The 14 lessons I’m going to share are the exact things that helped me [build a $13,000+ per month making blog](. So make sure to read each email and implement the lessons to succeed in blogging. In this email, you’re going to learn how to get endless topic ideas for your blog posts. There are many ways to find blog post ideas including competitor research, identifying trending topics, asking your audience, etc. But there’s ONE thing that ALWAYS works no matter what niche you’re in and that is “Keyword Research”. The ONLY way we come up with new ideas for BloggersPassion is through keyword research. We don’t publish a single blog post without conducting keyword research. So let’s talk about how you can perform keyword research to generate unlimited blog post ideas. Here are a few FREE ways to find great keywords. - Using Google Autosuggest - Using Quora - Using Q&A sites like Answer The Public, AlsoAsked.com, etc - Using YouTube videos for ideas I’m NOT going to talk about any specific keyword tool (we often use Semrush) but we’ll discuss a simple 3-step strategy to conduct keyword research. That way you can literally use any tool to find better keywords in your niche. Step 1: Make a list of seed keywords relevant to your niche First things first: you need a list of broad content ideas (called “seed keywords”) that are highly relevant to your industry. For instance, if you’re running a fitness blog, then seed keywords might be: - Abs workout - Workouts at home - Fitness equipment Remember, the seed keywords are NOT your primary keywords. They can be used as “seeds” for the next steps in this process. Here are some of the simple ways to come up with seed keywords; - Research your competitors' websites (and find their popular posts) - Brainstorm all the topics that are relevant to your niche - Use sites like Quora or YouTube to find interesting topics in your industry Step 2: Find related search terms Once you have a list of seed keywords, you can start finding related search terms. If you’re a beginner, you can start with Google Autosuggest. Here’s an example seed keyword; You can simply add any letter or modifier to expand the seed keyword. Have a look; You can keep expanding that list with related searches which are shown by Google at the end of the SERP page. Here’s what it looks like; You can again expand the related searches by picking any of those keywords (let’s say “WordPress themes”) to find even more related searches. See that? Within a minute, as you can see we now already have a TON of topics and keyword ideas. Well… it’s not over yet. Step 3: Expand each keyword with a list of “question phrases” you think your customers use You can expand each keyword with question-based keywords. Question-based keywords can be used in your FAQ section (that’s where we use them on our blog) to drive more traffic from Google. Here’s how you can find question keywords. You can use a free tool like AlsoAsked.com to easily find question keywords. Just enter any topic or seed keyword and it will show you a list of all the question keywords that are relevant to the topic. Have a look at the question keywords for the example keyword “WordPress tools”. See that? You can use these question keywords in your FAQs section to optimize your content in a better way. So there you go. That’s how you can conduct keyword research for FREE to find unlimited topic ideas in your niche.
