How do you develop your blogging ideas?

I have generally come up with my own ideas, especially from my job search, requesting permission where necessary. Here’s a list of thing I blog about:

• Weekly job search tasks (bottom of this contents page)
• Job interview questions that I have answered (this contents page)
• Job interviews (with permission) (third title of this contents page)
• Agency sign ups (fourth title of this contents page)
• Networking events (with permission from organisers and attendees) (This contents page)
• Company Hunts (second title of this contents page)
• CV Drops (second title of this contents page)
• Anything from job search and career books (with referencing)

From there, I try to do a spider web (brainstorming) format. For example, from job interviews, I take note of all interview questions and answer them on my blog as posts. Then I attempt to ask similar interview questions to answer.

For networking events like Purple Networking with permission from the amazing organiser, Stuart Ritchie, I ask the attendees if they would be prepared to be named in my Purple Networking blog. From there I ask the regular attendees if they would be prepared to complete a Q&A session on networking. The next stage that I haven’t completed yet, but I would consider doing. From there, I would ask if the attendees would be interested in completing other Q&A sessions on things like Customer Service, Recruitment and Warehouse. This would depend on what their job is and what company they work for.

I am not going to lie though. Sometimes I have had writer’s blog and ideas block, where I have had to complete some research on what I can blog about, like I mentioned on my Blogging Ideas posts that I published on Monday 30 September 2019 at 12:00.
