Finding a topic to write about for your e-zine, blog post, or bylined article can cause a lot of people and “non-writers” to stress over topics, ideas and creativity.
I thought I’d help by offering you 101 ideas that you can write about. Keep this in mind. These topics are great for video blogs too.
You may wonder how you can connect these back to your business, products, services, clients and prospects. Yes, even a trip to the mall or a conversation with your dry cleaner are topics or examples worthy of mentions in your articles and blog posts.
Become “Life’s Little Observer” and use your writing and the topics as they relate to the bigger picture–like your customer service philosophy, your new product, your policies, relationships, attitudes, success, motivation, lessons learned, “A-HA” moments and more. The key is to show your reader how your example or story is relevant to them and how you can help them. Share a piece of yourself along the way.
