Variety: that's one key to an interesting blog

There are as many types of blog posts as there are bloggers. Every blog expresses a different slant on your topic. Your readers will lose interest pretty quick if you offer the same type of blog day after day. Diversify to keep their interest.

In addition to the usual straight forward blog post, here are some of the popular formats for blog posts:

book review

product review

humor

poll or survey

contest

philosophical

photos

guest authors

how-to post

tips

demo piece

mixed media (photos/videos, etc.)

Q and A

Add a variety of formats to your blog posts to keep your readers coming back.
