Blogging has been around for many years. But due to the covid-19 pandemic, Blogging has dramatically increased in numbers. This is since the majority of us are stuck at home doing repetitive tasks. Some do the Tiktok (count me in), some managed to enhance their skill via online learning courses, some are working from home. Blogging is different. It can be a stress reliever; it can be a passion worth trying or it can be a new source of income.

Whatever your reasons for starting your blog, I bet you are also worried about what articles or topics you want to write next. Or wanted to know what topics turn a reader into followers.

As there are no rules that dictate what one should write about, in this article I will discuss the 5 Compelling topics that I think every blogger should write about. I completed the list not by looking at the perspective of the Blogger but rather, from the perspective of the reader. Not as a Driver but a passenger. Not a leader but a follower.

I am more than a reader than a Blogger in this article.

As such, I wanted to read more articles that somewhat touch my soul. Something that gains my respect and appreciation. Something worth telling to others. And Something that can easily be reminded of the name of the blogger.

5 Easy and Compelling natural topics every Blogger should head about ASAP

1. Personal

Blogging is a way to also let your readers know who you are. Readers tend to feel connected to a blogger if one or more articles are written in a personal way. You can write about anything but make sure it gives meaning not to yourself but your readers. It should be written in a way that your followers can get a pretty good picture of who you are as a person and as a human being. Connecting yourself to readers this way attracts followers that want to get to know you more. Your daily routine or habits can also become your article as this imply that you are also an ordinary person that does the laundry, the cooking, or the one who gets up at 4 am daily.

2. Inspirational

We all have ups and downs in our life. Either we learn something the easy way or we learned it the hard way. Whichever way, I know we can write about it for others not to commit the same mistakes or for others to make it a guiding light on whatever struggles or obstacles they are in at the moment. When we write something to this effect, it is also beneficial for us since we also accept that things do happen for a reason and that what matters most is how we deal with it, how we stand up to move forward, and on how we strive to overcome.

3. Informative

Regardless of educational background, bloggers should also write informative topics. It is completely acceptable to write about e-commerce, machine learning, or artificial intelligence if you really are into it. It is also completely acceptable if you write things like how to maximize potential profit, marketing strategies, or digital marketing. We can also write about things that happen in your community that you think your reader appreciates. Small informative articles about new traffic routes, ways to take care of indoor plants, or the key points to do during a work from home scenario. All informative articles big or small will become handy to readers.

4. Happiness

I separated Happiness with Inspirational because I wanted to make it sure you understand that inspirational article can be a source of happiness, I want to point out that topics regarding Happiness are those that really make your reader smile, wink, laugh while reading your article. They can also retell your article/story to their family, friends, or colleague that would surely ripple the happiness around them.

5. True Story

True stories are those that might also come from personal experience or has been told to you in a manner that touches all the different angles. It may also be a story you are with when you are in college, your first day at work, how you aced the interview, the day the love of your life said yes, or a story of how you manage to accept the fact that you can write and tell the world about it. All true stories should be clear, precise, and accurate for the reader to actually feel that it is a true story. Readers will definitely notice if a blogger adds anything just to make the story readable.

Going along these 5 Compelling topics as a blogger only means that there are still more topics that we can write to our readers. Don’t think of viral topics when you are starting. Going viral is beyond the blogger's hand. Going viral is for the readers to decide. So instead of thinking about being viral, why not be a natural person who happens to write clearly that inspires, motivates, educates, and entertains readers across all walks of life.

as always, I appreciate your claps. :)
