King of Content?

Is Content really King?

Every time I start to think about what I’m going to blog about next I make more and more realizations about my blogging. This has become especially more true since finding out how my blogging has helped others.

And here’s a big reality check for me… there are many blogs that are simply blogging for money, and thus have to resort to PerPerPost type of blogging, which is stupid. But if you have to do it, here’s some help.

Interim posts.

Yes, put something real between all of that crap your blogging about. I’ve mentioned before that I find the PayU2Blog, and PayPerPost assignments simply spam, I’m seeing it more and more, the requests are simply garbage. but hey you get $2 for writing about hair gel who can complain about that? right , what if you blog niche is bald men, really does’t make sense, but hey it’s your blog.

So to help those who have allowed their blogs to become over run with sponsored posts, here’s some places where I like to find good content to write about:

Mashable: Very interesting! Keep yourself up to date with what’s happening in social networking.

Bloggeries: Great forum, get registered and start talking. Dig through past articles to find good food for thought.

Your local news: What’s happening in your part of the world?

Your household: Remember the good ol’ days when you blogged about your life and people were interested? What are you doing other than sponsored posts?

Politics: Next month we’ll be voting for a new President here in the US (woohoo, party time!). What are your thoughts (or lack there of) on the campaigns? Do you care who’s President and are you even registered to vote?

Blogs: There are several blogs that give me food for thought to write my own opinions on topics they bring up. The bonus: trackbacks! Not only am I learning something, gaining new content for my own blog, but getting a link back.

Seriously, I’m not trying to be an income drainer, keep taking your sponsored posts. But for heaven’s sake, bring back the content too or it won’t be long before I’m hitting my “unsubscribe” button in my feed reader to ditch your spam.

    I guess you have a dilemma if you need to post blogs but you don’t actually have a concise topic to post about and a reason to post about it?

    In my case, I have software that I use in my business and I would like others to start using this software so it helps if I post related topics regarding my software.

    I don’t personally do any paid posts like Chow for example, but I might do if the money was good ;-)

    Not sure if I posted a relevant response here or not.
