How to Create Great Content For Your Blog – Q&A, Part 1

Posted By Darren Rowse 5th of September 2015 General, Writing Content 0 Comments

Today’s episode of the ProBlogger podcast is a melting pot of your inquiries – really diverse topics, such as:

Should I share personal posts on my business blog?
How often should I be posting on my blog?
How do you develop compelling content?
What days of week/time of day are best to post?
How did you come to have the great writing skills that you use to blog? Did you ever get any formal training?
What have been your most effective techniques for engaging readers? What types of posts have generated lots of authentic comments from your readers?
Where do you get your ideas for content? Do you have any techniques/tips to share?

I’m sure these questions are ones that more than one person has, so I’ve given quite extensive answers to each.

You can find episode 41 of the ProBlogger Podcast “How to Create Great Content For Your Blog – Q&A” at problogger.com, along with show notes and extra reading.

I’m also planning on doing a part two to this series of Q&A podcasts, so feel free to head to the Facebook page and submit your question here.

Hi Darren,

Good lead in with the posting frequency. For me, even though I could easily publish daily but I’d be cutting into networking and promoting time. I posted every single day – many times a day – for months, but I had no time to network. I had little time to comment, to build bonds and to promote my blog. Find that niche which feels awesome. Go with a nice little mix; part writing, maybe 2-3 times weekly, and part promoting, to find your balance.

Thanks for the share! Love your Blabs, BTW ;)

I often wonder how bloggers are creating good content for your blogs? There are times when walking on the street, you see the situation and coming home to write the article and then understand what the big bloggers such situations happen more often and they write more good articles, thanks for the good article
