Listen, one of the things that has become startlingly apparent to me after multiple years in ecommerce, is just how important it is to have a solid content marketing strategy.
That’s why in this post I’m going to share with you 47 blog post ideas so that you never to need to be short of inspiration again.
But it get’s better.
This isn’t just a boring list, no.
This list of blog post ideas for online store owners has been broken down into different post types designed to inform, educate and inspire your ideal customers. And because I’m a visual learner I’ve also filled this resource lots of examples.
You’ll find a key beside each blog post idea which lets you know which marketing channel I recommend for this idea, and my personal order of importance. But remember, many of these ideas can be repurposed into a number of formats. Do this if you think it’s relevant to you.
