What Should I Write about in My Blog?

Finally, you blog’s all setup and ready to go. Now it’s time to start blogging!
But, a key question remains...What do I say? Here are a number of suggestions that have created successful results on business blogs.

Write about what your company does. Making off-topic posts is great, but do it on your personal blog. Confine your business blog to stuff that is of interest to your target consumer. There’s nothing that’s more disconcerting when you go to someone’s blog about machining parts and see the recipe for their mother’s killer potato salad.

Write about stuff that your company doesn’t do that your audience wants to know about. Think of your blog as a trade magazine. You serve a small portion of the needs of that audience, but they have needs for lots of other information to help them do their job. So give it to them. This is a great way to build credibility with your audience, return traffic, and relationships with others in your industry.

Write about the stupid things people do in your industry. This is another never-ending source of content for your blog. Take all of those times when you shake your head in (lack of) admiration for something someone’s done and blog about it. It’s guaranteed that if one person’s made that mistake, thousands more have too. You’ll give them tips that will help keep them from making mistakes, at the same time building your reputation.
