Thanks for bearing with me for the last week while I took a break from the blog. Thanks for all of the comments, retweets, and shares. Now that I’m back I’ll get to work on replying to the emails I got, responding to the comments here, and commenting on others’ blogs.
{ 169 comments… read them below or add one }
hi Tristan! this is an awesome list and will definitely go a long way in helping me (us) out even if i blog about books most of the time. i’m interested in creating infographics and i have a couple of ideas worth pursuing. i’m excited to hear about your infographic course! that is something i’d love to be a part of. thanks again and welcome back! c”,)
Great, I’m glad you found the post useful, Ao!
The infographics course is going to be really cool. I’m excited :)
hi tristan
I am new to the whole blogging business… have started a new blog but not getting much love. Can you give me some advice on getting traffic my way or shoul i just concentrate on the blogging side of things for the moment… check me out on underpressure1982.blogspot.com… have the idea recently on a tv programme should i concentrate on the blogging and have a build it and they will come mentality??
thanks… great ideas
Hi Tristan! This is a very helpful list. I intend to make an editorial calendar for my blogs and this list would really help a lot in planning the editorial calendar for my personal blog.
Having an editorial calendar is something I need to get better at, too. I’m happy that you found some good ideas in the list. Thanks for stopping by, Nica!
Hi Tristan! This is very helpful. I normally ran out of topics to write about. Thanks for so many great ideas!
No problem, Dennis :) Thanks for taking the time to comment. I really do appreciate it. I hope you’re having a great week so far!
Great list! I’m normally an “idea person” but for some reason I often get stuck when it comes to blog posts. This will keep me going for a very long time.
Thanks!
Teresa
I think we all get stuck sometimes when it comes to blogging. I know I do! That’s why I made this list in the first place :)
Thanks Teresa!
Holy crap.. that’s a long list. This is definitely getting bookmarked and saved for later use.
No one should ever have an excuse about not having ideas to write about ever again. All people have to do now is add a little creativity to make their content awesome.
thanks for sharing this man
Hector
Awesome! Having a post bookmarked has got to be one of the most fulfilling things a blogger can hear, so thanks Hector :)
And I appreciate you stopping by to comment! I hope you’re having a great week.
Fantastic collection of ideas, thanks for sharing, keep them coming!!.
Will do :)
Hi Tristan,
This is a huge list of ideas. I have noted down all of them and I have already got few post ideas in my mind. Thanks for your advice.
Sathish
Great! I’m glad you found the post helpful. Thanks for the comment, Sathish!
There’s one type of post that I almost always click on: income or traffic reports.
The main reason why I check those types out is because they are usually full of information about tactics or products that people actually use, and not just promoting. I’m more often than not flabbergasted with the amounts people are earning online these days. When I first touched a web browser (heck, when I first used Gopher), I never would have imagined people would earn sums of money without selling products or subscriptions.
Great list of ideas though. I’m going to save the list and maybe some of these will pop up on my blog in the near future.
Oh man, good call, James! I can’t believe I forgot that kind of post… I just updated this post and gave you credit for it. It’s true, those types of posts are a lot of fun to read and more than a little bit informative.
Thanks as always for the comment, man.
Hi Tristan,
Great list and bit long but it clearly shows how hard you worked for it. I have noted down and will use them. I hope your love for lists continue forever. ;)
A bit long, huh? Hahaha. Well, you could have taken a break in the middle and come back later :)
I too hope that my list love burns brightly for a long time to come.
Thanks, Sam!
Hey Tristan,
What an awesome list of blog post ideas. Great Job dude. I love the idea of doing “about me” & analogies posts.
Thanks for sharing this great article. Have a great day.
~Dev
Thanks Devesh! I actually had a lot of fun writing this post. As I mentioned, the post has been in the works for a while, but I also just sat down and tried to come up with more ideas until I reached 101 :)
Hi Tristan,
Hope the holiday was good. Well you have excelled again. That is one hell of a list. If someone says they have run out of ideas again, they need pointing here.
