Ever get tired of blogging? If so, you may be experiencing blogger burnout. Blogger burnout happens when you overwork yourself and lose the motivation to blog as a result.
It’s not a fun thing to experience, especially if you like to publish blog posts on a consistent basis.
If you’re getting tired of blogging, it would be beneficial to take a break from writing in-depth blog posts for a while. Roundup posts, personal experience posts or listicles are among some of the easier blog posts you can consider writing.
These types of blog posts can typically be finished within an hour or two depending on how focused you are and how much research you need to do.
But will you be compromising quality if you decide to write something quick and simple? The answer is NO! These aren’t “filler” posts. These are blog posts that readers can still benefit from and enjoy despite them being easier for you to write.
Here are 5 blog posts you can easily write when you’re tired of blogging.
1. Create a roundup post
Roundup posts are when you gather content on a particular subject and share them in your own blog post.
For example, you can create a blog post titled “Must-Try Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipes”, in which you’d share links to great chocolate chip cookie recipes that other websites have posted.
Here’s an example of a roundup post on the best food blogs to follow.
Other than a good introduction and a blurb about each piece of content your sharing, the bulk of a roundup post is centered around other people’s content. This is what makes it an easier post to write!
2. Photo-heavy blog post
People love visuals, so a photo-heavy blog post is a great option for when you don’t feel like writing.
As the name states, a photo-heavy blog post is one that consists mainly of photos.
You can show details of a certain product through photos, create a visual tour guide for a city or even just share some photos you think your readers would enjoy.
Depending on what the content of your post is, you can add in a few notes along with the photos. No need to worry about the word-count though! The photos are the main aspect of this type of blog post.
3. Talk about a personal experience
A blog post about a personal experience typically won’t require much research, if any. You already have all of the knowledge and information you need.
Simply write about an experience you’ve had that you think your readers could benefit from. Keep it related to your niche.
Try to include something your readers can learn from, whether that be a mistake they should avoid or some tips that could help them. This will ensure that your blog post serves a purpose for your readers, despite being quite easy for you to write!
4. Create a listicle
Who doesn’t love a good listicle? Not only are they convenient and helpful for the readers, but they can be pretty easy to make as well.
A listicle is a blog post that is written in a numbered format. For example, “20 Budget Bridal Shower Gift Ideas”. In this blog post, you would list 20 gift ideas and add a note about each one.
Listicles can be about anything from tips to quotes to products and more. If you decide to make a product listicle, try adding in affiliate links to each product. That way, you’ll get paid a commission if someone purchases a product you list!
5. “Why I Love _____”
What’s something that you love and think your readers would also love? Write a blog post sharing all the reasons you love this particular thing.
Anything that comes from the heart is going to be easy to write. Plus, you can monetize your post by adding in affiliate links if the thing you’re writing about is purchasable.
Pick something that fits into your blog’s niche. Your readers most likely go to your blog to find helpful information, so they’ll appreciate knowing what you love and recommend within your niche.
Final thoughts
Don’t be too hard on yourself if you’re feeling overwhelmed by blogging. It’s a lot of work! Thank yourself for working so much and take a well-deserved break.
