My 50 August Blog Post Ideas! (Monthly Blog Post Ideas #1)

August is here!

And that’s why today I’ll tell you some great August blog post ideas for your site. We’re almost at the end of the summer and you might have some difficulties finding ideas to write about. Well, I’m here to help!

Let’s start!

1. Your Vacation

Let’s start with the easy ones.

Did you go on vacation this summer? If yes, that’s great! Not only because you went on vacation, but also because you get to write about it.

Where did you go? How did you like it there? Would you recommend someone to go where you did?

2. Hotel/Hostel/Restaurant Reviews

Where did you stay while on a vacation? In a hotel? In a hostel? Where did you eat?

Review the quality of service and the price. Review the hospitability and the location. How easy was it to find the place? Would you recommend their services to us?

3. Your Vacation In Photos

It’s Photo Time!

You must have taken some photos of your vacation. Share them!

4. How To Protect Yourself From The Sun

Sun is great, but it can also be dangerous – especially in the summer and especially to people that don’t know how to protect themselves.

In your next post, give us some tips on how to stay safe from the sun.

Hint: #1 on the list should be sunscreen!

5. International Clown Week

Did you know that the first week in August is International Clown week?

Well, neither did I. Not until I made this post and I searched for it.

So write about it. It’s fun and interesting. If you can relate this to your niche somehow, so much the better. For example, I could write a post about “How does being a clown can make you a better blogger?”. Hmm… I have a few ideas now.

6. International Beer Day

First Friday in August is International Beer Day.

Celebrate it with a post and by buying a beer to a friend next time you’re out!

7. Why Is August The Best Month To Go On Vacation?

But maybe I’m running too far ahead. Maybe you haven’t gone on vacation yet, because you’ve planned to do it in August.

But why is that? Why do you believe that August is the best month to go on vacation?

8. Summer Sports

What summer sports would you like to try? Which of them have you already tried and how did you like them?

9. End of Season Cleaning

Stuff you don’t need – or even want – tend to stick around your house.

Last time I did this, I found clothing labels in a drawer. They were pretty beautiful – for clothing labels – BUT THEY WERE CLOTHING LABELS, for heaven’s sake. Why did I even keep them in the first place? What was I thinking? What would I do with them?

Anyway… Useless things stay in your house like this. So every 3 months clean up and decide what you don’t want to keep anymore. Get a few boxes and put everything you can sell there. Get rid of the rest of them.

Now either sell what you kept or give them away to a charity. In any case, you’ll have more space in your house and fewer things to clean.

10. Updating Your Autumn Wardrobe

Fall is coming, so now is the time to update your wardrobe. Now that you have space for a few more things after the clean-up, go shopping. What do you believe you’ll need for the next season?

Write your top 10 tips on how to do this. What clothes or accessories do you believe someone needs in autumn? How can they find the best prices?

11. Write A Letter To Your Future Self

Where do you think you’ll be a year from now? Write a letter to your future self telling them where you want them to be and what you want them to have succeeded.

Then a year from now, let your future self answer back.

12. What To Do When You’re Bored In August

Write about things you can do in August when you’re bored and you don’t feel like doing anything. Heat can cause that to you.

13. Celebrate International Lefthanders Day

Are you left-handed? Then August 13th is the day to celebrate! Write a post on hand, take a photo of it and upload it as it is. You can do the same if you’re right-handed, too, of course. No need to discriminate! 😀

Feel free to write the post on your laptop, too. Just in case someone doesn’t understand your handwriting.

14. Things You Can’t Live Without In August

What are the things you can’t live without in August?

1. Your laptop?
2. Your books?
3. Your camera?
4. Your friends?

Talk about them.

15. August Challenge

Create a challenge every month to motivate your readers to take action. It doesn’t have to be something too much; just something that will help them take action. If possible – and well, it’s definitely possible, make it relevant to your niche.

Don’t forget to set up a reward, though! It can be something you can give them or even having their name on a board on your home page for the next month.

16. How To Stay Cool

You don’t need fancy clothes for this kind of coolness. A pool can help, though.

Find simple ways we can use to stay cool during August and share them with us. For example, having your feet in a washbowl with cold water is really great.

17. Set Your Autumn Goals

August is here and we’re only a month away from the next season. Now is the time to set goals for the fall.

What do you mean? Don’t you set goals for every season? Then how do you expect to reach your goals if you don’t define them first?

So set your goals and then share them with your readers! 😀

18. How To Set Goals

If you haven’t set goals before, chances are your readers don’t do it either. Actually, even if you do it, chances are still that your readers don’t do it.

So after telling them your goals, explain to them how they can do it, too.

19. World Photography Day

August 19th is World Photography Day. Talk about it, share photos you took and motivate your readers to share photos to celebrate this day, too!

Everyone likes photos!

20. Movies You Look Forward To

What movies are you waiting for this month? Don’t forget to tell us the reasons and your predictions, of course!

21. Events & Festivals Going On This Month

August is a great month for festivities. Not a lot of rain going around to destroy events, so you can plan a lot of them outdoors.

Make a post with all the events you’re waiting for. Maybe your readers would like to go or watch them, too!

22. Your Autumn To-Read List

Do you have a book list ready to go? Share it!

If you don’t have one, Goodreads is a great place to find what books to read next.

23. Q&A Time!

Let your readers ask you any questions they have and make a post with your answers. It’s a great way to feel closer to them. Plus, you get to have all the answers in one place for future reference.

