Ask an Ambassador - What should I blog about?
Last week while teaching an agency/online marketing class the most asked question during the break was - how am I ever going to figure out what to blog about every week? Of course if you're a regular, seasoned blogger like myself this seems like a silly question - because - every day, all day long ideas pop into your head about what to blog about, right? But it's really not that silly of a question by a long shot! Think back to when you first started blogging....way back.... to your first week or month. If you've never were a writer it must have seemed overwhelming at first. It once did to me way back when and I was a writer from a very young age. Not only did I need to figure out what to blog about but I also needed to learn all the do's and don'ts of blogging as fast as I could. And I remember thinking, why would people want to read what I'm writing about! Yikes! I couldn't have been more off base with that idea!

Are you getting the picture now? There is an endless stream of ideas for blogging!
What worked for me (and still does to this day) is to write the title or basic idea of a blog post until I have time to write it out. If you're at your computer start a post with that title or idea and keep it in draft mode. At some point in time you'll have plenty of ideas of things to write about and you'll be well on your way to becomming a seasoned blogger!
