Most published writers have author’s blog also known as author’s website, and if you do not have one, you must! Even if you are in the process of getting published, you must have this platform. Social media platforms can also help to attract traffic to your author's website. Social media platforms can also act as an excellent tool for engaging with your audience but that’s for when you have something useful to share with your audience. For the very purpose, blogging on your website is very significant.

If you are new to it, you might need guidance, if you are doing this for a while you might run out of ideas. Either way, you have landed at a great place to collect the inspirations for your blogs.

While writing a blog post always keep in mind what your audience might like to read? What information they would like you to provide. February is mainly a month about love, romance and yes Valentine’s Day. These will be the most trending topics in the coming months and so you too should consider writing about it.

Austin Macaulay is recommending you a list of 10 post ideas you can publish on your author blog this February.

1.    Books to better understand the opposite gender

It’s a known scientific fact that the brains of two genders function in different ways. They have developed differently for evolutionary significance. However, it happens too often that what’s normal for one gender may be disturbing for the other. This causes difficulty in understanding each other, communication problems and unhappy relationships at large scale. Sensing the need to resolve such issues many authors have contributed by writing books which can help in understanding the opposite gender. Such books have great reception and by providing a list of such books to read in this month you can attract a lot of audiences.

2.    Take Your Child to the Library Day

Fortunately, 2nd February is ‘Take Your Child to the Library Day’ and we are glad such a day exist. This could be a great opportunity for the authors who write children books. You can generate a number of blog posts title central to this idea. For example:

•    Why it is important for children to have a membership to a local library.

•    Take your child to the library and build a reading habit early on.

•    Take your child to the library and enjoy some quiet time.

•    Five reasons to take your child to the library

3.    Romantic Places to hang out in my city

In this month, couples and lovers around the globe tend to hang out together more often than any other month. They like to spend time together in places which are away from the hustle of city life, where the two of them can just focus on each other. You can recommend places for picnics, hiking, dining out and sightseeing spots for couples to hang out during the romantic season of love. Such posts are engaging as people are in constant search of new places to explore and fresh experiences to gain.

4.    Valentine Gifts I will like to recommend

Around this time of the year, many people who are in a relationship are looking for gift ideas. If you are able to recommend something good and help your audience finding a solution you can actually develop a bond with them. Do not forget to recommend some good books among other items, as books are a great gift to give someone. Such posts if written correctly, with a genuine recommendation, can earn your loyalty of your followers.

5.    Best and Worst Romantic Relationships I Had

When the audience visits an author’s website they are curious to know more about the author. Many find the tales of romantic relationship fascinating. This could be a very engaging post. On the other hand, this could also be very personal and not everyone is comfortable sharing such information online on public platforms. Alternatively, just like all stories told are not true and authors with penname are opting for a false identity you can get creative with such post. However, this is a risky game. Only go for such blog post if you are fairly comfortable with it.

6.    Books That Have Inspired Me

Generate a list of inspiring books that you have read. These could be motivational self-help books on personal grooming or novels with a strong lead character. Your audience will like to know your taste in books. They will be interested in knowing what books have inspired you or your writing. It is also a good way to promote reading habit by suggesting good books to read.

7.    Top Ten Funny Wedding stories to tell

Did you know February is also ‘National Wedding Day’? More people get married in February than any other part of the year. If humour is your stronger suite you can write some funny wedding stories for your audience to enjoy. Wedding stories are always an interesting read for the female audience. You can also ask your audience to respond with their funny stories from a wedding they attended.

8.    Review A Book, and Hold a Contest with A Give Away

Review a book by a fellow author, without giving away too much information about the plot and announce one or two copies of that book as a giveaway. This is a very common practice many. Many bloggers, social media influencers and website frequently announce such giveaways. To enter contest audience just have to provide their email and verify the email address. This helps the bloggers generate a mailing list for their newsletters and promotional emails.

9.    Top 5 Foods to Enjoy On a Lazy Weekend

10.    Favourite Quotes from Books You Have Read
