When you pick a topic to write about, there are a few things to commit to heart. Are people truly searching for this? Are they likely to search for this? What is the prospect of this topic?

These questions should guide you to write for your targeted audience. However, you may miss the point if you don't understand how to perform keyword research. This is because to answer those questions, you may need one of the tools available.

Keyword research could be the number one step to writing a successful post. If people don't need it, it doesn't matter how well-written it is. If people don't search for it, it's a waste of your grammar.

That's where keyword research comes in.

Luckily, if you've been writing for a while now, you must have come across a few keyword research tools. I wanted to add more to your tools, but I'm sorry to disappoint you. 

I don't want to repeat what you can achieve with Ubersuggest or Semrush. A dozen of those tools may not matter if you just commit to using the two Google keyword tools discussed in my post, "2 Best and FREE Keywords Tools of All Time - No Further Searching".

This post will not stop there. It won't show you any tools, but rather, other sources of keywords that will help you in producing your next quality content. 

Below is the list of tactics to do keyword research without committing to any online tools.

Nine Other Methods to Come Up With Blog Topics Beyond Keyword Research

Here are nine tactics you can use to come up with blog topics without relying solely on keyword research:

1. Follow Industry News: Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in your industry and write about how they relate to your business or niche.
2. Monitor Social Media: Use social media monitoring tools to see what people are talking about and what questions they have. This can help you identify topics that are relevant and interesting to your audience.
3. Conduct Surveys: Use tools like SurveyMonkey or Google Forms to ask your audience about their interests, pain points, and preferences. Use this information to create blog posts that address their specific needs.
4. Leverage Your Personal Experiences: Share your personal experiences, lessons learned, and unique perspectives to create blog posts that resonate with your audience.
5. Collaborate With Others: Reach out to other bloggers or influencers in your industry and collaborate on a blog post or series of posts. This can help you generate new ideas and tap into their audience.
6. Conduct Interviews: Interview experts, influencers, or customers to gather insights and ideas for blog posts.
7. Analyze Your Competitors: Look at what your competitors are writing about and identify gaps or areas where you can provide a unique perspective.
8. Use Google Trends: Identify trending topics in your industry and write about them while they're still hot.
9. Repurpose Content: Look at your existing content and see if you can repurpose it into a new format or topic. For example, turn a popular blog post into a video or infographic.

Conclusion

As a matter of fact, keyword research tools may be necessary when you're just starting out in the content publishing industry. However, as you keep the game going, you find it more convenient to understand what people want to read by merely asking them, using their feedback in calls, emails, or comments, inspirations, and forecasting to achieve writing a hundred posts without going back to the usual tools.
