How to Find Blog Post Ideas Using Post Topic Copilot Tool
Introduction
Hello, I'm Daniel, creator of this tool. Today, I want to share how I typically use this tool to discover great topics for my next blog post. Let's imagine that I'm writing about a trendy topic right now: investments. I'll show you how I approach this subject and how the tool helps me identify specific subtopics worth exploring.
Finding Trending Topics
First, I start with a broad, trendy topic like "investments." Using the tool, I generate various phrases related to this topic. The tool checks these phrases against Google Trends to see what is currently gaining traction.
For example, after running the tool, I got a list of different ideas. One of them was "investing for beginners." It looked like a solid topic, so I used the tool to dig deeper.
Analyzing Trends
While researching "investing for beginners" I checked how it has been trending over the last 30 days and the past 12 months. The trend had a slight dip in April, but overall, it still looked like a good topic to write about.
I also explored the regions that were most interested in this topic. Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States were leading the searches, which means this topic has broad appeal.
The tool also suggested related topics like:
- Long-term investment planning
- Retirement investment strategies
- Investing in index funds
When I checked "investing in index funds" I found that it has a steady worldwide trend, especially in the United States. Related queries included things like "best index funds" and "how to invest in index funds" which gave me plenty of ideas to develop further.
I looked at related queries like:
- "What's index fund investing?"
- "How to invest in index funds"
- "Best index funds"
These queries are highly relevant and have a lot of potential. However, I noticed the competition for these keywords is pretty high, which means it could be challenging to rank well in search engines.
Refining My Search
To find more specific angles, I decided to use the Additional Parameters feature to instruct the tool to give me only three-word phrases. I asked the tool to generate only three-word search terms, and it came up with new ideas like "index fund portfolio" and "index fund strategies."
For SEO purposes, I wanted to target longer-tail keywords, so I also generated four-word phrases, such as:
- Low-cost index funds
- Index fund long-term compound interest
These longer-tail keywords are often easier to rank for and help create more specific, targeted content.
Conclusion
After analyzing several different phrases, regions, and trends, I was able to come up with multiple blog post ideas that are highly relevant to the current interest in investments. Some of the key topics I decided to explore include:
- How to invest in index funds
- Difference between ETFs and index funds
- How mutual funds work
The tool makes it easy to analyze trends, refine search terms, and generate new ideas. I hope this guide helps you find great blog post ideas as well. Enjoy using the tool and happy writing!
Ciao!
