But What Will I Blog About?

Blogging is the centerpiece of our soon-to-be Website and social media strategy. Each program director will post blogs to their program pages, and the blogs will be aggregated on the home page. I compiled this list to answer the inevitable title question, but it still feels incomplete. Any additions?

    I also recommend you check out Darren Rowse at Problogger. He's full of great tips on getting started, what to write about, and how to be compelling.

    If you could do it all again, what would you do differently?
    If you you'd known then what you know now ...
    If you ruled the world you'd ...
    Strategies to Kick the Economy's Backside

    Best books on subject X

    I hope this modest list helps. Good luck to you.

    Blog about what your ideal customers care about. Don't know what that is? Ask them!

    Also, consider guest bloggers and topics that aren't specifically about your business, but are ancillary - what people do after getting a loan, avoiding a loan entirely, tips for saving money, etc.
