103 On Blogging: Quality Content

This is important. If you have nothing to say, say nothing. Make sure that your content is somehow useful to others. My best interest is in practical tips & hints, so I focused on giving those. They might have been small hints like “use forum signatures” but not everybody is a professional, and you have to learn these lessons somewhere. I decided that I would focus on writing practical hints & tips for game producers (and since game producers need to know marketing, it was natural to write about it). The majority of my articles are totally unique written based on my own experience. Naturally I have news items and quotes from other blogs, but even then I try to give my personal touch when telling about them. For example: one guy (on other website, not mine) wrote an article where he listed “10 things about something”. I told about this article in my site, but instead of quoting directly I gave link to the article, wrote the sub-headlines and commented how I felt about these lessons. Like for example, let’s suppose he had said: “Lesson #3: Company X sucks because bla bla blah” then I would have written “Lesson #3: According to him Company X sucks, and I agree that Company X made a mistake in this case but I still they have good products N and M”. This way I could provide unique content and tell my own thoughts rather than just quoting directly that “one guy made INTERESTING post, read here:”. Providing value and unique content helps.

102 On Blogging: Interviews

this is another good way to get traffic. I have made some interviews with major companies in the gaming business (and I’m adding more). While this takes longer than “normal articles” these have been one key reasons that cause other sites to link to my site. Major websites are interested to hear interviews. Let’s suppose your website is about marketing. Can you get some marketing experts to give you an interview? I’m sure there’s always somebody willing to give you an interview if you briefly explain what your site is, how many visitor it gets, and how the interview would benefit the other party. You might even give some incentive (like monthly link, banner ad or money to get somebody to talk). I never given links, ad slots or money to interview people since I know that there’s people who will be glad to get interviewed. While some people have rejected my offers, I have got interviewed by some major characters in the gaming business. After you’ve got one major guy to be interviewed, it gets easier to get new interviews (since you can then mention “I’ve interviewed CEO of company X and the link to his interview is <here>” – this is almost like a testimonial for some companies).
