How to Brainstorm 50 Blog Topics in 30 Minutes

1. Mind-Mapping Magic

Visual brainstorming works wonders for generating creative ideas.

Step-by-Step: 

  • Write “Cat Care” (or your main niche) in the center of a page. Branch out into subcategories like health, behavior, and lifestyle.

  • Under "Behavior," jot down: “Why Cats Hide,” “Understanding Cat Body Language,” or “10 Fun Games to Play With Your Cat.”

  • For "Health," expand into: “How to Spot a Sick Cat” or “Best Diets for Senior Cats.”

Try This: Use free mind-mapping tools like Miro or even pen and paper for clarity and creativity.

2. Use Keyword Gold

Leverage search engines to uncover what your audience is asking.

Step-by-Step: 

Type “Why does my cat” into Google or Answer the Public, and explore questions like:

  • “Why does my cat lick me so much?”

  • “How to stop cats from scratching furniture.”

Try This: Create posts like “5 Reasons Cats Lick Their Owners (And When to Be Concerned)” or “The Ultimate Guide to Cat-Proofing Your Furniture.”

3. Tap Into Your Audience

Your readers (and social media followers) are your biggest inspiration.

Step-by-Step: 

  • Poll your audience on Instagram or post in Facebook cat groups asking: “What’s your biggest struggle as a cat parent?”

  • Use responses like “Keeping cats off counters” to write posts such as “7 Proven Hacks to Keep Cats Off Kitchen Counters.”

Try This: Use Instagram Stories’ Q&A feature for easy feedback, or sift through comments on your previous posts for recurring themes.

4. Expand Popular Posts

Turn one great idea into a series or spin-off posts.

Step-by-Step: 

If you wrote “10 Essential Supplies for New Cat Owners,” expand on each item:

  • “Choosing the Right Cat Bed”

  • “The Best Cat Litter Options Ranked.”

Try This: Check your blog analytics for your top-performing posts, then brainstorm 3–5 spinoffs for each.

5. Seasonal and Trending Topics

Make your content timely for higher engagement.

Step-by-Step: 

  • For fall, create “How to Keep Your Cat Warm This Winter: Heated Beds and Cozy Corners.” During Halloween, try “Safe Treats for Cats: A Spooky Guide.”

Try This: Use Google Trends to find seasonal interest spikes, or tie your posts to quirky “holidays” like National Cat Day.
