Top (10/100) topics for content writing

1. Your lessons learned. Even if you have only been in business 30 days longer than some of

your readers, they can learn from you. Share your best tips. What have you learned? How can

you help them avoid the mistakes you made?

2. Share your journey of building your business. Share both the good and bad. If you share your

real self, the fact that you are human and make mistakes, try things that sometimes don't work,

people will be better able to connect with you. When you do this you also invite them in to your

community in a more intimate way. They become invested in you and your brand. Then, when

you start to succeed they feel as though they were part of helping you succeed. They are then

happy to celebrate the wins with you and it doesn't come across as much self promotion as it

would if they didn't know you and how you got there.

3. Write brand stories. Share stories of your experiences in business and life. The art of

storytelling is one of the greatest skills you can learn as a blogger. If you can learn to share stories that guide people through a scenario they can picture in their head, relate to, they will

often times become loyal followers and friends.



4. Expert interviews. Interview industry experts, thought leaders and inuencers your audience

would like to hear from. Keep it simple and ask them a few questions. Then write a blog post or

record a video summarizing the interview and lessons learned.

5. Video blogging (Vlogging). If you can't stand the thought of writing then start out with videos

or podcasts. You don't have to have an expensive camera. Start with a webcam and a good

Mic. The days of expensive video that every word is scripted are over and done. Focus on

being real and in a real way. connecting with your audience.

6. News: This is one of the easiest to nd content sources. The trick is to add your own opinion,

interpretation and thoughts on how it impacts your industry or niche. Only cover news that is

relevant to your audience, niche and/or local market. I am not a big fan of saying what has

already been said 100 times unless I have something unique to add.

7. Audience Needs: What is the information your audience needs? Make a simple list of the

type of information they need and write about it

8. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): What are the top questions your audience has? You can

write one post or often times an entire series of posts on just one of the questions. If you don't

know the questions your audience has then you don't know your audience, period! If you don't

know your audience, talk to them. Ask them questions. It will be the best time spent, trust me!

9. Solve Problems. What are the top problems or pain points your audience has? Provide

answers and solutions to these problems!

10. Tips and How To Lists: People love to read content in easily consumable and sharable bits

and bytes. This is why tips work great. There are some bloggers that complain about other

bloggers who write lists. I say “who cares.” There is only one way to do social media and

marketing and that is the way that works for you and your business. I write lists all the time and

I'll tell ya, they are some of my most successful posts. My audience likes them, they share them,

the thank me for them and they come back for more. Why would I listen to some blogger who

doesn't have a clue of my objectives or the objectives of my audience. I don't listen or care what

others say about what I should do on my blog and either should you!
