Let’s now discuss them in detail:

1.    Lists

These are the type of articles all over the internet.

For Ex: -10 Reasons Why Everybody is Talking About Movie Avengers End Game.

             - 5 Best How-to Guides on The Internet.

            - 7 Most Funny Videos on YouTube.

             Etc.

 

In today’s world, people have very little time to sit down and read the complete article or they just don’t have the patience. So, they go through the main points and get the summary of the blog article.

 

2.    Cheat Sheets/Checklists/To-do’s

It feels great when you have completed a task and check it off in a List. There is no room for interpretation in a checklist as it is actual. It gives the readers a step-by-step breakdown of what needs to be done in order to achieve a task. Checklists and cheat sheets help your readers quickly grasp all the details which are required in order to complete a task. And your readers in return get all the valuable information.

 

3.    Interviews

Sometimes you don’t have time to write a blog article, but you need to post one urgently then it can be very beneficial for you. You can just email a list of questionnaires to your client, customer, or influencer and request them to answer them. Through this, you would get valuable content and a lot of viewers also as they would spread the content and talk about it in their network also.

 

4.    How-To Guides

These types of articles are very popular over the internet. Many famous blogs are based on this type of How-to article. Many people are searching for solutions to their problems like how to play golf, how to use Gmail, etc. These types of articles help people a lot and the more you help people the more they come to your blog. And in return increase the viewership of your blog.

 

5.    Infographics

When infographics are present on your blog it looks good and is more entertaining to your viewers. It is a visual representation of information and can be very informative and easy to digest. It helps in increasing the odds of getting more backlinks to your site. It can be images, diagrams, charts, etc. to convey a message.

 

6.    Controversial Posts

If you want interaction with your readers then this type of blog article can be very beneficial for you. These types of posts go viral very easily and bring a lot of visitors to your blog.

A controversial post is something that no one knows and no one expects it to go public. You can take a controversial stance on something that your readers never expect and are passionate about. It can bring a lot of negative comments and your readers can be angry also, but it would ultimately make your post viral. So, if you are ready, then go for it.

 

7.    Reviews

Sometimes as a consumer we have to buy a product but don’t know whether it’s good or not, so then we take the help of review to decide.

A review can be positive or negative as it is a survey of a whole subject by an individual or an organization.

Review of two products and then comparing it generates great interest among our readers and then it ultimately increases our views. Many blogs earn a very good amount of money by doing this.

 

8.    Guest Blogging

This type of blogging can be very beneficial for a blogger as it connects you with a new audience and provides you a wider reach. It also increases your credibility as a blogger. It increases the inbound links which are very good for your blog from the SEO point of view.

 

9.    Blog Series

Sometimes we can’t add too much information in a single blog post, it’s too big for it, therefore we need to break it into parts and create a series. In this way, your readers are more eager to know about what’s coming next and it improves your SEO also if you organically connect one post to the other.

For Example Series on getting 6 pack abs. (where you include all about nutrition, diet charts, different types of exercises, etc.)

 

10. Newsworthy Articles

Articles that are new, related to our region, industry, current information, events, etc. are newsworthy articles. These types of articles again generate great interest among the readers like controversial articles which I mentioned earlier and can go viral in seconds.

 

For Example: If something is happening in the Share Market then people related to it will be very interested in reading an article about it.
