How to Regularly Find New Titles to Write About

In this age of digital content, your blog is not only the face of your organization, but it is also the single most-effective web property to engage with your customers, clients, and your audiences – making the role of high-quality content and regular blog updates exceptionally important.

Despite this reality, most content marketers struggle to create new content on an ongoing basis and the reason is simply a lack of topics to write about.

The Growing Need for Blogging and Content Creation

With content marketing ruling the roost, the need for blogging and content creation has grown by leaps and bounds.

Whether you own a company blog or manage your personal blog, publishing well-written, relevant content is not just favoured, it is also extremely important if you want to create a loyal reader base, stay in the minds of your target audience and interact with them, up close and personal.

Even though writing blog posts and articles is crucial for maintaining a healthy online presence, many writers and bloggers find it difficult to come up with interesting topics to write about, regularly.

If you find it painful to think of interesting titles for your new blog posts, here are some tips that will help you prepare a healthy list of topics to write about –

Know Your Strengths: Tap into Your Area of Expertise

The easiest way to maintain a flow of good-quality content on your blog is to write articles on topics that cover your area of expertise and niche. Narrowing down to your core expertise and niche is a great way to make your blog posts not just relevant but also valuable for your readers.

For e.g., if you are an HR Manager, you can consider writing insightful articles about the HR industry – its core strengths, weaknesses, trends, and opportunities. Since you are a part of the industry, you can share your experiences with your readers, and slowly, establish yourself as an expert in the field.

Know Your Target Audience: Who are You Writing For?

Your blog is only as important as the readers it serves. So when it comes to brainstorming a list of topics to write about, you must consider what are the best topics for your audiences and then cover those topics on your blog.

Of course, even before you do this, you must know who your target audience is and what makes them tick. When you have a clear profile of your customers in front of you, you’ll find it easy to think about the topics that will interest them.

While researching a list of topics to write about, do visit your favourite blogs to find out how they are tackling content creation for their readers.

Write from the Heart: Express your Thoughts

Another great way to come up with article topics on a regular basis is to write about subjects and issues close to your heart. Sharing your views and thoughts on topics which you feel strongly about is a great technique for creating fresh content on an ongoing basis.

Stay Current: Talk About the ‘Here & Now’

Is there a significant sports event just around the corner? Has the budget been announced? Why not express your views on them? Writing on current topics is a great way to build a loyal reader base.

By being alert, aware and informed, you can easily prepare a fairly comprehensive list of topics to write about.

Interview People: Share Their Experiences

Whenever you meet people who are experts in their area of work, you should consider interviewing them.

By writing interview articles, you can get a fresh new perspective on life. Such insightful articles are not just interesting to read but they will also educate and inform your readers, and keep them coming back to your blog.

Help Others: Provide Answers to Questions

Last, but not the least, use your blog to provide answers to common questions.

Say you are a Fashion Designer with an inherent interest in writing articles. Why not think of questions that others may have regarding the Fashion industry, what it takes to become successful, etc., and then write articles that answer these genuine questions.

By doing so, you will not only offer value to your readers, but you will also be able to come up with interesting topics for your articles, regularly.
