Create a topic based upon what you know, learn, or experience, which can be a niche area that you won't mind posting about day-in-and-day-out. Not sure what the topic should be? Try brainstorming! Sit down with a good old fashioned pen and paper and let the mind take you wherever it takes you! The idea is to write down EVERYTHING imaginable as it pertains to the knowledge you've accumulated throughout time. Once you've written down subjects, break them down even more by expanding on the subjects to arrive at a better defined (niche) topic. For example, here are a few subjects I have accumulated a wealth of knowledge about over the years: Printing Graphic design Canning preservatives Internet Playing guitar I can readily sit and talk (or better still, write) about each of these subjects, and feel confident that I know what I'm talking about. However, each of these subjects are too broad in nature and can be broken down into smaller units of thought (a topic), such as: Printing Ink coverage Press time Copying versus printing Typography Keylines Graphic design Software Business Cards Letterhead Brochures Fliers Posters Signs Canning Preservatives Hot packing Cold packing Pressure cooking Water processing Gardening Internet Video Audio Article Writing Free Publicity E-commerce Communities Blogs Playing Guitar Tuning Stringing Storage Chords ... and so on and so on. Anyone can do this same type of brainstorming. Let it all hang out, as I like to say - PURGE your mind - and you'll be quite surprised at just how much knowledge you have accumulated over the years. I would think, after doing such a purge session, there' has to be at least one topic that stands out, which you could pursue as a blog topic. And frankly, the only person qualified to make this decision is YOU! Hope this helps! All good things, Bonnie
I agree with Bonnie -- a topic should stand out to you and get you excited. That's the topic to select for your blog.
A good place to start is your personal likes. Create a fan topic. Do you love movies? Start a general movies blog, a blog about old movies, your favorite movie stars, or celebrities in general. Do you love sports? Start a general sports blog, a blog about football, a blog about basketball, about your favorite athlete, your favorite team, or just athletes in general. Do you love video games? Start a video game review blog or blog about one specific game or type of game. Or, any other thing you are a fan of. This insures that you know your subject and will not run out of things to blog about. It also means that you'll stay interested in the topic as well. Good luck!
this is an impressive post bonnie..I am happy to see these new members with such quality posts. PS: Rep added. I agree with bonnie
Listen to what BonnieG has said. You need to look within yourself for a topic. Think about your hobbies and interests. What would you really enjoy blogging about?
go to any web directory see which category is best suited for u see there blogs and try to make u r own Unique blog
FIRE! Create a blog about major house fires, shouldn't be hard to find content since every news site will provide it. Then once it gets popular, sell ad space on it to insurance agencies and lawyers that specialize in properly law. And there's a few fire extinguisher and fire safety affiliate programs around. People are fascinated by fire, and pictures of it can look really cool too
Bonnie has the right idea. Find a subject or general area that you want to write about. Remember that the blog isn't going to be just one or two posts, but one a day, for as long as you can crank out the content. If you have a political bend, then you have lots of stuff to write about, but it is time sensitive. You have to bang it out quickly, or it is yesterdays news. This applies to anything in the news, but politics especially, since it seems the candidates are sticking their foots in their mouth on a daily basis. Okay, brainstorming here: dogs cats mice computers tv movies actors directors police ham bad actors bad people politicians leaders fishing drinking whiskey headaches religion wars
