longevity in any business. Depending on your audience, you could exchange “in shape”

even more so when there are comments from someone who’s deep within the field. This is 

your chance to grab a ton of traffic while also positioning yourself as an authority!

22. New Product Launch 

Here’s a great marketing tactic and blog-post idea! Create a pre-launch post of your 

product/service and give them a big nice taste of what it’s all about. Then follow it up with 
the launch post itself. This will hype your launch up big time, while also bringing value 

and preparing them for it. 

Some examples could be: 

● Announcement: Email Marketing is Dead - The Future of Marketing is Here! 

● Launching our Latest Book (Preview Inside!) 

● The Ultimate Digital Marketing Course Launch 

● Coaching Now Available! 

23. Celebrate An Anniversary 

Making your blogging personal is key. As with most things in life, there will be ups and 

down. Share those! It will make you more human and relatable, while also offering 

solutions to your downs. With an Anniversary post you get to look back at what has been 

(for your blog, business, service etc), summarize it and share your lessons learned with 

success earned. 

Some examples could be: 

● 5 Year Anniversary Summary! 

● 3 Years of Coaching Today - Lessons Learned 

● 2 Years as Course Creators 

● 3 Years Since the Book Release - the Results are In 

24. Special Announcement Post 

This sort of post could work as a reminder or marketing tool for anything that may be 

coming up. You’ll want to use these posts to write about things that you may not normally 

write of. Or things that may happen infrequently. 

Some examples could be: 

● Attention! Blogg-Con is Coming Up! 

● We’re Getting Featured! 

● My First Presentation Happens Next Week 

● Our First Ever Webinar! 

25. Year In Review 

Similarly to celebrating an anniversary, except now we’ll be summarizing the entire year in 

its totality! If you’re a business owner, you’ll want to summarize the ups and down, and 

finalize it with the lessons you’ve learned and grown from. Similarly if you’re a blogger, 

except that you’ll likely want to attach your top blog posts while analysing why they 

became so popular, and what has happened since. These posts tend to be VERY popular for 

your already existing audience! 

Some examples could be: 

● 2018 Review - Lessons Learned 

● 2017 Ups and Down - What’s Happaned & What’s Next 

● 2019 Summarized 

● A Look Back at 2016 

26. Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Yearly Goals 

This is a big one! Similarly to the experiments posts, everyone loves to watch others both 

succeed and fail, since it gives them valuable feedback on what to do without actually 

having to do anything. Set some goals while following them up with your progress! This 

could be daily updates with a monthly goal, or weekly updates with a yearly goal etc. 

Some examples could be: 

● 25lbs in 50 days - Day 10

27. Tips For Beginners 

Everyone loves short, quick, concise and actionable tips from people who’ve been in the 

trenches for longer than themselves. This could be all tips from you or summarized from 

others as well. Bullet-point lists list tends to work very well here. 

Some examples could be: 

● 10 Tips to Start Blogging Today 

● 5 Tips for Easier Yoga 

● 15 Time Management Methods You’re Not Using 

● 7 Tips for Successful Marketing 

28. Insider Interviews 

A perfect opportunity to get viewpoints from inside the niche, that doesn’t come from you! 

Do you have employees? Interview them! Are you getting help from anyone? Interview 
him/her! Got any particularly dedicated readers? Interview them! You could make the 

interview a “behind the scenes” for your own business, or more so about the niche itself 

from someone else's perspective. 

Some examples could be: 

● How I Manage My Time (SPOILER: I Don’t Do it Alone) 

● Blogging Design Tips You Didn’t Know Was Important 

● An Interview With My Coach 

● The Team Shares Their Thoughts! 

29. Q&A Blog Post 

These posts are SO easy to create while also so valuable! While potentially completely 

evergreen, they also tend to be trendy at the same time. I recommend asking your 

audience for question, scouring the comments section or if you don’t have traffic yet, 

google “​(your niche) F

​ AQ” and Google will provide you with the most commonly asked 

questions. 

Some examples could be: 

● Make Money Online Q&A 

● Successful Blogging Q&A 

● Freelancing Q&A 

● Setting Up a Business Q&A 

30. Warning! Don’t Make These ​‘X’​ Mistakes! 

This is a real attention grabber! Completely depending on what you have to say and who 

your audience is, be careful with using such a strong headliner. While extremely effective, 

if it doesn’t feel justified to the audience it may end up frustrating them for being 

“click-baited”. Make sure to bring a TON of value here and make it worth their time and 

click! 

Some examples could be: 

● Warning! Don’t Make These Blogging Mistakes! 

● Warning! Don’t Make These Marketing Mistakes! 

● Warning! Don’t Make These Business Mistakes!
