Are you one of the large number of people that find it difficult to get some form of content posted to your blog? Believe it or not there are people out there who have no trouble at all when it comes to updating their blog on a daily basis.
If you want to keep your blogging effective you have to have fresh content added to it on a regular basis. I’m sure you already knew that but, do you know the best ways to go about it? Below are 5 tips that will help you to get the content flowing back to your blog.
1. Write your content and save it as a ‘draft copy’. WordPress lets you save anything, that you don’t want published at that moment, as a draft copy of the post. The great thing about that is it means you can put as many posts up there as you have the time to write, and then just publish a new post from the draft posts each day. When you get the time start to fill it up with more draft posts and you’ll be ready for those days when you wouldn’t have had a chance to sit down and write anything for your blog.
2. What things are related to your niche that you can write about? You don’t have to write specifically about your topic to still remain ‘on topic’. Everything that you write about will have something that can be liked to it as a sub-niche, these sub-niches can, in turn, have sub-niches written about them too i.e. say my niche is about the TV Series ‘The Twilight Zone’ (original), a sub-niche of that could be about the fears and anxieties of the 1950′s and ’60′s that were the backdrop for some of the stories. That could lead on to the visions of the future the writers had, borne out of those anxieties, and how much of it has become fact. This could lead on to… I think you can see how this could keep evolving into things that you could use on your blogs. When you take the time to think about it, there should be no reason why you should ever run out of things to write about on your blog.
3. Give people reasons to leave comments. Sometimes just asking people to leave comments will be enough to get them to, but, if you already have a bit of a blog following, you could run a competition for people who come up with the best blog comments. All comments are new content, and new content keeps the blog fresh – you don’t always have to provide the content yourself.
4. Research the things worrying people in your niche. Forums are a great place for finding out what people interested in your niche are actually talking to each other about. If they have anything that concerns them this will be the place you’ll find out about it. The next thing would be to try to find some answer to the problems they have, and post them on your blog. Once you gain some trust on the forums, usually by adding useful information on some of the threads, you can start to let people know that you have far more comprehensive information on your blog.
5. The PLR option. Some people find it a lot easier to take content and reuse it in their own blog. That’s generally fine, so long as you have the right to use it, but one thing you need to remember is that you need to make changes to the content. The search engines are getting more sophisticated when it comes to tracking down duplicate content, so make as many changes as you can to the content you use so you don’t suddenly find the search engines de-indexing you because your posts are the same as thousands of other sites.
Stick with the five tips mentioned above and you’ll make your life a lot easier. Keep blogging on a regular basis because the more content you have out there the more people will find you and come over to visit your blog.
