My 50 October Blog Post Ideas! (Monthly Blog Post Ideas #3)

Is it October already?

Well, no. Not yet. But it’ll soon be, right? So let’s get ahead of schedule and talk about some October blog post ideas. The most famous celebration in October is Halloween, so get ready for a lot of Halloween-themed posts!

Let’s start!

1. Indoor Fall Activities

Winter is slowly coming. It’s getting colder. The days get shorter. That’s the time when we start staying more at home.

Do you have any good ideas about activities to do while at home? Activities you can do alone or with friends. Of course, it’s always better with friends, isn’t it?

2. Your Working Routine

What is your working routine? When do you work? Where do you work?

People get inspired when they hear others having a routine and a lot of times they want to follow it. So share your routine with the world! Your readers may want to follow it, too.

3. World Smile Day

October’s first Friday is celebrated as World Smile Day. Celebrate it by telling people why smiling is important in life. What are the benefits of it?

4. How To Skyrocket Your Career This Fall

There are a lot of ways you can use to boost your career. Seminars, conferences, etc. Have you heard anything good lately?

They may be about your industry or about self-improvement. For example, if you find a seminar on soft skills, it may not be about your career per se, but it’ll improve you, and this will help your career.

A lot of people would be grateful to you if you help them discover these resources.

5. Courses You Can Start

And what about courses? Do you know any good ones?

If you haven’t heard of anything good, take a look at Udemy or Skillshare. There are a lot of great courses there.

For example, if we’re talking about affiliate marketing, I’d definitely recommend Wealthy Affiliate. If we’re talking about soft skills, I’d recommend Charisma University.

6. Skills You Should Start To Learn

There are a few skills that are important to everyone no matter what’s their career. For example:

Time Management
Communication Skills
Presentation Skills

Make a list with the ones you believe they’re the most important in your field and tell us why you believe they’re important. Do you have these skills? Are you trying to acquire them? How’s your progress so far? And what have you learned from trying?

7. Movies About Your Industry

Have you watched any good movies about your industry? If yes, talk about them. And if not, find a few movies, watch them and then talk about them.

Movies about a specific industry are usually fun to watch for people in that field. Not only because it’s like there’s a secret code, but also because they usually find mistakes and/or stereotypes to laugh at.

8. Review The Books You’ve Read So Far In Autumn

How many books have you read so far in fall?

I hope you’ll say that you read at least two. Well… review them! If they’re any good, we’d love to read them, too!

And if you’re not into reading books, check this. You may change your mindset about reading.

9. How To Find Your Dream College

Finding a college you love isn’t that hard, but it’s not that easy either.

Do a little research and find the tips someone needs to know to find the perfect college for them. Then share them with your readers!

10. DIY Crafts

Everyone loves crafts. Some are better than this than others, though, so start with something simple. Something that doesn’t need any special tools to do it.

11. Best Halloween Costumes

Let’s start now with the Halloween ideas.

First of all… Halloween costumes. What are the best costumes you can find around? Take into account the price and how original they are.

Also, you may want to write about how they can make their own costume. Find a popular character and try to make the costume yourself. If you can create a video, too, so much the better.

Or if you don’t feel up to the challenge, maybe someone else created this costume before you. Try to find a video that describes how to DIY this costume and do it yourself showing to your readers how easy – or not – it really is.

12. Tasty Halloween Treats

Halloween treats just had to be here. Write about your favourite treats, how much you like them and why. Do you have any good recipes for them?

And what about recipes you want to try out but you haven’t yet?

I’m still looking forward to baking a brain cake. Or at least eat one!

13. A-Z List With Facts About Halloween

A-Z lists are back and this time you can write about Halloween. What weird facts do you know about Halloween?

Don’t forget that each one should start with a different letter. I’m so curious about what you’ll have for X…

14. Trick or Treat

Do you like trick or treat? Then write how it started as a tradition.

Do you have funny Trick or Treat stories from when you were a kid? Write about these. Everyone likes stories and the scariest they are, the better!

15. Halloween Make Up Ideas

Write about the best Halloween makeup ideas you can find. If you can try them yourself, that’s even better. You can take photos and share them.

Or if you’re up to it, ask a friend to let you do their make up and make a video of the process.

16. How To Host A Halloween Party

Have you ever hosted a Halloween party?

If yes, share your tips on how to plan an awesome Halloween party. And if you haven’t, maybe now it’s the time to plan one.

Write about your experience. How was your party? Was it a success? Did anything funny happen? How was the planning experience? Walk us through it.

17. Ghost Stories On Halloween

Do you like ghost stories?

I don’t. I hate them. But a lot of people really love them. If you’re one of them, please tell me why!

Anyway… If you like them, write a few of them. Or you can ask your readers to send you stories and you can publish them. They’ll love it!

18. Halloween DIY Crafts

And again with DIY crafts. This time, you get to write about Halloween DIY projects.

For a Halloween party, having scary decorations is a must.

