Where Will I Find Material for my Blog?
If you’re a prolific author, you will have several dozen articles that can be repurposed to start posting on your blog . The rest of us struggle.
· Create a daily or weekly Google Alert on several keywords in your niche. Refine the keywords as you progress.
· Use the Trending feature of Twitter. You’ll know up-to-the-minute what’s happening in your niche and be able to comment on your blog before most of your audience is aware it’s an issue.
· Report on a recent Conference you attended
· Link to another blog post and comment. Find another recognized expert in the field. Do you agree or disagree with the point of view? It’s more powerful to disagree, or put your spin on the material presented.
· Invite guest bloggers. You’ll attract their blog audience too. Make an agreement to submit an article to their blog.