This will give me content for this whole year.
Thanks mate
Pete
Yep, had a great holiday! It was nice to just sit back, relax, watch TV, and get fat. But it is great to be back blogging!
Sweet, I’m glad you liked the post! Thanks as always for stopping by and leaving a comment, Pete. You’re a stud.
Roh roh…you might incur the wrath of Chris Brogan with this list dude lol Doesn’t he charge for this type of information? Anyways…
I just wanted to say welcome back, we’ve missed you buddy :-)
I think charging for blogging information is kind of lame. It’s all readily accessible. Though I reserve the right to withdraw that in the future when I come out with a sick awesome new blogging secrets ebook…
Thanks for the great ideas, Tristan, and hope you had a nice vacation :) I am sure gonna use some of these!
My vacation was indeed lovely :) And I’m glad you liked this post! Thanks for stopping by, Brankica!
Tristan,
Now that is the way to start back with a bang! I agree with Hector, this is one worth bookmarking. I have already come up with some new ideas. Thanks.
Good to see you back. Hope you had a great time.
Yep, I had a great time away from the blog, but it is fun to be back. But geeze, I forgot how much work this blogging thing is!
I’m happy that you like the post and got some ideas from it. Thanks as always for stopping by and leaving a great comment, Sheila.
Hi Tristan,
This is amazing list that I have no other choice but to bookmark, print out and stick on my wall for those days when I’m truly stumped.
You’ve put an amazing amount of work into this – a list like this doesn’t happen in one sitting. It’s obvious that you’ve poured a lot of mental energy into this one.
Hahaha. I love hearing that something I’ve written takes away from the freedom of choice of my readers :)
You’re right, this didn’t happen in one sitting. I’ve been compiling it for a while, though the final push to make it to 101 (I just love that number!) was done in a push.
Thanks Kiesha!
Wow, what an amazing list of ideas. I usually just write about something I have experienced lately. It can be a problem I have experienced, or a tutorial (how to do something). I have added this post as a bookmark, and will look at it when I need some ideas :)
I like the idea of writing about a problem you’ve recently experienced. I just added that one to the end of the list, along with a link back to your blog :)
I’m glad you liked the post, Jens, and thanks for commenting!
That’s awesome. Thanks a lot :-)
Hey Tristan,
Hope you had a terrific vacation. What an awesome list! Talk about returning with a bang :)
I’m going to print this out for future reference. No more excuses with these fantastic post ideas – there’s just so much to write about.
One of my readers left me a comment earlier on, asking if I could help him overcome writer’s block. I just shared a link to your post with him – perfect timing!
Well done, Tristan and great to have you back :)
Mavis
Thanks Mavis! You know, I love your comments. You’re always great at making me feel good :) I really appreciate it!
I’m glad you liked the post, and thanks for sharing it with your reader. I also have a free ebook about how to overcome blogger’s block :) http://www.bloggingbookshelf.com/free-ebooks/101-ways-to-battle-bloggers-block-review-and-free-pdf-download-2/
Thanks again!
Tristan,
Excellent article. I love your ideas. This is something that will definitely get my creative thoughts going. First time visitor and I love the site.
Thanks, Roberto! I’m glad you found my blog, and thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment :)
Wow, Tristan! That’s a heckuva list you put together.
I’m very interested in #18 – creating an infographic. I look forward to the announcement of your course later this month. They seem to do such a great job communicating a lot of ideas, and people love to share them.
You could keep a blogger busy for a year writing two posts a week from this list. Great job.
The infographic course is going to be pretty great, if I do say so myself :) There’s nothing else like it.
I’m glad you liked the post, Brad! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I hope you’re having a great week!
You know, the scary thing is, if we all sat down and tried to think of as many ideas as possible, then we’d come up with at least 101 ideas!
Very inspiring Tristan, this will help others to think creatively.
Thanks Stuart :) I really appreciate the kind words, man.
And it really is amazing what you can come up with when you just sit down and think long and hard about it!
