The value of blogging is undisputed in the marketing world.

Brands that create 15 blog posts per month average 1,200 new leads per month.

But the reality is, most brands don’t create 15 blog posts per month. While 77% of businesses have a blog, 85% of those have five or fewer posts.

If you fall in this blog post anemic group, fear not. Coming up with blog ideas isn’t as hard as you might think. Below is a template for generating 27 blog ideas in 27 seconds. It relies on three common blog post types:

  1. The How-To Post (shows the reader how to do something valuable)
  2. The List Post (compiles a list of steps, tactics, or examples on a specific theme or topic)
  3. The Curated Post (compiles exemplary pieces of content)
