Stephen - I am somewhat new to Boston, so I do not know much about the political scene here. I did get myself started yesterday and will have to check your blog out for ideas. Thanks for the advice!
Yifei - I interviewed at HubSpot! They are one reason I am starting a blog. Good luck with your effort - it looks great so far. Thanks for your wise words!

You said you are somewhat new to Boston, you could write about new areas you discover and like to spend time at, compare Boston to where you prevously lived, or just general observations about the world around you. While this might not seem ideal, I think it would be an interesting read and it might come easy to ou as I am sure you have formed some opinions about your newer surroundings.

Teaching people something always helps. I'm a sales rep at HubSpot, but passionate about inbound marketing and sports. My personal blog http://rbeale.com is about inbound marketing/internet marketing and sports. Good Luck! -Ryan 123 weeks ago

Looking at internet marketing positions around Boston - I seem to have all of the qualifications aside from blogging experience. Guess I should get on that! The question is: what to write about?

Teach people something you know whether it's meditation, marketing or studying tips.
I'd personally recommend against blogging about a heated political race. In my experience (I've lived in Boston 7 years), people are especially passionate about politics around here and maybe that's not the safest route when you're just trying to establish yourself.
Good Luck.

I am happy to stay away from that! 123 weeks ago
