenever you run out of ideas to write about, trust me, the people around you are loaded with many things to discuss.

Additionally, since most of these words will be coming from experts, this will make your audience give more attention as this information tends to be more reliable.

E.g., if you blog about health and you don’t know what to write for the moment, you can go to hospitals and clinics. The doctors and nurses will always be happy to educate the audience through your platform. Same with education, relationships, business, and any other niche you can ever think of.

Email campaign:

Yes, email marketing is still very active and working. But then, you may need to start building your email list early. Probably as soon as your blog is launched so you won’t lose many audiences.

You can easily get fresh blog post ideas from your email subscribers. You just have to send them messages (not manually). You can ask your audience for the next topic they are expecting. With this, you will get as many blog post ideas as you want. You compare them, collect the ones that are necessary, and trash the rest.

Building an email list is not that difficult. If your audience loves your contents, they will always want to subscribe. You can use email list plugins if your website is hosted on WordPress.

Go personal:

Start brainstorming and thinking about the many things you’ve learned so far. Don’t you think there are some ideas you’ve not shared. Even though they may seem easy, I can guarantee you that very few know about it, and that’s why you should always share, no matter how small the idea seems to be, there are people who need it.

You can also think by simply reflecting on the mistakes you have made so far and how you were able to get out of those mistakes in regards to your niche. This can become great blog post ideas and solutions for people who may be passing through the same challenges.

In as much as this information is personal, making a good point won’t be difficult.

Explore analytics:

For every blog you own, there’s definitely a way to track your audience. Maybe through Google Analytics, a search console, or some other plugin for monitoring traffic. These platforms will be able to show you your traffic sources and keywords that have gotten more traffic over time.

More interestingly, you will see keyword gaps. These are the areas on which you should be more focused. You pick those keywords with gaps and create contents around them. This will make you retain more traffic and also keep your blog fresh with new articles.

Use Google suggestions:

You can get post ideas from Google suggest. For every keyword you type on Google, provided this keyword has been searched multiple times, you will see related searches. These are what people are also searching for in regards to those particular topics.

You can easily check through and create articles around the related topics that suit your blog.

Look at your competitors:

You can steal competitors ideas and make great posts from them. In any blogging niche, there’s always a competitor. Browse through their blogs to see what’s new. Through their recent and trending posts, you will be able to generate good post ideas for your audience.
