How do I decide what to write about so it brings in buyers and not just traffic?

Sort every topic idea by how close it sits to a purchase. Comparison pages, alternatives pages, integration pages and "how do I do X with Y" pages convert because the reader is already shopping, while top of funnel explainers build reach but rarely revenue. Build the money pages first even though they are less fun, then widen out. Take your topic list from three sources: the questions that come up on sales calls, the searches your buyers actually run, and the gaps where every existing result is thin. Treat the blog as a library rather than a magazine, meaning you keep improving the pages that matter instead of always publishing something new.
