What do I write about?
By Mike | February 24, 2007
The absolute number one question asked in my surveys is what do I write about?
As a friend of mine says that is like asking how long is a ball of string?
The answer will depend on you, your knowledge and more importantly your passions. Here is one way that I do this. It works for others too so this may solve your problem.
Pick a topic that you have a real interest or passion for first. That usually gives you something that will be easy for you to write about. For me it is using Word Press. For my friend Jon Olson he is the Traffic Exchange Guy. He will go talk to anyone about using them at the drop of a hat.
The next step is to find out what kind of questions people are asking about your topic. Check out forums, groups, etc to see what topics are being discussed and what kind of questions are being asked. This will give you topics to write about that you know people are interested in.
Finally, one of the best ways is to ask people. I do that regularly here. If you have a question you would like answered about Word Press or blogging in general leave a comment or you can go to the survey link below.

Now if you are interested in using this type of service we use Ask Data Base to keep track of these items for us. There are also scripts available that will allow you to run surveys too.
Now if you are also looking to create products this information will show you exactly what type of things people are looking for answers about. This will give you topics for your blog that are things of interest to you and do your market research at the same time. Hope this helps you to create a blog that you can enjoy and be useful for others.