Hey Tristan
Here’s one I didn’t see you could add – DECONSTRUCT a video or article and teach why it works. Or doesn’t work. Often we learn the most from analyzing what doesn’t work – and understanding why.
Paul
Ooooh. GREAT idea, Paul. I just added it to the list and gave you a little link love in return :)
Thanks man!
Hey Paul,
Great idea!
I just wanted to step in here and say that I think Dino Dogan from DIYBlogger.net does a fantastic job of de-constructing videos/commercials and so forth.
Hope you don’t mind me jumping in here Tristan :).
Cheers
Useful list of ideas for Blogging. Thanks for posting it
No problem, Robert. Thanks for commenting!
Awesome list Tristan, and great to have you back. Hope you enjoyed your vacation my friend! This is going right into the “Post Ideas” folder as a resource when the idea bank goes dry. MUCH appreciated … this will be useful in any niche.
Best to you,
Scott
Yep, I had a fantastic vacation, Scott. It’s nice to be back at the blog, even though I kind of forgot how much work this blogging thing is!
I’m glad you liked the post, Scott! Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Hey Tristan,
Awesome list! Thanks. I myself hope soon to add a ”fictional tale” or two, every now again on my blog, as I have found a few new writing communities/projects to join. Guess it will be something different for readers – hope they like it! I love writing across all genres and thought it was about time my fiction stories got out of their computer files and got themselves a digital presence!
Hope you had a great holiday!
Mon
Awesome! I just added “Write some fiction” to the end of the list, along with a link back to your blog. Thanks, Monica!
And yep, my holiday was fantastic :)
thank you so much!
i’m going to use quite a few of them.
some of these ideas are old hat,but there are a lot of great new ones in there.
thanks for a excellent write-up.
for post ideas,
how about writing what you\your life would be like if you lived in a different time period\country\reality etc.
That’s a great post idea, Nechama! I just added it to the end of the list, along with a link back to your blog :)
Thanks for the great comment!
Tristan,
This one’s bookmarked brother! You’re just a fountain of inspiration, aren’t you?
What’s cool is that I write for three completely different types of blogs: my inground swimming pool company’s blog, my web consulting blog, and my personal blog that has a spiritual slant……and now my mind is reeling with dozens of your great ideas because they apply to all of the above!
One other thing that’s been effective for us is to focus on the negative aspects of our particular niche since no one else seems to write about them.
Thanks for providing such a valuable resource bud!
Ahhhh… I love hearing that something on my blog is bookmarked :)
When I created this list, I tried to make it as applicable to as many niches as possible, though some of the ideas work better for some niches than others.
I like the idea of focusing on negative aspects of a niche! I just added that to the end of the post and threw a little link love your way.
Thanks Jason!
Wonderful compilation here, sir! I love making gigantic lists of stuff… usually it’s thrown together piece by piece and ends up being and awesome list like this in a few months… but every once in a while I just set my mind to it and go nuts. I can appreciate the work you put into this and can’t wait to sift through this gold mine. Kudos!
-Richard | Life Engineer
Yeah, I’m a sucker for big lists, too :)
Thanks for the kind words, Richard, and I really appreciate you taking the time to comment!
I’ve said this elsewhere on the web, but 101 always sounds so much better than 100. I like the one in which you said “write a manifesto.” Those tend to change planets.
It’s so true! 100 is lame. 101… That’s just sexy.
I’ve been meaning to write a manifesto on the blog here, but haven’t gotten around to it. One of these days…
Great ideas. I’ve already noted some down to try and use in the next couple of weeks. A couple stuck out straight away, so I’ll be using those ones first, trying to get an interview at the moment.
Thanks
Awesome, Simon! I love hearing this kind of feedback :)
Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the great list. I had my notepad file open and was constantly writing down new things I can do, thanks!
Awesome! I’m glad you liked the list, Edwin. Thanks for commenting!
