So what do you write… blog about?? 

Most of you are probably going to be writing about topics related to your business, your industry, your website, or have your own topic that you’ll talk about.  One of the topics I included in this blog is website design.   But if you want ideas on what to blog about keep reading.

Here’s a few areas and topics you can write about:

1. Write about what you know - if you’re area of expertise is business then write about a case study or a story or tips such as “How to Plan Your Business?”, or even mini articles.   
2. Write about related news - If you read daily news about your industry and you see a good informative news article that you think might be interesting then write a small description with your own opinion, hints, tips.
3. Write about a book - If you read a good book about a topic related to your area then write a review about it, would you recommend it to your readers, what you didn’t like about it, what you did like, what you would change, add.
4. Write about a product - Maybe you finally decided to buy that product and found it to be exceptionally good, then write about the product.  A guide on how to use it, where to find it, troubleshooting, help, anything that you thought was helpful to you and might be helpful to your readers.
5. Write About a Great Website - Did you find a diamond in the rough, or a great website resource that you immediately bookmarked then make sure to mention it on here.  I’m always looking for a great resource to further my knowledge, and add on to my tool set.  So If you find a good website then recommend it.
6. Write about an Event - Did you enjoy the event, or a seminar that you recently went to then write about it.  What the event was about, how it helped, and like the rest of the above write your own opinion.

I’m sure more ideas will popup as the day progresses, so it’s a good thing these posts are easy to edit. 

Keep in mind that most blogging software includes the ability to categorize each post, so if you have different posts about different topics then just make sure to categorize it appropriately.

If you find any additional topics to write about then please make sure to leave a comment on this post.

In the next blog we’ll talk about the importance of Blogging Etiquette.

Let’s find out why?

If you own a website, as I’m sure most of you do or are thinking about getting one, then one of the first challenges you’ll face is how to keep search engine bots such as Google coming back for more which helps you rank higher which in turn helps you generate more traffic.  

To understand why Search Engines like blogs you have to first understand that one of the main goals for a search engine is to find new, updated information. One of the best ways to find this new information is from blogs.

Why?

• Blogs offer unique content because each blogger is unique about their opinions & interests.
• Blogs offer new more updated information (IF you keep your blog updated)
• Blogs are easy to manage - you don’t need to be a web guru to have a blog.  It’s easy to add a post, and manage your blog. 

Sounds easy enough, it is. If you’re ready to get your own blog then head on over to (ok one last plug) Netlyte.com.
