I was just checking out Sodeve, a blog I had never gone to before. An interesting read overall. He had an excellent list of types of blog posts, which I will quote here. That would make this post a #2, ‘The Quoter’ variety.
1. The SpeedLinker
This is where you gather links to something interesting in other blogs.
2. The Quoter
This is when you saw other people saying good things in their blog and you rewrite it in your own blog.
3. The Entertainer
This is where you entertain your readers by putting hilarious video from Youtube.com
4. The Questioner
This is where you ask your readers a question to start a discussion. You definitely need readers to begin with
5. The Updater
This is where you inform your readers regarding the progress of an ongoing project. It could be report on your own project/blog
6. The Newsreader
This is where you share interesting news you get from press release or newspaper
7. The Recycler
This is where you put your old post as new, with additional update of course
8. The Guest Poster
This is where you let someone else creating post in your blog.
9. The Announcer
This is where you announce something to your readers. DOH!
This is a great list of ideas for those of us who need a startup. I use many of these ideas myself. But there is one type of post that is missing from this list, and it’s my favorite one! We need :
10. Create new, interesting content from scratch.
It might be rare, but it sure is worth it in my opinion. For an example, check out Captain Picard’s Journal. Now here is some original stuff! I bet you never saw that on episodes of Star Trek! And I had always thought they just parked the ship in spacedock when the show was done……
