24 Blog Post Ideas (For When You Have Nothing to Post)

22 March 2017

Because it happens.

To us all.

Blogger's block. 

Sometimes I think this is actually worse than writer's block, because, well, I HAVE A SET DAY TO POST.  And I need to get a post cranked out by then.  AND it's not always easy! (also tip: if you're wondering about setting a schedule and posting one day every week, take my advice and don't do what I do--start brainstorming the night before it's supposed to go up. JUST DON'T.)

I know that there have been so many times where I just sit in front of the computer staring at that awful blinking cursor for wayyyy too long, so today I decided to round up a few blog post ideas that will hopefully give you a little blog-gy inspiration if you're stuck in a rut :) I know most you all are bloggers, so YOU KNOW THIS.  BLOGGING CAN BE HARD, but we can do it, y'all! *cheers*

+ If you just had a great week, write and tell us about it!
+ Have some motivational quotes that you want to share? I love finding new inspiration :)
+ Round up some of your all time favorite pictures and compile them in an inspirational post!
+ Do a post full of GIF's. They're the best.  END OF STORY.
+ Share some of your favorites! These can be in any category as well.
+  Write about....blogging!! Share your work space, your favorite tools, what goes into a blog post, how you find inspiration, or some of your tried-and-true tips.
+ If you don't have anything to blog about, try writing a wishlist! What are some things you've been wanting recently?
+ Write a letter to your younger and/or older self.
+ 10 Things You Can't Live without?
+ Write a blog post about why you started blogging.
+ Share some of your favorite books (this one shouldn't be too hard =) 
+ Do you know some cool HTML/CSS codes? Share them with the rest of us!
+ Write a post about where you want to travel and why.
+ Just finished decorating or designing your room? Share a few pictures! I know I love seeing how other people decorate, and it's a fun post!
+ Make a reverse bucket list.  What have you already accomplished in life?
+ Share some of your pet peeves.
+ Taken any great pictures lately? Put them together into a photography post. I love these kinds of posts so much.   HELLO INSPIRATION.
+ Share a favorite recipe!
+  Write down a list of some things that people might not know about you.
+ Do a this-or-that post.  You can find questions online asking which your prefer between two choices, and write your answers down in a post.
+ Write about what your passionate about (i.e. your hobbies, etc.)
+ x Things I've Learned in x Years (This one's great for a birthday!)
+ Create a reader survey!
+ Write a slam poem. Sometimes they're the most meaningful posts.
+ Share your thoughts on something! It can be anything, honestly.  People will love to hear your thoughts.
+ And when all else fails, try writing a post of blog post ideas! It can actually be really inspiring ;)

So I hope that you all liked this post! Some of these ideas I've actually done in the past, and I know that sometimes I feel like re-doing them because it's BEEN SO LONG and it would be an easy idea too xD BLOGGING CAN BE TOUGH, GUYS.  But it is so worth it ♥ SO TELL ME, is it easy for you to come up with blog post ideas? Do you have any more that I should add to that list up there? I think it became a little easier and harder at the same time when I started scheduling posts for once a week, because I knew that I always had to be thinking of an idea, yet IT'S SO EASY TO PROCRASTINATE.  Usually I'm trying to rack my brain trying to come up with a blog post the night before it's supposed to go up *laugh* AH THE BLOGGING LIFE.

    But then I'll just come back and check out this post xD FANTASTIC ideas here--I can't wait to try some!

    1. NO YOU'RE NOT, CLARA =) You're a fabulous blogger!

      Like honestly, no worries on not having a posting schedule. I just went out on a limb and decided to try that this year, and I just find that it helps keep me on track, but I know other years I didn't do it and I was still a...blogger. lol.
      Haha, I'm so glad you like it! It means the world to me <3

  4. (also if you want to be organised and post regularly, don't just schedule a WHOLE BUNCH of book reviews to go up in a row because traffic will ddddrrrrroooooopppppp)

  5. Well, you're better than me. I end up suddenly realizing sometime between Sunday and Tuesday night that I'm supposed to have posted on my blog...and I haven't...so a lot of the time (probably not the best long-term plan), I just start rambling and hope I end up somewhere...poor readers.

    You have lots of good ideas that I will be taking into consideration!

    1. ACTUALLY THOUGH THAT IS A GOOD IDEA. I usually procrastinate wayyyy too much too, but I always try to have a set post idea in mind. But maybe it works if you just start typing too? I SHOULD TRY IT SOMETIME. lol

      Thanks for reading, Sagebrush Girl!

  11. Oh wow, these are great post ideas! And OMG A GIF POST SOUNDS SO AMAZING!!!

    Hmm... It's not very hard for me to think of post ideas. But I started two months ago, so I still have some ideas in mind, but I'm sure that as I continue, it'll get harder to think of some blog posts. XD
