Write More Than You Can Publish

I’m kind of contradicting myself as I write this article. Simple explanation, this is going against an earlier article I wrote called; Delete Blog Drafts Older Than a Month. I wrote it because I had a number of posts in queue. They were structured points of the article I wanted to complete. So, I guess it’s not counted.

Not to mention, it’ll make me feel good and less troubled having to publish on the exact time continuously. We are humans for crying out loud.

The Different Types of Blog Posts

Blogging has become a commodity and it has helped open up new areas for blogging especially in Malaysia. Instead of jotting down our daily lives, some of us are depending on our blogs to put food on the table. This is thanks to the different types of blog posts.

I’ve observed a number of blogs and generalized the types of posts are: common, tattle tale, summarized, write-up, review, paid or sponsored, and charity. Obviously, not all of them generates revenue like the most popular topics in a blog and they are also not blog niches.
