Not knowingly of course, but I was drawn to bloggers that either taught me something, or have a unique manner of expressing themselves that kept me coming back for more. So I wanted to share in this blog post the types of content creators that earn my click every single day.
It's gotten to the point with some of them that they've become an automatic read, whenever they publish something new. These bloggers over time, have built up a reputation for producing high-quality work, so that I can click on the title with confidence. Like me, you'll find a core group of creators that you like, and if you ask yourself "why?" the amswer may make you a better blogger.
The CryptoManiacs Podcast is one where I always learn something new from Task and Jong. Along with JRE and KONCRETE, it's one of the few long-form video podcasts I view on a regular basis. So, if your blog is one that specializes in sharing information, it may just become a destination for true infomaniacs like me.
Another type of blog which catches my attention is one with what I call "a speaking voice." This is where the writer "talks" as if he's speaking directly to you. tarazkp is a good example of a blogger who writes with a speakers voice. with These types of writers create very personable content, and even long-form posts can breeze by before you know it.
There's also the important issue of engagement, where we can interact with the blogger, and expand on the information they share. If you regularly respond in the comments section, your readers are much more likely to make return visits.
Other posts come from what I call "the storytellers." These individuals have the ability to weave vivid imagery into everything they write. Travel bloggers tend to be great at this, where you can almost feel the sand beneath your feet as they tell us about their wonderful trip to a tropical isle.
They have a real knack for describing the atmosphere felt in a particular place in such a way, that it makes it feel as if we're right there with them. It's a treasured skill that really helps bring their blogs to life.
The last are what I call "inspirational bloggers." These are people who write to uplift and motivate everyone that visits their pages. Some may have dealt with adversity, and want to share tips about how they got through a bad situation.
Others are great at boosting us on a daily basis, while keeping their positive attitude front and center. Back when he was active, humanearl was so good at this. The constant encouragement and positivity helped many people "going through it" come out stronger on the other side. We're blessed to have people like him on Hive.
So there you have it. Just a little slice of the many content creators that we can follow and support with confidence. These are some great examples of the kind of writing which will help us build and keep an audience. So if you're new to Hive, and want to become a better blogger, you can't go wrong with subjects like these. Inform, entertain, and inspire. With these as your North Star, you'll have a bright future here on Hive.
