Forty Blog Topics for Entrepreneurs

Yesterday I wrote a post that gave WordPress freelancers 40 blog topics so that they wouldn't have to stare at a computer screen wondering what to write about.

What I told them is exactly what I'll tell you.

It's not the topic or even the title that makes the post yours. It's your voice. And your opinion. Five people could write the same post and have five different posts. Very different posts.

So here are 40 topics. All you have to do is make them your own.

Because we all want to hear your story. To be inspired by it. To feel closer to your company because we know your story.

So there you go – forty blog posts that frankly, I think everyone should write.

In fact, I'm sending a note to our marketing team to get started. Of course they're going to think I'm insane for having published this.

But like I said, what makes these posts unique isn't the topic. It's your take on the topic.

So good luck.
