5 Content Strategies That Top Bloggers Use + 3 Things That Set Them Apart
Photo by Tony Frissell, 1947.
When I’m in a healthy blogging mindset, I write long posts every few days. I’ve tried short and newsy in the past, but have realized I’m no Seth Godin. If I’m going to say something important and useful, I need plenty of words to do so. That’s the style that works for me, but it won’t work for everyone.
By studying some of the bloggers I admire I’ve realized that there are five dominant content ’strategies’ they use, and that each one is very different from the others. This is good news, because it means that there is (mostly) no right or wrong way to do content. I’ll talk more about that ‘mostly’ caveat later.
Despite the many differences, the similarities are more telling. I think I’ve been able to work-out some factors that are must-haves for your content. Without them, you simply can’t grow your blog into a niche leader.
The 5 Content Strategies I Identified…
1. Long, Deep and Less
Practitioners: Yaro Starak, Steve Pavlina (et al.)
Description: Long, +1,000 word posts that are very comprehensive. Rather than drip-feeding ideas about one topic over a series of posts the author consolidates them into ‘uber-posts’. They’re unlikely to post these more than twice a week.
Pros: This type of content tends to attract links, comments and fare well on social media because it puts a lot of value in one place. Since there is more in each post, readers are more likely to come across something that makes them think. Writing great content in this format consistently is one well-worn path to a popular blog.
Cons: It’s difficult to keep producing this kind of content consistently. Sometimes you won’t have time to write long posts and other times you’ll wrestle with that ancient fiend - writer’s block. To do this style well, you need to write posts in advance and be doggedly consistent. Though this type of content has been a natural fit for me I’ve often been tripped up by a lack of consistency. Some bloggers - bloggers that I envy - are like content producing machines and will never go for too long without posting, even over the course of several years.
Tip: Make sure your posts are long because you are packing them full of good stuff, not just because you’ve taken a long time to say something that warrants far fewer words.
2. Every Day, Without Fail
Practitioners: J. D. Roth, Darren Rowse (et al.)
Description: These bloggers have to be admired for their tenacity. They will not accept anything less than a new post every day. You’ll often find that bloggers who can master this habit are destined for big things.
Pros: One basic principle of SEO is that if you publish lots of content the search-engines have a lot to index. If you write 500 articles that get 2 search visits per day, you will be getting a base level of 1,000 visitors per day from search. The simplest thing you can do to increase your traffic is write more.
Cons: It can be stressful to keep up this habit when you have to go away for several weeks, or if you get sick. It’s not easy to store up dozens of posts as a safety net, though I recommend it. If you’re determined to have your blog updated every day you’ll need to make connections with people who are happy to guest-post for you on short notice.
Tip: If you don’t have a writing routine in place you wont be able to keep this momentum for long. Make a time each day where you will write and don’t let anything stop you. Choose an hour or two when you tend to be alone, or else you’ll be frequently distracted. Early in the morning or late at night are good times for this.
3. A Lot of a Little
Practitioners: John Gruber, Jason Kottke (et al.)
Description: This blogging style involves creating a prolific number of short, poignant posts - sometimes more than ten per day. These posts are usually a mix of wisdom and links with commentary.
Pros: Readers have cause to check your blog multiple times per day for updates, and most of the time they’ll be rewarded with at least one new post. If you’re posting a lot it’s also not a big deal if your readers don’t like some of your posts, so this gives you more freedom to explore a broader range of topics.
Cons: If a particular post’s main job is to point readers elsewhere, it’s not likely to get many inbound links or social media votes. Finding the material for numerous posts can also be very time consuming, and tricky if you don’t have the time to spend hours in your feed reader each day.
Tip: Writing short posts does not excuse you from the hard task of writing words that are unique and interesting. Add your own commentary to links and news. Make your personality - heck, your ego - the daisy-chain between every post.
4. Maybe There’s a Little I in Team…
Practitioners: Brian Clark, Michael Arrington - maybe not at the moment? (et al.)
