Drawing a blank on blog content? With the help of a post found on\u00a0Quora<\/a>, here are three quick questions to ask yourself about what your audience wants to read and share and\u00a0six\u00a0tools to help you along the way to a great blog post.<\/p>\n

\"Blank<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Who is your target audience and what content are they consuming?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The best way to find out what sort of content your audience wants is to interact with your audience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Closely observe what sort of questions they ask and\u00a0what sort of answers they respond to.<\/p>\n

Or, be bold. Ask them what content they want, need or\u00a0wish they had access to.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

FREE tools:<\/strong> Twitter, Quora, Google Analytics<\/p>\n

Paid Tool (with a free<\/em> trial period):<\/strong> Simply Measured<\/a> –\u00a0Determine what your target audience is talking about on social so you can join the conversation.<\/p>\n

2. What are your competitors posting?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What other blogs target the same audience as you and what are they writing about? Look at the top posts on those blogs to get an idea of what your audience likes to read, then write more advanced posts on those same topics.<\/p>\n

3. What content is trending?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
