Every blogger gets tempted to copy another blogs post format. It’s natural and happens often. No one blog or blogger has a particular way of formatting their content. In fact, there isn’t much uniqueness to anyone’s content other than the actual information. The rest is fair game. So if you’re new to blogging or you just want some new ways to present your content, continue reading.The List of Best Things
This type of blog post is a lot like reviewing something. A lot of people don’t have the time to try and research every possible option. The next best thing is to have a pre-ready list of services or products that will help out your reader. This can also bring you some nice contacts from owners and companies that serve these products. Expect emails thanking you or blog post comments from business operators if you have a solid foot hold in the industry of your blog.
The Resource List
Everyone needs resources and tools. So why not make a list that offers it to them? The best resources you can offer are free ones. You can also list paid ones if you feel that they are worth your readers money. However, I wouldn’t list paid products or services that you personally haven’t tried -especially if you have a good reputation for being reliable.
Showcases
The internet is large and vast giving your average reader too much for too little of time. Showcasing other’s work and skills is a good way to get your readers inspired. There is nothing like seeing other people’s success to fuel your ambition.
Short Tutorials
Quick and simple tutorials for any type of product, service, or niche related to your blog is applauded. I haven’t seen many blogs not offer tutorials on one or two things related to their subject. Why not be the first to offer it in yours? You can even take it a step further and create a video tutorial for the topic rather than a written one.
Answering
Start answering people’s questions and show off. If you feel like you know enough about your subject to help others, then do so! I would hope that you do if you own a blog about it. . . Nothing helps you more than being able to help others. It creates a trusting relationship. You know the answers and they come to you for help. That’s the best type of blog you can have.
