21.  Run a survey and write about the results.
22. Scrutinise your blog categories – what could you add?
23. Read your blog tags out loud.
24. Could you combine two previous blog topics and create a new blog?
25. Analyse your website / blog search box (i.e. for interesting keywords / phrases).
26. Have a content marketing plan, stretching a whole year ahead.
27. Read a cross section of blogs from other industries and countries.
28. Use creative thinking techniques (would it help to hire a creative thinking trainer?)

The more frequently you blog, the easier it gets. One idea sparks other ideas. The hardest part is getting started.
