Are You Thinking Of Starting A Weblog? Do You Have A Blog That Needs Freshening Up?

wordpress-logoIf you want to keep your WordPress blog fresh and interesting, then you need to post often. You can create different types of posts to keep your readers attracted. This will also keep you from getting bored with your own Blog. Whether blogging to make money directly from the WordPress blog, or blogging to drive traffic to an Affiliate product, you should keep the following 5 types of Blog posts in mind.

1. The Review Post

Reviewing WordPress blog posts can help you to monetize your WordPress blog. You will take a close look at a product and give a review of it. This can include an affiliate link to the product. When reviewing, be sure to mention BOTH positive and negative comments about the product. Even if you totally loved the product, keep your review balanced by mentioning a few things that could have been improved. Your readers will be pleased about your honesty and be more likely to trust your advice.

2. The Quick Tip Post

In between your longer posts you can do a “quick tips” type of post. These are normally 150-250 words. Sometimes we have a lot of information about our niche that we want to share but it may not be creditable of a full length post. In that case, post a quick tip. This should be focused on ONE key area of the niche. For example, “How to Plant a Tulip Bulb” would be a quick tip article for a gardening Weblog.

3. The List Post

WordPress blog readers love lists! The most popular Blogs make good use of lists. You can create lists that fit with any topic imaginable. This is a great way to convey information online because it can be easily scanned by web readers who are “skimmers.” You can also create lists of different ways to accomplish a goal in your niche. “10 Ways To Prepare Your Soil For Planting” would be a great list for gardeners.

4. The Interview Post

Interviews will require some preparation, but they are very valuable to your WordPress blog. Interview someone in your niche and then share the results of that interview with your readers. This will not only provide useful content for your WordPress blog, but will also bring more traffic. Most likely, the person you interview will also publicize the event on their Blog or Website, directing traffic to your Blog.

5. The Instruction Post

This is comparable to Quick Tips as you are providing your readers with valuable information. However, these Instruction posts will go into much more detail on a certain topic. Sometimes your instructions can even be divided into two or three posts or courses. Look at comments and questions from your readers to find what topic would be most constructive to your readers.

As you Weblog, remember that your readers like diversity. Do not always write the same type of post. Put a little variety in your Blog to keep it fresh. If your going to do any type of Internet marketing then you need to have a WordPress blog. Global Virtual Opportunities (GVO) is one of the best out there for hosting all your blogs and getting excellent Internet marketing tools.

    I think the list post takes a bit of research. At least, that’s the way it is with me, with most topics. I feel like I have to give some credibility to it by establishing the “topness” by popularity or some other objective measurement

    Whatever you want to write it is always best to do further research and at least verify your sources. Readers become fully dependent on what they read that when they realized what you said is wrong they would take it against you. Always do research and you can never be wrong. Nice blogging!

    Someone told me that Google like post that is not less than 500 words. I think quick tips type of post which is between 150-250 words, is not too short…

      150-250 words are certainly not too short as you find that these posts also get indexed by google. however, this does not take anything away from the importance of longer posts.

        Google indexes posts <150 words also. It all depends on the post and relevance to your site. If you have a computer site and write a 50 word post about trees, Google will not treat it the same.

        Quick tip posts are great though. I use them often.

        Great blog!

    Hey, thanks for posting this. I’ve been reading a lot of blogs lately and I’m tempted to start one of my own but I’m not really sure what to write about. It’s nice to have a guideline of how to go about it.

    I think it’s very important to study other blogs before you start and as you go along. It’s okay to get in touch with these blog owners and ask them questions. You need to study what is already successful.