Description: Bloggers who double as editors, sharing their blog with other writers they’ve invited (and sometimes paid) to contribute. The main blogger will usually write more frequently than anyone else.
Pros: This gives the blogger time to focus on other projects (usually money-making projects) while much of their blog content is outsourced. Some bloggers are able to do this without paying a dollar because there are so many people eager to write a guest-post for them - an example of this model is TwiTip.com.
Cons: This will dilute your personal brand as the blog becomes less ‘yours’. Readers may miss the days when your contributions were more frequent. Also, for most of us, this will cost money.
Tip: Even with a team you should still write often. Readers are interested in your blog’s topic, yes, but they’re mainly interested in you.
5. Social Media Mayhem
Practitioners: Jacob Gube, Leo Babauta (et al.)
Description: Every headline is optimized for social media and most posts are in list format. Headlines with numbers in them are not uncommon. These bloggers are fantastic at writing posts that make social media users want to share them.
Pros: Traffic, and lots of it. Bloggers who can write for social media will often see their subscribers and traffic grow very quickly.
Cons: This kind of content can be impersonal. Because it needs to be free of context to appeal to social media users (who will usually visit an article and then navigate away to the next one) it’s difficult to establish a rapport. Because what works and doesn’t work on social media is largely determined by following existing formulas, it can also become repetitive.
Tip: Don’t post social media optimized content all the time. Post for social media sometimes, and other times, post just for the readers you already have. They’re the ones who send those votes your way, and they do it because they like you. Help them to like you more.
What They Teach Us
At first glance, not much. There are many different ways to provide value to people, and no one method seems superior to the other. The blogging habits of people like Jason Kottke, Steve Pavlina and Brian Clark couldn’t be more different.
In some ways, though, this helps to illuminate the few similarities shared between every single one of these five content strategies.
Being consistent
For your blog to gather more traffic and subscribers, you must be posting regularly. Whether it’s 3 times a week or 20 times a day, you have to give people a reason to check your blog often. If you post once a week, people will check your blog once a week. If you stop posting for a month, some people might forget to check on you at all.
Consistency has been my own Achilles’ Heel as a blogger. While I consider myself an expert in some areas consistency is one where I’m still learning. I can’t yet provide advice on how to blog consistently but I can say that it is extremely important. It’s also worth noting that I’ve never seen a blog grow while content stagnated. No amount of marketing will work if your content is musty and stale.
Tip: Make it your goal to update your blog 3 times a week (or two times a week if your posts are really long). If you’re not already doing this and finding it hard to collect new readers, this is probably why.
Being tenacious
Aside from writing a lot, top bloggers have been writing in one place for a long time. Links add up quicker than they disappear, so it follows that any consistently updated blog will grow a little (or a lot) more as each month passes. The process, in its essence, is a waiting game - though you can’t wait idly and quietly. Like picking a smart route on a road-trip, your actions can get you there faster.
Settling on a natural fit
Though I’ve experimented with the ‘lots of a little’ method in the past, I’m not really good at anything except longer, less frequent posts. This is the way I write and how my brain works.
The bloggers I mentioned above are all posting content in a way that is a natural fit for them. If you’re not motivated to write it might be because you’re not letting yourself write in a way that comes naturally. Experiment with different styles of content (if you write long, try short, and vice versa) and different voices. Pick the non-fiction writer you like most and imitate them in your writing. Trust me - it will still sound like you, because it’s not them writing, but it might sound like a better you. Do this until you don’t have to anymore.
It’s Work, Not Art
The things I found in common between the five content strategies were not hidden secrets or master skills. Instead, they’re habits that we can all practice but most people find difficult to do. Anyone can write a lot of content for a long time in a way that is a natural fit for them, and every person currently running a popular blog seems to do this. You might not be doing it yet, but you’re capable of doing it, and you can start straight away.
I wish you the best of luck :)

Skellie,
Thanks for this article. Not only did you outline some great blogging techniques, you gave me some new people to subscribe to!
What a wonderful article. It just goes to show how many different ways one can be successful at blogging. I particularly resonate with the longer but less frequent posts, I feel I’m able to convey my messages a bit better. However I do sometimes post some short posts as simple posts can be powerful as well.
