#1: Get Involved in the Conversation:


If you look around, you�ll find that the blogosphere is filled with a ton of ideas to blog about. All you need to do is find interesting blogs within your niche and get involved in the conversation.

For instance, if a blogger has written about something that you agree or disagree with, respond to him by writing a blog post and mentioning him in it. This not only helps you come up with unique content but also lets you connect with other bloggers. That�s how you �bond� and network in the blogosphere.

#2: Curate the Best Content:


Content curation is the in thing these days. As a blogger you can help your readers discover quality content by curating it from different sources.

However, curation doesn�t mean you simply find and organize relevant links. You have to add your own opinion or add your insight to the content you�re curating. That�s how you�ll be able to add real value to your blog posts.

#3: Compile a List of Experts within Your Niche:


Let�s face it - if you want to grow your blog, you need to connect with the influencers. You need to get noticed by the experts within your niche. And what better way to do it than create a blog post that lists them out, links to them and recommends them?

There are a number of ways you can approach this idea. You can talk about the achievements of these experts, or what makes them special, or even review each of their blogs. Think out of the box and you�ll be able to create a valuable post that your readers will like.

#4: Create a Step-by-Step Guide:


The Internet is filled with newbies who are always looking for new and easy ways to do things. They want to be guided, helped and taken by hand.

Creating a step-by-step guide is a great way to create blog posts that not only get read, but also get linked. Besides that, you don�t really have to go too in-depth with your guide. Sometimes even the basics can go a long way. As long as you�re giving clarity to your readers, they�ll love your content.

#5: Publish Your Progress Report


If you�re a blogger who loves sharing and giving real value, then this tip is for you. Consider publishing a progress report on your blog where you make your readers a part of your journey.

There are many top bloggers who have successfully used this strategy to connect to their readers. For example, if you�re running a fitness blog, you can create monthly reports on how you�re progressing towards building a great body. It doesn�t matter what niche your blog is in, if you�re taking action, you will have something to share. And people hold progress reports in high esteem because they�re honest and powerful.

Conclusion


Good blog post ideas are everywhere. They�re all around you. But unless and until you experiment with various ones, you won�t know what works for you.

So always be open to the idea of testing out new ideas. Keep moving ahead by writing blog posts that actually push boundaries. Because that�s how stand out from the rest. And that�s how you make a difference.
