Summer time is quickly approaching, and now is the time to start thinking about your Summer blog post ideas! It is recommended to start planning content for seasons or holidays about 2-3 weeks in advance. For even better results, plan 2-3 months ahead of time!
Regardless of what your blog niche is, there are plenty of Summer blog post ideas for you to think about.
It is important to give your readers content that relates with the time of year, season, holiday, etc. This will help guarantee you the best possible traffic to your site.

motivation to write in the summer
Even if you have all the Summer blog post ideas in the world, actually writing them can prove to be quite a challenge.
In the summer time, it is understandable why you would want to be outside instead of being cooped up at your desk writing all day. However, summer time is a big time for bloggers, as many more people have off from work and are searching for ideas.
So, how can you stay motivated to continue writing during the summer time?
- Make a schedule for yourself. Set out an hour or two per day that works for you where you can spend time writing.
- If there is a rainy or cold day, use that to get ahead on your writing!
- Why not write outside? Take your laptop to the beach or poolside. Or, even take it to the patio of a bar and have a drink while you work!
- Don’t feel bad for canceling plans or telling friends no. Consider this your job, and it needs your time!
- Write about things that you are passionate about. If you don’t love it (or at least tolerate it), it will be MUCH more difficult to stay motivated.
- Reward yourself for your efforts. Finished a post? Be done for the day and enjoy the sun!
- Try to work either in the mornings or at night time, when you won’t be doing much anyway. That way, you have the full day to frolic in the sun!
- If you are going on vacation, try to schedule content in advanced. If not, don’t beat yourself up! Your readers can wait a week if you don’t get a chance to post. Enjoy yourself!
