Thanks, this is one of the best list of summer blog ideas. Super Helpful
You’re most welcome! Glad to help inspire with fresh ideas.
Hey Margaret!
I needed to know how to write an ebook and what do we write inside an ebook?
Secondly, how to make digital products
Thanks
Hi Arreba – You would write the draft of the ebook like any other book. The length depends on you. There are many articles out there that speak to how you can sell your book (e.g. Amazon). The other way would be to self-publish and sell it as a PDF file for download on your own site. This is essentially a digital product. There are many other types of digital products you can create: templates, digital art, fonts, stock photo and video etc. There are many places you can sell it aside from your own site.
Hi there! I’m impressed by how many different topics I can write about for my blog! One I will definitely elaborate on is ” A summer skincare routine that keeps your face looking fresh” Thank you so much!
Glad to be of help!
I am going to open this up next to my editorial calendar and plan away! Thanks so much!!
This is a helpful list, especially when you have writer’s block.
Which can hit at any time! I got stuck myself this week… bloggers block can really stifle my creativity.
These are wonderful blogging tips for the summer. I especially love number 15. Supporting your local farmers (and businesses) is so important right now. Although we did it before, we are showing them extra support during this time. Thanks for sharing this extensive list of blogging ideas. I will for sure use some of these as my inspiration.
I’m glad to hear I can share some inspiration. Some good posts on how we can help small businesses that are trying their hardest to make it with innovative solutions is key!
Thank you for this amazing resource! I can’t imagine how long it took to think of all these ideas! 🙂
Surprisingly, it didn’t take long to come up with them, but I imagine, I’d have a harder time actually writing the blog posts!
This is such a great list of ideas!
Thank you! 🙂
I don’t really have any summer type of posts planned, but these are great ideas! I am going to to a multipart series in July, so that should keep me busy.
That’s great too! Can’t wait to see them.
Thank you so much! This is an awesome list!
You’re welcome!
