Finding Blog Topic Inspirations
I know my website needs a blog
But what to write about?
This question is repeated to me time and again by clients. I even asked the same question when I began blogging. Then one day it hit me … I spend several hours a week answering clients questions over the phone and via email why not leverage this work
This approach has proved invaluable to me as a blogger. By posting blogs inspired by client questions I accomplish many things.
First, I know my posts are relevant to my readers. As the saying goes, “If you have a question ask it. You are not the only person in the room who is wondering the same thing”
Second, My posts are related to my work and thus on topic with the rest of my website. This translated into an increase in relevant content for my website; a powerful component of SEO.
Third, it gives me an opportunity to extend conversations beyond one person. Where an e-mail only connects me with one person; a blog opens up the conversation to the world.
So that is where I find my inspiration
Where do you find inspiration for your blog posts?

That’s the way it’s done! And here’s another simple trick: If you write a blog that lists 5 tips to do something “better” — each of those 5 tips can be a post unto itself. Saves you time, builds traffic, and allows you to continue the conversation. Plus it keeps any one blog post from becoming too long.
How it’s done: Use the 5 tips blog as an umbrella, give just enough info to answer the question, but leave enough out to encourage a return. And then promise — and DELIVER — 5 more blogs that explore each topic more fully.
