In addition to the ideas I mentioned recently (and the ones from other referenced blogs, see below), I realized that there is another great strategy that can provide a rich vein of topics for blogging and tweeting; one that many don’t see, yet it is right under our noses.
What I am talking about are the daily interactions with friends and colleagues, dialogue that is often captured electronically via email and other means. We often buzz about topics near and dear to our businesses, products, services and lives. We share links and interesting tidbits. We correspond about breaking news and developments. We share opinions on what these mean, offer advice and discuss strategies.
These interactions can provide good topics and content for blogging and tweeting. The obvious caveats apply – you don’t want to share sensitive info or anything that might embarrass the source (err on the side of caution: if there is any question, just ask if it would be OK to tweet or blog about the topic at hand or share info with others).
Having said that, I often find that discussions with friends, collegaues and clients provide a great blogging or tweeting muse. It generally does not take much work to turn the info from an email message or thread into a blog post or tweet and, in doing so, keep the content drumbeat going.
