How to Use Pinterest Trends to Write Your Next Blog Post

Having a hard time figuring out what to blog about on your blog?

Finding topic ideas for your blog can be hard. It is for me!

I have a lot of ideas but when I look at my blog, I already wrote about it!

So, I have to dig deeper and come up with different ideas or spin an idea I already wrote about.

But, there is actually an easier way to finding topic ideas AND they’re popular ideas too.

One of the best sources of traffic for bloggers is Pinterest and if you can write blog posts that attract pinners, you can get a flood of blog traffic.

These are Pinterest trends and writing about these trends can help you bring new eyes to your content and help you create an editorial calendar for the rest of the year!

Pinterest Trends

There are many topics that trend on Pinterest and come from all types of blog niches.

There are two ways to discover popular trends on Pinterest.

Pinterest keeps tracks of what ends up trending and makes predictions on what will trend for the new year. The first is their Pinterest trends for the year to help content creators know what types of content will be seen the most on Pinterest.

The second is using Pinterest Trends to discover the popularity of topics over time.

Simply type in a keyword and see the stats as well as the search results on Pinterest.

When looking at either this list of over 100 trending topics for your blog or using Pinterest Trends, it can be overwhelming.

So I thought I would do the research for you and pick and choose the best trends in various niches and come up with many blog topic ideas under that trend idea.

Yes, that sounds confusing, but doing this will make it a cinch for you to come up with your next blog post idea.

Considerations when Using Pinterest Trends Ideas

Not every topic idea you use from Pinterest trends will take off, but it’s a new topic idea and it’s an idea you can monetize with affiliate marketing, display ads or with your own products.

As well, I wouldn’t make your entire blog plan built around trends. Trends are just that – they come and go and you won’t build a robust blog with spikes of traffic and low traffic months.

You want to build a blog with a consistent stream of traffic and that means not relying on one source of traffic – Pinterest.

Finally, because this Pinterest trends report is available to everyone, these ideas aren’t new or unique anymore. So, it’s up to you to “spin” these topic ideas into something different.

Kids and Parenting

Many of these Pinterest trends for kids and parenting are product based or have the ability to be monetized with Amazon affiliate marketing.

So, when thinking about your blog plan, you would want to have these blog posts available for gift guide season – end of year holidays.

October is a great month to start creating Pinterest trend topics and you can create gift guides for many of them:

  • Pinterest trend: rustic nursery ideas – I also wrote about this Pinterest trend, but it did not take off. My suggestion is if this fits in your niche – home decor, home renovations, design – then this topic idea would do well on Pinterest. I would also think about using your own photos to show a before or after as those types of pins do extremely well on Pinterest.
