To generate a lot of buzz and interest in your blog, you have to find a topic that people want to read about. While it is ok to follow trends, it is best not to be trendy since trends come and go. Can you imagine if you started a blog about Beanie Babies 10 years ago? You wouldn’t have much to write about today. With that being said, it is fine to ride the wave a little bit. By that I mean, it is ok to blog about what is going on in our world and what is hot right now. The best way to do this is to find a topic that has some staying power and then post on what is current. For example right now “going green” and engines that can run on water is hot. That is because people are becoming more concerned about the environment and gas prices are ridiculous. One way to blog about this topic and to always stay relevant is to create a blog on environmentalism and then write posts about water fueled engines and ways to go green.

There is a lot of money to be made in the Going green trend and there is a lot to write about so you do not have to worry about running out of things to say. This topic can be monetized by :

Selling Advertisement Space: If you can get a lot of traffic to your blog, then you can sell advertising space to other marketers. Depending on your traffic, you may be able to charge top dollar.

Selling Books on How to Convert One’s Engine: If you look through the Clickbank marketplace, you will find plenty of books on how to convert a person’s engine to run on water.

“Going Green” and ways to decrease fuel costs are hot topics right now. For bloggers, this is a great opportunity to cash in and provide individuals with information on how to help preserve the environment. Remember, to ensure that you are always relevant and that you will not have to create a site about every new trend, envelop what is hot into a broader topic. For example, you can blog about “going green” and water fuel cells on your environmental blog. This way you can simply maintain this blog forever. You won’t be starting new blogs every few months. You can invest in the design of one blog and then use it to discuss relevant topics.
