Are you sometimes tired or just lack the time to write and post a new blog article or web content? Remember: content is about value, not a specific platform. No matter what you post – news, tips, or entertainment – the only thing that matters is that you are adding value for your visitors.
.
No time to write? No problem! 15 Ideas:
There are so many ways to create interesting content for your blog or website which can be created with little to no writing:
- Videos: your own or links to attractive ones
- Podcast: podcasts are oral blog posts or discussions
- Re-blogging: Introduce & link great blogs in a couple of sentences
- Slide-Shares: blog posts can easily be adapted into a presentation
- Photos: Add a sentence or two to explain the image
- Short reviews: accompanied by a large image
- Invite guest posts: Establish guidelines – but allow 2 writer links
- Info-Graphics: use services of Easel.ly, PiktoChart or Visual.ly
- Best-Lists: top links for a particular subject with a blurb or image
- Snippets from your own books: nothing easier than this!
- Polls / Surveys: use services, e.g. SurveyMonkey and PollDaddy
- Audio Interview: a phone or Skype conversation, released in MP3
- Quotes: compile a list of remarkable quotes from people in your niche
- Curating blog articles: expertly selected, 3-party, curated content
- Re-writing your older blogs: Updating & editing former blog
.
Post Regularly!
Static websites don’t attract many new clients or customers. However, a regularly updated blog can produce a constant stream of new readers from all around the world. When readers sign up they expect to be able to read new content from you at least once or (even better) twice a week.
.
What Else Shall I Blog You Ask?
Start with what you have already written: tiny snippets of your book, added by research findings you found before writing. For example, you wrote a scene in your novel. Explain your readers more about the place, the time, weather, landscape or history that are involved in the story.
.
Learn to Write for the Web
Web visitors are not reading, they are scanning text. Learn how to write for the web: lots of bullets, headlines, sub-headings, images and using the “inverted pyramid”, explained in this blog article.
Write interesting page titles that grab the attention, structure your text and write summaries at the end of each chapter. Readers spend more time on pages with valuable information, structured and easy to read content – and lots of links.
.
Let Your Content Go Viral
There is so much you can do to let your articles and blogs go viral on the Internet. It takes a little bit of effort, but the results in a couple of months will be rewarding. And as longer and more often you are blogging, as easier it gets. As Robert Kiyosaki (author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad) said: “The richest people in the world build networks. Everyone else looks for work.”
