If you’re an avid reader who gets most of your news online, you most likely have a specific set of blogs you check on a daily basis. My blogs of choice include Colossal, Poynter’s MediaWire Blog, The New York Times Well Blog and the Etsy Blog. Not only do these blogs cover the topics I’m most interested in (journalism, health, art and crafting), but they also cover the topics in unique, attention-grabbing ways that ensure I won’t be struggling to keep my eyes open as I scroll through the posts. These blogs and countless others (hello Gawker, Mashable and The Daily Beast) have gained prominent followings because they cover content readers are interested in and they do so in formats that are sure to attract readers to their sites and keep them there. Whether it’s a list, infographic or personal essay, these blog sites have mastered the art of creating captivating posts that garner 10 million plus (yes, you heard me right) unique monthly visitors. You may have top-notch content on your blog, but that means nothing if you aren’t presenting the information in a unique, easily digestible and fun format. Here are a few types of blogs you should be creating to ensure you’re driving traffic to your site. These are great formats to refer to not only when you have a topic in mind, but also when you need a dose of inspiration when the inevitable writer’s block strikes.
