What Should I Blog About?

I get questions from new bloggers and some intermediate bloggers too — on what the heck they should blog about.
Many people run out of ideas after they have tackled the bulk of the “usual questions” in their niche.
But you know what — while I could sit here and write you a Top 20 list of things to blog about — that’s just fodder for Digg
Really - what everyone needs to do is this…
1. Go to your google search history (or whatever search engine you use to research and troubleshoot) and look at what you searched on the past day or so.
2. Create a quick list of those searches (appropriate for your market) in your favorite text editing software. I use textedit for mac.
3. Now write a blog post for each of those searches - making sure to use the exact words you used to search for your solution in your post’s title and/or within the post. Because just how you searched for your solutions — is the same way that other people just like you are going to search for their own answers. *This works really well if you didn’t find too many results for your search– obviously.
Example: The other day I did a search for a problem I needed help with using a mac software program called Sandvox. I did the search but didn’t find any immediate answers. I had to go to their support staff. But now I can write a blog post about that exact same problem, offer a solution, so that when others search on the same issue — they will find help and it will come from MY blog
