Your Most Popular Posts

Take a look at some of your most viewed and commented on posts and pick up where the post may have left off. Look at sub-titles or bullet points and build content based upon just one of those points.

Twitter Trending Topics

Look at what is 'trending' on Twitter and use this as a barometer as to what are the currently 'hot' topics that have captured the interest of people.

Even if you have little interest in what is being spoken about you know that others do and that is what counts!

Popular Posts of Others

Sneak a peek at other blogs to see what people are talking about, or perhaps find a popular post from which you can gather thoughts and ideas.

What's On Your Mind

These questions may be related to how you can increase your own efficiency or perhaps a new development within the industry. Chances are that if it is on your mind it is also on the mind of others so share your input and insights!

People may not always agree with what you wrote, and it may spark debate, but all the better since it is being talked about.
