This list is more than enough to keep you

busy for the whole year.

#1 Run a contestRight now Im

running ablog contest(currently not

available) and all I can say is that it

gives great attention and new traffic to

your blog.

#2 Review books/products/films

Reviews deliver a lot of value to your

followers and people are constantlylooking for honest opinions, not the fake

ones that the web is full of.

#3 Make comprehensive

guide/tutorialIf youre a professional

in a field or know some topics extra

less skills and experience than you do.

Tutorials and guides help people a lot.

Im an experienced blogger, so I teachothers how to start and maintain a blog.

#4 Interview someoneKnow any

famous or people who have great stories

behind their work/life/career? Interviews

are extremely popular in two cases: a)

person who speaks very rarely in public

or b) shares rally useful and practicaltips and content.

complicated data and theyre hugely

popular these days. As always, when

something becomes mainstream, the

overall quality is poor. So, if youre not

a designer, hire one to get a viral

infographic that stands out of the crowd.

#6 Criticize a website/blog or a

personThe web and blogs are great

for discussion, opinions and criticizing.

Nevertheless, if you are brave enough to

say some crispy words about someone,

make sure your text has strong

arguments and is based on real facts.

Random ranting is pointless.

#7 Make a post full of GIFsGIFs are

the symbol of online entertainment and

humor. There are thousands of GIFs and

generators that help to produce new

ones. See example: Linkbuilding in

GIFs

while, publish the best or worst

experiences youve had in certaincountries/airline companies etc.

carnivals and linky partiesare becoming

very popular.

of spam blog comments as

well. Heres a tutorial.

blog will most probably be featured on

major newspapers and websites.

#24 Make a full case study about

somethingWe covered tutorials

already, but case studies reveal what and

how youve done and which are the

results. This is extremely interesting for

many folks, especially for me.

#25 Share your favorite blogs/bloggers

in one postIts a bit similar to Makea list idea but sharing the blogs and

bloggers you follow is never a bad idea.

Give the resources to your readers,

believe me, they are grateful and wont

stop following you.


12/37

Pat Flynn has done that, why dont you?

forward, humor never gets old and great

jokes are really entertaining.

of well-known things that actually are

not true, in other words theyre called

myths. Take some time and do some

research to disprove some of them..If

your follower love it, feel free to become

a MythBuster.

and can be the first step to the world forartists. So publish your paintings,

comics, graphical design masterpieces

and other stuff as well.

and epic failuresBeing successful

means doing mistakes or in other words

failing. But failing is not bad, its a

learning experience to be better the nexttime. So, thats the reason why you

should talk publicly about your success

and failures, to let others learn from it.

15/37

posts is important but sometimes people

write a post for that.

know what other people prefer or think

about a certain topic, start a poll to get

quick overview.

regret doing/not doingWhen you surf

around Quora or Yahoo Answers, youllfind many very popular topics and posts

about the things people regret doing and

factsThe internet and different

encyclopedias are full of facts, some of

them are really random. For example

they eat?

car(s), house, accessoriesThis is
