15 blogging ideas for small businesses

Recently I have heard that small business owners think it would be hard to keep up their blogs because they don't have enough to write about. To this I totally disagree.
To many small business owners, they look at what they do as everyday. They have procedures and methods and they have done them for so long they don't even think about it. They just automatically do them.
So my advice is to step back and look at your business and every aspect of what you do for blogging topics. Be the outsider looking in and I think you'll see plenty.

Here's some things you might see:

1. How do you handle your customer requests?

2. Who is responsible for doing the work that your company does? Who are they and how long have they been with you? Names and a biography- humanize your business.

3. What are your companies policies?

4. Where does the bulk of your work come from? Referrals? Advertising? Social media?

5. What service or product do you offer and why?

6. How did you start your business? Was it from yourself, taken over from a family member, bought...?

7. How does the process work from receiving an inquiry to actually completing the service or providing the product?

8. Where are you located and why are you there? What makes your area great?

9. What about a customer interview?

10. What are your future plans?

11. What would your customers like to see you offer in the future?

12. What about you? Who are you? Do you have a family?

13. What makes your business stand above the rest?

14. How about some posts that are informative concerning other products/services that are within your field? Show your knowledge and authority.

15. What about offering a contest?

These are just some of the many things that you could choice to write about but it should get you off to a great start. Have some more ideas and you'd like to share them for others? Just leave a comment and your suggestions or what has worked for you.
