Post Ideas

New Year’s resolutions are the top searched items in January! Everyone is looking to kick off their year with fresh motivation. Among those resolutions are searches for weight loss and fitness, travel goals, organization, how to de-stress, and many more. Not surprisingly, health resolutions account for the majority of searched terms. Many people are looking for ways to cook at home, eat more vegetables, find home fitness plans, and ways to easily incorporate healthy habits into their everyday lifestyle. Use these themes as a starting point for your own blog posts about healthy recipes, home workouts, or how to stay healthy on the go. Don’t forget to include the key phrase “how to” when beginning your resolution posts. It will capture a large audience looking for a resolution instructional.

Additionally, include some unique resolutions to inspire your readers with new motivation. Some fun ways to plan for the new year could include “home remodeling”, “redecorating”, “weekend travel” or even simple ideas such as “reading more”, “clean out your closet” and “spend more time without technology.”  Use these blog post titles and Merchants to inspire your writing:
