What Topic For A Blog

It's the jackpot of the blogging world. Find trending blog topics and ride the wave of popularity. Is it down to luck or is there a sure-fire way of spotting trends?

Read on for a list of 115 trending blog topics updated for 2021. Use the list right now for your blog topics and posts. This list is current at the time of writing and based on Pinterest Predicts 2021 – a go-to set of trends for any on-the-pulse blogger.

Trends come and go, and to stay on track it will be important to seek out hot new topics as the year progresses. I've added some suggested sources – you can use these for your own research to be one of the first to spot the latest trends for 2021…

All these blog topic ideas are based on sound money-making niches such as home decor or health and fitness. Niches that pander to our aspirations. You can find a more detailed list of the types of blogs that make money in my Ultimate Start A Blog Guide.

In the blogging world, not all niches are equal and some are easier to monetize, but the basic principle is to write about popular topics.

Find a trending subject, promote for free on Pinterest, learn some SEO and you're on your way to making your first blogging income…

The world is in a very strange place at the moment and although we all hope things will get better for 2021, we're looking at a new normality.

That doesn't mean you can't start a blog or continue to write for an existing blog. It's a great time to be blogging! People are spending a lot more time online and this will continue into 2021. We all need blogs right now and new material to keep us occupied!

Trending blog topics tend to be the new ideas that come almost out of nowhere. Pinterest Predicts helps spot these new trends but doesn't highlight the existing big topics, for example, bread making is always popular but just isn't trending.

Here are a few main topics that were big in 2020 and will continue to be important for 2021…

Health and fitness.

My lifestyle blog traffic grew phenomenally in 2020 reflecting everyone's sudden interest in being fitter and healthier. I write about running, walking and healthy living. All of these are popular topics and I expect the interest in healthy living will continue.

The current pandemic is a big wake-up call to improve your fitness, quit smoking, and lead a healthier lifestyle. These are always popular topics and I expect they will continue to be big in 2021.

Work from home

Work from home was a massive trending topic in 2020 – no prizes for guessing this one. You can see the big jump in Pinterest trends.

The emphasis changed for this "work from home" keyword. Instead for ways to make money from home, people wanted to know how to set up their home office. How to fix up standing desks and connect up to Zoom meetings.

I expect this "work from home" trend will continue into 2021 but we'll be back to it's original meaning – how to make money from home. It's hard to have to say it but job losses and financial uncertainly will leave people looking for side hustles and start up business ideas.

Food

In a crisis, after stock piling toilet paper, the world's focus turned to food. Home cooking continues to be huge right now out of necessity.

Food will always be a big topic. If you can come up with on trend recipes and take great pictures, you have a winning format for a food blog.

In the UK, baking has been big ever since the great British Bake Off launched and people are currently turning to cakes and treats to cheer themselves up.

Travel blogs

Whenever a big catastrophic event happens there are winners and losers. Travel blogs completely died in early 2020 but some savvy bloggers managed to make a comeback by blogging about travel at home.

It will take time before international travel becomes accessible again. Meanwhile travel bloggers can still do well with posts about day trips, staycations and exploring local outdoor places.

Home schooling

Home schooling is here to stay. Some parents continue to home schooling out of necessity but there's every chance some parents will enjoy the experience and continue home schooling as life returns to a new normal.

I expect it will continue to be a growth area for the next few years especially for young children. (You'd have to be really committed to home school teenagers).

DIY and crafts

Lots of people at home with time on their hands equalled a big boom in DIY and crafts in 2020. There's no sign of this trend letting up for 2021. I wonder how many people are painting their houses right now!

I suspect we will all be watching our budgets this year and any money saving craft or DIY ideas will be welcome!

Diet blogs

Love them or hate them, I sure 2021 will be a good year for diet blogs. Not everyone spent their time in lockdown on a health and fitness trend and there's a lot of chatter about losing lockdown weight gain.

Diet blogs may have been a little quiet through 2020 but I'm sure for 2021 they will be back in vogue again.

