In 2018, I wrote an article on how to find catchy ideas for a new blog. Writing blogs, having an original voice, and publishing your opinions on popular or “highly-searched” topics were all the rage. That is until AI threatened the bloggers to take away their keyboards and brains from them. Search any of those topics today, and AI will generate sophisticated content answering all your queries. It will satisfy your curiosity. It will even create a list of catchy ideas for a new blog. So, am I relevant? Are you relevant? Should we collectively concede defeat and let our blogging hopes be another squashed coffee shop-library dream? Not so fast.

Even with apps like Perplexity and ChatGPT, blogging is not dead. It is not even in a coma. In short, if you want to buy a domain and start a website in 2025, do it.

We are entering an era where content will be mass-produced. Like in any other industry, automation will make the relationship between the computerised and the human rough, maybe even a little competitive. Nevertheless, this also means that the way content is consumed and perceived will also change. Readers are more likely to gravitate towards nuanced, well-written, human writings. The key to navigating this new relationship is remembering that, like any other machinery, AI is here to assist the writers. I say, put it to work – generate ideas and outlines, brainstorm and create unique perspectives, and when you feel most threatened or insecure, you embrace the absurd.

Designed to be the “perfect human”, AI still lacks the human skill to be random, silly, and absurd. In the days when intelligence is artificial, humans must be creative. In 2025, unleash your imagination. The idea is to not replace or let replace but to collaborate. The best time to be unique, random, and embrace your absolute individuality is here. You don’t have to beat the AI. Instead, you need to put it to work for you.

If anything, with the rise of AI, we may be entering a new era of modern literary and artistic romanticism. When the robotic logic, rationale, and reason of artificial intelligence rise, the human mind is bound to turn to creativity, emotions, and artistic expression of thought. We might even be looking at a 21st-century thought movement waiting to happen. Cherish it. Be a part of it. As a writer and creator, it is your time to shine.

With that in mind, let’s also dive into the expected 2025 blogging trends you can get on board with this coming year to reach the full potential of your blogging ambitions.

2025 Blogging Trends

AI-driven Content Creation

Enhanced use of artificial intelligence and automation is the next logical step to blogging. Adapting to technological trends should be the foremost priority for bloggers this coming year.
AI is expected to be the writing assistant for most bloggers and content creators (myself included) in 2025. It makes researching a topic easy, checks grammar, suggests better formats, and what-nots.
Tools that automate writing are also expected to become commonplace, increasing efficiency and content creation speed. However, this also means that readers will be more inclined to read authentic, original writings on niche topics.
This takes us to the next 2025 blogging trends: quality over quantity and niche content.

Quality over Quantity

With the advent of automated, quickly-generated content, quality will become the primary kingpin for search engines. The emphasis will be on well-researched, personality-packed, authentic content with valuable and relevant information over high volumes of content.

Niche Content

Even with 54 million active blogs, the market is still not saturated. However, in 2025, start a blog by zeroing in on one target audience for better SEO and a better reputation as an expert. As the number of blogs grows, the scope of niche blogging in 2025 also grows. If you provide unique perspectives and insights and solve specific problems, you will deliver consistent quality content that resonates with your niche audience.
Top profitable niche topics to explore in 2025 include travel, finance, fashion, medicine, and design.

Interactive Content

In 2025, the most potent way to get your audience’s undistracted attention is by creating interactive content. You can add videos, animations, quizzes, polls, surveys, or interactive infographics. The idea is to prioritise engagement by creating a memorable experience where readers can participate.

Diverse Monetising Trends

Let’s be serious! Who doesn’t want their blogs to have lucrative potential? In 2025, you will be able to prioritise multiple options because of the new trend of diverse revenue. Even though the blogging field isn’t neck-and-neck (thanks to niche audiences), you still should explore the possibilities of multiple income channels like affiliate marketing, digital product sales, advertising, Google Ads, and more. The idea is to align with your blog’s niche, maintaining content quality and audience’s trust when you sell them something you know will benefit them.

In Essence:

2025 is the best time to start blogging because this is the year when readers are going to be looking for better quality. This is the year that can set your skill apart, monetising trends will be in your favour, and the market isn’t even saturated.
