Blogs with the purpose to increase market share, consumer engagement, and revenue growth. You want to do this.
Take a look at these:
Many people who start blogs aren't sure what to do next.
What should weblog be about?
Below is a list of 10 types of articles, topics, and approaches that have been a massive success for bloggers in past years and will continue to be so.
1. How to Guides
Instruction manuals are something that people hate to read. Have you ever sat down with a glass or two of wine and an instruction manual for your toaster?
How do people figure out how to do stuff?
They Google it.
Wiki How was founded on the simple fact that how-to articles were popular.
It might surprise you to see what people Google.
You can only create a popular blog if you find your niche audience and cater to their needs.
2. Politics
Every election year, politics is popular. Find a topic that interests you, whether national or local and get involved in the conversation.
However, politics can be complicated. People can get very polarized about political topics, so be ready to deal with some controversy.
3. Bacon
Everyone loves bacon.
Huffington Post has an extensive archive of bacon articles. It is one of the most visited blogs online.
This is not a trend that will disappear soon. So get on board.
4. Recipes
Recipes can be a great way of attracting traffic to your site.
Every day there is a new diet trend, such as today's Whole30 or yesterday's Atkins. There are always new recipes out there.
5. Beginner guides
One hundred one beginner guides will help you convince people that you are an expert in the subject.
My beginner guides are top-rated.
Everybody has to start somewhere. Bloggers often use beginner guides to build organic search traffic. They can also be used infographics such as this one on SharePoint.
6. Ultimate guides
Experts in their fields of expertise, on the contrary, are always looking for the most reliable and authoritative guides.
However, the term "ultimate guides" is somewhat overused. There are other terms you can use if you wish, such as those from Business Casual Copywriting.
Essential Guide
Complete Guide
Uncensored Guide
The Last Guide to ____ That You Will Ever Need
Statistics are a great way to back up any informative guide.
Only use data from authoritative sources. Give credit to the source.
Your guides can be enhanced with data that will show your readers that your content is valid.
It wasn't enough to grab ideas from the air. You did your research and formed opinions based on those findings.
This strategy is something I use all the time. Before I give advice or take a position, I look for numbers to back up my claims.
Consider highlighting case studies that you have done in original research in a blog post if you are interested.
This will allow you to get traffic through organic searches and backlinks when another site uses your study for information.
A definitive guide can be a great way to get some trendy blogging done if you are an expert on a particular topic.
7. Questions frequently asked
You should be aware that answering frequently asked questions online will not stop people from asking them anyway.
However, they can be a valuable resource and are frequently featured on eCommerce websites. They are not often mentioned on blogs. FAQs are a great way to blog at any age.
Google's Knowledge Graph algorithm makes use of FAQs and questions. You might be lucky enough to get a top-ranked spot in this highly sought-after place.
8. Interviews
Industry experts are the best way to stand out from the crowd of bloggers.
Interviews can be conducted with colleagues or professionals from the industry on websites such as helpareporter.com. This will allow you to get valuable information from a professional.
You don't need to be present in the same room as your interviewee to have a conversation. You can create a list with questions that interest your audience and send it to them. The questions can also be posted via Twitter or other social media channels.
9. Stories from the heart
Although personal stories might not be as keyword-rich anchor pieces as you desire, they are still valuable additions to any website.
Sharing personal stories gives readers the chance to connect with your business on an individual level. This helps to build brand affinity.
It is an art to tell stories. This skill will make your blog posts more interesting.
A great story will rivet your readers.
It is essential to grasp the effects storytelling has on our brains.
Dopamine is released when readers feel emotional responses to your story.
This information can be used to your advantage. Stories that elicit emotion are the best.
You can choose what you want. Perhaps you want your readers to feel angry or sad while reading your posts. Some people may prefer to inspire joy, surprise, or love.
Your readers will be more inclined to read your blog if you make them feel emotions.
They'll return to the site again and again in the future.
It depends on the story and how it is written, but curiosity can generate traffic. If I saw a post saying, "How I caught a shark with a pair of jeans," I would click it to learn more.
10. Action and charity
Blog about any charitable action, event, or activism that you support.
Crowdfunding sites like IndieGoGo and GoFundMe appeal to the positive in people. Showing that you are active in these communities will help build your readership. A Change.org petition now and again can improve the brand's image.
