Five Types of Blog Posts

Are you thinking of starting a Blog? Have you got a Blog that needs freshening up?

If you want to keep your Blog fresh and interesting, then you need to post frequently. You can create different types of posts to keep your readers interested. This could also keep you from becoming bored with your own Blog. Whether blogging to earn income directly from the Blog, or blogging to push traffic to an affiliate product, you need to keep these 5 types of Blog posts in mind.

1. The Review Post

Review blog posts can help you to monetize your Blog. You may 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 certain to mention BOTH positive and negative comments about the product. Even if you completely adored the product, keep your review balanced by mentioning a couple of things that could have been improved. Your readers will appreciate your truth and be rather more likely to trust your advice.

2. The quick Tip Post

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

three. The List Post

Blog readers love lists! The most popular Blogs make excellent use of lists. You can create lists that fit with any topic imaginable. This is a way to convey information online because it can be simply scanned by web readers who are “skimmers.” you may create lists of alternate ways to do a goal in your niche. “10 ways to Prepare Your Soil For Planting” would be a great list for gardeners.

four. The Interview Post

Interviews will need some preparation, but they are terribly valuable to your Blog. Interview someone in your niche and then share the results of that interview with your readers. This will not just provide valuable content for your Blog, but will also bring more traffic. Most likely, the person you interview will also publicize the event on their Blog or web site, directing traffic to your Blog.

5. The Instruction Post

This is equivalent to Quick Tips as you are providing your readers with valuable info. these Instruction posts will go into much more detail on a certain subject. Infrequently your instructions can also be split into 2 or three posts or courses. Look at comments and questions from your readers to find what subject would be most valuable to your readers.

As you Blog, remember that your readers like variety. Do not always write the same type of post. Put a little variety in your Blog to keep it fresh.
