How to Research Hot Topic Ideas

for Your Blog in 10 steps

1. Keyword Tool

Let the customers tell you what they want to read, and listen to them.

Use Keywords Research Tools to dig up key phrases that your prospective

customers are currently querying in the Search Engines, so that you can build these words into your blog posts.

Doing this will ensure that your posts will show up at the top of the search

engines when your target customers come searching. Here’s how to go about digging up those hot phrases:

Write 10 keywords around the topics you have in mind, to write on. Next go to Google Keyword Tool and type in your desired keyword >

Choose 5 to 10 most relevant keywords with the highest search volumes.

2. Poll

This is another way to listen to your market needs, but here an even more specific market – your own readers and subscribers.

If they ask from you, they are more likely to read it – and you gain their loyalty. You know it’s hard to get a few first time readers and so whatever you can do to keep the ones you already have happy, do it fast.

Ask your readers and /or subscribers for what they’d like to read about. Find the questions asked by most people, to get an idea of the most

recurring areas of needs. You can leave this question on your side bar or send it to subscribers via

email.

3. Amazon.Com

Knowing the books your target customers are buying the most will give you an idea of the kind of topic your prospective customers would be

most interested in reading.

Use your keywords to search for best-selling books on Amazon.Com. Note

what the topics are on. Read the reviews to get an insight of why the readers like the books – those are hot buttons and should give you ideas

current market / readers’ needs to blog about.

4. Forums The forum is a very good way to enter the minds of your target

customers. This is because many people go to the forums looking to get

insights on issues from others who “know better, from experience”. They come asking questions and seeking advice, to enable them make

decisions.

There are two ways to do this. The first is visiting the known Forums and the second is letting Google lead you to Forums discussing topics on your

keywords.

Forums can give you an idea of what your prospect is thinking of, the

questions they are asking, the problems they need to solve. Those are “unfilled needs” and you can write posts to address them, so that your

post can have a chance to show up when someone is searching for answers on that.

Method 1: Visit 5 to 10 popular forums in your niche. Search for the

most active topics with the most responses. Go in there and read through the posts to get ideas – what questions are recurring among the forum

posters? What words are recurring? The posters asking questions could

just be your readers and your readers may be having the same problems and interested in the answers you can provide.

Method 2: Google Search under Discussions. You’ll find results from

forums and groups.

Type your key phrases in to Google Search box. Then click “Discussions”

on the left side bar, under “Everything”. Next scan about 5 or more forum and/or group websites in search results.

How would you find hot topic ideas? Look out for topics with high number of views and / or replies; observe recurring patterns, words and

terms. Those are hot topic ideas on unmet market needs.

After this you can go do some research and blog a response on the topics

and even come back to the forums to provide quality answers to the forum questions, thus showing off your “expertise” subtly. Many forum

members would certainly trail you back to your blog URL in your signature.

5. Other Blogs

Other peoples’ blogs are good sources of writing inspiration. The idea here is to follow the leaders and trend-setters in your niche. Follow but do not

copy their works.

What do I mean here? Take a timeframe of the past 30 days and see

“what’s hot in the leaders’ circle”, what’s trending in the top blogs in your niche.

That should give you an idea of “what’s hot” in the market. This is a lazy

man’s way to piggy-back on those that “everyone knows” always put forward their writings only when they have done a proper market

research.

There are three ways to do this. You can either start from the popular

blogs you know of in your niche and/ or let Google or Technorati tell you the blogs writing posts on your keywords.

Method 1: Start from the known. Visit and scan 5 to 10 blogs that are

popular in your niche.

Look out for posts within the past 30 days. Are there any recurring,

similar trends in their posts? If so, that should give you an idea of what’s trending and hot topic ideas.

Method 2: Technorati.com Blog search

Type in your keywords into the search box of Technorati and Hit “Search”

Click “Click to refine this search“ and you will see results displayed as in the image below

Ensure to refine your search by selecting “Posts” and “Blogs”

You may want to play around with the High, Medium, Low and Any Authority – from the drop down menu

Next choose to “sort results by date” Go to the search page where you’ll find posts at least 30 days old

Look at the posts and the number of comments they have. Pay attention to posts with lots of comments. The posts with very few comments

indicate topics readers are not very interested in. Now, take a few of the most related posts with the most comments, say 5

to 10 of them Read the comments, scan for readers questions and recurring patterns in

the comments. Identify recurring excitements – what are most readers

expressing excitement and gratitude for, with regards to the post. These are pointers to what your readers would like to read about.

Method 3: Google Search Blogsearch

Type in the Google Blogsearch URL in to your browser’s address bar Enter your key phrases and hit the “search” button Search for posts within the past month to see the top ranking blogs in

your niche Scan the first 10 blogs in the top results

Identify trending terms and popular topics

Remember, you are looking for trending terms, for hot topic ideas.

Commenting on the top 10 blogs for your keywords is another good way to get backlinks.

6. Google Search

You can play around the Google Search options to find hot topic ideas.

Explore the following Google Search features:

Blogs Videos News

Discussions: You’ll find results for discussions in forums, groups, answer sites such as Yahoo Answers etc.

Books

You can also filter your search by date, for instance select a category and sort by pat months (i.e. past 30 days).

So much ways to filter your search and dig deeper…

7. Yahoo Answers

What are people asking about, that is related to your niche? Go to Yahoo Answers.com and search for your keywords.

Remember to look out for what many people are asking. If many people

are asking, it suggests that you can step in to provide answers on your blog – to get found when more people search for answers on that

question.

8. Article Directories

Ezine Articles is the biggest article directory and it would give you a good

insight into what is hot in your market.

Go to ezinearticles.com and type in your keyword. You may also want to check under the category of your market.

Look out for posts of 30 days old or more. Use the same method as above to find the hottest topics authors (in your market) are writing about, and

that readers are showing most interest in via comments?

9. Your Blog Comments

Your comments section might also help you find inspiration for

new posts. Readers’ comments and questions in the comments section

can provide you insights and inspirations on what to blog about. Respond

to commenters’ questions and concerns. Doing this will help you learn

more about your readers wants and sometimes get you going out of your

comfort zone to research and find answers to satisfy your loyal readers.

10. Your Stats

What are your stats telling you?

What posts are most popular? An indication that if you write more posts or serialize the popular posts, you’ll get lots of readers.

What search terms are leading many people to your blog? What posts are being read by most visitors from the search engines?

What posts are least popular? Can you jazz them up or optimize them in

anyway to bring attention to them?

Maybe the title is not attention grabbing? The title many make an

interesting topic look drab from afar? · What posts are bringing the most comments?

· What posts are getting lots of retweets?

You stats give you an indication of what to keep doing and what you

need to optimize.

Finally…

Thanks for reading. I hope you’ll take action to dig out hot writing ideas for your readers. This is very important because you want to be able to

give them exactly what they want so that they’ll always come back for more, and even tell others about your blog.

Once your blog readership keeps growing, you’ll find be motivated to keep researching more hot topics for writing inspirations and you’ll never

run out of topic ideas again.

Writing on the exact topics that more people in your market are searching for would provide you the best opportunity to be visible in the search

engines. You know that more visibility equals more traffic and more sales, and of course more cash.

You can let your friends have a chance to also read this post by