What is your favorite method?
Absolutely struck a chord with me. Fantastic post. I’ve found that mixing meaty posts with social media ready posts is working for me. Maybe that will change over time as I grow as a blogger.
I’m sure I have a pattern of sorts, I don’t think we can escape this as bloggers.
Most of my posts, perhaps, fall in the 500 word range. However, I’ve done posts over a 1000 words and ones under 300.
The reason is simple: I like variety. I like it as a reader and as a writer. I believe it adds spice to a blog.
Some say it’s good to write the same length of post every time. As a reader I don’t agree with this. Variety, just like with food, is very pleasing when coming back to a blog day after day.
You write:
“Make it your goal to update your blog 3 times a week (or two times a week if your posts are really long). If you’re not already doing this and finding it hard to collect new readers, this is probably why.”
I tend to agree with you on this - and no - I’m not really doing this *at the present time*.
In fact I wrote, “7 Reasons Blogging Less Frequently can Increase Your blog’s popularity” posted on WTD - http://tinyurl.com/7hks5r
And while I still agree with what I wrote, I think the ideal is two to three times a week. Five only if you’re a beast and have a very large readership.
But worse than lacking consistency is consistent posting with tired/contrived content.
Great post. I’m more of a #2 guy. I write a post every day, sometimes long sometimes not. but, instead of making it an absolute drag, I just write all my posts in one sitting at the beginning of the week. Usually only takes me 2-3 hours to write 5 post for the week.
[...] Getting inspiration. I’m a big fan of Domain Tweeter. Every day he posts a new domain that’s available to register, along with some information about search traffic and CPC for the phrase that the domain targets. He doesn’t focus on gambling or poker, but looking at his thought process gives me ideas for poker domains. And I do love me some poker domains, let me tell you. More inspiration I got from Twitter: 5 Content Strategies That Top Bloggers Use + 3 Things That Set Them Apart. [...]
Good research and excellent points made. :)
For myself I had picked daily post in the start because I understood that I need training to improve and the more time between posts the more I am likely to slack.
Feedback that my post frequency is good and comfortable (from different readers at different occasions) was perhaps best indicator that I picked my strategy right for my skills and content.
Now I slowed down to about 6 posts a week for occasional pauses. My curse is that I need to cool off after writing post which makes writing in bulk and scheduling hard.
great article Skellie! I had a similar idea for an article.
Interesting that you divided the different bloggers into 5 different categories. I would rather suggest 3. Social media bloggers, hybrid bloggers (those who do both), and then the readership bloggers, who are only concerned at providing valuable information to their fellow readers.
Anyway keep it up :)
This is a great article, Skellie with a lot of useful insights to absorb and advice to act upon. I do admire bloggers who are able to write attention worthy posts on a regular basis. It does require constant effort and I totally agree, it is more work than art. This will help me renew my own attempts to increase the frequency of my own posts.
Long & deep style definitely suits your ideas. Well explained, thanks a ton for your precise & clear directions for people like me facing a dilemma.
” If you’re not motivated to write it might be because you’re not letting yourself write in a way that comes naturally.” - great advice!
Excellent post, bookmarking for future reference. Thank you for sharing.
Great information…I think the most difficult thing for me is consistency. If I get slammed at work or with freelance projects I tend to find great topics to write about, but never actually finish the posts. My blog traffic flattens out, but instantly surges again when I pick back up to 3x week post schedule.
Thanks for the great information and encouragement!
And then as Julius just said, there is the hybrid blogger. I cover #1,3 and 4 posting daily. One post always full of links to my niche - a news feed of sorts but well filtered by me - I have a team helping and there are regular longer posts (largely audio interviews in my case).
Now how can I look after #2 and 5 as well…
Hey all,
Thanks for the comments! Interesting to see the content strategies other people are using.