19. Halloween Costume Contest

Run a Halloween Costume contest on your blog. Give it a month so that people have the time to get or make their costumes.

Halloween is here, so there are probably a few movies that get released this month.

If you have enough followers, you can ask them to send you their own tweets and you can include these in your post.

25. Start A Book

Writing a book is difficult, I know. But if you want to write a book – or even more than one – then the best time to start is now.

You can go slowly and write one chapter every month. One by one, the chapters will be many and before you know it, you’ll have a book in your hands.

26. Where You Blog When It’s Cold?

When do you like working when it’s cold outside? Do you work somewhere else than your usual workplace?

If yes, show us around!

Winter holidays are only a couple of months away and now it’s time to start saving. Do you have any good ideas about how to do it?

29. An Autumn Trip In Photos

Take a trip and make a post for it. Use the photos to showcase every moment you spent.

It’d be great if you could make the same trip every season and take photos of the same places. The difference will be beautiful.

30. Things To Do Before Winter Comes

Go to a book store and check out new releases – and not so new releases, too. Make a list with what you want to read next and share it with your readers.

They may want to read them, too. Talk about why you chose them and what made you want to read these.

* If you can’t afford them all, send the list to your friends. If they plan to get you something, they can choose from this list!

If you have a charity you support, write a post explaining why you support them and how they help the world. This post may give a boost to donations for this charity!

34. Talk About A Passion

Do you have something you feel passionate about? Talk about it!

Could be a hobby you already started or something you haven’t started yet, but you’d love to try.

35. Creativity Tips

Sometimes we feel a little stuck. We can’t think of anything creative to do or write about. That’s normal. But there are always little things we can do or read that can get us unstuck. Do you know any of these?

Quotes?
Blogs?
Tips?
Books?
Videos?

36. Quotes

I love quotes and that’s why I’ve already done a post with quotes for bloggers. Why don’t you do one, too?

Could be about your niche or inspirational quotes in general.

37. 101 Posts

Go back to the basics and write definition posts. For example, if you blog about art, then you can write about what art is.

Or you can go more personal and talk about what art means to you.

38. How You Started

Tell your own story. How did you get involved in this niche?

Is it something you always wanted or something you discovered lately? Did someone introduce you to this? What tips do you have for beginners? What mistakes have you made that you wouldn’t do again if you could turn time back?

39. How Did You Start Blogging?

Also, you can talk about how you decided to start blogging.

What were your biggest obstacles? How did you deal with them?

40. News

Write about what happened the last month in your industry. You may want to check out Google News for this one.

You can make this a post series and write about the news every month if you’d like.

41. Apps You Recommend

What apps do you like enough to recommend to others? Make a list with them.

For example, some of the apps I use are:

Trello: A planning app
Habit Tracking App: I’m trying to start some new habits and tracking them really helps.
Headspace: A meditation app

42. Instagram Contest

Instagram is very popular these days.

Why not run your own Instagram contest? Find a topic you like and give your readers a few days or weeks to upload their photos.

Make sure you give them a hashtag to use so you can see all of their photos.

43. How To Stay Positive

Negativity tends to seep into our everyday life. Do you know any ways we can use to battle it?

You can write about little tips you have or activities that make you feel more positive. You can also write about your mindset and how someone can change their mindset if they want to add positivity in their life.

Before I started on this niche? Before I started blogging?

Share with your readers what you believe it’s important to know before starting something based on your experience.

46. How Halloween Affects Your Niche

Halloween tends to overshadow everything.

Write about how Halloween affects your industry. What changes these days in your niche?

47. Enter A Contest/Challenge

Find a challenge or a contest about your niche and participate. Encourage your readers to do the same.

48. How To + Alphabet

How-to posts are just great. Everyone has Googled at least once in their life how to do something.

Go about it the fun way and write 26 how-to posts following this simple rule. The word after “how to” has to begin with a different letter. Go alphabetically. For example, if you blog about watches, here are some ideas:

How to accessorise watches
How to buy a watch – What you should be aware of
How to compare watches
How to design watches

If you have a problem with finding ideas, try Google autocomplete. For example, to find these ideas, I went to Google and I wrote: “how to watches”. Then I pressed space after the word “to”. You can get a few ideas while typing different letters there.

49. Top 10 Recommended Products In Your Industry

Another useful type of posts is lists. Find the top 10 must things in your industry and recommend them.

Take into account:

1. Price
2. Quality
3. Do beginners really need this?

They don’t have to be tangible; they can be digital, too. Just do your research and recommend only the best of the best. If the price is too high for the best of them, go with tiers.

“If someone can spend up to $50 for something, then they should get this product. If they can spend up to $200, they should take that…”

50. How To Promote Yourself

Talk about how professionals can promote themselves in this industry. You can recommend:

What social media to use
How to share their expertise to get well-known
How to start a blog and promote themselves there
How to promote their business offline
What business cards to use
How to network with people
