Just got done reading an excellent post by Skellie entitled “5 Content Strategies That Top Bloggers Use + 3 Things That Set Them Apart”
It is an excellent run down on the types of posts and content development strategies the top bloggers use. I especially like the pros and cons of each.
My take, and personal preference, is to use all 5. Or, at least, I like to see myself doing all 5 consistently. Depending on how busy I get with other things, you can tell I’m in a hurry when you see a week’s worth of short posts in a row.
Understanding what different types of posts and editorial guidelines different pro bloggers use can go a long way in developing your own rules for your blog content.
Maybe “What type of blogger are you?” is the wrong question. Maybe it should be “What type of blogger have you been lately?” And is that what you pictured when you started your blog or is it what you’ve fallen into the habit of doing?

Lately I’ve been a review/affiliate blogger. It didn’t come on purpose, the latest blog posts have been promoting the DNA launch tomorrow. My blog has become a blog about getting more money to more people with more problems.
I linked back the post in the comment. This local initiative really does have effects on the money of a lot of people on both sides. That’s what I chose to blog about because that’s what resonates with the conversation I want on my blog.
Finding a voice is really helpful, I think, because once that’s decided, the conversation can take you through the various “kinds of bloggers” and you’ll find yourself making all types of posts according to the conversation.
Everyday blogger for me. It is my income.
