We all know the saying applied to blogs is
“Content, Content, Content.” And I’m
sure you will agree that we should add “Value” to that saying. By adding value (something useful and valuable
to the reader) to the content (subject matter) we are able to enhance our blogs
and enjoy a larger readership.
If we strive to be consistent then we should plan
to create posts to our blogs on a regular basis. At the very least once a week. In order to do this we must have something to
talk about (content). Where do you find
things to talk about on your blogs.
I think of blogs as inspired writings, just like
poems or short stories. So here is a
list of sites to go to for inspiration.
Alltop: Alltop is a site that
combines all the top stories from sites across the Internet.
The way I’ve related to Alltop is that they’re much like
the New York Times Bestseller List. They do the work to find good reads from
different niches and help readers find those sites by displaying them on a
single, aggregated page that lists the latest five stories on those sites. It’s
a great way to check out your interests without managing a ton of blogs and
sites.
LinkedIn Today: LinkedIn
Today, which delivers the day’s top news, tailored to you
based on what your connections and industry peers are reading and sharing. If
you only have five minutes to catch up on news, LinkedIn Today can help you cut
through all the clutter, so you can discover the top headlines you need to read
to be better informed every day.
Pinterest: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pinterest is a pinboard-style photo-sharing website that allows users to create and manage theme-based image
collections such as events, interests, and hobbies. Users can browse other
pinboards for images, "re-pin" images to their own pinboards, or
"like" photos. The site was founded by Ben
Silbermann, Paul Sciarra, and Evan Sharp. It is managed by Cold
Brew Labs and funded by a small group of entrepreneurs and investors.
Twitter: Twitter is an online social
networking service and microblogging service that enables its users to send and read
text-based messages of up to 140 characters, known as "tweets".
Twitter was created in March 2006 by Jack
Dorsey and by July, the social networking site was launched.
The service rapidly gained worldwide popularity, with over 500 million registered users as of 2012, generating over 340 million tweets
daily and handling over 1.6 billion search queries per day.
Since its launch, Twitter has become one of the ten most visited websites on
the Internet, and has been described as "the SMS of the Internet." Unregistered users can read tweets, while registered users can post
tweets through the website interface, SMS, or a range of apps for mobile devices.
Facebook: Facebook is an online social
networking service, whose name stems from the colloquial
name for the book given to students at the start
of the academic year by some university administrations in the United States to
help students get to know each other. It was founded in February 2004 by Mark
Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow Harvard
University students Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin
Moskovitz and Chris Hughes. The website's membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard
students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy
League, and Stanford University. It gradually added support for students at various other universities
before opening to high school students, and eventually to anyone aged 13 and
over. Facebook now allows any users who declare themselves to be at least 13
years old to become registered users of the site.
StumbleUpon: StumbleUpon is a
discovery engine (a form of web search engine) that finds and recommends web content to its users. Its features allow
users to discover and rate Web pages, photos, and videos that are personalized
to their tastes and interests using peer-sourcing and social-networking principles.
Google Alerts: Google Alerts is a
content change detection and notification service, offered by the search
engine company Google, that automatically notifies users when new content from news, web, blogs,
video and/or discussion groups matches a set of search terms selected by the
user and stored by the Google Alerts service. Notifications can be sent by email, as a web feed, or displayed on the users’ iGoogle page. The service is available to the general public as an open beta release.
Copyblogger: Content marketing tools, tips, and training for online
marketers, copywriters, and entrepreneurs. The advice, strategies, and
solutions that work.
Problogger: Blogging about blogging- how to monetize, attract
readers, etc.
