For many who blog, coming up with topics to write about is often the hardest when you’re\u00a0first starting out. It takes a while to know what people respond it — and to then fall\u00a0into an idea-generating rhythm.<\/p>\n

Later, when you’ve been blogging for a couple of years, you might be stumped again, wondering\u00a0if you’ve covered everything relevant already.<\/p>\n

If you’ve spent more time than you’d like wondering\u00a0what to write about recently, you will\u00a0welcome the Blog Topic Generator<\/strong><\/a> tool from HubSpot.<\/p>\n

It is incredibly easy to use.<\/p>\n

All you need are 3 words<\/h3>\n

Simply type three words you want to blog about — preferably nouns — into the form, select “give me blog topics,” and see what happens.<\/p>\n

Naturally, the software isn’t perfect and you might\u00a0have to tweak the resulting topics a bit, but geez, on some days it sure beats thinking!<\/p>\n

I gave it a try, using these words:<\/p>\n

\n
1. blog<\/li>\n
2. topic<\/li>\n
3. ideas<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   and here’s what I got:<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

   <\/a>The words I selected for my test were weak (if not dumb), so the results aren’t as specific as they need to be. That’s my fault. Even so, I can still do a lot with this list.<\/p>\n

   Here’s how I might adjust those topics so they work for me:<\/p>\n

   \n
   • 5 tools everyone in the book marketing industry should be using<\/li>\n
   • 10 things your competitors can teach you about book marketing<\/li>\n
   • 10 quick tips for book marketing<\/li>\n
   • The history of book marketing<\/li>\n
   • 14 common misconceptions about book marketing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     Productive, right?<\/p>\n

     Test #2 — better!<\/h3>\n

     This first test gave me an idea of how the software works, which helped me do a better job with my second test. For that one, I entered my three favorite topics:<\/p>\n

     \n
     1. book marketing<\/li>\n
     2. book promotion<\/li>\n
     3. book publicity<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The results are pretty cool:<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        <\/a>Would I have ever paired Miley Cyrus with book publicity?\u00a0Probably not — but I see the potential in “Miley Cyrus and book publicity: 10 surprising things they have in common” and might just give it some thought.<\/p>\n

        The lists generated by this cool tool can be used for newsletter and magazine articles, or for free downloads you offer subscribers to your e-mail list<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n

        The potential is impressive, so give it a try<\/a> and tell us\u00a0what you think in the comments here. Do you have other tools or strategies\u00a0for generating blog topics? Please share them here.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
