CategoriesCategories define your blog so I recommend before you even writ your first post that you pick your categories first. Once you have chosen your categories you will without question have direction.

Tip:Most often blogs should not have more than 5.

TitlesAfter you have picked your 5 categories go ahead and create 10 blog titles each. Do not start writing yet. This step is important because if you can only thing of 2 possible titles for a category then you know that it is probably not a good category for you. At that point I recommend removing it from the list or at least setting it aside for the time being.

FrequencyBlog frequency is as important as your categories or perhaps even more so. If you came up with 5 blog categories and 10 blogs per category than you know that you have about 50 blog post in front of you before you must brain storm again.

However, if you put them out 5 days a week you will be out of content in 10 weeks.

Consider your time and your audience. How much time do you have? How often would your audience want to read your topic?
