I’m often asked, “Where do you get the ideas to blog about?” Honestly, I get them from you all—my loyal readers and followers. Your questions, comments, emails, and voice mail messages give me great ideas for blog posts. If YOU are wondering about a specific topic, then I know that OTHERS are looking for this small business advice too!
I always write about how to grow or start your business. To find content ideas, I also reflect on the challenges I have faced in my own business, and when I learn something new, I like to share those things too. When I read books, listen to podcasts, and read articles about industry trends, it makes me think about what I want to teach you, so you get the small business advice you need BEFORE you experience a problem in your business.
So far in 2018, I have published 155 articles on my website! While I hope you take time to explore them all, here’s a list of the best small business blog advice I’ve shared this year.
