The topic is quite common and is the need of the day for every blogger – getting blog post ideas!

But then, later on things start to fade away! That is when you struggle to create content.

You struggle to keep your site updated with fresh content which very crucial for your blogging success.

There are two things that stand as obstacles when you want to create content for your blog.

1. Having to come up with blog post ideas, on a regular basis.

Google related search

I am sure you use Google for a lot of things on a regular basis. Especially, as a blogger, you totally rely on Google, don’t you?

Here’s how to use it.

Do a search for your main keyword. Scroll down to see the Google’s related search suggestions for that keyword.

Take note of them.

You can further perform search on each of those keywords to expand your list of ideas.

List posts

List posts are one of the easy kind to create. Most bloggers prefer to publish list posts for this very reason.

However list posts are also overrated. There are too many low quality lists posts – published for the sake of it.

If you want help on how to create a good quality list post quickly, this post will help!

Nevertheless, good quality list posts can serve as idea machines for you.

Type in your “top 10 {keyword}” in Google (without the quotes and brackets of course).

Top 10 was just an example. You can use anything related to that.

“Best ways”, “10 Tips” etc. are a few other examples.

Now you will get a few results that are list posts on topics related to the keyword you typed in.

Feel free to click on each of them. If you take any one of that blog post into account, each list item in that blog post can be a separate blog post that you can write and publish on your blog.

You can keep on hunting for more and more list posts until you get enough blog post ideas.
