Stop Overthinking: Blog Prompts That Actually Convert
Share
Writer’s Block Isn’t the Problem. Direction Is.
You’re staring at a blank page. Again. You know you should be blogging, but what the hell are you supposed to write about? If your best ideas come in the shower and disappear before you towel off, you're not alone.
The problem isn't creativity—it's clarity. You need blog prompts that are rooted in strategy, not vague fluff like "share your journey" (what does that even mean?).
Why Blogging Still Works (When You Do It Right)
Before we get into prompts, let’s talk about why blogging is still one of the most powerful things you can do for your business:
- It builds trust and authority
- It drives organic traffic from search
- It helps you rank for keywords that don’t fit neatly on product pages
- It gives your audience something to actually share
But only if you write with purpose. Otherwise, you’re just adding noise to the internet
What Makes a Blog Prompt "Good"?
A good blog prompt should:
- Align with your SEO goals (hello, keywords!)
- Match your audience’s pain points and questions
- Be specific enough to spark a strong angle
"Write about self-care" is vague. "5 Candle Rituals to Calm Anxiety After a Stressful Day"? That has legs.
Real Prompts That Don’t Suck
Let’s get specific. Here are a few prompt types that consistently perform:
1. How-To Guides

Format Tips to Make Prompts Convert
Even the best idea can flop if the post is a wall of text. Make it skimmable:
- Use headings and bullets
- Add bold for emphasis
- Include internal links to your products or services
- End with a clear CTA (don’t leave readers hanging!)
