1. Comments:
Check your comments for ideas. Visitors often bring up topics you can expand upon, explain or even argue with. Try to choose comments that have sparked animated discussions or debates. This means that your visitors are already interested in the topic.
2. Interview:
Bring in the ‘expert’ and get their thoughts with an informative interview. It could be just 5 questions long and you could even interview them via email!
3. Define:
Plenty of technical posts are laden with jargon and broad reviews. Pick something specific and explain it.
4. News:
Give your thoughts on recent news topics related to your blog.
5. React:
Get conversations going with other bloggers. Do you disagree with another blog’s post? Think someone’s blog is pretty nifty? Give it some link love. Starting conversations with other blogs often leads to interchanging traffic. Need a starting point? Check out Blogs.com
6. Best of:
Do a “best of” blogs post. Re-list your Top 10 blog posts. Bring back the “oldies-but-goodies” for those who haven’t sifted through the archives.
7. Vote:
Start a vote! Get people involved and interacting by putting something to the test!
8. Tips and Top 10′s:
You don’t have to give away the farm to whet people’s taste buds. Content is king and it’s great to give away interesting tidbits that feed the thirst for knowledge.
9. Videos:
Quick and entertaining, you can create your own visual blog post. Most digital cameras take quick video clips.
10. Case Studies:
Doing a project? Post a photo progress report every day / week until the project is finished. Or, review with photos and explanations of the process and what’s going on.