Tristan,
Whew! one hell of a list of Ideas. Some really good stuff. tons of creativity these ideas a lot of good places you could go to make some really good articles. I’m often not pressed for ideas on things to write about but if I ever am I certainly know where you go, now.
I hope you enjoyed your vacation and glad to have you back. :)
Thanks for the kind words, Steve! I love making lists like this. Usually they start out as a list of about 30. After that, it’s fun to just sit down and brainstorm.
And yep, I had a great vacation. It was great to get away for a while, but it’s great to be back, too. But I kind of forgot how much work this whole blogging things is…
I really do love it when you do my thinking for me Tristan, so thanks again. One more for you list is just “go outside.” Amazing what a nice walk can do for the noggin.
Yep, I’m definitely a fan of taking walks. I go on at least a 15 minute walk every day. It’s nice to just get outside and stretch the legs.
And yeah, if you ever need some hardcore thinking done, you know who to turn to :)
Awesome list of ideas Tristan, writing an article not easy task for everyone :). Thanks for sharing.
No problem, Rammesh. Thanks for stopping by and commenting, and I’m glad you liked the post :) I hope you’re having a great week!
Great ideas, at times I feel it difficult to choose the topic on which the blog post has to be written,this would surely help
Great, Ankur! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment.
Hey Tristan,
This is an awesome list. Now I know where to go if I ever get stuck for an idea! Thanks for these ideas!
No problem, Richard. I’m glad you liked the post and found it useful. Thanks for stopping by!
Wow Tristan, what a list. If I had to sit down and think of things to write about I would come nowhere near having as many on my list as you have provided for us. Great tips there and you really got me to thinking. From this day forward I will never ever say again that I can’t think of anything to write about. I can just refer to your list and my brain will start going.
Thanks my friend, awesome list. You impress me more and more every time I visit your blog. I like that about you!
Adrienne
Adrienne, I’ve got to say that you always leave awesome comments. It’s comments like this one that get me really excited about what I do and make me want to work even harder, so thanks so much for that!
I’m glad you liked the post, and thanks so much for commenting!
awesome list! some…well loads i’ve never done before; will def give some of them a go.
Think like mentioned above income /progress reports are one’s I check out almost always, as good to see progress, very inspirational!
Also ‘working’ tactics are share which is worth its weight in gold!
I’m glad you liked the post, Donace. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I hope you’re having a great week!
Tristan my friend, so great to have you back. Hope your batteries are recharged and you’re doing well. This list was great— one big, fat bag of inspiration for future posts…and who doesn’t need that? Personally, I was really down with this little run you had—
# Write about your own journey in your particular niche (how you got started, etc.)
# Write about where your blog was or what you posted 1, 2, or X number of years ago.
# Write about where you’d like your blog to be in the future
# Write about where you were (with regards to your niche) 1, 2, or X number of years ago
# Write about where you’d like to be (with regards to your niche) in the future
# Write about where you see your niche in the future
This little run alone could keep a blogger busy for weeks.
Great stuff bud.
Marcus
Yep, the batts are charged and I’m ready to blog! Except that I kind of forgot how much work blogging is :)
Thanks for the comment and kind words, Marcus. I hope your week’s going well so far!
DUDE!
Bookmarked – totally.
If ever there was a post that deserved to be bookmarked – this is it.
In fact, no other post should ever be bookmarked ever again.
Thanks, thanks a lot Tristan.
PS:~Want to buy a few domains I own, apparently its all over for the rest of us now ;)
Hahaha. Best. Comment. Ever.
Alex. I love ya, man. Your comments always bring a smile to my face. I’m glad you liked the post, and I really appreciate the comment!
Tristan, aloha. Love the list and already have ideas for several blog posts in mind. As it happens, I was already going to start interviewing people from my niche so that will be up soon. Your idea of the FAQ and the use of twitter/facebook as they relate to my niche inspire me. As I post each one, I will be sure to let you know so that you can see the results of your inspiration. Until next time, aloha. Janet
Great, Janet! I’d like to do more interviews in the near future, too. They’re great for everyone involved!
