In my previous
article on 25
Ways to Market Your Business one of
my suggestions was to create and maintain
a blog. I think that many business owners
start a blog with the best intentions,
and then quickly run out of steam because
they don't know what to write about. The
reality is that you can blog about just
about anything. This list of blog post
ideas should get you started!
Want someone to edit your blog posts before
they go live? Give me a call. I can take
your "diamonds in the rough"
and make them shine.

11 Ideas for Interesting Blog Posts
|
Blogging
can be an excellent way to drive traffic
to your website and build your reputation
as an expert in your field. The catch, though,
is that you have to keep coming up with
ideas for what to blog about - day after
day, week after week. Here are 11 ideas
to get your creative juices flowing.
-
Interview
someone in your field. The interview
can be conducted via telephone or email.
Recording the interview and adding audio
or video to your blog can be even more
interesting.
-
Write
about an event. Attend a conference,
meeting, or other relevant event and report
on the interesting parts.
-
Reflect
on something. Write about something
that happened to you this week, a decision
you made, etc. What lead you down this
path? What are the implications?
-
Make
a visual post. Post photos or video
of something interesting. Explain it,
include relevant links, ask questions,
and so forth.
-
Write
a book or product review. Make it
relevant to your blog's topic, and include
appropriate links.
-
Make
a list. Lists (such as this one!)
are very popular. 10 Ways to X, Top 25
Somethings, etc.
-
Create
a how-to. A tutorial on a popular
(but possibly confusing) issue in your
subject area will be much appreciated.
-
Repurpose
other items. Take a look at your company's
written materials - website, brochures,
documentation, memos, etc. - to see if
any of it can be turned into blog posts.
-
Invite
a guest. Ask an expert in your field
to write a post for your blog.
-
Look
at the pros and cons. Examine the
pros and cons of an issue, possibly including
links to others' posts on the topic.
-
Do
a case study. Highlight one of your
company's successful projects.
