Thinking about ideas to write about is one of the most challenging aspect of starting a blog post.

I can’t begin to count how many times I would stare at a blank screen when I first started blogging.

I knew that content marketing was essential for the growth of my online art business, but I had no idea what to write about for my blog posts.

One day I became so frustrated, I sat down and wrote a list of different topics that would relate to my art business and goals.

Today I never sit in front of a blank screen. I know exactly what I want to blog about, and I get the job done to go to the studio.

Here is a list that I have gathered throughout the years, which will keep you busy for some time.

What To Do With Your Blog List

Art marketing is about getting people to see your artwork.

There are so many artists online trying to do exactly what you are trying to do, which is to sell art.

Art collectors are searching online every day for art like yours.

So what do you have to do to get them to notice your artist website?

You must create a content marketing plan that will help you to rank high in Google’s search for the keywords your target audience is searching.

So how do you start?

The first thing you will need to do is write down your art business objectives.

  • What do you want to achieve with your blog posts?
  • Do you want more traffic to your website?
  • Do you want to sell fine art?
  • Do you want to sell giclee prints?
  • Do you want to sell art teaching courses?
  • Do you want to sell wearable art?

Sit down and write down what you want to achieve in six months, one year, and five years from now.

How To Write A Blog Post That People Will Want To Read

The first step is to pick a topic you want to write about.

On a piece of paper, write down the objectives of the post.

  • Why are you writing the post?
  • What do you want the reader to get out of the post?
  • What do you want the reader to do after reading the post?

The next step is to break down the post idea into subjects.

The subjects are like chapters of a book.

For example:

How To Clean Paint Brushes – Title of the post

Subjects:

  • Intro
  • Why Is It Important To Clean Your Brushes
  • Best Paint Brushes for acrylics
  • Best solvents to clean acrylic paint brushes
  • How To Clean The Brushes With The Solvents
  • How To Store The brushes
  • Conclusion

The above is an example of how I would start a blog post.

The next step is to add valuable content that supports the subjects.

After you have finished the writing, check it for grammar and spelling errors with Grammarly.

The last step is to read the post and see if there is anything that you missed or if there is anything that you would like to add to the post to make it more valuable to the reader.

So how do you master the art of blogging?

The answer is simple. Just start blogging.

The more you blog, the better you will become at writing content that attracts your target audience.

Just like your artistic skills enhanced over the years, your writing skills will also improve.

How Do You Master The Art Of Blogging

Many artists ask me, is blogging a good idea?

Blogs are the fuel that drives a tremendous amount of free organic traffic to websites.

Developing a content marketing plan is essential for any artist trying to sell their artwork online.

Since blogging isn’t that easy, and the search engines are policing your efforts, should a small business maintain a blog?  Yes. Your website is more likely to appear higher in the search engine result pages if you have a blog than if you don’t. And those results are important now that more and more people are turning to the Internet to get information and make purchases. (Source: Mike Kappel, Entrepreneur.com)

What Is The Best Blogging Platform For Startups

WordPress is the best blogging platform for online art businesses.

WordPress is not just a blogging platform, but it can also be an e-commerce platform with the free WordPress plugin WooCommerce.

About 60% of CMS sites are built on WordPress. Over 400 million people visit WordPress sites each month. (Source: Hostingtribunal)

You can feel confident using WordPress for your online art business with those numbers.

Go to BlueHost to get your artist website up in only a few minutes.

How Discover Keyword For Art Topics

The primary objective of any content marketing plan is to get people to read the content and have them visit your website.

You want people to read your posts, enjoy what you write about, and share your work with their friends and family.

But how do you get people to discover your artist blog so they can read your content?

The answer is to optimize your blog posts with keywords your target audience is searching for in Google’s search.

There are two ways to choose what the best keywords are for your art blog.

The first way is to guess what your potential buyers are searching for online.

From experience, I must tell you that this strategy does not work.

I spent a year guessing what keywords I should be trying to rank for, and I wasted a lot of time writing articles that nobody read.

After a year of seeing my traffic trickle in, I became frustrated and researched what I was doing wrong.

I took an SEO course, and one of the things that I learned was not to write posts that people are not searching for online.

This makes sense. If nobody is searching for the topic you are writing about, your post will never be read.

Conclusion

As you can see, there is a lot you can write about that will inspire, motivate, and educate art collectors and artists. I could have gone on for days writing topics for you, but I think this will give you a good starting point.

As you go down the list, you will find that you will think of other ideas you would like to write about. I recommend writing down any ideas that pop up in your mind. I have lost many great ideas because I didn’t want to spend the time writing them down. Now I will stop what I am doing to jot down a few notes.

Before you write, go through the list and see what topic creates a spark. Start writing about that subject. You will find it easier to write about something you are motivated to write about.
