Fresh content ideas #11 to #20
Give your audience a reason to visit your blog and keep coming back. Demonstrate a knowledge of your products and industry and share with them useful insights that will educate and inspire them.
- Prevention and protection – How to stop the worst occurring from an insider’s point of view. What your readers can do to stop security hacks, theft from their shop, stained carpets …
- Industry round up – Profile products, entrepreneurs or organisations in your industry and do a round-up of “who’s doing what”.
- Time travel – Take them into the future. How will your reader’s life change (relevant to your industry) in the next five, ten, 20 years? As a separate feature, travel back in time. What happened in the past? How your product or industry has evolved – share nostalgia and bring your story to life.
- Spot and explain trends – Tell your readers what’s hot and why. Have there been new launches, new research or major market changes?
- Opposing opinions – Invite experts in your industry with opposing views and have them discuss it on your business blog.
- Be a tour guide – Offer your own “translation” advice for newbies to the industry or help eliminate the jargon. “What your accountant really means when they say [X]” for example.
- Local matters – Stories and advice on all things within your local or national market. Provide a local angle for your own company and talk specifically about your home town, country or continent in relation to your business.
- Journey abroad – The opposite of local matters. What’s happening in your industry around the world. What overseas developments might be new and exciting to your readers?
- League tables – Review the best (or worst) elements in your industry. Best furniture suppliers, best restaurants for families, best solicitors for small businesses …
- Industry calendar of events – Can you create a calendar full of events and activities that would be of interest to your readers? Maybe the best food or local farmer markets, a calendar for the social season or sporting events.
