Want some new ways to create great content for your blog? Coming right up…
From Andrew Chen’s Tim Ferriss-like “Twitter then post” technique to Pushing Social’s great guide to getting content with absolutely minimal time investment, here are some left-field ways to feed the content monster:
- Andrew Chen’s always good for out-of-the-box thinking – and today he’s describing an excellent way to use Twitter to check if your content will be successful before you write it – “Unfortunately, writing a blog post often takes a long time – an hour or more. Use this technique to make it safer to spend more time, think more deeply, and research more broadly on you write.”
- Is there a better way to turn content into money? Copyblogger’s guest post from Joel Friedlander today suggests that you might want to look at your blog as the feeding ground for a virtual publishing empire – “This is the dirty little secret behind self-publishing that we’ve been hiding from the big publishers for years: if you’re a writer with ready access to a niche audience, you’re probably much better off financially publishing your own book.”
- And Lukas Pleva at Pushing Social explains the apparently impossible in a usefully specific post – how to get content for your blog when you don’t have the time to write it – “I’ve successfully hired freelancers from project postings on Guru.com, but here’s a word of caution: always do your research. There’s a lot of noise, and too many stories of people getting ripped off. If I was ever looking to hire guest bloggers, I’d pay the $50 for a ProBlogger posting. As the common saying goes, you get what you pay for.”
