    I am bit confuse about your post. I think you are looking for ideas for writing blog articles.
    1. Answer Common Questions. Ask your customer service or sales teams what they get asked on a regular basis and make a frequently asked questions list. Put together a blog post on each of these questions. If you want to get creative, then shoot a short video of someone answering each question to compliment your blog article.

    2. Create a “How to” List. Think about what your business specializes in and brainstorm some topics that can be made into tutorials on how to do something. You shouldn’t be focusing on how to only promote your product or service, but rather how to help someone. If your product or service naturally fits into that solution, then definitely be sure to mention it, but don’t make it a sales article.

    3. Create a Tip Sheet. Like a “How to” list, a tip sheet should be a list of things that may solve a problem that your audience may have. There are some really effective tip sheet articles that showcase over 100 tips, but we recommend starting with something that won’t overwhelm you by focusing on quantities less than 20. Keep your tips as concise as possible so your blog article doesn’t get too wordy.

    4. Create a “Top” List. Can you tell we love lists? One of our favorite, and most effective article ideas is a “Top [10]” list. The number is arbitrary, but think about some products, services, influencers, and even competitors, that are relevant to your business and put them in a Top [10] list. Make sure to link to any other website you mention to establish credibility (and good karma) and to possibly pick up some reciprocal backlinks (yes, this is link building).

    5. Interview a Customer. If you have a reputable company that provides a great product or service, then you should have a good number of customers that would love to talk about you. On top of that some people just love to talk about themselves or their experiences. Use these opportunities to interview a few customers and use their responses to craft a blog article. Supplement the article with a video or audio recording for even more credibility.

    6. Share Some Data. If you’re constantly collecting data about your customers, services, sales, support (hopefully you are), then you’re sitting on a gold mine of information to use for multiple blog articles. Thinking about who your target readers are, select some of your data and put together a blog article talking about 3-4 of your main data points that are relevant to them. Try to accompany this data with some simple graphs or charts to liven things up.

    7. Talk About Relevant News. You’re not going to find lower hanging fruit than relevant industry news. Subscribe to industry blogs and trade journals, setup some Google Alerts or save some Twitter searches to stay on top of the latest news about your industry. Pick a few articles, summarize them (don’t copy and paste them) and share your take and additional insights. If you can’t break the news, then providing a unique, helpful take on it will boost your authority.

    8. Scour Some Social Sites. If you’re still running dry after the 7 ideas provided above, then it’s time to tap the seemingly bottomless well of ideas from popular social sites. Sites like Quora, Yahoo Answers and LinkedIn Answers already have thousands of Q&A threads going. Search these sites for discussions specific to your product, service and/or industry and you’ll be sure to find something you can write about in your own words.
