Ideas for your blog

These are things that popular blogs do, and are a starting point if you get stuck. Hopefully you’ll have more interesting and original ideas yourself.

1. Write a 'How to' guide - people like these because everyone like to learn something
2. Lists - come up with one, like this!
3. Have an issue - try and get support for something that you’re passionate about and your audience may care
4. Interview - if you have access to someone interesting, get them on the phone and interview them
5. Review - it could be a book, film, art, etc.
6. Case study - write about a real world experience from your POV
7. Research - try and find something out and make a few conclusions
8. What's new, trends - if you’re on top of your subject, highlight what’s new in that field
9. Ask the audience - focus on an issue and ask people to feedback
10. Be controversial – take a strong POV and argue it

And, aim to try and post at least one thing a week.

For a seven minute tutorial on how to create your own blog, take a look at this.
