12 Topic Ideas to Kickstart Your New Blog

Determining what to write about can be challenging. You love so much, and there’s a lot that is trending and changing. Focusing on one or two topics is important, so here is a short guide to give you the run-down on some of today’s hottest blog ideas.

Entertainment
To you love scandalous celebrity action? Love writing about who’s doing who, and who wore what at the Grammy’s? If so, an entertainment-focused blog may put you in the limelight. Write fascinating stories about trending and obscure topics. Keep the world up to date on exciting new movies. Provide insight on who just took the walk of shame down the black carpet after sleeping with someone else. The opportunities are endless.

Fashion
Much the same as technology, people need an insightful and critical individual to tell them what is stylish and what won’t work with your plaid undershirt. Or why you shouldn’t wear a plaid undershirt.

Food
Everyone needs to eat, and everyone drinks coffee. Blog about the trendy hipster bars, the delicious hamburger joints, the fabulous sushi restaurants. Eat at every Michelin 3-star restaurant in North America and write charming reviews. Let the world know about what’s hot in your life.

Gaming
One of the hottest things among today’s youth is the gaming industry. Console, PC, and card games have taken over the 15–30 crowd. Cover League of Legends or Magic: the Gathering tournaments. Write reviews on the best new console games. Go to E3 and give behind-the-scenes posts to provide cutting-edge insight.

Humor
For those who make huge crowds laugh, a humor blog may be your ticket to success. Share opinions,
pictures, and funny thoughts in a way that expresses your enviable charisma. Pretty soon you’ll be gathering thousands of daily viewers who love to laugh with you at the beautiful, absurd things in life.

Luxury
If you live life for the best of everything, sharing your experiences and thoughts can develop a mesmerizing blog. Own an Aston Martin? Tell people about the power and thrill of driving it. Fly first class from Singapore to Dubai? Describe how you’re pampered into a dreamlike trance. Blogging about how amazing your life is may also serve as a motivational tool for people who think to themselves: I want that. I want to do this. I want to travel here.

Marketing
These days, everyone wants to learn to run their business, sell a product, or gain followers on Twitter. Being an expert in any marketing-related topic can be invaluable, and may lead to an outstanding blog. Explain complicating marketing concepts and jargon. Tell people how to benefit from learning PPC and keywords to expand their customer outreach..

Music
Music is another industry that is fluid and always changing. Change with it. Spotify gives access to what may be every song imaginable. Find music and write reviews. You can focus on trending and fabulous artists and their new releases, or dig deep into the indie world to introduce people to new artists. Everyone loves a good album, and a compelling review can mean the difference between obscurity and introducing people to their new favorite artist. You can also cover concerts, hot dance clubs,

Politics
People love controversy. If you have a fresh and startling spin on controversial socio-political topics, you can easily trend. Don’t, however, write bombastic comments or play the devil’s advocate in what you actually believe in, just to gain a cult following. That never ends well. However, do shake things up. Make people uncomfortable. Make people care about your opinions, and they’ll bookmark your page and read your every word.

Self-help
Let’s face it, we all have problems. We’re all screwed up and anxious and fearful of loss, rejection, and pain. Surviving life’s hardships and gaining a lifetime of wisdom can motivate people to achieve anything. Writing a self-help blog to inspire others to achieve what you have done can become a valuable asset. If you’re extraordinary, help others be like you. Pay it forward.

Technology
If you’re a gizmo nut, keep up to date on the latest news, products, and people in the tech industry, and know how to use your iPhone better than your friends, a tech-blog may be what’s best for you. Technology is constantly changing, and if you maintain a blog that changes with it, and stays ahead of the trends, people will adore you. Devour news regarding the tech industry, and regurgitate it in your own blog. Let people know about the hottest new apps, the the exciting product release. Tell them why they need to run to Best Buy and purchase something.

Travel
Been around the world? Share your pictures and experiences. Tell people about the beer gardens in Germany, the camel ride you took in Egypt, the music festival you attended in Finland. Write about exotic beaches and popular resorts. Countries with beautiful landmarks and breathtakingly natural scenery. You can provide a dazzling depiction of a region someone desperately wants to travel to. They may begin to worship your blog. Just don’t exaggerate your experiences and pull images off Tumblr and Deviant Art, claiming you took them.
