With the holidays here, blogging can seem like such a gigantic box of terrifying whiteness. I put together this list a long time ago, when I first started blogging, to keep myself from quitting. I knew that if I had guaranteed post ideas on hand, then I would be less likely to throw in the towel! So I bring them to you today!
1. Let your dog guest post
2. Teach us something - What are you an expert at, that most people are not?
3. Pretend to be another blogger for a day - write like you think they would, live their life
4. Something you recreated on Pinterest and how you did it
5. Other titles you considered for your blog and why you ruled them out
6. When in doubt, polyvore
7. Ask another blogger if you can interview them for a post
8. Show some blogger love, share you favorite links.
9. Take #8 a step further, give your favorite bloggers yearbook awards. i.e. Class clown, most popular, cutest couple, most athletic, smartest, biggest nerd (nerd can be a compliment, by the way), most likely to succeed, Miss congeniality, etc.
10. Tell us about a time your were publicly embarrassed
11. Give your opinion on something you love that may be controversial
12. Tell us what really "grinds your gears"
13. Play MASH
14. Interview your spouse or parent about your blog to find out how they really feel
15. Five things you can't live without
16. Write a post dedicated to your blogging BFF
17. Things you miss from childhood
18. Things you are scared of
19. Why you deserve free stuff
20. Top 10 Guilty Pleasures
21. Write a letter to your 80 year old self
22. Tell a funny story from your childhood
23. Make fun of this site
24. List the ways you have had success gaining new fans in the blog world
25. List things that did not work to gain new followers in the blog world
What would you add to my list?
This is so perfect lmao

I keep a little notebook and whenever I have an idea, even if it seems stupid at the time, I write it down.
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny because I just did #1 yesterday! I had a very uneventful week & had nothing interesting to write about, so I let my pup takeover the blog for the day. She handled business! ;)

You're totally right, it seems like every post I've published this month was pulled out of a bag of magic tricks! I'm soon just letting my dog take over for the entire month! Great list and thanks for some tips!
ReplyDeleteAh, thanks for all the ideas! I myself have a binder where I jot down random ideas that I can't seem to elaborate on and come back to them months later. Seems to work for me!
ReplyDeleteThis list is absolutely AWESOME! Thanks so much for sharing, I hope you have an awesome weekend :)

ReplyDeleteMaybe this list will just be my posts for the first month of the new year… except that would require being organized - and I'm not quite there yet.
ReplyDeleteI definitely have a post about playing MASH. hahaha
ReplyDeletethis is so great!! if i really don't know I always think of what's bugging me at the moment and usually, it's bugging someone else too!
ReplyDeleteThis post is amazing! You are absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much for writing this! I know I'm going to use several of these ideas, if not all of them. :)

I love this! The dog post is for sure my favorite!!
ReplyDeleteI love this. You're a genius. Especially with the dog one... my kids may be guest posting for me too...
ReplyDeleteI love it! I'll definitely be using this list!
ReplyDeleteWhen you see a question for a Q & A on someone's blog that really talks to you use it as the basis of a blog post, pinch ideas from other blogs like I have just done here
ReplyDeleteI loved this! Thank you!! I keep a list of ideas when they come to me or posts that I see that I like so hopefully one day when I'm stuck rereading my list will spark a new idea, and obviously I just added all of these to that list!
ReplyDeleteWith the weather so NOT cooperating for outfit posts I am going to need ALL of these ideas!

Here&Now
This is a great list of suggestions! I pinned the post so that I can revisit it occasionally
ReplyDeleteThese all sound so great and simply, but for some reason I can never think of them on my own, especially when I need something to write about! Haha! Thanks for these!! You've done the whole blog world a favor =)
ReplyDeleteI have some of these in my draft file already, so this MUST be a good list *winkwink.
ReplyDeleteI love your list! Number 9 seems so fun! I keep a notebook with me at all times to add things when they pop in my head.
