WordPress Tip of the Day #0043

Title: Create a List Post

Most of the top visited blog posts are list posts, people love to see top 10, top 20, even top 100 type posts. It could be about the top XX ways to do something, or the XX best of something.

People love the lists because it’s usually easier and quicker to go through than an actual post full of writing.

For great reasons to make a list post, or to know about the different types and to see some examples, check out Day #2 of the 31 days to be a better blogger over at ProBlogger where they tell you all you need to know about list posts.

Title: Make Less Posts

This may not apply to all, but sometimes it’s better to take more time to concentrate on making a quality post than making a lot of quick posts. Another thing that may be better is to spend more time marketing your good posts than just posting a bunch of posts.

Throughout all my websites/blogs, I used to do about 15-20 posts a day, but now I’ve started cutting that down to 5-6 a day, and I can get in much higher quality posts and have more time for marketing.

I’ve noticed my overall visits has nearly tripled since the change, as well as my revenue which has increased by almost the same.

I have some websites where I need to post every day like this one, some I can do every other day, and some only once or twice a week, so I have made a posting schedule to make sure all sites are satisfied.

Title: Follow Up!

Last week we told you about the importance of starting conversations, well once you have done that, you have to keep following up with the people you have started the conversations with.

Basically you can ask them questions, or ask for suggestions and opinions on your posts, or websites, this will not only keep the conversation going, but keep them interested and get you some great feedback.

Whether it be on Twitter or Facebook, or by e-mail, or even in comments, make sure you follow up with everyone, this is the best way to get new contacts, customers, or even partners, and maybe even a friend or two.
