What Can I Blog About?

One of the main challenges of running a blog is coming up with content. Ideally, you should be writing a few posts a week. However, I believe Health Food Store owners have a unique advantage! You are running a store in one of the fastest growing industries! There are new products, new stories, recipes, and so much more that you come across every day! Why not write about them?

Your website is chock full of content that Living Naturally provides. People look to you for healthy living information. A blog is just an extension of your website, which is an extension of your store. Integrate the three together and you will always have things to write about.

Just in case you DO run out of stuff to write about, here are some suggestions;
1. Check out Natural Market Watch. You can find new products information, reports on the best selling products, reviews from industry leaders and much more!
2. Create a List - Keep a list in your pocket at all times! You never know when an idea will pop up. Over the last week and a half, I have had numerous ideas for my website, some of which have gone by the way side because I had no way of recording them!
3. Review a Product - You have vast amounts of experience with the products that you sell. People want your knowledge! Sell your products by reviewing them!
4. Ask your Customers - As you chat with them, ask them what kind of health information they would find interesting and read about. Give them your card and tell them to check out your website and blog. It's a great way to drive traffic and come up with ideas!
5. Respond to Readers - If someone leaves a comment and it is worth expanding upon, put it in a post! It can be a great relationship building tool.
6. Write a How-To Post - Write about how to use a certain product you sell. If people seem unsure when buying the product, wouldn't it be great to have the instructions on your blog!
7. Write about HOT PRODUCTS - Combine the review strategy with the Natural Market Watch and you have a great opportunity to find out what the best selling products are and write about them. This is a great way to attract traffic.

Hope this helps you come up with ideas!
