Have you ran out of ideas for blog posts? Are you looking for content that will go viral?

I’ll just be honest with you. If you’re randomly deciding what blog posts to write about and your goal is to get more blog traffic, you’re probably not going to get a lot of blog traffic.

Before you write a blog post, you have to do research to see what keywords you need to include and what topics people are interested in reading about.

It can be very time-consuming, which is why I’m here to help you write blog posts that will go viral.

Keep reading about these lifestyle blog post ideas that will finally get your blog the traffic it deserves.

Starting a Blog

If you haven’t started a blog yet, here’s a little intro for how you can do that.

Picking a Niche

The first thing you should do is decide on a niche, or what you want to talk about in your blog. You may want to talk about everything, and that’s okay. It’s your blog. But keep in mind, if you’re looking to monetize or gain traffic, some niches are more suitable than others.

Some common niches are:

• lifestyle
• art
• news
• food
• business
• technology
• health
• fashion
• Making money

I consider my blog to be a lifestyle blog. I talk about interests in my life, like health, fitness, money, etc. It helps to narrow down to a few topics because it can get overwhelming deciding what to talk about. Here is a great article about choosing the perfect niche for your blog.

Creating a Name

 Domain Wheel is great for seeing what names are taken, and nameboy is a great tool for generating name ideas. Although it is okay if your domain name is different from your blog name, it is ideal if they are the same. Your domain name will be your URL.

Setting up Hosting

This means you buy and run your own website. There are several reasons for this. By purchasing your own hosting, it makes you look more professional.

If you are looking to get sponsored posts or make money from your blog, affiliate and brand programs will be looking for self-hosted websites. It is also a lot better for traffic because you don’t have the extra stuff in your name.

Designing your Blog

I started off by designing my header and favicon. The header and favicon could be a picture or a logo that represents your blog. The favicon pixel size should be 16×16 or 32×32.

The size of your header depends on the theme that you choose. A lot of the themes on WordPress come with different functions, so don’t only think of the way it looks, but also the functionality of the theme.

Try out different themes to see if they work for you. Here is a great article about choosing WordPress themes.

Optimizing for SEO

If you’ve never heard of SEO, this is what is going to drive your traffic. SEO stands for search engine optimization. SEO is what is going to get your page on search engines, like Google. One of the biggest ways you can do this is through keyword research.

Writing a Blog Post

Now that you’ve designed and optimized your website, it’s time to start writing? The numbers vary, but a lot of bloggers like to have a few posts on their website before they launch so it doesn’t look empty.
