[box type=”spacer”]Tutorial Blog Posts[/box]

Tutorial type of blog posts are often similar to the “how to” type of blog post.

But in the tutorial sometimes you can get information which includes a video showing you how to do something.

Most times in a tutorial blog post you have to get physical in doing something on your blog, or whatever the case may be.

Your blog readers may gravitate towards your tutorial blog posts if they are well written with information that is very beneficial.

[box type=”spacer”]Video Posts[/box]

We all know that content is the key to a great blog and in order to have contents on our blog then writing is what is needed to make it work.

Sometimes our blog readers want to see our faces and getting in front of the camera and doing a video post can really work wonders.

Not all the time our blog readers want to read. So making a video and posting it so that your blog readers can get information straight from you can make them really appreciate your blog.

Some persons, including me, are shy to do a video post because we wonder about our personal appearance.

We shouldn’t be shy of our blog readers.

We want to become friendly with them and let them know who you really are.

Doing videos shines new light to your blog and also helps to breathe life into your blog.

So if you plan on doing a video, this is the time to pick up the camera and start posting videos for your blog readers.

[box type=”spacer”]Infographic Blog Posts[/box]

Infographic is information given in a visual format with the use of words and pictures.

Infographic is shortened for information graphics.

Hence this is self-explanatory, information in a graphical format.

Infographics are a fun and quick way to learn about a topic without a ton of heavy reading.

Just like the point made above with the video post that people would love to take a break at times from reading and listen to you in a video, they would also do the same with an infographic and look at the pictures.

Infographics does well when the pictures are funny and the information is something that is worth reading.

[box type=”spacer”]Review Blog Posts[/box]

People are always searching for reviews on a particular movie, on an eBook, on a product, on a program or whatever it is that can be reviewed.

This is because normally people want information on something before they purchase it, so getting a review is a great way to go.

If your blog has reviews with information for products that people want then you can use this as a money making opportunity.

If you do affiliate marketing on your blog and there is a hot product on the web that can make blogging much easier, having a great review with your affiliate links can help you to make a few bucks marketing this product.

It is great when the review is genuine as well. Try to be honest and write about the pros or cons of this product if there is any.

You can also make money writing reviews for products, companies or businesses.

If you haven’t done any reviews as yet, you need to try because you can get traffic to these type of blog posts and also make money at the same time.

[box type=”spacer”]Contest Posts[/box]

Another type of post which blog readers always gravitate towards is contest posts.

Launching a contest on your blog can help to make your blog popular and also help yo increase your subscribers list.

If you launch a contest on your blog then make sure that the prize is worth it to enter the contest. Most people go for contest with cash prizes.
