20 New Blog Post Ideas in Under 10 Minutes

An Effortless Way to Generate a Month's Worth of Quality Blog Post Ideas in a Few Minutes

Sitting down to a blank screen, bereft of ideas, is a writer's horror of days past. Admittedly, I still get chills thinking about fruitless nights spent wondering what potential customers and clients could possibly want to read about (in blog format).

As an exercise I wanted to compare my old creative experiences with the modern experience - now that there are sophisticated heuristic tools to help enhance our natural creativity.

Better titles means more traffic. No credit card required.

Get Started

I set myself the challenge of coming up with a month's worth of good, solid blog post ideas targeted at a specific audience (in this case, bloggers, copywriters & marketers) as fast as possible.

Challenge: The raw ideas I used to spark these creative new blog post ideas are listed below. See if you can generate more than 20 in 10 minutes.

If you thought creativity was a special ability of especially creative people, think again. We all come with exactly the same machinery required to produce insightful and even profound new associations and ideas at scale.

Some people are just better at using that machinery.^{* learn more}

My Top 20 Blog Post Ideas

While all these ideas are targeted towards bloggers or marketers wanting to promote their content, the fundamental process you can follow to build up your own monthly publishing calendar full of on-trend ideas is exactly the same.

I show my working below in the section on Ideation Settings, so check out how to do the same thing for your blog in minutes.

In the meantime, feel free to swipe any of the ideas listed here. When the problem of creativity-on-demand has been solved, ideas are wonderfully easy to share (with little to no effort).

Here's how I set up my ideation to produce these blog post ideas (set up your own ideations by creating a free ideate bot account).

Ideation Settings (approx 2 mins)

Ideations are built around a core of seed concepts that are closely related to the topics you want to target.

If you're unfamiliar with ideation, check out our beginner guide to learn more about how your creative brain works - from the storyteller in your head to the semantic map in your mind.

Seed Concepts

I wanted to write about ideas and strategies to promote and market blogs and content. I used a few generic anchor terms (i.e. blogging & blog post) and then focused on topics and ideas.

I used a bit of inside knowledge of ideate bot here because instead of spreading my seed concepts too wide, I knew I could rely on my choice of topics (see Settings below) to blend in some marketing concepts.

• blogging
• blog post
• blog topics
• topic ideas
• blog ideas

Settings

While Writing is an obvious choice of primary topic for an ideation on blog ideas, I also included Marketing to give the raw ideas an extra dimension.

I also wanted a diverse array of idea types, so I included everything from Guides, to Lists and How-tos.

• Topic: Marketing, Writing
• Type: Guide, List, Informational, How To, Case Study
• Creativity: 5. Creative

I chose to leave the creativity level at 5 out of 10 for a balanced mix of focus and out-the-box thinking.

Raw Ideas (under 10 mins)

Here's where the magic happens. Raw ideas are used as flashcards - only a few at a time - that have unusual or counter-intuitive semantic associations that confound the logical brain and help engage the creative storyteller in your left brain (responsible for confabulation).

Raw ideas are purposefully obtuse because they need to prevent your brain from understanding the semantic intent of each idea instantly.^{* learn more}

Try quickly browsing over each of the ideas listed below to see what innovative blog ideas they spark in you. Pause for a few seconds after reading each one to give the storyteller time to confabulate something new.
