If you are a blogger you would surely know the feeling of sitting in front of your laptop with just nothing to write – No Blog Post Ideas.
You know the post has to be done and your readers would quite expect to hear from you and yet you just sit idle. It is one of those days when you would really want to
HIT THE WALL STRAIGHT ON
And turn to god with ‘kuch tho de de ‘ look on your face.
Sometimes you just do not get the right topic to write on, or the topics just seems so irrelevant and boring.
Well, today was one such day when some of our friends were discussing about topic ideas.
When such situation arises many stop posting, some however have a strict discipline of posting days and hence would want to post something. This at times does a lot of harm than good to your Blog.
One thing that always hurts your blog is unrelated posts, when you decide that your blog is your brand, you need to make sure you brand it well.
Today I decided to make a post that would be useful to me and my blogger friends in the long run.
Yes here are some ideas I had jotted down for times when the mind goes haywire and I still needed a post to be up.
5 Broad Blog Post Ideas For A Mind Map
-
Category Wise Bests
This is by far the most useful post topics you should opt in when you are completely bored. just go through your earlier posts in each category, choose your favorite ones, wrap them into a list.
You need to write only a small one liner, you have pictures already saved in your gallery. You also don’t have to search for words, just a cut and paste would do. (no copyright issues here)
This is the best way to give internal linking as well as earn some great on-site time for your readers.
NDTV Food always does this, they often post list that link to the actual recipe pages, so you mostly have to linger around to check on the recipes one after other – so lesser bounce rate.
You are a food blogger, you can write on the following topics
-
5 awesome desserts you would love to try
-
3 spicy Andhra recipes
-
10 soups you should not miss
-
Your Menu plan for a dinner party

This again is much like a wrap post – you would basically be telling the world how you reached the position you are in.
You can include your first posts, popular posts, how you wrote them
, How you felt while writing them and so on.
Since this is your journey you basically do not need any referring to do.