24. Reverse Q&A

You ask, we answer…

Ask a few questions to your readers and write their answers in a post. If their answers can be put in a chart – if it’s multiple-choice, instead of open-ended questions – then create charts to make the results more obvious.

25. Interview

Interview someone. Yes, it’d be great if they’re someone well-known, but if they aren’t, that’s okay. You can find a friend who likes the topic of your blog.

For example, I have a friend who’s a writer and I plan to interview her soon. 🙂

26. How Failing Can Help You Succeed

Talk about your failures and what lessons you’ve learned from them.

Failure is something we’ll all have to deal with sooner or later. If we learn to see failure as an opportunity for growth instead of an obstacle, then success will come really fast.

27. Make An Infographic

Create an infographic about your niche and share it with your readers.

Infographics are great for sharing information because they combine text with images. They are easier to remember, more fun to read and people share it more easily.

28. 1 Goal For 1 Month

Choose 1 goal; 1 thing you want to do this month. If you achieve it, you can consider this month a success. It needs to be big enough for this to be a challenge, but also it has to be attainable.

You can track your progress throughout the month and write about the experiment at the end of it. Did you do it? What lessons have you learned from it? Either from succeeding or failing?

29. Support The Opposite Side

Have you read Movie Plots Explained Badly? Inspired from this, you can take a topic you’re passionate about and write a post supporting the opposite side.

You have to choose a topic that the opposite side is so ridiculous that it’s funny to write about it. And you have to make it clear that it’s a parody.

For example, I’m thinking about writing how quality posts can hurt your blog. How’s that for a change?

30. News

Did something important happen this month in your industry? Write about the facts and your opinion on it.

31. Promote Your Own Work

If your work is relevant to your blog, talk about it. Or even better, show it to your readers.

Write about projects you’ve done so far, projects you start now, projects you want to start in the future and showcase your best work.

32. Write About People You Admire

There are always people that inspire us. That inspire us to do more, to do better, to never give up. They inspire us with their words, with their work, with their actions.

Talk about them, the reasons they inspire you and how they inspire you.

33. Beginner’s Guide

Create a step-by-step guide that a beginner should follow if they want to get involved in this industry.

Have in mind that you’re talking to beginners so don’t include anything too advanced.

34. August Riddle

Find or create a riddle and give little hints throughout the month. Give a reward to the first person who finds it out. It can be something as simple as having their name on a board on your homepage for the next month or you can give something to them.

35. Skills You Need To Succeed In This Industry

You can make it a post series and talk about each skill separately or create a pillar post and have all of them in one. Here are a few skills you need pretty much everywhere:

1. Patience
2. Persistence
3. Time Management

36. Courses To Learn These Skills

Do you know any good courses we can watch to learn these skills? Tell us about them. We’d love to check them out!

37. Gift Ideas

Think about gift ideas for a person that likes your blog. For people that have this as a business or as a hobby.

Then make a list of them. You may want to separate them by category or price. For example, when I made a post about gifts for writers, I separate them by category and I left at the end the most unique ones that didn’t fit in a category. When I wrote about gift ideas for bloggers, I put everything in one list because they were fewer.

Find your gifts and then decide how you prefer to do your list.

38. Online Communities/Forums That Can Help You Learn More & Support You

When you start something new, you need constant support. There are online communities that can offer that to beginners.

So find a few on your niche and recommend them to people. If you’re an active member to them, so much the better.

39. Sites To Follow For Inspiration & Guidance

What sites do you go to for inspiration and/or guidance?

Share them with your readers and ask them for their opinion. Maybe they’ll have to recommend some to you, too.

40. Tips To Advance Your Career

Do you have any good tips on how someone in your industry can advance their career? If so, what are you waiting for? Write about them!

Do you have any idea how many people will be grateful to you for this?

41. How To Turn Your Hobby Into A Business

Most people start something as a hobby, but they’d love to turn it into a business. How can they do it?

If you’ve started like this, you surely have some great ways they can use. After all, you made it, didn’t you?

42. Experts In Your Industry

You can make this a post series and talk about a different expert in each post. Here are a few things you can write about them:

1. How they started
2. What’s their biggest achievement so far
3. Why you admire them
4. What people can learn from them
5. How you can learn from them. Have they written a book or created a course?

43. Create Your Own Course

Make your own course about something you know. You can either make it on your blog or have it on an online platform like Udemy.

44. Your Playlist

What music are you listening to while working? Do you have a playlist?

Share it with your readers!

45. A Recent Trend You Really Love

Trends come and go. Some of them are good, some of them are bad. Some are horrible.

Choose a recent trend you love and talk about it. What do you like about it?

46. Your Secret To Success

What is the one thing you believe someone needs to succeed? Talk about it and why you believe it’s necessary.

How easy it’s to obtain it and how did you get it?

47. Your Morning Routine

How do you start your day?

What do you do every morning? What do you eat? Do you meditate or work out in the morning?

Share your morning routine with your readers. They may like to try it out.

48. A-Z List With Facts About August

A-Z lists are great for writing long posts. Plus, it’s funny to try and find words that start with the more difficult letters.

Find a fact about August for each of the letters. You’ll need to get creative at some of them. 😛

49. Top 10 Mistakes In Your Industry

What are the worst mistakes someone can do in your industry?

Write them down and then offer solutions and/or ways to avoid them.

50. Big Failures In Your Industry

What are the top failures you know that happened in your industry? Don’t be mean; describe them in a fun way.

Learning from other people’s mistakes is a good way to not make them ourselves.
