Here's a list of blogging ideas

2. How-to-guides - People are now searching Google using questions instead of keywords. How do I 'blah blah blah' - which type of 'widget' is best - step by step guide to 'whatever'. People love easy to follow instructions that answer their questions.
3. Industry news - Comment on what’s in the news with regards to your industry. Become an authority on your subject / market, have an opinion.
4. Own news - Give updates on what’s going on in your own business. This can be anything from employees taking part in charity events, new products/services, showcasing your own work etc.

7. Recommendations - Create an article of websites your recommend, books, software, places to visit, cars, product recommendations… anything really.
8. Interviews - Try interviewing an expert in your field or create a series of expert interviews. This is a great way to provide interesting content for your readers. It also encourages the interviewees to help promote your blog post to their own network of readers and followers.
9. Links to interesting content - Compose a blog post that includes links to other websites/articles/blogs that you think your readers will find useful.