@ Bamboo Forest: I think posting less frequently can definitely be of benefit if you’re posting that baseline 2 - 3 articles per week but also pouring lots of value into the articles you do write. But it does make sense that 3 great articles are better than 1, etc. As you wisely pointed out, you have to balance the number of posts with the amount of time you can devote to making each one of them fantastic. If I published 5 times a week, for example, the quality of those posts would suffer I think.

Hi Skellie,
Great job breaking down the different types comprehensively. I love that you highlight *habits* instead of *master skills*. Although talent can make a significant difference, I think we often underestimate what hard work and perseverance can accomplish — after all, it’s nice to think we can succeed just because we’re talented, rather than thinking about how much hard work it will take.
This article from Psychology Today is a really interesting study of how important “grit” and perseverance are to success: http://www.psychologytoday.com/rss/index.php?term=20051017-000003&page=1
Why are all the examples of top bloggers always people who blog about blogging (Problogger), personal productivity, internet marketing or technology?
How is it that some of the real top bloggers like Dooce, Perez Hilton, Pioneer Woman, Andrew Sullivan are always overlooked? They have traffic a following that puts some of these sites to shame. None of the blogs mentioned in this article are bad blogs, but they are from the same family of blogs which everyone in this niche always talks about. Blogs in the technolgy/blogging/marketing space all target a very tech savvy audience and the lessons which can be learned from them are not the same for everyone.
I think the blogging advice blogs (like this one) tend to only read blogs about their own space and totally ignore the world outside of that niche. There are some HUGE blogs out there on politics, travel, lifestyle, gossip, economics, sports, etc. which have more to teach most bloggers than the bloggers who blog about blogging. (we need to find a word to cover this niche. that last sentence is really a mouthful) These sites are never mentioned on sites like this or ProBlogger. They don’t exist. Every guest article tends to be from another MMO site, Internet marketing site, or blogging blog.
I think there is some real value in getting some insight from blogs outside of these niches. I’ve gotten some really valuable lessons from this hidden top bloggers. I don’t have a technology blog and many of the “lessons” which are constantly rehashed really only apply to a very tech savvy audience.
Excellent post. I have been trying to figure out my writing style and posting schedule for my blog. There are times in which I feel like writing a long and comprehensive post. There are other times in which I feel like writing a few smaller and more frequent posts. Generally, I think I am leaning towards writing a medium length post everyday with the occasional long or short post. I definitely plan on taking advantage of the publishing scheduler on Wordpress as I don’t have any time to work on my blog during the work week.
-Philip Nowak
Great analysis. And give me quality over consistency anytime. Your posts are consistently worth waiting for. :-)
Friends and social networking is the greatest tool a blogger should need. Without it, he or she will not grow as fast as expected.
Really enjoyed this article; very helpful to me, in many ways. Thanks for following me on Twitter. It drew me to your site, where I’ve been reading your posts. Good content and good writing. I really appreciate that. I’m a new blogger (couple of months) and am trying to pick up as much info as I can. Thanks

That’s a great post!! Really puts things in perspective. Being a relatively new blogger, I always struggle with frequency, length, and content. I always feel so compelled to write something that packs a punch, that I find it hard to post frequently.
Do you think the breadth of the intended audience makes a difference to the style of blogging to be done? If you are very niche going after a more narrow audience, will that call for a different style than one that is more of a generalist with a wider audience? Just a thought?
thanks again for the great info.
@ Gary: Thanks for highlighting those blogs that are also great examples. I agree that I do tend to have certain blogs that I use examples often. This isn’t because I’m not familiar with other blogs (I find myself browsing Perez Hilton a little too often!) but because I try to pick examples that I feel my readers are likely to be familiar with as soon as they hear their names. That way they will be able to know what I mean straight away without having to go and research into a blog they might not have seen before.
@skellie
Everyone does it. I’m not trying to call you out per se. I think there is a lot to be learned from blogs outside of the internet niche. The have a very different audience than the niche everyone here might be used to reading, and some things which they do are totally contrary to the conventional wisdom of the blogging blogs. As most blogs are not MMO/Blogging/Marketing blogs, there is a lot to be learned from the likes of Dooce and Perez Hilton.
