Learning To Find Interesting Lifestyle Blog Post Ideas
I remember when I started blogging that I found it hard to keep the momentum going with weekly blog posts.
Back in 2010, my Suburban Tourist blog was primarily a hiking and travel blog. Since I sometimes didn’t have time to do either, I lacked inspiration and content to blog about.
What I should have been doing is going outside of my limited scope and coming up with relevant posts that could fall under the hiking or travel categories.
But you learn from your mistakes, or you get wisdom from those who’ve already made them!
The key thing I do now before I write anything is to ask myself.
If a topic passes that litmus test, then you’re ready to start writing away!
Blog Post Ideas For Lifestyle Blogs
It’s hard to keep your creative juices flowing when you’ve got a million things to do with your new blog.
There’s always something new to add or do. Brainstorming fresh blog post ideas for lifestyle blogs requires a bit of time that you just don’t have.
It’s also easier to brainstorm fresh lifestyle blog post ideas based on your existing content. But if you don’t have much of that, then you have to look outside your own blog.
And when “Blogger’s Block” hits, it’s hard to get going again. I’m referring to that moment when you just lose all motivation and inspiration to write anything.
Nothing seems to be working and you have no interest in writing on a topic.
Even veteran bloggers like myself find themselves in a blogging rut with no motivation or interesting topics to write about.
So I’ve done the heavy lifting for you and come up with this list of the best blog post topics for lifestyle blogs to help you continue blogging.
If you’d like to learn how to always come up with fresh blog post ideas for a lifestyle blog that your readers will love, I offer coaching on content creation.

Another great way to come up with a list of the best blog post topics for your lifestyle blog is to type in a category into Pinterest: e.g., beauty or parenting and see what kind of topics pop up first.
For example under beauty, you see several topics on how to remove unwanted hair or apply eye makeup to make your eyes seem larger etc. These are topics you should consider writing about.
Just remember to:
- Do your research if it’s a topic you aren’t so knowledgeable about. Ensure that what you’re sharing is accurate and informative.
- Provide as much information in an easily readable blog post that readers LOVE to read: remember to interlink with any other existing posts you have and add a few good outbound links for reference.
- SEO the post and the Pinterest pin so that you get traffic to your blog post. Make sure your images have the alt-title filled out with relevant keywords.
- Infuse the blog post with your own voice! Share your story.
