If you find yourself struggling with “What should I write in my tech blog?”, don't worry. You're in the right place because I'll talk about the best it blogging topics.
One rising type of blog is the IT Blog or the Technology Blog or the Tech Blog – whatever you want to call it. The idea remains the same: the revolve around technology subjects such as programming, software, hardware, smartphones, accessories etc.
The biggest tech blogs aren't owned by bloggers, but by companies. Bloggers that are successful in tech are now vloggers because it's easier for them to create content for YouTube.
Performing well on YouTube involves some things that you have to do, and if you want to learn more about creating videos for YouTube, head over to our YouTube category.
Coming back to technology blogs, I would say that you, as a sole blogger, can attract a big audience, because people like to be informed. Let's say you're focusing only on tech products. The current buying process involves many more steps that it used to; and it all changed in the first part, where people are trying to gather as much information as they can, before deciding to see the product in a shop or to buy it directly.
Your opinion can be the decisive last-read that someone does before purchasing a product. So be present, give your honest opinions.
Of course, tech blogs are just about unboxing products and reviews. If you find yourself struggling in finding blog article ideas, then read on and find out some of the best IT blogging topics that you can write about.
But first of all, let's see how should a tech blog article look like. If you're here looking for information on how to start a blog, a tech one to be more exact, then you're welcome! If you're here because you're trying to find other ideas to write about in your tech blog, you're welcome as well.
As we live in a world that is constantly changing and developing when it comes to technology, writing blog articles based on trends will surely be a great idea.
Not to mention that you can write about the trends found in various domains like:
For this particular kind of topic you'd have to be constantly informed; read all the new articles; go on Google Trends to see what's…trending. Follow the big players in the field of technology blogs, and dig the news. Choose the best ideas and try to test them out before you write about them
I always said that it's best to write about things you know, to write based on your own experience. Of course, we are not born “know-it-all”s so you constantly have to be open to learning about new things.
Trends is a subject that means you'd have to learn about things because there might be things that are 100% new. You'd have to move quickly and learn about them, in order to be able to write some blog articles.
In case you have to write about something that is new to you, try to find as much information as you can; write your article including syntagmas like “in my opinion”, “I think that” etc. You can even state from the beginning that you're covering a subject that is fairly new to you. In this way, people won't say “Hey, you wrote that – why it's not happening?” or something similar. After all, we are all humans and we are entitled to personal opinions and mistakes as well.
In the situation when there's a new trend that you actually know about, try to find as much information as you can. Scan the Internet for opinions on why is this a trend now. Search through the history and see if that particular trend has had attention in the past or not. Think ahead and try to predict its future existence.
P.S. Two other way to keep up with trends is to follow big tech conferences (one big one is Web Summit) or to follow some TED tech talks.
AI, which stands for Artificial Intelligence (but I'm sure you knew that) can actually be placed under the Trends section. I chose to separate them because I think it gained some big popularity over the last 2 years, and you can easily find lots of sub-subjects to write about.
It can also be a sensitive subject, thus here I am, making a whole section only about it.
Out of this subject, you can come up with lots of new ideas. You can start with blog posts where you offer your opinion on this matter, Artificial Intelligence:
Ask yourself questions, read everything that involves AI, and try to understand the good an the bad. Present all that you've found out in an objective style (not referring to the articles where you're clearly stating that you're sharing your opinion). In this way, you'll attract both audiences: the pros, and the cons. And this is a thing that can be applied to whatever type of content you're delivering.
Write your blog articles in an objective way. You'll attract both the pros and the cons, hence you'll benefit from the whole audience.
