10 Ways to Never Run Out of Ideas for Your Blog

As a small business owner, you might not know where to start when it comes to content. Or you might look at your blog and think that you’ll never find any new topics.

Don’t fear. Here are ten new ways you can easily generate so many new ideas you’ll never be at a loss again.

1. Surveys

Have you ever tried to ask your customers what they want? It sounds almost too easy. Simply send them a survey through a service like SurveyMonkey and ask them a question like, “What is the biggest struggle in your industry?”

2. Quora

3. Interviews

Ask industry leaders important questions your readers would love. Or find interesting case studies in your industry and interview them. Your interviewees could also help you gain a bigger audience. Leaders will bring their own fans and are more willing to share your content if they get personally involved.

4. LinkedIn or Facebook Groups

Social groups are where your audience interacts and forms personal connections. Just do a search on your industry topic and you’ll find public groups. For the private groups, you might need to form a connection with an established member, but it’s worth it.

5. Reviews

No matter what industry you’re in, there’s going to be relevant products you can try. People love tools. Pick one of the most interesting products and post your honest, in-depth review.

6. Google Trends

Tie popular news into an article about your industry. If you get lucky, you might find a trending topic that is actually in your industry, then you can blog about it before anyone else.

7. FAQs

There’s bound to be questions that you hear often. Put them into an easy to digest Frequently Asked Questions or FAQs article, and you could have one of the most popular sections on your blog. FAQs are commonly clicked because customers want answers, and they want them quickly.

8. Personal Stories

When was the last time you talked personally to your audience and opened up? This can be a bad experience or a good experience, but the point is to talk honestly. Let them into a slice of your life. It’ll help you win your customer’s trust.

9. Blog Comments

Readers will sometimes leave their most pressing questions on other blogs. Search for other top blogs in your niche, then find comments that can be expanded into posts. Typically, these are ones that haven’t been answered by the writer.

10. Sales Workers

The workers on the front lines who are talking with your customers will know them better than anyone. Pick their brain. Ask them why customers purchase. What leads them to act?
