Writing Content You think that you are in an interesting niche, one that is full of opportunity, so you continue posting, trying to engage your visitors, hoping they will leave comments and return to your blog again and again, but it is not happening.Your site has been online for a while, and you now find yourself struggling with ideas to engage your visitors. You usually write good helpful content, but you are now having too many off days and doubts, as you gradually realize that your blogging efforts amount to very little.
You are not alone with this problem, it can be a frustrating experience for many, whatever the motivation with regard to blogging it could be business or personal, but the quest for continuous engaging content does not end.
How to Write Killer Articles:
Related Blogs – Check out other blogs that are related to your niche to see what they are blogging about, just to get a few ideas rolling along.
Forums – Read the forums in your niche, often people write on forums for specific information / solutions to their problems.
Yahoo Answers – Again, as with forums, people use Yahoo Answers to seek just that – the answers to the How to, why is it so, when we should & where is it possible.
Polls – Run a survey or poll to discover what your readers are interested in, be specific in order to get the answers you are looking for.
Ask Your Readers – This is useful when you gain more and more readers. Asking questions of your current readers can be enlightening. How you do this of course depends on your niche, it can be done at the end of a post, you can ask if they need further information about the topic in question, or just ask them what they want to see and hear.
Read Comments – Always read any comments left as you will most likely get a lot of feedback via the comments section.
Google Alerts - Use this to organize and monitor an automatic stream of ideas, set it up to deliver the latest information on your niche to your email address. This is a great way to not only keep up with the latest information on your niche, but you can also check out your competitor.
To implement this you just sign up for Google Alerts and log in to set up your alerts. Then in the Search query box put in a keyword or key-phrase related to your niche. The rest you can leave at default…
Search query: Your keyword or key phrase
Result type: Everything
How often: Once a day
How many: Only the best results
Deliver to: A Feed or YourEmail@address.com I keep an email address especially for this purpose.
Enjoy!
Peace and Happy Blogging.
