For example, if most of your blog posts are “informational” (like Wikipedia), try these approaches:

  • Create a list. “Top 10 Reasons to ….” Lists are fairly easy to craft, are popular with readers and can be attractive to other bloggers (getting links to your blog)
  • Reviews. “Review” is a very popular google search term. People check out Google for product or service reviews before making a purchase.
  • Comparison Posts. May be similar to “review” post but compares two (or more) options.  You might compare and contrast products, services or strategies, for example. Many people seem to search Google for something like “Product Acme vs Product Beta”

Practice Marketing Strategy

If you haven’t read Seth Goodin’s book Purple Cow, you certainly should.

Being “remarkable” is what makes ideas and reputations spread across your marketplace.

People only remember the cheapest, fastest, most expensive, hardest, most lasting, most trouble free, most experienced, easiest, etc.

When you consider your strategic alternatives think about how you can position yourself in a remarkable manner.
