How to Get Ideas for your Next Blog Post, Pt 3.
Hi. I’m Nicole Dean and I’m here this week as a Guest Expert for Mike, sharing tips for how you can get ideas for your next blog post.
Today, I’m going to talk about your mailing list and lists in general. You do have one of those, right?
If you do, but they aren’t profitable — of if you don’t yet, go right now and grab this free report:
Six Steps to Six Figures with List Marketing.
It’s quite good.
ok. Let’s move ahead…Â
Here are some more tips for generating ideas.
8. Track your email results.
If you’re tracking your open rate in your newsletter &Â promotional emails, you’ll quickly find what your list members are most interested in hearing about by which emails are opened and which links are clicked upon the most. Obviously you’ll want to take those topics and write lots more and post it to your blog.
9. Sign up for your competitors’ lists.
Now, don’t sign up with your main email address, unless you set up the promotional emails to filter to a special folder. You don’t want your competition interrupting your work day or weakening your self-confidence during the day. But, you do want to keep an eye on trends to see what’s up and if they’re talking about a topic that you think your readers would like to learn more about, too.
10. Ask your readers.
You’ve got a list. You want those people on your list to like you and buy from you, right? So, ask them what they’d like to hear more about. Survey them with a tool like SurveyMonkey.com or EasyInternetSurveys.com or any of the other great free services and find out. Then, offer them more content based around that topic.
I’ll be back tomorrow with more. 
Warmly,
Nicole Dean

Surveys are a great idea! I have done a few of them, and it’s always neat to see what information comes out of it in the end, often different from what I would have imagined.
