If you are starting a blog to work from home and make money then you should already know that researched content is everything. A lot of people will immediately think articles, articles, and more articles. This is partly true. Blog articles will help the most in determining your search engine ranking, but let me tell you a universal truth, they can be boring.
The last thing you want is for your loyal readers to be bored. Bored readers become non-readers. Now don't get me wrong, the majority of your blog should be good researched articles, but here are some suggestions to keep a good flow of posts going that intertwine with your articles and make your blog more entertaining.
-Videos - Look at other blogs in your niche and if they post a youtube video, grab the embed code and post it also, make sure the headline is different. In addition search youtube yourself for videos in your niche.
-Infographics - People love a good infographic, you can easily find one pertaining to your niche.
-Pic of the Day - If you have a blog about making money like this one, find a picture and superimpose an inspirational quote on it. Of course if you have a sports or entertainment blog well that's easy.
-Quote of the Day - Speaking of quotes. They are perfect for a nice quick blog post.
-Link Club - Start a link club in your niche, even if other blogs don't want to participate, just inform your readers of good links once a week.
-News Snippets - There is news in virtually ever niche. I'll be writing a post in the coming days about how to write a good news snippet.
-Events - If there is an upcoming event pertaining to your niche, let your readers know about it in a short blog post.
Thanks for reading and try some of these. You may find that it's easier to have a productive blog when you aren't stuck doing the same thing constantly.
