Blog post Types

Listicle

A listicle is a list of items explained in the form of a blog post. These are very popular for 2021. You’ll see listicles created as part of the famous “Best X for Y blogs.” These can be a numbered list or general bullet point list.

This blog post is an example of a listicle as well as a pillar post. 

Here are 3 examples of listicles.

  • The best Facebook groups for bloggers
  • The Best WordPress themes for bloggers
  • The best notetaking apps.

Keyword research can be used to find more topics. You can use Google auto-suggest and type Best * for * to see a long list of recently searched keywords and phrases.

Pillar Post

A Pillar post is a long-form, in-depth informational article. Also referred to as a skyscraper post, a Pillar post generally has 2000 – 3000 words and many separate paragraphs with headings that serve as subtopics for the main topic. 

Pillar Post Examples:

  1. How to make money with Youtube Superchat
  2. Ghostwriter for hire
  3. Affiliate marketing for beginners
  4. The best way to start a blog

Question and Answer Post

A blog post that asks a question in the title and answers that question in the text’s body is a favorite among bloggers who focus on ranking on Google with SEO. 

Because questions are frequently typed into Google, having a blog that answers the question can generate search engine traffic. 

You can also create a FAQ on any blog. If you are using the YOAST SEO Plugin, the FAQ content block with schema markup is a great choice. 

Question Post Examples

  1. What is Knack?
  2. What is Keap?

Product Review Posts

Search engines today are often used for researching a product, book, movie, or other item or service before making a decision. 

Therefore, many bloggers create a series of review style blog posts to satisfy the searchers intent. Often, they do the product review and include their affiliate link to earn a commission.

Examples of Product Review style Posts

  1. Is Yoast Premium Worth It?
  2. Writer access Review

How-To Tutorial Posts

If there is anything that you can teach in a step by step process, then you can create a tutorial-style blog post.

A tutorial-style blog post can contain video, images, graphics, audio, written step by step, or a combination of any of the aforementioned formats.

Samples of Tutorial Posts:

  1. How to set up the Essence Pro theme on WordPress.
  2. SEO content writing tutorial
  3. How to write a blog post on WordPress
  4. How to remove the background of a photo
  5. How to make money on Instagram

This vs. that Posts

One of my personal favorites, this vs. that posts are very popular for 2021. If someone types a search into Google wanting to compare 2 products, most often a ‘this vs. that’ blog is offered on the search engine results page (SERP).

You can compare products, services, activities, places, or just about anything else you can think of. These types of blogs can be very lucrative when publishing display ads or including affiliate links.

Youtube videos are also created in this category and do well.

Examples of This vs. That posts:

  1. Ezoic vs. Monumentric
  2. Thinkific vs. Teachable
  3. Bluehost vs. Wix

A Day in the Life Of

People love to take a virtual peek inside the life of someone they want to model. In many niches, documenting what a day looks like for that niche can be both insightful and entertaining to the viewer.

This can be done in an autobiography format, an interview style blog or video format, or a blog post series that strings together many individual posts featuring different professions or people.

For Example:

  • A day in the life of a Japanese Delivery Driver. [see video]
  • A day in the life of a Harvard student [see video]
  • A day in the life of a chef [read blog]

Case Studies

Case studies are blog posts that share the results of some sort of experiment, project, or test. Some examples of case studies would be:

  • A documentation series based around starting a niche website
  • Following the journey of a particular type of investment
  • A blog post explaining how you increased your website by 20%.
  • A series of blog posts documenting training a new hire using a particular type of software
  • A blog post explaining how you tried fasting for 7 days and what the results were.

Personal Blog Posts

Personal blog posts can bring life to an otherwise unbranded website. Adding in a personal post from time to time can create a boost to the brand. Personal blog post are a great opportunity to inspire the reader.

Here are some examples of personal posts.

  • Announcements [Getting married, having a baby, Moving]
  • I’m sorry posts
  • I failed at [x] and here’s what I learned
  • My personal journey with [challenge]

Blog Post Ideas by Niche

Every niche offers the opportunity to compare products, create listicles, build tutorials, and more. Many bloggers, however, don’t know what to write about.

I took the time to compare some of the most popular niches and create a list of blog topic ideas for you. If you need help writing your blog content, I have a list of ghostwriters here.

Small Pet Blog Post Ideas

In this niche, the Will, How, Why, Can questions are very popular. Starting out with a Q & A blog in the small pet niche can generate traffic from Google if your blog posts rank. Your target audience is the small pet owner and it’s important to solve that audience’s challenges with small pet ownership.
