1. FAQs
There are probably a few questions that your customers often ask you, so think about how you can turn the answers into blog posts. This is how my post “How much should I pay for a logo?” came about. These types of posts often become some of the most popular articles on blogs.
2. Write a case study
Try writing about how your products or services have helped one of your customers – and if you can get a testimonial from that customer, so much the better!

3. Write a tutorial
Share some of the skills and knowledge you’ve gained by writing a tutorial; it can be anything from a quick tip, to a large, in-depth project. This can also help to demonstrate your expertise in your industry.
4. Compile a list post
List posts are always popular, both with bloggers and readers, so why not try compiling a list of useful resources, inspirational work, or a set of tips and tricks.
5. Do an interview
Think of someone in your industry you admire and ask them if they’d be willing to be interviewed for your blog. Or you could interview a colleague to give some insight into the people behind your brand.
6. Use your experiences
Have you overcome any challenges in your business? The experience you gained and lessons you learned could help others in that situation.

7. Respond to someone else’s post
If you read a blog post that prompts you to write a really long comment, consider writing it as a blog post instead. Maybe you’ve got a different experience or opinion to share. Make sure to link back to the original post so people can read that too.
8. Industry news
Are there things happening in your industry, such as technological advances or changes in legislation? You could write about how these changes affect your business, and your customers.