Thanks for the comment, and I hope you’re having a great week!
What an extensive list. I was thinking to myself…”could I put together a list that long”…I came to reality…”why would I do that, when Tristan already hooked it up”.
I tell you man, I’ve pulled several cats out of this hat. Here are two:
Run a contest on your blog
Conduct your own research or case study
Write about your favorite books in your niche
Okay, that was three…but guess what – I have 98 more to pull from!
Thanks – I genuinely appreciate the exhaustive list.
PEACE
Thank you!
Yeah man, I do all the hard work with posts like this so you don’t have to :)
I’m glad you like the list so much! I love making big posts like this. They’re really… fulfilling!
Thanks Jk!
Nice list Tristan. Sometimes you just need a place to start. Thanks!
Thanks, Trevor <3
Great list for new ideas and I usually review softwares or books if I can not find any new ideas for my blog. Thanks
I haven’t done much software reviewing, but it’s something I’d like to do more of. Thanks Tinh!
New to me from your list:
Showcase the best comments that you receive
Make a list of great people to follow on Twitter
My favorite from your list:
Provide templates of some kind
I’d actually be really interested in creating a template offering. Mainly to help people but somewhat for the goodwill of them spreading the word about it. This is an idea I’m going to develop more.
Way to over-deliver yet again!
Thanks for the kind words, Jon :)
Yeah, creating templates is something I’ve done a little bit but I think there’s a LOT of room for it in pretty much every niche. It doesn’t get done very often.
Ya thanks for nice sound Tristan! This types views are much helpful for a blogger. No doubt niche based post always be admired……….
For sure. Thanks for the comment!
I think this post is much helpful for even a new blogger. If he hasn’t any view to right, the suggested 101 tips may be helpful for to write some thing impressive and praiseworthy post…….
Yep, any one of these 101 ideas should do get you a praiseworthy post :)
Tristan, you have a resource for everything don’t you? :) I love this list! The parody/satire one was new for me. I laughed incredibly hard at the “write a hypothetical situation and how you’d react…if Twitter died”. Keep up the awesome work!
Stella, I think I actually did read a post once about what would happen if Twitter suddenly disappeared. But I don’t know what was said in the post :)
Thanks so much for the kind words and great comment!
Great All are need to follow. I also want to add one-”Write what you Feel and its Real which is in turn Explosive your THOUGHT”
Hi Tristan: Wow, thank you very much for this great, UBER-helpful info, haha! It really helps, especially since I’m a bit new at the “new-&-improved” blogging of nowadays. They should be teaching this stuff in school & college! But, like….MANDATORY (this is way better than anything I’ve ever learned in stuff like Rhet & Comp)! Also, I tweeted your link on my Tweetdeck. I am @akrauseavon on Twitter. I’m positive I’ll be coming back to your site…which, by the way, is amazing! & bookmarked! Thanks again!
~Amanda~
Wow! This is huge, why am just finding your blog…I just had to bookmark this.
If you are interested in guest blogging this would definitely be an inexhaustive list to be able to write from…thanks!
Hey Tristan,
This is a fantastic list. Definitely worth bookmarking and coming back to when faced with blogger’s block – and even when not!
Excellent ideas – I’ve tackled a few of them – but now I’ve go boat load more to go :).
Thanks for doing this R2D2 :).
Cheers
Holy crap Tristan! This is a years worth of ideas!! Awesome job.
You definitely have talent. ;-)
Thank you! This is so helpful!
Wow, lots of great ideas. I’m not sure I could critique someone’s blog unless I was being nice :) LOL That could be a whole can of worms LOL
Blessings,
Mel
Please feel free to stop by: Trailing After God
Hi Tristan!
Sweet list!
Now, I’m not sure if this was already in the list, because to be honest, there were so many tips here, that I already forgot some of them :)
Anyway, what about taking a different angles to look at a certain topic?
Also, combining a certain thing in your niche with something completely different in another niche (out-of-the-box thinking)?
