Well, it’s not supposed to be just a blog, with all the new blogs poppin’ up these days, blogging has evolved to a whole new level now, if you don’t have something unique along side the blog, you won’t make it in the blogging industry.
Almost every popular blog has that something unique on it, that makes visitors coming back for more everyday, this can be anything from services, tools, resources or just free stuff, as for mine, I try to do just about everything here, services, tools, resources and free stuff, there is absolutely no limit to what you can add on to your blog, the more the better, along with good content if you have some of these tihngs you have alot more user interaction on the site itself rather then just with the content, as far as I know this is how authority is defined, having good info on a topic as well as the resoruces to back it up.
If you have a blog in a niche which doesn’t exactly have any resources then you have to get creative with it, this can even be a photo gallery or video gallery. As long as you are covering every aspect of the niche, you will end up successful or atleast moderately rich.
Here are my basics of a good money making blog:
- Good content
Not just articles on more information on the niche but comparisons, reviews and how-to’s as well as interviews or reviews or other competitors in the niche helps alot. - Resources
Getting some free resources is hard for any niche out there but if you can pull it off then you will definitely have a noticable increase in your traffic/interaction. - Uniqueness
Uniqueness is not defined by a unique theme but by either content or resources you offer that no body else does, this could be anything, even a weekly article that gives a new perspective on the niche, a weekly digest in other words. - Ebooks and Tutorials
Well Ebooks are really hard to sell in my opinion but they are GREAT for promotion, if you give them away for free that is, like a little taster for your blog in other words. Free unique ebooks and tutorials are a great asset to any blog.
The above described points are just a summary to unique blogging, I will be posting a new tutorial
