Something that has helped me immensely during my blogging journey is planning out my content. Having a list of blog post ideas on hand is an amazing resource and saves so much time. Even if I never write all of those posts, having a cache of post ideas on hand majorly reduces any anxiety or stress I may feel about creating content.
To make things a bit easier for you, I’ve compiled this mega list of Book Blog Post Ideas and a list of resources for creating beautiful content. I’ve also included some of the sites I use to help me refine my ideas and do keyword research.
If you use any of these ideas, I would absolutely love to read your post so please link it in the comments 🧡
Blogging Resources
A really useful website for post ideas that relate to current holidays or celebrations is Days of Note. Here you will find all daily, weekly and monthly celebrations no matter how small or wacky. For post ideas specific to your niche, Pinterest is an amazing site to search. Just type your topic into the search bar and you will get a wealth of posts people have created inspired by this topic that you can put your own spin on. You can also use Soovle to search your topic or niche and it will give you a list of searches people have been making related to that term on several search engine sites including Google and YouTube. Bloglovin’ is another amazing site to browse for blog posts. You can create a feed on Bloglovin’ of blogs or topics you love and explore what people are saying about whatever it is you are researching.
Free Images and Videos for your Blog
There are several fantastic sites for free stock photography that you can use on your blog. WordPress has Pexels built-in so you can easily use their images but I find their library a bit lacking. My favourite place to get images is Unsplash followed closely by Rawpixel. Pixabay is another great resource and Freepik is a great place for graphics. Rawpixel has amazing graphics as well many with the white background removed to make it easier to use them. Canva also has a library of images, graphics, video and music that you can use for free to create all kinds of things for your blog. I’m not a big fan of the photos they have on Canva but the graphics library is really good.

Thanks for sharing these fantastic ideas! I’ve found now that I’m working full time, I unfortunately don’t post anything but book reviews. I’ve been wanting to liven up my content for ages, but I’ve never been sure how to. Definitely going to be using this list very soon! Also, thanks for the links to the stock images sites. I use Canva, but it’s always good to have some backup sites if I can’t quite find what I’m looking for.
Great post 😍
