The purpose of doing this isn’t to copy these elements, but to gain better insight into what readers appreciate in a quality blog.

• What topic should you cover

Before you write anything, pick a topic you’d like to write about. The topic can be pretty general to start as you find your desired niche in blogging. Some ways to choose topics to cover include asking yourself questions like:

• Who do I want to write to?
• How well do I understand this topic?
• Is this topic relevant?

Brainstorm blog topics

Rather than trying to find the perfect topic right away, start by jotting down different ideas that come to mind. Once you find some interesting ideas online, think about the unique ways you can approach those topics. Consider the various ways you can play around with topic ideas to come up with something that is not only trendy and relevant, but also original and fresh.
