Quick Tip For Coming Up With Blog Ideas

A quick tip on coming up with relevant blog content: answer the questions people are too embarrassed to ask.

Brides, grooms, and wedding guests will turn to Google first before they ask a friend a question they assume they should already know.

What is a wedding cocktail hour? Which side of the suit does the boutonniere get pinned on? Do I have to bring a gift to an engagement party? What's an F-Stop and do I even need to care?

If you can prevent people from feeling ignorant, you will have loyal readers.

Great idea, I have lost count of how many times on a wedding day I have been asked which side the boutonniere should be pinned on.

Love this! Sometimes I don't think about topics like this, but you're right, the b&g will most likely appreciate these tidbits of knowledge :)

What a great idea! I usually try to write down all the questions brides ask me at our shop so I can address them on the blog.

Short & sweet, yet so informative. Thanks for the tip Liene! I find myself struggling with finding topics to write about, but hopefully this tidbit of info will bring forth some ideas.

Melissa said...

That's actually a brilliant idea. Also will keep them off the chat rooms and direct to your site {one can hope right?}

Oh, this is such great advice, Liene! I don't know how many times I need to know the answer to a stupid question but am embarrassed to ask it. Simple but awesome advice!
