If you want to keep your Weblog fresh and inter­est­ing, then you need to post often. You can cre­ate dif­fer­ent types of posts to keep your read­ers inter­ested. This will also keep you from get­ting bored with your own Weblog. Whether blog­ging to make money directly from the Blog, or blog­ging to drive traf­fic to an Affil­i­ate prod­uct, you should keep these five types of Word­Press blog posts in mind.

1. The Review Post

Review word­press blog posts can help you to mon­e­tize your Blog. You will take a close look at a prod­uct and give a review of it. This can include an affil­i­ate link to the prod­uct. When review­ing, be sure to men­tion BOTH pos­i­tive and neg­a­tive com­ments about the prod­uct. Even if you totally loved the prod­uct, keep your study bal­anced by men­tion­ing a few things that could have been improved. Your read­ers will be glad about your hon­esty and be more likely to trust your advice.

2. The Quick Tip Post

In between your longer posts you can do a “quick tips” type of post. These are nor­mally 150–250 words. Some­times we have a lot of infor­ma­tion about our niche that we want to share but it may not be wor­thy of a full length post. In that case, post a quick tip. This should be focused on ONE key area of the niche. For exam­ple, “How to Plant a Tulip Bulb” would be a quick tip arti­cle for a gar­den­ing Blog.

3. The List Post

Blog read­ers love lists! The most pop­u­lar Blogs make good use of lists. You can cre­ate lists that fit with any topic imag­in­able. This is a great way to con­vey infor­ma­tion online because it can be eas­ily scanned by web read­ers who are “skim­mers.” You can also cre­ate lists of dif­fer­ent ways to accom­plish a goal in your niche. “10 Ways To Pre­pare Your Soil For Plant­ing” would be a great list for gardeners.

4. The Inter­view Post

Inter­views will require some prepa­ra­tion, but they are very valu­able to your Word­Press blog. Inter­view some­one in your niche and then share the results of that inter­view with your read­ers. This will not only pro­vide use­ful con­tent for your Blog, but will also bring more traf­fic. Most likely, the per­son you inter­view will also pub­lish the event on their Blog or Web­site, direct­ing traf­fic to your Word­Press blog.

5. The Instruc­tion Post

This is related to Quick Tips as you are pro­vid­ing your read­ers with valu­able infor­ma­tion. How­ever, these Instruc­tion posts will go into much more detail on a cer­tain topic. Some­times your instruc­tions can even be sep­a­rated into two or three posts or courses. Look at com­ments and ques­tions from your read­ers to find what topic would be most use­ful to your readers.

As you Word­Press blog, remem­ber that your read­ers like assort­ment. Do not always write the same type of post. Put a lit­tle vari­ety in your Word­Press blog to keep it fresh.
