Tips for writing blog posts

Now that we’ve shared blog post ideas for lifestyle bloggers, here are some tips on writing better content.

Write catchy titles

You need catchy titles that will encourage readers to click to read more! Boring titles will do you no good.

Use curiosity-arousing claims to get a reader’s attention. (Note: Using numbers in titles is always helpful like “20 Ways To …” or “How I Tripled the Number of …”)

The more interesting your blog titles are, the more click throughs you will get. And that means more blog traffic and more money!

Don’t forget to incorporate your target keywords into the post title for search engine optimization.

Use VISUALs 

Make sure you are including great visuals and imagery in your lifestyle blog post. Use eye-catching images and interesting graphics in your post to grab attention.

KEEP IT conversational 

Blog readers want to be entertained and they don’t want to read copy that is like a textbook, or hard to understand.

So keep your style of writing and your tone light and casual, so it is easy read.

Keep your paragraphs really short as well. Sometimes just one sentence. This will help you keep your reader’s attention! Make sure you use transition phrases and words to keep them reading as well,

BE PERSONAL

Connecting personally with your readers is always a good idea. Include personal stories and information in your blog post. It will make them more interesting and keep readers coming back for more.

Even if you are writing a how-to-guide, you can include your personal experiences and thoughts into the content.

What is a lifestyle blog?

Before we can talk about lifestyle blog topics, let’s define what a lifestyle blog really is.

A lifestyle blog is simply highly personalized digital content that centers on the blogger’s own particular personal interests and everyday activities.

Lifestyle bloggers often share their opinions, preferences, top tips, expertise and ideas with their readers.

In the beginning, lifestyle blog posts were mostly about the blogger’s personal life.

But, the lifestyle blog has evolved to be more about general lifestyle topics such as health and fitness, fashion and even beauty. Lifestyle blog posts can be more generalized around education and not necessarily just talking about the writer’s own personal life.

Due to the dynamic nature of lifestyle blogs, it is easy to see why so many internet users are drawn to these topics for inspiration and direction to enhance their own life experiences.

As a lifestyle blogger, you will offer your readers a unique blend of content, topics and blog posts.

Many lifestyle bloggers start out with a single niche, say fashion or food, and then expand over time, to include other related lifestyle topics like beauty or health.

What differentiates a lifestyle blog from a personal one is what readers get from reading the content.

Whereas personal blogs connects with the reader through shared emotional experiences as the bloggers relates their personal life experiences, a lifestyle blog post offers readers a bit more in the way of useful advice.

Whether the blog post topics are travel tips, organizational ideas for a more orderly home, or cooking tips for healthier eating. Lifestyle blog post readers are often inspired by what they read, hear and see on their favorite lifestyle blogs.

Lifestyle Blog Examples

Gathering Dreams is one of my favorite examples of a lifestyle blog! I love the look and feel. They blog about everything from recipes, to money-making tips and travel.

Another great example of a lifestyle blogger is Chasing Foxes. You can read blog posts on their site about relationships, finance, blogging and more.

A Cup of Jo is another blog example you can check out. As you can see from these examples, lifestyle bloggers post about a variety of topics!

Okay, so now you have an understanding of what a lifestyle blog is and some examples of lifestyle blog topics, the next step is to decide on a blog niche and topic for yourself.

Why should I start a lifestyle blog?

Did you know that out of over 1.9 billion websites on the internet, more than 600 million are blogs?

Food, travel, health and wellness, parenting and DIY – all blog topics that fit under the lifestyle umbrella – are on the list of top profitable blog niches.

The wide target audience and the multiple ways to earn an income from a lifestyle blog are some of the reasons why starting a blog of your own is a great idea.

Research puts the percentage of internet users who read blogs on a regular basis at 77 percent. That is a lot of potential traffic for your lifestyle blog posts.

People are forever hungry for ideas on how to eat better, travel more, exercise, look more fashionable and have more fun. Which gives you a ton of blog post ideas to work with!

In essence they want advice on how to live more fulfilling lives. And your personal spin on one or more of these lifestyle blog topics can make all the difference. Plus, it can be a profitable blog niche.

How do lifestyle blogs make money?

