You have to cover various topics on blog then you will find the different type of content regularly and it will help you when you are not writing regularly according to your blog theme.

   There are various blogs which are using this tact and some of them created sub domains for their podcasts and video categories. I liked how Boing Boing set up a sub domain for video posts and gadgets.

2. Content By Various Authors: It is very popular strategy for creating regular content on site. If there is only one writer then it is not possible to generate new content on regular basis. Hire or provide open submission on the site from other users which should be moderated by the editors of the blog. If you are doing so then you will get various types of new stories that will justify the categories on blog. And it will best practice when your blog will publish at least one story for each category each day.

The readers like the those content which are easily understandable, why the posts which contain images are generally liked by peoples? The Reason is they easily understand the post by relevant images. So, use easy language and write content in a good manner.
4. Create a Forum for Social Discussion: Provide a forum for the readers where they can discuss social issues. It will provide stickiness, means readers will come again and again on your site forum for discussing issues and also for help from the community forum.
5. Social Communities Are Really Helpful: Specific Niche based social communities as forums Social Media News Sites are really helpful for getting targeted traffic for your blog and they are also beneficial for you to build relationship and network.

Generate the content which are sharable on the social media and manage to share it on the social media by a potential users. For the success on the social media firstly create an account on the social media sites and make good friends.
7. Sell a Product or Service: Putting ads on your blog is an easy way to make money but you’re leaving money off the table by not having a paid product or service you can promote as an add-on. Think about it. Every new visitor that streams in daily to your site is a potential customer or client.

   They aren’t only subscribers or pageviews to be counted. Create a product (ebook, software) or office a service (consultation/design) on top of what your blog. Freelance Switch’s book on freelancing is a good example of how to sell a product alongside your blog.

8. Provide Premium Content: Premium content refers to exclusive content not made available to the public. They can be given for free or on a paid subscription basis. Create a members only private blog or subsection on your site and promote paid subscriptions alongside your free content.

   Detailed tutorials, tools, free members-only products (ebooks), user generated content and efficient customer support on your end will make premium content attractive. SEOmoz’s premium content section is an good example of something that would work.

9. Setup Your Site For WAP: Many of the readers ecess the web by mobile, PDA’s so make your blog mobile so that these users may access you blog any time. It’s not too far fetched to imagine someone reading your blog article on a PDA and then showing it or sending it to a couple of friends. So, make your site mobile friendly.
10. Create Resourceful Videos and Podcasts: Video blogging will allow your blog to reach new audience and so increase your readers and traffic. Social video websites like Youtube, Dailymotion and Metacafe are high traffic venues which can bring you not only sales conversions but new readers.

Always think about new and creative things for your blog. Creativity is a thing which will distinguish you from others. Why readers will prefer you on others? It is simple that when they think that you are different from others and you provide new, different and good information on blog.
