Blogging may not be Rocket Science, but it is does require a bit of Fortune Telling!
Step into my parlour whilst I explain…Won’t you?
Fortune-telling, by definition is the practice of predicting the future, usually of an individual, through mystical or supernatural means.
I said it was similar, not an exact!
You don’t have to rush out and have business cards made up declaring yourself a Madame or Swami.
When it comes to blogging, you have to have to possess the ability to ‘think outside the box’ and predict what your future visitors will be looking for based on the topic you’ve chosen to write about.
Just to have a little fun peering inside my own little blogging crystal ball, I called on four friends to throw a single topic back at me. Purely by pulling the first thing that came into their minds and sending it to me.
From those single topics, I am going to share with you, ideas of just how broad a single topic can become if you simply look into the future (and yesteryear – whichever the case may be) at all the possibilities.
The first topic that came in via my request was “The 80′s”
The 80′s lasted for ten whole years (Doh!) so surely there’s 10 years worth of content anyone can drudge up, right?
Honestly, this is a great topic because in one month alone, 80′s and various searches containing 80′s generated over 500,000 searches.
Quite a little niche huh?
Some topic directions I would consider are:
Movies – sub-feature the main actors and their bio’s
Actors – then and now
Music
Video
Fashion
Hairstyles (did you know there are whole websites dedicated to the mullet?)
Cartoons
Biggest Hair
Hot weddings and divorces (remember, the royal wedding of 81?)
Who was born? Who died?
Books (Girls, you remember Ralph? — wasn’t it Judy Blume?)
Politics (Jelly Bellies were made famous during the 80′s through politics)
Small towns making big news
80′s toys (I still have my Charlies Angels dolls)
Auto Industry – best and worst cars – which did you own? (Shov-ette – nuff said)
Travel
Feature items from the 80′s that are selling on eBay or Amazon
Role Play – take yourself back in a time machine and write a letter then to yourself today
One hit wonders – what became of them? (Soda Pop Rock) Oh and I wrecked my Chevette jammin’ to Carmacamilion! It’s so true!
Big Hair Bands – do they still have hair?
80′s tee shirts
Televisions shows and cast
Video games, then and now – I always did love Megamania
80′s Theme Parties – discussion, items and where to purchase
A look back at proms
Make-up trends – What were we thinking?
Time Machine Features
Laws and how they’ve changed – are we more safe today?
Did I forget anything? How many of you can think of other topics that fall into the category of “The 80′s” that might give a whole new direction of thought?
Remember, I’ve got a few more topics coming up, so check back and see how much fun we can have with those topics!
