Five Different “Kinds” Of Blog Posts

Blog posts come in many different forms and lengths. If you want to keep your blog fresh and interesting, you should post often. Creating different types of blog posts will help to keep your audience interested. It will also keep you from getting bored with your blog.

Blogging can be done as an adjunct to your business, to help attract customers or it can be a sideline of your business designed to generate revenue, as well as attract customers to your Home Staging enterprise.

If you are going to invest time and effort on your blog, why not use it as a profit center as well?

The five types of blog post are the

1. The INSPECTION Blog Post.
2. The INSIGHTS Blog Post.
3. The INDEX Blog Post.
4. The INTERVIEW Blog Post.
5. The INSTRUCTION Blog Post.

 

1. The INSPECTION Blog Post.

Review blog posts can help you monetize your blog. You “inspect” – take a closer look at – a product. When you review a product and include an affiliate link, you’ll make a commission off of each sale generated with your affiliate link. Review blog posts should go over some of the major plusses and minuses of the product. Even if you loved the product, you should keep your review balanced by mentioning a few things that could have been improved. Your audience will appreciate your honesty and be more likely to trust your recommendation.

What type of a product could you as a home stager comment on? How about paints, cleaning products, furniture stores, etc.

While there is no reason why you couldn't do a blog on any vendor you choose to without compensation, why not find a product that has an "Affiliate Program" and join it.

One of the easiest ways to identify such products is to join one of the major affiliate market places like Commission Junction. It's free to join, and once you do, you will be able to search from thousands of vendors to find products relevant to Home Staging that you could review and comment on.

Such recommendations, if done honestly and forthrightly will be well received by your readers, and could potentially add a new revenue source to your business. Not a bad idea to market yourself and make money at the same time.

To learn more about commission junction go to www.cj.com.

In the next couple of days I will go into more detail on this and the other four types of blog posts. By combining these ideas you can add a lot of reader interest in your blogs.

To learn more about the five types of blog posts monitor my Homestaging Business Tips Blog I will be posting the balance of my comments on this topic there over the coming week.

I've thought about inspecting my blog, but frankly I'm afraid of what I might find :)
