Holiday Blog Topic Ideas

Some clients complain about their struggles to find blog topic ideas for their weekly posts. That’s understandable, since most of them are so busy with their business, they won’t want to set aside time to put together a post.

But when you sit down and think about your content marketing strategy, it’s not really that difficult. It just takes a little thought … and the willingness to tip your cap to the holidays.

A great building block is to plug in the holidays on your calendar. Start with Christmas and New Year’s Day, then start working backwards. There’s Thanksgiving, Veteran’s Day, Halloween, even Columbus Day and Labor Day.

That’s seven holidays and seven blog post ideas right there for the final 16 weeks of the year. Your brainstorming session is almost over for the last four months of the calendar.

Just keep listing the holidays and you’ll soon have tons of topics. The Fourth of July. Juneteenth. Memorial Day. Veteran’s Day. Easter. President’s Day. MLK Day. St. Patrick’s Day. Valentine’s Day. Mother’s Day. Father’s Day.

That’s 12 more. That gives you 19 blog topic ideas right there!

You can even mine gold from such lesser-known holidays like Arbor Day or Groundhog Day or Super Bowl Sunday (which isn’t a holiday … yet).

If you get stumped, a good site to reference is NationalToday.com. This website is broken down by date. Who would have known that the day this post is being written (June 21) that we should be celebrating National Selfie Day, National Take Your Dog to Work Day, National Wagyu Beef Day and National Day of the Gong – which is unfortunately not the same as the birthday of Chuck Barris, the longtime host of “The Gong Show,” who was born on June 3.

Here’s the point: There is no shortage of blog post ideas. You just need to think about it and write them down. Now do it.
