Coming up with topics is difficult when you are trying to create a post worthy of an audience. Does it add value or am I just blowing smoke in your face? No matter what we try, every day, someone hits a brick wall and experiences writers block.
Most times, the topic itself is right in front of us or sometimes we just need a bit of inspiration to get us started. Sound familiar? Some ideas could come from a billboard, movie quote or TV show that gives you loads of ideas for your next post, but how does it relate to your niche? That idea might not be for everyone, but no matter what, the best content is always a post that solves a common problem.
Today, I compiled a long list of some great titles to give you that kick to your next post:

Hi Sonia,
. I think I can also do something with such titles and I need to examine them to get something useful for my blog. I have problem writing the title not the content
.
No one can complain about not having an idea isn’t it ? You gave them the template to start working. At least they will not be having problem till next year
Thanks for this unique perspective on writing

Thank you Sonia!!!
The title of my posts are the most difficult task for me. I like the “(number) ways of …” I find those work well because it is like the cover of most magazines you flip through waiting on line in the supermarket. I’ve learned somewhere to pay attention to that. Putting numbers like 10 best ways to …. because it works well in the magazine industry, so I’m mindful of that.
I also like those question titles. My most successful post was titled with Why I…. It was written last year, and I still get a flow of people coming into that post.
I’m liking the “How To’s” and need to bear that one in mind also. Thanks for all these tips, I’m putting this post on my Evernote so I can return and use it as a reference guide.
You Rock!

This is a great post Sonia! How did you come up with such a comprehensive list!?!? The title you used for this one is awesome too! Had to elbow my way past a hundred other bloggers to get up close enough to read
Thanks for this – bookmarking it!

Hey Sonia,
Some years ago I went in search of some posts that would help me with titles and I found quite a few that I have bookmarked and I go back to when I run into some problems. Some of these I recognize from those shares but it never hurts to have more for future reference.
Great share here girl and the headline is usually the hardest one of all. You’ve just given everyone an easy way to get those juices flowing again.
Thanks!

P.S. FYI, you don’t have your Twitter ID set up in any of your social sharing buttons so you might want to put that in there really quick.

This is awesome Sonia however, I totally should have read it with a “clear” mind and not a “dirty” one. Oh the topics I came up with!
Way to help out us bloggers! Gonna have to favorite this page! Thanks Sonia

LMAO! Hi Brenda, that is so funny. I know you can use some of those for your new site. That would be great.

Hi, came over from Bren’s tweet. This was very useful! I’ve bookmarked for the brain storming portion of my titles. Do you mind my asking why you choose this commenting system and if it’s accomplished your goals with your blog? New blogger here.

Hi Sonia,
This is a very interesting and very useful post for anyone having a bit of trouble with titles.
Whether we like it or not titles are important and really pull people to our blog or NOT. Yes, they’re that important, so learning how to create good titles is part of our blogging/online job.
Thank you for those great titles.
Sonia
Hi Sylviane! When I saw your latest post, I laughed because I swear it is like we all have the same theme at the same time. I loved your last post and it really helped me allot when it comes to writing. How are things with you?

These are definitely some great titles Sonia. Thanks for sharing this compilation of titles for blog posts. This gave me a couple of ideas!
Sonia
Hi Sherman! That was my sole purpose because I knew I wasn’t the only one. I am glad that you got some value of this post. Thanks Sherman for stopping by and leaving a comment.

And here I thought it were 64 titles to read.., which would mean we’d never get back to writing.
Instead, this is a wonderful list!
Now we never have an excuse to not write… Thanks!
Sonia
Hi Rogier, thanks, I know my friends are giving me slack for the number 62. I ran out of titles to be honest, but I am so happy that you found value with this post. Thanks Rogier.

Hello Sonia, Great list for sure. I think we all struggle with choosing GREAT titles. I often start writing a blog post and sometime before I am completed I’ve already changed the title I started with.
This list you provided will surely be something I can refer to.
Thanks so much for a very helpful post. Have a wonderful day.
Sonia
Hi Rob. Welcome! Yes, I do that the same thing because if I can’t get the title ready, I will be stuck on that for hours so to avoid it, I just write the post and don’t look back. I saw a great post from Neil Patel about that I follow that rule period. I am so glad that you got some value out of this and I hope it helps with your next blog post. Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate the visit.

Some great titles there to spark the creative juices. I also use quotes to spark an idea, they work really well for me and I can always think of great analogies to go along with them.
Enjoy the journey.

Hi Sonia
Some great list here I have not had a problem with getting the words out yet as I have just set up a new blog and I am over flowing with ideas whether they work or not time will tell. I am sure though this post is going to come in very handy in the future. By the way just been on your newest I wondered what was happening with your blog tried it a couple of times with no luck. Glad your back with great new looking theme and have resolved your problems.
Thanks lee
