To blog for a hobby, one can narrow himself down to whatever he feels like
writing. But a business blogger should write about a plethora of topics
pertaining to his business. To make it all seamless and having a single
voice, here’s what one should keep in mind:
 Questions should be asked and solutions should be provided. Every good
blog contains a certain amount of questions which would keep the readers
thinking “hey! Even I had this question in mind”.
 Use available resources for natural research. Pursue the answers as if you
were the reader themselves. Search for it using keywords, look out for
Quora and see how others have answered to it. That might provide an
inspiration to work upon.
 A vision of what you’ve covered. After getting the correct amount of
inspiration, visualize how would you want it to be, which tone would you
use, how would you structure it. Conceptualize and put it into
implementation.
