100 Ideas for an Instagram Blog: Your Inspiration

Life stories


Everything is as easy as possible. Find a photo from school archive and tell the story about your good old days. It will be curious to see you at school age and read your personal stories. Don't forget that Instagram is definitely the most personal social network. Sometimes you across such confessions, well, you know.


1. A funny story;

4. The last time when you cried with happiness;
5. A victory story;

Hot-shots


Surely, the events that occur around trigger some reaction. But posts about each of them can bore your followers. So, speak on the most urgent and exciting topics to write about from time to time. In addition, you're an opinion leader. You influence your followers' minds so maybe you can help resolve some local problems.

As a rule, such Instagram posts provoke lively discussions that involve your followers in the topic through expressing their own opinions.

Here's what you could write based on the latest global and local events.


11. Your attitude to Brexit;
12. In Botswana, a man hijacked a plane and rammed his own house;
13. Why are West Africa's fish disappearing?
14. A 28-year-old inventor unveils contact lenses that correct color blindness;
15. Or new shoes of Mariah Carey;

There always will be something to discuss, but what is most significantly — do not go too far with the negativity, people are so tired with it.

Discovery of the month


Feel free to talk about your new experience, positive or not.

16. A good book;
17. A nice sitcom;
18. An excellent restaurant service;
19. A great nail specialist;
20. A media-finding;
21. The best app of the month/week/etc;

Personal expertise


Teach your followers something (e.g. a new recipe, how to process photos, etc.) If your account presents some practical value, people will follow you. You never know, maybe some of your followers do not know how to tie a beautiful bow of satin ribbon.

26. Posts of goodies recipes;
27. How to buy something for less?
28. How did you make your hair thick and long?
29. What helps you learn new foreign words?
30. Lifehack how design a room cheap and stylish;
31. How to travel on a budget?

And so on, your knowledge can be useful to someone, do not underestimate it. If useful posts on any topic receive a positive response from your audience, then you can adjust your profile to this very topic.

Aspirations


I am very curious about the progress of my friends' challenges: somebody sets a goal to improve his/her foreign language skills, and somebody wants to do 150 push-ups at a set. There is a double benefit: you make yourself better and make your profile more active.

32. Challenge: I’ll lose 10 kilos in one month;
33. Challenge: I'll learn how to crochet in a week;
34. Challenge: I'll learn 500 new Spanish words in 20 days;
35. Challenge: One month without sweets;
36. Challenge: I’ll read 7 new books;

Asking advice


All people love giving advice and sharing experience, so if you periodically publish posts with questions, it will not only raise your audience activity but help your followers feel important and useful. Do not overdo, ask only about what you really want to know. The worst thing is when the phrase "I don't care what you will write there, I just want more comments" is obvious from your posts.

37. Where to buy winter clothes to look elegant?
38. Don’t know what to watch/read/cook/etc, give your piece of advice;
39. I’m going to buy a new car, which one to choose?
40. Where to go on holiday?
41. What to buy for a boyfriend’s or girlfriend’s birthday?

“I foresee”


For a change, post your opinion about the outcome of any event, which is not obvious, for instance, a football match. This will encourage your followers to a discussion.

42. I think 2022 is the last year for 'America's next top model';
43. I'm sure Elon Musk will be able to make Tesla a profitable company in 2022;
44. I think 200 million people won't have watched SKIBIDI until the end of March;
45. Summer will be very hot;