I think a series looking at some of these “hidden A Listers” would be fascinating.
I spent several weeks trying to figure out how in the hell one blog in particular was so popular. I couldn’t understand it. I eventually figured out some of the tricks they used, and it is something I rarely hear discussed on any of the A-List blogs. I adopted some of them and have seen a huge jump in my RSS subscribers in just 2 weeks. No one pays attention however because the blog is about things most people find boring and mundane.
@ Rick: I think if you’re going after a niche the format of your content can stay the same, but you should really be trying hard to connect with individual readers on a personal level. The strength of niche blogs is that, if done well, they’re like small, close-knit communities. Big blogs are more ‘broadcast’ like and it’s hard for the blogger to get to know even a small percentage of their readers. This is a weakness of big blogs and a strength of niche blogs.
Good question!
@ Gary: What you say about blogs in non-tech niches is very true. I try to learn from these regularly as well because it can open you to new kinds of blogging. Those ‘hidden’ blogs are often where some of the most exciting innovations in blogging happen.
@skellie
This post was a great way to start off my Saturday. I don’t get writers block - but I do get bloggers block. It has to do with everything else rising to the surface of significance in any given day. I agree - it’s got to be a consistent journey and it’s comforting to witness the many forms they can take - while still driving traffic.
I make myself a promise to blog three times a week - but when I don’t I give myself a pass. Instead, I’ll make it a point to read and comment on a few other sites to make up for it. Giving a little - goes a long way toward relationship building.
Hi Skellie,
I am firmly in the number one slot. I just knocked off a 2600-word tome yesterday, and it felt right. I felt I didn’t explore the topic any more or less than necessary. I have never enjoyed a blog that posted ten times a day. I like mine longer and deeper.
Great post! Sounds like I need to refine my blogging skills. Many times I use blogging as my personal journal - is that a bad idea?
I know I’m not a long blogger because I don’t have that long of an attention span. I will have to try out some of the other approaches.
thanks
I won’t say I have a regular schedule for blogging yet, but I’m getting there. I do at least only rarely miss a whole week anymore. I rarely write a 1000 word post, as I generally prefer a more midrange length. But a really long post definitely has its uses.
Definitely, creating a great blog is hard work and dedication. A schedule and a calendar to note ideas for future posts give you a good starting point when it comes to writing.
Great Post! If it feels right and you’re writing with passion or to provoke thinking the length shouldn’t be as important - the value the content brings the reader is most compelling for return visits, linkage and comments. All points here are well taken and validated. Thanks for the though provoking disruption to the standardized uninteresting swarm of mash I usually come across. You have earned a new follower!
Peace and be well

Excellent article. This ranks among the best advice and insight you can get from the ProBlogger and CopyBlogger sites.
I’m going to bookmark this list, read it, reread it, and re-reread it until I fully grasp what the hell I’ve been doing wrong. :)
Thanks.
[...] Just got done reading an excellent post by Skellie entitled “5 Content Strategies That Top Bloggers Use + 3 Things That Set Them Apart” [...]
I’ve found that I tend to write all over the place, yet I haven’t done well jumping from style to style on my home site. Now I write as I love to do and drop the post in the most appropriate location over a broad range of sites. This works well. Also, one thing about writing every day, long, short and everything in between. The more you write, the sharper your voice will be able to ring in a shorter period of time. Just as there is no better way to get traffic than simply write, there is no better way to get better at writing than to sit down each day and do it. I know this has been said ad naseum, but it is true, true, true.
Excellent content post and I love all of the blogging advice on this site. Greatly appreicated.
I think we’re in the same camp when we speak of the number of words per article. I always tell myself to be brief and not to belabor any points I make. I revise a lot. I edit a lot. And try to leave out parts so readers can easily jump in to complete what I seem to have missed out on. My inclination is to take long as it is necessary to cover the points I want to make in a post and then stop.
Of course, when I was just starting I was a bit stage-struck so my writing was more terse.
