25 Awesome Blog Post Ideas

Your blog allows readers to connect with you on a different level, but thinking of unique blog posts that are actually fun to write can be a challenge. Here are some ideas that let your readers know more about you, give you a fun activity to accomplish, or simply give you some blogging material when you’re feeling less than inspired.  This is the first part in a series (of how many parts is to be determined) with awesome ideas for blog posts!  (If you have ideas and/or photos you’d like to submit, just contact us!)

1. Redecorate a room in 72 hours. Set a budget, plan it out, and get it all done in two days. Spend the third day taking pictures and writing a blog post about the experience.
2. Share your favorite makeup look and write a tutorial on how you achieved it.
3. Write an entire blog post on paper, then scan it (or take a picture of it) and post it so your readers can see what your handwriting looks like.
4. Pick your favorite outfits, and have a backyard photo shoot.  Don’t worry if you’re not a photographer, or are having a bad hair day.  Just own it!
5. Do a video blog (vlog), but instead of sitting in front of the camera – take a tour of your house and show your readers where you live.
6. Let your husband, spouse, or child do a “Guest Post” for you.
7. Share your wedding photos, even if they’re in a scrapbook.  You might have dozens of scrapbooks dedicated to your wedding, but no one can see them if they’re sitting on the shelf!
8. Get in touch with your inner photographer, even if you’re not one.  Have fun with camera angles, photo filters, and images of things you find beautiful.  Hey – if it’s not great photography, at least we can call it “art”!
9. Recap some of the most important times in your life that you haven’t blogged about.  Your graduation, a proposal, a pregnancy – anything we don’t know about you.
10. Get a crazy new hairstyle just so you can blog about it.  Bring a camera, bring a friend, and document the craziness.  Have long blonde hair?  Go short and red with bangs!  Sharing your look with your social circle is a completely justifiable reason for change.
11. Profile each one of your pets, and don’t feel silly for doing it.  They are your fur-babies!  We get it!
12. Learn something new, and share it with the world.  Don’t know how to sew?  Want to learn how to decorate cakes?  Get started and document the journey (and every mess in between.)
13. Profile your children on their birthdays.  Talk about their likes, dislikes, and you can even have them draw a self-portrait for the post!
14. Record a video of you and your family playing a board game.  Let us see your family dynamic!
15. Book reviews may be over-done, but instead of picking the latest bestseller, or a novel…pick a book that changed your life, and tell us why.
16. Try a new beauty product you’d ordinarily never buy.  Glitter blue eyeshadow?  Yes please!  Whether it’s success or failure, you stepped out of that comfort zone!
17. Post your mid-year goals and how you plan to achieve them.  Goals aren’t just for New Year’s anymore!
18. Share your meal plan and grocery list for the week.  Blog the recipes of your favorite meals, even if it’s just a sandwich.
19. Host your own “Post Secret” and allow people to anonymously comment on your blog post with their secrets.
20. Share what’s currently on your phone.  Screenshot your pictures, funny texts between you and your friends, random notes, your current background, and anything else that expresses who you are (at the moment anyway.)
21. Do something your spouse loves to do.  Tag along and take pictures, then write about the experience.  Who knows, maybe fishing and drinkin’ beer could be your new past-time!  (Or maybe you just get brownie points for this one.)
22. Teach us something you know how to do.  Can you give yourself a french manicure?  Make the fluffiest pancakes ever?  Give us the intel!  Share that knowledge!
23. Purchase something from a fellow blogger.  Whether it’s from an Etsy store, or a service they provide – write about the experience and they’ll thank you forever!
24. Try a new fad workout or diet, and give us the inside scoop on whether or not it REALLY works!
25. Refurbish something you just can’t stand any longer.  Maybe it’s an old purse or a hideous chair – but make it your mission to make it amazing.
