  2. Create a series about your product/service.
  3. Write educational, how-to tips and articles.
  4. Interview a customer (or member, or fan).

  6. Share some behind-the-scenes information about your company or product.
  7. Promote thought leadership articles.
  8. Share company successes and awards.
  9. Repurpose content from a seminar.

These are good tips, and a good reminder to me as someone who writes a monthly e-newsletter. Industry news is also a good one. People want to know what's going on. And, as you demonstrated in this post, numbered-list articles are great. They're usually easy to write and a quick read.
