Now That I Set Up My Blog, What Do I Write About?

It's me again, Glorypreneurs!

I trust that you have taken a sneak peak at the How to Set Up a Free Blog video I posted yesterday, but now you may be sitting in front of your computer screen like a deer in headlights wondering, "What in the world am I going to write about now that Angela twisted my arm to start this sandblasted blog?"

Well have no fear. I've been where you are, and I have, and I still do, ask myself the same question.


The tips I posted on the blog earlier are sure to help you, but these little exercises I found online are also really, really helpful. Jeff Goins has created, "A Helpful Writing Exercise to Focus Your Blog Content."

The Exercise

Before you begin writing, consider your subject (what you want to write about), then boil it down to a theme (your specific angle and area of focus), then an objective (what you want to accomplish).

Subject

The subject is the broadest area of your writing.
It can be stated in a word or two, probably. In order to find it, ask yourself:

• What am I passionate about?
• In what topic do I have expertise or a desire to learn?
• What could I write about for a year without running out of ideas or energy?

Exercise: Spend 10 minutes brainstorming one-word answers to the above questions. Don’t take too long. Let intuition guide you. Then, pick one (and only one).
