10 Creative Content Ideas For October
Your specific niche will help outline your creative content for October. But because we know all about writer's block, we wanted to help you brainstorm some October content ideas for your blog.
Fall seems to be everyone's favorite time of year. The leaves are changing, the summer heat is fading away, and who doesn't love Halloween (or at least candy)? It's a great time to restart your consistent blog posts because you have an unrelenting audience looking for all-related topics online. You can give fall fashion picks, coffee recipes, or maybe sprinkle in some personal anecdotes.
Even if you're in a profession like law or real estate, there are still plenty of exclusive content that you can put out for the Fall season. Give advice on safe trick-or-treating or talk about your favorite home DIYs.
The possibilities are endless! Here are 10 more October content ideas for your blog!
10. National Homemade Cookies Day
Share your favorite recipe! And it doesn't have to be pumpkin spice. Even in professional niches, opening up and being personable in your blog will help create a sense of trust and relatability. Cookie Day is on October 1st, but we're willing to bet that people are always looking for cookies recipes (especially if they're October-themed)!
9. Share Your Morning Routine
Your readers can see that you're #buildinganempire and we're willing to bet they're dying to know how you got there. Write a blog sharing how you maintain your hustle from day-to-day. But don't make it so obvious as you get up in the morning and brush your teeth. Dive deep and share how hard it is to not hit your snooze button. Tell them where you get your coffee and if you take cream or sugar.
Sharing your morning routine will inspire your readers to get up and follow suit. You're influencing them, after all, and they want to be just as successful as you. Just be sure to come up with a catchy title!
8. Spread Positivity
We know this sounds cliche and maybe over-the-top, but it's National Do Something Nice Day. Yes, there truly is a holiday for everything. But you can use this opportunity to give your own suggestions on how your audience can do something nice. Or better yet, you can be the one to do something nice for your readers.
Hosting giveaways will not only give you blog content to put out, but it works wonder for increasing your social media follower count.
7. Share Your Favorite Fall Cocktail
October 4th is National Vodka Day. Yeah, we've been missing out on this national holiday, too. Post on Instagram or write a blog about your favorite fall cocktail. It may seem like a typical October content idea for your blog, so get creative! Maybe you can share the worst October-inspired cocktails you've tried. Or come up with one of your own and let your readers know if it was a disaster or not.
6. Celebrate World Mental Health Day
In today's social climate, celebrating and acknowledging mental health will earn you big brownie points. Not only because you're secure enough to admit to your own issues, but because you recognize that the discussion needs to be had.
Don't worry, you don't have to get too personal. You can start by sharing an inspirational quote. It sounds cheesy, but you never know when simple kind words will help someone make it through the day.
5. Tell Your Audience About a Great Fall Deal
It's National Savings Day on October 12th. Why not give your readers your insight into some great October savings?
Even if you're not big on fashion or travel, professionals can use this time to share their personal money-saving tips. Do you know how someone can save for a down payment on their mortgage? Tell them how! It's a sure-fire way to get your client's trust.
4. #NationalBossDay
Honestly, what better topic is there to include in your blog? This one literally has no limitations. If you're reading this, it's because you are #hustling your business. Share your success with your audience by telling
3. Fall Cleaning
Is National Clean Your Virtual Desktop Day a real thing? Seems questionable, but we like the idea. Show your audience what you've done to clean your virtual desktop. Even just deleting photos off of your phone or organizing your blog documents will show that you've got your shit together.
Another great idea is to come up with your own desktop wallpaper to give to your audience! Make it a little bit spooky, or at least try to stick to Fall's orange and red aesthetic. It can be a display of how to decorate your home for Fall or just a flat-lay of your October-theme desk! It'll motivate them to clean their desktop, plus it helps them remember to check out your stuff.
2. Write Your Beginnings
October 20th is National Day on Writing, so why not pull together a blog about how you started your journey? What made you start your lifestyle blog, what made you become a realtor/lawyer/influencer? This blog should be easy. It should come from the heart, so just let it flow through your fingertips. Share the trials and tribulations you faced when you first started your entrepreneurial goals. Explain how you overcame them and how much you've grown since the beginning days.
