Everyone can write but most people don't realise that the best time is now. A lot of people say they would love to write more or even have a blog, if only they could think of things to write about!

To be successful as a blogger and make it work from an SEO perspective, you need to post something regularly. And by regularly we mean at least once a week. This may seem excessive and difficult to maintain as you might not think you can find things to talk about as often as this. But if you can do it, it will pay dividends.

If you've found your way to this blog post, then you're probably considering outsourcing your blog posts. If this is the case, there's a few things I'd like you to ask yourself. First of all, why are you blogging at all? What are your motivations and goals for your blog? In this post we'll take a look at reasons for blogging and the benefits of outsourcing.

I was playing peak-a-boo with my 3 year old recently. You know this game, it's where you cover your eyes with your hands, then open them like shutters and say 'peak-a-boo!' Every time my little boy fell about laughing at this. After watching me do it a few times, he wanted to try it himself and when he covered his eyes he said, 'can't see me', then when he opened his hands he shouted, 'peak-a-boo!' This idea of 'if I can't see you, you can't see me' is so innocent, I love it. I think I'll actually be sad when he realises one day I can still see him even when his eyes are covered.

The TED Blog runs alongside the popular TED Talks platform, however it offers far more than simple information about their schedule of speakers or plans for the coming months. On TED a fantastic assortment of writers find a space to share their knowledge on issues affecting all areas of science, technology and design.

Eating your pudding before your main will fill you up and you won't have room for your dinner, you'll miss out on the nutritious part of your meal and it will go to waste. But wait, that's just stuff your mum worried about when you were a kid, right? Go ahead, eat your dessert first, who cares. If anything it will only stimulate your tastebuds and get your saliva flowing in preparation for your main. That's right, you heard it here first, dessert is the perfect appetiser, just the thing to whet the appetite before the satisfaction of the main course.

When it comes to must-read blogs you could choose ones focused on politics, or the environment, or industry. You could seek out fact-happy blogs about history, and get the latest statistics about science. Or you could read blogs about all of those things at Cracked.com. 

Last week I was sitting in a sales meeting discussing the benefits of blogging to a potential new client. After a moment's silence he said, "my biggest challenge is finding something to write about." This can go both ways, people can either a) not have enough material, or b) have too much. Hopefully this post will help you find something to write about.
