How to find new ideas for blog posts

One of the biggest objections to blogging is often: “I don’t have anything to write about.”  But once you start looking around you, it’s easy to find new sources of interesting ideas.  Here are 17 sources to find ideas for blog posts, courtesy of Beeline Labs’ Lois Kelly:

  1. Conferences
  2. New studies and reports
  3. YouTube videos
  4. Book recommendations
  5. Notes or emails from customers/employees/partners
  6. Stories about people
  7. Views on breaking news
  8. Dinner/meetings with customers
  9. Do a guest “interview”
  10. Best practices and management tips
  11. Share a presentation
  12. 10 things that surprised me about…
  13. Be magnanimous
  14. Wax metaphoric
  15. Be a (constructive) critic
  16. Take sides
  17. Historical corollaries

We also posted a list of 200 blog ideas from Doug Karr of Compendium BlogWare back in October.

    Don’t forget the best advice of Google’s Matt Cutt’s: “Blog about the keywords that your clients and prospects are searching for”

    I love this one. Business Bloggers should keep a list of their keywords handy and reference any time they are facing a blank screen :-)