Gardening

Gardening is consistently popular but in 2020 it surpassed all expectations. People who previous had zero interest in gardening were using their spare time to grow stuff.

It's a great time to start a gardening blog.

Survival

A little too obvious adding this one? Top of the agenda for 2020 and likely to continue as a hot topic for 2021.

Beauty

At the moment, as beauty salons close, open and close again, beauty hacks at home continue to be popular. Top of the list are budget hacks as we all look for ways to stay beautiful on a diminishing budget.

Personal finance

Just like work from home, personal finance blogs will be popular in 2021. I hate to be pessimistic but the financial outlook is gloomy. People want budgeting tips and hacks to make their money go further.

Focus on realistic ideas that are helpful to your audience. Save them money and they'll be back for more.

In many ways there are a lot of similarities between this new list for 2021 and the list I put together for 2020. Then we were yearning for de-stressing and adding meaning to our modern lives. Trends for a simpler life.

Back in late December 2019 I wrote "looking at trends around the home there's a good chance some of us will never leave the house in 2020. Garden rooms, home theatres and working from home are all strong trends". Did Pinterest know something we didn't!

Focus on the home continues strongly for 2021 – this time out of necessity. I suspect these trends may get a shake up during the year as the world starts to (hopefully) open up again. Keep an eye out for updated ideas with Pinterest trends.

So there you have it! 115 blog ideas to help you answer what to blog about! Some of these ideas can be blog posts to write straightaway or topics you can use for your blogging niche.

It's far easier to capture an audience with a clearly defined niche. Just because it's a niche doesn't mean it can't have a huge audience. Just think, a niche such as home-made bread, gets 1 million+ searches on Pinterest a year!

Successful Niche Blogs

The site Reptile Centre has been going since 1995, so the reptile trend is certainly not a new concept. Being on-trend just means the site can expect a really good year in 2021.

Some of the ideas on this list are more niche than others. The trend for minimalism comes and goes and has been around for years. A specific personalising your clothing blog is certainly more risky. It's better to start a niche blog about indie fashion and write a few posts about personalising your clothing in with your other fashion material.

Think about yourself as the reader. Is this a topic that could become a major interest or hobby, such as outdoor exploration? Or is it more of a one-off – something like creating art from everyday objects?

By all means, hop on a trend but for real success make sure there's sufficient long-term interest for when the trend starts to fade.

It's a gamble. If you rush out and start a blog about quilted fashion looks tomorrow, the trend may have passed by the time your blog is established. Real trendsetters will be writing about topics months before they hit the Pinterest Trending list.

Here are a few alternative sources if you're serious about being on trend:

Google Trends

Checking out the daily search patterns is just a bit overwhelming. Google's Year In Search is more enlightening. You can also search in trends for your chosen niche. There's no prizes for guessing "how to cut men's hair at home" is the top beauty how-to for 2020.

Quora

Want to know what questions people are asking? Quora is a good place to look. Search for a topic and a list of questions will appear. Pick out the recent results a high number of answers.

Exploring sub-reddits is a great way to find the trending issues people care about in your chosen niche. It's an excellent market research tool. Used with discretion, you can get direct feedback on ideas for your niche.

Answer The Public

Want to know the questions people are asking right now? Answer The Public is a free resource providing the questions people are currently asking for any keyword.

Pick a question and turn it into a blog topic for amazing results. It's worked for me and I'm sure it can work for you too!

Google

Just type your topic into Google directly. Scroll down and find the People Also Ask box. Just like Answer The Public, these are questions people are searching for right now.

Google may be a little slower to respond and update than Pinterest and other social media channels, but it's still an excellent source of information for your next blog post.

Pinterest Monthly Trends

Every month Pinterest comes up with some ideas for trending topics. These results are often bang up-to-date although expect fast-changing trends in these uncertain times.

Conclusion – Picked Your Blog Topic? What Comes Next…

Don't take too long choosing a topic. The best bit about blogging is it's okay to fail. The worse thing you can do is never start.

Pick a blog topic and follow my Ultimate Start A Blog Guide to make a success of 2021.