A lot of the were new to me that’s why I saved the list in my notepad. Thank you very much for sharing this Tristan!
Awesome! This is by far the best tip I’ve ever come across this week. I’m starting my very own blog site in a few weeks and I’m brainstorming on the possibles ideas to write and here I am with the most useful tip.
Tristan, you’ve left us all awe-struck!
I’ve bookmarked since this will be very very handy as I start to revive my blog that recently moved to WordPress — I had abandoned it for a few months. I intend to just pick a random number from your great list and let the creative juices flow! Thanks.
Thanks to Blogging Book Shelf for bringing me a bundle of such nice post ideas. I think half of them will be new on my blog…. when I will write something on these lines. I have saved these points as a list on my desktop for easy access.
To write reviews about other things in my niche has opened a new sky of blogging for me as I will write many posts with it.
Keep making useful lists for us, your readers!

Thank you posting such an exstenive list of ideas. Your ideas are giving me more ideas. i can’t write them down fast enough. :)
Great list! I have picked up some tips such as Reviews about Latest news, software and gadgets. Thanks
Hi Tristan,
First of all, great post !
Before reading this post, I thought it would be the same old thing that I have read before (Although I do expect unique things form you). But now, I have to tell you that your post is amazing. You just gave me many more ideas to blog on (the ones I haven’t thought about). My personal best in analogies. I love relating analogies and other subject matter (that I learned in school) to blogging. It makes both school work and blogging more fun.
Anyway, thank you for sharing,
Jeevan Jacob John
Have a great weekend !
Hey man it is a great post I just retweeted it.
Hi Tristan, What a list of blogging ideas. I must say that a simple but long list that can be quickly glanced and implement. Thankyou
Hi, i am Mihai and i have one blog about fashion for 6 months now and another one about luxury for men for 2 months. For my fashion blog i am getting some traffic now, but not as much as i want/expected. I am very curious about a few things about your blog:
1. how old is it? :))
2. what percent takes twitter of your total traffic sources?
3. i must admit that i recently discovered your blog(i really don’t remember how, sorry) and i wasn’t able to read many posts, but i read some quality content on your site, but this can’t be the entire secret your using to have so much traffic. I mean, in 30 days you went from 16000 pageviews/day (on average) to 23000. This is huge, my friend and you have all my respect for that :) Sooo, i am very curious how you did it and maybe point some 4-5 very important things that helped you a lot and maybe even your gratest traffic sources.
I really understand if you don’t want to do that, but i was at least trying to find out more :) i was like “wtf? what can i loose?”
So, congrats on your awesome blog again and may everyone who read this blog have a wonderful day :)

Thank you, this is very helpful! I’m always looking for some new ideas. I can be on twitter and FB with no problem but when it comes to blogging I draw a BLANK!

This is all happen coz of you and your post.

Hi Tristan,
I’ve bookmarked this list. Thanks for posting it. After reading it, the ideas are flowing!
Thanks,
Ray
Great list there with some good ideas. Bookmarking this page and check my blog over the next few weeks – might just be borrowing some of those ideas.
Thanks
Damn, your blog is pretty well organized! I’ve got this bookmarked and well definitely reference this particular post many times in my own blog. Thanks a bunch! How did you get the “confirm you are NOT a spammer” link at the bottom? I would relish having that on my own blog!
I like this post. Right away, it gave me an idea for a blog post. Your post just shows writing ideas are out there, however, a blogger needs to draw them out by reading other blogs, forums, and just listening to others on social mediums like Twitter and Facebook. If we do this we will never run out of posts for our blogs. Now, it is time to invest in a notebook, and pen, and write down some of these ideas. They will come…. Thanks for the idea.
great ideas. thanks for sharing. I recently started a blog if anyone would like to check it out. itssarahbarrera.blogspot.com
Sarah
huge list of ideas man, thanks for sharing with us…
Very nice blog post. Even the most passionate blog writers come into writers block every now and then.
