10 Suggestions for Easy Contents
It is Sunday in Malaysia and it is a day for all of us to slow down a bit. I know it is time consuming and energy consuming if I ask you to write a quality article daily. How did I manage to survive for so long since I am posting daily basis right from day one? Sometimes there are simple things to build up a post other than thinking hard of what to write. Let us see what I have prepared for you to post today.
Video Commentary
You have sites like Youtube, Metacafe and Google Video. Spend some of your time surfing the sites, dig out a video or two which is related to your niche and share it with your readers. If you want to make things a little hard for you, you can write out the synopsis of the video such as the agenda of an interview.
Link Attacks
I have seen many bloggers doing this but they just post mere links in the post. I think going an extra mile by writing out thoughts (just one line or two) about the recommended articles will make the post more attracting for readers to click it. An example of a good link attack can be seen at Doshy Link Attack! by Maki.
Review a Blog
Are you asking me to review something which I will not be paid? Well, I don’t think you will not get anything in return. When you dedicate a post for a blog, you will definitely get the attention of the blogger (at least I will, review me!). Also, by reviewing the blog, you can add another review under your portfolio of Reviews to show off your reviewing skills if you are doing direct sales of ad review so even though it is free, do it wholeheartedly.
Event Photos
People don’t want to sit in front of the computer during weekends because they are lazy and it is during weekends that you will have different types of events going on in your community. Check your daily newspapers and mark on your calendar where you will be going if you feel tired or lazy. If it is something related to your blog, just post up a series of photos like the BlogWorld and New Media Expo held in Las Vegas.
Anticipation Post
Post up a simple list to tell your visitors of what to expect in the coming days. Remind them to subscribe to your RSS Feed so that they will not miss out anything. You are not bounded to post exactly the same what you have promised so make your promise as attractive as possible. The limit is don’t bluff with something lame like “I will be giving away $2500!” because no one will believe it, especially after the Ashwin Khanna case.
Weekly Roundup
Check your stats, post the numbers and compare it with the previous periods and what you have been expecting. This is quite normal in the blogosphere but I don’t recommended small bloggers to do this, it will make your blog looks bad. Small bloggers can try posting up the best articles that they have written for the week to ‘stickify’ your blog.
Questions or Polls
Start a question or poll on weekends for one week. Announce it with a post and your job for the day is done. People will be voting or answering. Then, on the next weekend you will be posting about the results that have been compiled and some brief analysis. No heavy thinking!
Plugin or Widget Recommendation
There’s so much plugin in Wordpress plugin database and even you have managed to finish reviewing all of them, you still have thousands of widgets out there craving for your attention. Reviewing and recommending these little things to your readers will still add value to your contents so no worries!
Dugg News
Digg is a place where I always find funny and great news. Blog about them and gives your visitors a laugh. It is simple to write about this news and at the same time, you are lifting the pressure off your visitors after so many niche articles.
Sponsored Posts
Do I need to elaborate more? You will only need 150 words to make $6. Go and make our bucks! Write sponsored posts during weekends since it won’t affect your blog performance too much. Traffic will normally drops during weekends so post them during weekends and make money!
I don’t understand why I still need to finish a marathon of 10 items even on a Sunday. 
Anyway, tell me what you will post when you are lazy. Share with me as well what is the effect that it has caused on your traffic. I do come across bloggers that are willing to take the risk of posting one sentence post like “I WILL BE BACK!”
Like what you said, when I am busy or lazy, I post short, lame sentences, probably less then 50 words post. But I don’t know why, such posts attracts equal attention as the long posts. Is it because people love me being lame? Lolz
Actually i don’t care I make a short post or not but the main thing is I will make at least a post a day. Since I got accepted in some sponsored post network, maybe I will start making sponsored post on weekend. But not too much lahh…just enough to earn some moonney
@ yung .
Maybe I should say. I always say that blogs can either have contents, style or just good marketing done by the bloggers himself.
@ dott-com
No, don’t go the wrong way.
A quality post can be long or short. Don’t set your primary target at a post a day, it should be something like a quality post a day.
I was so displine last time, only write paid post during weekend. But now I can’t resist the offers and just write about it… Do you think I got penalized by Google?
Sometime difficult to find articles to write I just cincai post, but who knows got a lot of feedback! Haha…
Do you have recommendations for me?
I found Wayne always post long articles regarding reminding blogging to post quality content. Sometimes blogger know they should post a quality content to blogger. But isn’t easy to start working on it.
I do agree review a blog can attract other unique visitors come in your blog. But their main purpose to view your site probably they wanted you to review their blog too
Hi,
I loved your 10 items lists. Already gave me some really good ideas.
I post on a daily basis, I either post news items, opinions or I give away free stuff.
Quality post.. I still work on it on how to create a quality post…
I think link attach does nothing more than a notification to the linked blog owners (in form of pingback), potential readers of your blog.
i will post a bunch of photos when I am lazy, but at least those photos are quality & funny loh~
another nice article.. i think weekend is a good time to write paid post since i am bz on weekday
@ Sean
Well, if you feel like writing, just write it, it is your personal blog. Making a sponsored posts interesting is what you can learn from Aunty Lilian which I still see comments in her sponsored posts sometimes.
If you asked me, I think Google is just doing something with their data centre. I am at N/A and you are at 2; I am not worried so why you should?
Trust me, you will still be able to write paid posts, check out http://www.socialspark.com or http://andybeard.eu/2007/11/socialspark.html . 
@ Kitkat
You don’t have things to write about tech?
There are so many tech stuffs out there. One thing to write about if you don’t have anything to blog about tech is to comment on some major news out there, like the launching of Mac OS X Leopard (I didn’t see you wrote about my dream OS).
@ Mercury
Stay tuned on Wayne Liew Dot Com. A three page long article is about to be published this week regarding quality articles.
@ John
Hi,
Posting everyday can make a blog’s quality deteriorates quickly if not taken good care of it. Posting everyday will be a great advantage for a blog if you can maintain the standard your visitors is expecting from you.
@ keeyit
Stay tuned, a post will be up on this.
@ Jalaj
It does have some use if you pingback a bigger blog and your link actually appears among the comments. It will get you some traffic and also, the blogger will give your blog more attention.
@ Edward
Yes, I like to comment on your posted photos sometimes.
@ cbenc12
Just joking…
Writing it when people are not here is a nice trick. Just like peeing when no one is around.
However, “Sponsored Posts” should be the most poisonous for a high PR4 blog. Touch that and your PR will fall like what I’ve experienced. Not worth it despite being ‘easy’
You know, these are some pretty good tactics. Next time I have a writer’s block and can’t think of an especially unique topic to save my life, I think I’ll do a review of another blog or what you like to call “Dugg News” and “Anticipation Posts”. Thanks for sharing, and keep up the great work.
“It does have some use if you pingback a bigger blog and your link actually appears among the comments”
yeah that’s true… I get a lot of referrals from Google’s official site just for including their link with relevant posts.
