You own a blog…
So what should you blog about?
This article is going to do more than just show you how to come up with blog ideas, it’s going to give you a proven method to get more topics from your topics, and make those topics things people are looking to read about.
Over the last few years I have had a few blogs, and when I first began that question was always my biggest hurdle.
What Do I Blog About?
Of course we all have our passions and things that we know a lot about, and always make those topics your top priority of
what to blog about. But that doesn’t stop the writer’s block from setting in. Also, as someone who blogs regularly, your main goal is getting some people reading your material…
So how do you make sure your topics and content are exactly what people are looking to read about?
That is what I will address here. While answering that question, I’m also going to show you how to use online tools (specifically Google External Keyword Tool) to be able to pinpoint your blog topics and blog ideas exactly as
you need them to be, as well as generate multiple other blog topics that spring directly from another topic.
Let me show you,
You see people use the search engines to search for specific topics, if you make your blog reflect what those surfers are searching for, your chances at getting subscribers are much better. That is really what it’s all about.
Google External Keyword Tool gives you exact keyword phrases as well as how many times those phrases are being searched for. As well as it will give you variations on those keywords, and keyword phrases. Also, it will show you how much others are competing against you for that topic. Using this to your advantage, you will be able to blog about whatever topic or idea you want, and get the best chance for gaining readers and subscribers.
Before you start freaking out that you are going to have to learn some new program, or that it’s going to take hours to do this, let me point out that it’s the easiest thing you will ever do. By taking the time to use the tool, your content will be more targeted, and you will generate much more content from topics you are interested in currently.
Remember also, you don’t have to be an know it all on any one idea, you just have to be able to learn a little something, then write about it in your own words.
I’m going to give you a quick example on a topic that I have no expertise in whatsoever and how you could get data on a SPECIFIC area of that subject and then get many ideas from it. All by using the Google external keyword tool.
(Look for the link to the special video about how to do this below)
Let’s take the topic of ‘How to Make Sunflower Seeds’. Don’t laugh now, but I just researched it in a few seconds, I can tell you already that there is good possibilities of getting readers on this topic. That may not seem to be a very good topic, but use this as a launching pad for your own topics.
(remember though, keep the topic relevant to what you are trying to attract)
That exact terminology alone currently has over 1300 global searches for it, and there isn’t much competition. So that would be an excellent topic to write about. I would want to use that exact phrase in the title, and in the body of the post that I write.
So if I am into ‘How Things Are Made’, I could do research on different topics pertaining to that and write away. If I am targeted to the subject of Sunflower Seeds, there is a whole list of terms that Google external keyword tool is showing me on the same search page that I just used. Here are some others it is showing me…
Planting Sunflower Seeds
Making Sunflower Seeds
Sunflower Seed Recipes
How to grow sunflowers
Recipe For Pumpkin Seeds (because sunflower seed eaters, may be pumpkin seed eaters)
Facts about sunflowers
…on and on and on
I could keep going with all the great results I got from 1 single page.
I know that seems quite ridiculous, but please, just use this as an idea for your own topics and subjects.
Now you are equipped with the knowledge of the Keyword Tool from Google, and use it to create multiple blog ideas and blog topics all based around ONE SINGLE SUBJECT.
What is your SUBJECT?
