It's All in the Subject
How to Make Sure You Have a Popular Blog
Sometimes coming up with what to write
about week after week gets a bit difficult.
I Googled it and Google told me I’m far from alone on this matter and
gave me the following suggestions on how to make sure I write what people want
to read about most:
1. Lists
Everyone,
young and old, love to read a list.
According to Google just pick a subject and a number and write one. Fine.
Here is my “list” of 5 things no one will ever see or hear of me
doing: smoking, taking illegal drugs,
drinking alcohol, wearing stilettos and shopping for shoes with a smile on my
face. You heard it here first.
2. How-to
Everyone loves to
have easy-peasy directions on a variety of things. Here’s mine on how to get help with household
chores. Not that I’m recommending it,
because it’s more of a “pain” than I can describe but my simplest directions on
this subject: Get hurt. That’s it.
Once hurt those around you have either got to pitch in or forget having
clean clothes, dishes, meals (you are sensing a pattern here, right?), etc…
3. Reviews
Again, according to Google, reviews on just
about anything will have people running to your blog for no particular
reason. Here are some of the suggestions
that you could become a quasi-expert on:
Products,
other people’s websites, books, movies, music, anything to do with food and so
on…The possibilities are truly endless.
4. Photos
I’m
finding people love my photos on animals and grandkids the best. But, believe it or not, the photo of a hot
air balloon that had a “nail” in it was popular as well. Really.
5. Current Events
What's
going on in the world? Before I was lucky enough to have paying assignments I
wrote a lot of blogs that stemmed from current events. They were very thought provoking-loved
getting comments and e-mails about them.
6. Tips
We all have tips! Whether it’s your way of keeping your whites
even whiter, curing a migraine without the use of Botox or getting your picky
eater to try a “spoonful” of something other than sugar-spill the beans!
Here’s mine: When making cupcakes for birthdays, bake
sales or just because you feel like snacking on cake batter, rather than
frosting them, get some sprinkles or metallic sugar crystals and put them on
the batter before baking! They come out
looking quite special and there are no messy hands, faces, tables and chairs to
clean up.
8. Recommendations
At times all of us need suggestions on what
to wear, who to include/exclude to the next soiree, what new food find will
help whatever ails you. Not that anyone
really cares what you say-but it could get you this this trustworthy
recommendation:
MIND YOUR OWN BEEZ-WAX!
And with that last bit, I sure do hope this
turns out to be a very popular blog!
After all, I’ve included quite a few brilliant points of interest in one
compact post.
