What Format of Content Should I Write For My Blog?

This is a common question – people are simply not sure if they should write a ton of blog post or what to write?

Here is the three type of content strategy you should have when writing a blog – especially when starting a new one:

* Normal blogs (listicles) – sure, news, updates, trends in the market and showing you are a thought leader in the industry. Listicles also fit in here, (top 10 ____ services)
* How To guides – as you could imagine, this is a hot piece of content. People searching Google (most likely your target source of traffic) are looking for “how to do something” (learning, education). And you can provide them this step by step guide for your core products or services. This will get that targeted traffic to your site, where you can build a long term relationship.
* Hero content (cornerstone content) – this is the stuff you are investing tons of time and resources into. Here at Mike’s Blog – we are working to build out and grow the “How to Blog” post as much as we can so that is our cornerstone post.

What is the balance of those above? Of course normal blogs is your ongoing content, depending on the difficulty (competitiveness) in the industry you are going for, weekly is normally more than enough. When you start your site – or are re-building it – you want to look at your key pieces of content and make some how to tutorials that would be the most relevant for your site. And the big investment will be on that “hero” (cornerstone) content where you are really focusing in on targeting your key avatar (target persona).
