4. Steal Ideas from Competitors
This is also another technique, which I am using and believe me its master technique. It has many advantages.
1- Check your competitors blog daily
2- Check their site for which posts they are ranking and you wrote on the same topic but much better than your competitor. You can find keyword ranking positions through SEMRUSH.
3- Select any big player’s blog of same niche and check and find the unanswered questions from comment section of popular posts. Because such types of bloggers are very busy so they can’t answer all. Steal those questions and make your post decently. This is one the easiest method of selecting new blog post ideas.
5. Using Most Shared Content Analytics Tools
There are many tools that tell you which post is shared most on social networks. Like Buzzsumo, it is a social analytics tool that measures the popularity of content based on specific search criteria. And my favorite tool is BuzzSumo and Medium in this category. Here you can filter your topic by time and type of article.