Tristan,
Nice list! I came up with 166 but I can tell by looking at your list that you’ve got some other, great ideas (like the hypothetical situation one and how NOT to do something)!

Hi&.
Thanks for sharing this information and resources its really help full for me with the help of this we can improve our blogging or blog design and development I really inspire with this information thanks
Hi Tristan,
I’m pretty new to this blogging thing. I’m a writer, and I have the info about my stories up on my site, but I’m having trouble keeping my posts steady because I have no idea what to keep writing about. Your list was helpful, but I was wondering if you had any ideas an aspiring author could write about. If it’s really any different than what you’ve already posted, that is. How do I draw attention to my site? I’m not involved in any groups or other blogs. I have no clue how to get there either.
Please help!

I bookmarked this for later reference. My blog is just a general blah-blah type blog no specific niche.
Posting a poem you created is really cool for me. I think it gives idea to the readers how the author is creative with words. I appreciate you making this list for us. Thanks!
Awesome list, Tristan! I’ve just finished a blog post on… wait for it… the best lists of blog post ideas I found today when I was researching the subject today – your list well and truly had the most ideas I could use on it.
Thanks for sharing it – I’m really looking forward to devouring your ebooks next :-)
Fabulous! Thanks for the list. :) I never thought of offering free ebooks. Is there a format, template, or specific software you prefer for creating ebooks or do you just write a document then make it a PDF?
Kindest regards,
Brook
Very good list, but some ideas are less interessting than other..
Number 99 will make the other blogger feel that you’re conversing with him or her by sharing your ideas about the post that he or she made. Creating relationships with other blogs which talk about your niche will help you spread out links that direct traffic towards your blog.
That’s quite a list. I ended up spending a lot more time reading this post than what I expected when I landed. Thanks for all the ideas.
Hello admin,
would you be interested in my service where people are able to suggest post ideas for you as the site owner?
Please let me know as it is in early stages and I would definitely love some feedback.
Thanks
Great list, thank you for this valuable ideas.
I especially like this one “Write about common misconceptions that people outside of your niche community have”
Extensive list! Really well done.
I would imagine that it may have taken you a few days? So tell me, What did you where at #55 with no more ideas? Anyway, good job, I’ll take your advice and go write a poem.
I do believe that blog posting is the best way to promote or share your ideas for a particular topic or any products. I will have to check all the ideas as they are really good to see.
Thank you for such a great list. It has sparked several blog ideas for us. We are a husband and wife team, and we take turns writing a weekday blog. I hope you come out with another list some time!
Sincerely,
Ryan and Carrie Sharpe

Awesome article! I’ve linked to your post and have included a few ideas generating tips and techniques of my own at:
http://www.myawesomeblog.com/blogging-tips/how-to-find-and-create-blog-post-ideas
Cool ideas! I want a blog now…About what NOT to do!
I read most of your posts this a.m. and find your style (and thought process) enjoyable. This post particularly is helpful to me as a new Blogger. To me there is no need to Blog daily; I write only when I feel I have something to say. Maybe that’s good, maybe not.
I saved the list of 101 ideas for future reference as I know there will be times when I have nothing to say.
Testing only
Thanks to you, I have a good idea on what to do with blogging! Thanks!
Only for testing.
Wow. I find these advices very helpful.
i’m a newbie in blogging.. and i like this “Make a note to your future self”… it will make me see the “newbie” blogger writing to the “world wide acclaimed blogger” in the future!haha! thanks so much!!Kudos!!
Nice

I recently did a blog post listing my favorite Android Apps. This could be specific to a niche. I blog mostly about crafts, so I could review craft or craft store apps.
Hi Tristan. Thank you so much for this list. I am relatively new to blogging. I started a blog for choreographers and was looking for directions to go. his will help so much!

Thanks

I feel the need to blog about your blog post which blogs about other blog that blogs about your blog. :)
Nice list, Tristan! Though many points you have here are very very familiar to me. But that’s OK. And thank you for the Infoproduct Idea Kit. :)
