When you think about making small investments for your blog, what you’re really doing is trading your time for a more streamlined solution.
Blogging is essentially a free hobby, however there are times that you might consider investing a little cash into making it the best it can be. There are free versions of tools you can use, of course, however sometimes it pays a little to upgrade your workflow.
Great post! I would have never thought about most of these options. It\’s amazing how much we have at our disposal these days, that we aren\’t accessing.
This is definitely a good one that can be easily overlooked. Sometimes we have our own two cents to the topic that can be completely different than what we normally see. Good post, Dana!
Try taking something one of your readers has commented and expand on it in a new post.
The comments on your blog posts can also lead to great content ideas.
You can email bloggers individually to see if they might be interested in contributing to your blog, or set up a page that explains your guest posting requirements.
Accepting posts from other people is another way that you can fill your site up with useful content.
The same idea can be applied to reading comments on other people’s blogs. Scan the comments for any particular questions or insight that you might not have thought of before. If people are talking about something, chances are they want to know more about it!
Reddit is a great source for content. Browsing through their many subreddits (forum categories) will supply you with endless ideas, links to articles or stories, and headlines that you may not have considered before.
Did you know that Pinterest has a Popular page which collects the most recent trending pins? Use this page to your advantage and see if anything catches your eye. You can pull ideas from here, or curate your own post full of content, which I will explain below.
Curating content is an excellent way to come up with a new post when in a hurry. It doesn’t take much time and all you need to do is collect images and/or links that you’ve found interesting. Sharing these in a way that complements your blog or your blog’s niche is all it takes.
If you plan on doing regular curated content posts, start a private Pinterest board and save any interesting links there. You can also start a bookmark folder on your computer to save any articles or cool things that you come across. This makes it super easy to put a post together at a later time as the research portion is already done!