Here comes the most important question of all – how can you make money from starting a blog?

A lifestyle blogger’s reach has the potential to be immense with such a wide market of readers.

And, and since blogs enjoy an extraordinary level of interconnectedness with their readers, they make the perfect platform for brand advertising.

There are many lifestyle bloggers out there who have turned their part-time hobby into a professional, money-making business.

There are a few ways that blogs can earn an income: sponsored posts, affiliate marketing and advertising. And, the blog post ideas you choose can affect all three of these avenues of revenue.

Sponsored lifestyle blog posts

In essence, sponsored blog posts are blog content that focuses on the products of a particular brand. And, the brand will pay you money for these blog posts!

As a lifestyle blogger you may pass onto your readers useful details about a product; its features and benefits as well as tips on how to use it. Product reviews are actually a favorite blog topic of readers.

It is a win-win situation all-round: bloggers get paid for their efforts, brands get exposure for their products and the audience is introduced to new products in the market.

There are different ways for a lifestyle blogger to find lifestyle content ideas for sponsored blog posts. One way is to use sponsored networks that will match brands to your particular blog niche.

Another method is to approach brands with products your readers will be interested in directly. You can offer them an opportunity to market their products to your readers on your blog through a paid blog post idea you present.

Lifestyle bloggers who have been in the game for a while and have well-established blogs will find that brands will reach out to them, offering to pay them to write up content about a specified product.

Affiliate marketing

Think of affiliate marketing as you would a referral or sales commission program.

You use your lifestyle blog posts to refer your readers to brands and their products. A link to the product is placed on your blog, and when your readers click on the link and make a purchase, you receive a commission from the sale.

Food blogs, for example, often contain links to branded kitchen equipment (food processors, kitchen scales, slow cookers, air fryers, etc.) or ingredients from a specific brand.

Whatever topic you choose for your lifestyle blog, you can find affiliate programs that are related to that topic. If the topic of your lifestyle blog is travel, you can become an affiliate for Expedia or a luggage company.

The methods to earn money from affiliate marketing are similar to sponsored blog posts. You can join affiliate marketing networks such as Share a Sale, FlexOffers or Impact where you can get connected with brands offering affiliate programs.

You can also sometimes get connected to a brand that offers their own individual affiliate program. If you have a favorite brand that you know you want to promote, just google their name with the phrase affiliate program to find them.

Advertising

Another way you can make money with lifestyle blogging is through advertising.

Whatever the topic of your lifestyle blog is, you can place relevant ads and make money whenever a reader clicks on them.

Ad networks like MediaVine and Ezoic, will set you up with ads throughout your lifestyle blog.

You will need to be an established blog with a good amount of traffic before you can sign up though. Media Vine requires you to show 50,000 sessions per month on your Google Analytics. Ezoic only requires 10,000 site visits per month.

You don’t want to place ads on your lifestyle blog anyways before you have a lot of traffic. Ads can slow your site down, and in the beginning you need a fast site to help build your SEO and traffic.

Quick basics on how to start a lifestyle blog

For a full step-by-step process to quickly start your blog in 2023, check out this guide. But, below are some quick beginning points on how to start your lifestyle blog.

Choosing a particular niche may be the most important decision you will make regarding your lifestyle blog, but the next step – choosing a domain name is as equally important.

Choosing a domain name

When you come up with a lifestyle topic idea, you also have to come up with a name.

The domain name you choose for your lifestyle blog is the name your readers will connect to and why much thought and consideration should go into crafting the perfect name. The domain name matters because it is the first thing your readers will associate with your blog.

The most important criteria for your domain name is that it is memorable. A unique name that is as easily remembered as it is to type or pronounce.

There are domain research tools you can make use of if you are really struggling to create your own.

Useful tips for choosing a domain name:

• Avoid overly long names.
• Make sure it is unique.
• Try to include a keyword associated with the topic of your blog.
• Using literary devices such as alliteration or rhyming adds to a domain name being memorable.
• Steer clear of including numbers as it could be regarded as a spam indicator by Google
• Make sure the url of the name you choose is available for you to use

You can check the url of your lifestyle blog name in this tool below and see if it is available:

Choosing a lifestyle blogging platform

It is particularly important if you are new to lifestyle blogging, to choose a blogging platform that is user friendly and flexible.

