The kind of content you offer to your readers matters a lot. Contents can actually make or mare your blog. It is time to drop ‘copy and paste’ and be creative with your posts. If you’ve been struggling for the type of content to post on your blog, if you want more comments and readers engagement for your blog, then this post is for you.

In this post I’ve compiled 20 blog posts ideas to keep your readers engaged and boost your blog traffic. Read them below.

1. Run a contest – Running a contest is a great and effective way of getting attention and new traffic to your blog.

2. Write a review – You can write a review on movies, books, products, phones, hosting companies, etc. Reviews deliver a lot of value to your readers, and people are constantly looking for honest opinions, not the fake ones that the web is full of.

3. Host a giveaway – People love free stuff, and taking advantage of that helps you reach new audiences. It will also increase your traffic if you do it regularly.

4. Write a short story – think of something short and interesting (between 200 to 500 words). Then ask your readers for feedback.

5. Create a list post – people are lazy. They don’t want to waste time gathering information. That’s why lists are popular. You can make lists like Top10 movies that bla bla bla, Top 20 that bla bla bla.

6. Give your opinion about recent Post/News – When you write a quality blog post on hot topics, your blog can be featured on popular newspapers or blogs like a post on Nairaland was featured on Naij.com some days ago.

7. Start a poll – That’s simple. Want to know what other people prefer or think about a certain topic? Start a poll to get quick overview.

8 Write where you’d like to travel – … and encourage others to do the same in your comments. This kind of conversations usually turns out pretty big.

9. Blog about marketing secrets – Tell your readers about your top secret strategies, techniques, and tactics you use to get more followers and traffic.

10. Write a blog post in Pidgin English – Forget the well-known rules, and use the expressions you use every day. It’s a great way to make your posts more enjoyable and stand out.

11. Compile a list of common mistakes in your niche – Many people don’t know the basics and make common mistakes. Write tutorials to help them prevent these mistakes.

12. Thank your audience for following you – Show them they’re valuable and that you respect them.

13. Launch a free e-book about your best blog posts – Gather the most viewed and commented posts together and convert them into an e-book

14. Host a voting contest – Ask your readers to nominate the best blogs in your niche. This can turn into several posts since you can take thosenominations and write a “Top 100 Blogs in the Industry” post. Notify the winning blogs so that they’ll send some of their followers your way.

15. Wish yourself happy birthday – Are you entering the second year of your blog? Wish it a happy birthday, and then show readers how far you’ve come.

16. Showcase a reader – Do you have a strong relationship with some of your loyal readers? Ask one of them if you can interview him or her and post his or her responses on your blog.

17. Create a list of free eBooks – People love free stuff, so help generate some buzz by creating a long list of helpful and free eBooks in your niche.

18. Compile a list of jokes – People love to be entertained. Make them laugh with a list of jokes related to your industry.

19. Write a FAQs post – What questions do you get asked constantly, either about yourself or your niche? Create a FAQs post answering all these questions. Repost this as a page on your website so that it’s easy to find for newcomers.

20. Write a blog post about 20 blog post ideas (or more) in your niche – List down 20 blog topics in your niche; a lot of people find it useful.

.. copy ideas from other successful blogging sites like the Linda kejis' and Nairalands'. Unfortunately explicit contents sell more than any other contents these days. E.g. Cossy bares her bosom in Germany, tiwa performed without undies in oshodi, and Mr ibu was caught kissing genievive or ini edo at sheraton hotels and suites.