@Gary: As regards those prominent blogs you’ve mentioned which by design Skellie did not cite in this article, I think if we examine them more closely I have a feeling will still bear out Skellies observations on consistency, tenacity and natural fit. This is the recurrent thread that runs through meta blogs that Skellie cited. And those blogs you’ve mentioned would to some degree share those classic characteristics. That’s my take on the matter. But of course I may be off with this observation.
Very nice post. I’m just starting out and my number one question is how often do I need to post. Sounds like the more the better. I’ll make my routine an early morning experience.
Hey, that photo at the top of this excellent post is the cover photo for the album Undercurrents by Bill Evans and Jim Hall. It came out in the 1960’s when I was in high school and getting into jazz and beat poetry in an otherwise totally conservative small town high school. There is a very abstract piece of writing on the back of the album which along with the photo and of course the music really excited me at the time.
See, you never know what an interesting photo on your blog will trigger…
Skellie,
You fail to disappoint. The reader response here is impressive. I browse away with this: “write according to how your brain works.” Appreciate the investment poured into this post. It shows. :)
-Mig
What’s good about this article is that it show me who I am and what stragerties I need, like spell check, to maintain my blog. Thanks
Great post Skellie .. I had been impressed that you wrote so much on your Flickr post that Darren Rowse mentioned. Lovely to see the thinking behind it
I am now determined to be consistent with my new blog .. it will just be a question of keeping the spzc e
Definitely food for thought. I have a fairly steady post rythm, but I have to wonder about traffic growth. My blog is a quiet one with very little traffic. There are others on the same genre with exceptional levels of traffic growth since I began reading their writings, but still wonder what is lacking in mine. Your article certainly gives me something to think about. Thanks!
I’m still rather new to blogging, so this was a very useful post for me to read.
I’m one of those who writes a lot, but I’ve never thought about what I would do if I get sick or have to go away a few weeks. Your recommendation in saving a few posts is great, so that’s what I’ll start doing. Just in case :)
OMG!!! I love “It’s work - not art”.
Somewhere, along the way, people got the idea that success in any venue is “easy”.
Whether it’s blogging or tennis - you’re not going to be “great” overnight. You may show promise and talent, but the best you’ll be in the beginning is a “gifted beginner.” No matter how “gifted” you are when you start, whether it’s tennis or blogging - a seasoned pro will kick your ass every time.
This is a great “as real as it gets” post. The one common element every blog you reference here shares is a LONG track record and literally hundreds if not thousands of posts!
Awesome post. Really made me think about a new strategy that I can use in my own blogging. Thanks for the insight.

Hi Skelliewag and thanks for a truly insightful post. I have been a fan of many of the bloggers you have mentioned and I am now quickly becoming a fan of your blog as well…:) The reason I enjoy reading blogs is not only because of the style of writing but of course, the personalities involved. You can get a good sense of what it would e like to hang with that person via their style of writing. And to think I wrote off blogs about 5 years ago thinking that no one would be interested in what others had to write about!! Boy was I foolish…:) Thanks again and take care.

Hi Skellie,
I’m so glad I found your blog; it’s full of treasure to be unearthed. The blessing of your blog is you’ve understood the predicaments of bloggers and bang on their needs and priorities.
Thank you so much!
I’ve been seriously contemplating on why and how I can be prolific in my blog: as I had no clue what to write and how to write, ever since I started my blog.
Hence, I started introspecting deeply and found some easy ways to set our writing muse on fire… and started writing few posts.
I’d like anyone to check them out and tell me if they make some sense.
Thanks for your invaluable insights!

I LOVE Steve Pavlina! I just found this blog after a L-O-N-G night of sifting through useless other blogs; its amazing how targeted your topics are; as I want to get to bed but find myself reading just one more of your articles (they all seemed to have been written with me in mind) thank you
I’ve been working on getting my blog up and running, and reading your articles have helped boost the idle writing engine more than once. Thank you so much for your thoughtful posts! This one will be sitting next to my computer for encouragement.
I am quite impressed with ProBlogger and DailyBlogTips. Their ability to get good page ranks on post pages is something you don’t see very often.