Your preferred blogging platform should ideally accommodate flexibility and allowance for growth. It should also allow you to customize it and add plugins for more functionality.

WordPress, Weebly, Medium, Blogger and Tumblr are some of the most common blogging platforms utilized by lifestyle bloggers.

My most important tip on choosing a platform, is to not go with one of the free ones out there like Blogger or Blogspot. It is a common and costly mistake made in amateur blogging.

You won’t technically own your blog, and you will not be able to have a clean, straightforward url.

Instead, you should absolutely opt to use a platform that leverages the wordress.org (not wordpress.com) structure. You can read this more in-depth review of blogging platforms to choose from to help you.

You can also just opt for an easy choice and set-up for beginners by starting your lifestyle blog with Blue Host.

Important must-haves when choosing a blogging platform include SEO (search engine optimization) capabilities, safety and security, customization capabilities, scalability and pricing.

Web hosting services

The primary aim of web hosting services is to ensure that a blog or website remains live on internet in order for internet users to access it.

Towards this aim, web hosting companies offer bloggers and website owners’ three important functionalities: domain platform, server and storage space.

Factoring in your needs is an important part of choosing the right fit in web hosting services.

It can be an overwhelming decision deciding on which web hosting company to commit to, but here are a few top ten must-have features your chosen web host company should offer:

1. 24/7 technical and customer support
2. Reliable remote backup service
3. Guaranteed uptime
4. Server management services
5. Sophisticated security features
6. Migration services (preferably free)
7. Easy-to-use backend interface
8. Affordable packages
9. Scalable resources
10. Additional services (backs up data regularly, updates server software, etc.)

Blue Host, which I mentioned above is actually a web host, but you can sign up with them and get the blog platform of WordPress and your web-hosting all-in-one.

Setting up Lifestyle Blog Categories

When you set up your blog, you also need to choose some lifestyle blog categories. These will be your primary topics, and how you will organize all your lifestyle posts.

The categories are what you see at the top of a website as separate tabs. So an example of lifestyle blog categories might be: Healthy Eating, Fitness, Recipes. These categories all fit in a theme , but the nice thing about a lifestyle blog, is you can have a variety of categories and topics.

Frequently asked questions

What Should I Write in a Lifestyle BLog?

The beauty of a lifestyle blog is that it includes a lot of possible topics and post ideas. Lifestyle blog topics include everything from health and fitness, to fashion to mom-life.

When trying to figure out what to write about in your lifestyle blog, consider what your favorite subjects are.

Choose something that you love or that you know a lot about. That way, you will have plenty of drive to write and plenty of expertise.

How do I choose the right Lifestyle Blog Topic?

The amount of possible topics, niches and blog articles out there is probably in the gazillions.

It can be overwhelming, narrowing down a niche and a topic for your lifestyle blog. There are so many lifestyle topics to choose from!

When choosing a topic to blog about, here are a few considerations to keep top-of-mind:

• What am I most passionate about?
• Which types of lifestyle topics are most popular?
• What topic do I feel I could write a ton of blog posts about?
• Which lifestyle niches provides a lot of options for making money with?

Think of all the lifestyle blogging ideas you can that might interest you.

The best way to decide on a topic for your lifestyle blog is to consider which one are you passionate about and appeals to you most. However, you should also make sure it is a blog topic that will also help you make money.

With each lifestyle topic you consider, do a little research to see what relevant affiliate marketing programs there are associated to that blog topic.

You don’t want a lifestyle blog topic that only has a few affiliate programs relevant to it, or only low-paying affiliate programs.

To help you along, here is a list of the most popular lifestyle blog topics.

Final takeaway

Starting a lifestyle blog can be a wonderful outlet for your creativity, and an exciting opportunity to make money.

It may take a bit of patience and some work but the endeavor can be incredibly rewarding and definitely worth the effort. Best of all, as a lifestyle blogger you get to inspire and make a difference in the lives of your readers.

As long as you post quality content and keep your readers engaged, you will enjoy the loyalty of your audience for a long time.
