Did you attend a webinar? What did you learn and how did you go about implementing it? Write a post about it. When I first started blogging, I didn’t know what to write about. I watched videos and took notes. Then I turned those notes into a value-driven blog post. Take what you learn and teach it to others. Use the learn, apply, teach philosophy.If you learn on a regular basis (and you should) you’ll never run out of blog content ideas!

By publishing long lists, you can show your expertise and provide a lot of information to your reader. You can write tips with a number. “7 Ways to Get More Leads”, “5 Blog Marketing Tips”. You get the idea.
Most people scan through blog posts. Lists make it easy for a reader to go through your content to see which detail they prefer to read.

What type of problems do people in your niche face? Create quality content that solves a problem. Keep it simple and to the point!

You can build up your blog content ideas with guest bloggers. Be sure to create some guest post best practices. Your website can benefit from more exposure, especially if the contributor has a following.
Hey Lisa,
Great list you’ve put together here. I am definitely challenged at times to come up with fresh
ideas. This is very helpful. I have done very well in the past with company reviews but I love the idea of doing an article or two on industry or specific company leaders.
