Blog Post Ideas...
Inspiration rarely strikes on a daily or even
a weekly basis. Hence, coming up with thought-provoking
or interesting blog posts can be a challenge for
those that do not have a personal muse to inspire
them. Use these blog post ideas to fill the gaps
between divine intervention and inspiration...
1. Comment On News
Add a personal commentary about industry news.
Adding an editorial commentary supporting or criticizing
industry news can generate a dialogue with website
visitors.
2. Interview Others
Interview professionals that have a stake in
your industry. Not only will the interviews generate
an interesting dialogue with other industry professionals,
but often they will also result in links back
to your blog from related websites.
3. Post How-To's
Industry experts should take advantage of their
knowledge and expertise by posting detailed How-To
guides that explain details to beginners. Use
your knowledge as a tool and let your expertise
shine by educating beginners.
4. Related Links
On occasion, post related links to resources,
other industry blogs, or items that might be of
interest to readers. Blog readers will generally
appreciate new links that are brought to their
attention.
5. Related Product Or Service Reviews
Write reviews of related companies, products,
or services. Be sure to let the company know about
the blog post, as they will often link to a positive
review, or they may include it in promotional
materials.
6. Announce New Resources
Post "New Product" announcements for a specific
industry. You can monitor press releases for related
sites or product announcements.
7. Host A Poll Or Survey
Post surveys and the results of industry polls.
Interpret the results, and draw hypotheses and
conclusions based on the statistical information.
Include a commentary based on the poll's outcome.
8. Conference Review
If you attend an industry conference, post conference
recaps and session notes in the blog post. Those
in the industry who were unable to attend the
conference will greatly appreciate the information
and summaries.
9. Share Concerns
If there are industry events, trends, decisions,
or news announcements within a specific sector
that are alarming, start a dialogue using your
blog. Communicate the issue, and articulate the
concerns, so that others are aware of any potential
issues before they become causes for concern.
Blogging is more than just filling gaps. What
is posted is just as important as the frequency
in which it is posted. Be sure to strike a balance
between quality and quantity. Dig deep, and write
about things that will be of interest to your
readers.
