Writing guides could be an easy job if you have expertise in any topic. So, just make sure that you are just writing guides only if you are having expertise in anything. For example, if you think that you have expertise in, “How to start a blog”, then all you need to do is assume that your readers don’t know anything about blogging. So, start from the very basic level and write in very easy to understand language and at end of the post you can add something like, “If you loved the post, don’t forget to share it” and that should do the trick.

    Yeah, thanks buddy. That’s a really great post.
    List posts are the one that gets shared most of the times.
    The next thing that gets shared most of the times are infographics. By ignoring infographics, you are missing backlinks and Social Shares.

    To obtain maximum number of social shares one should follow ego baiting. Mentioning great brand in your blog posts, and giving them a heads up. Encouraging them to share your blog post. Imagine a great brand in your niche sharing your blog post. BAM! That’s dreamable.

    Have a great weekend.

    It is always about writing useful and informative articles which can add values to your readers knowledge and/or life. I am not a blogger at all but I am in search engine industry since quite a long time. I prefer checklist kind of articles or traditional knowledge base articles or analysis kind of articles. These types of articles are always been old gold mine. The more age they get the more benefits you gain.
    But few of your ideas are really actionable and should be followed if anybody wanna be a full-time blogger.

    I Personally think that lists post does a wonderful job and can get more likes and share specially if you promote them properly in social media sites but the most important point is to write useful content, if it’s useful for your readers then naturally you will get shares and likes

      Hi Pankaj

      Yes. Interviews get traffic & build authority too. Also, try doing expert roundups as they generate much more traffic because all the people involved in it would share and link to it. This would get you all their fans to visit your blog. Then, all you need to do is collect all those emails and update your blog with great content, so that people come back again and start loving your blog.

      Thanks For Reading
