20 Ideas For Content That Create Buzz


Social Business Today, is now just a tiny 2 days old, and we're already posting some fantastic content into the site.  I've been meaning to write so much of this down over the last few months that this is really a great outlet for me to provide lots of valuable resources for 2 reasons.  One, for you! and Two for me! 

So, here are 20 ideas for content within your blog or site that can generate interest and buzz.  Some are simple, some you'll know - but it's a good reminder, and good practice to be reminded of good things!

1) Share good ideas!
2) Give away secrets and tips to help others become more effective.
3) Make your information real.  Include examples and real life occurrences - people learn in different ways.
4) Keep up to date with future trends and technology and talk about YOUR perspective.
5) Be Visual, include video, photos, images and drawings if needed.

6) Write something that is unusual or unexpected but is still relevant to your business.
7) Start a series.  Write a series of blogs and content to keep people interested and coming back for more.
8) Answer questions from readers, comments or customers.
9) Make a list of tips that your customers have found useful from using your product or service.
10) Include guest posts from people you admire or up and coming writers.

11) Ask really good questions.
12) Allow your readers to suggest content creation and future blog posts.
13) Package your best content so it is available in other formats.
14) Lead the news in your industry.  Write about it, break it and enjoy it.
15) Give people a tutorial (video/images or just text) on how to do something new.

16) Think differently - and push yourself to write differently about your content and your subject.
17) Find new angles to current stories.
18) Provide your content (through widgets) for other people to include on their sites.
19) Talk to people on Twitter.  Don't just feed content across twitter, engage in conversations.
20) Make your passion breathe through your content.
