I love blogging. I enjoy inspiring others to make smarter financial choices and it’s amazing that I can make a little side income through this blog. This money goes straight toward the debt snowball on my student loans.
(Side note: If you’re interested in starting your own money-making blog, check out my free step-by-step guide for setting up a WordPress blog.)
As much as I like blogging, there are occasionally times when I get writer’s block. So I decided to do some research on what other lifestyle bloggers are writing about in order to compile this long list of topic ideas! Whether you’re a frugal lifestyle blogger or a blogger in another niche, there are plenty of ideas here for you.
