 1. Research news feeds relating to your product or service daily to keep up to date with what’s happening in your industry and to see if you can find a topic to include in your updates.

2. Think about the time of year and see if you can add an update relating to a special event, occasion or date.

3. Answer any questions your Friends and Followers have posted or emailed to you – you can use these as a basis for your blog posts too.

4. Ask people what they would like to know about your area of expertise and then answer it in a blog post.

5. Go behind the scenes and interview key members of staff to give people an insight into your company.

6. Give your readers a poll or survey to complete and then analyse the results in your next post.

7. See what people are tweeting about and see if you can use this as an angle for a blog post.

8. Blog about the websites and blogs that you find interesting and highlight what you like about them.

9. Ask your clients about their experience of using your company and tweet or blog about their responses.

10. Check the comments on your blog (and other blogs) and see if there are any themes that appear which you could base a blog on.
