Blogging On A Slow News Days

Not all news days are created equal. Sometimes you’ll scan your RSS reader and find lots of compelling news to comment on. Other times, you’ll see just some picked over tidbits that you already used. On a slow news day like these, it’s probably best you just go ahead and get original. At least that way you can add something useful to your main body of work.
Being original will generally pay dividends for the simple reason that a lot of bloggers don’t bother with unique content, and instead prefer to link out to material they find. If you can execute a well-written piece that resonates with someone, perhaps you’ll gain a few incoming links that can actually bring you traffic.
If worse comes to worse, you could always go ahead and link up some of your old articles and put together a cohesive piece that ties together some of your past work. It’s not really the most exciting of posts, but people who visit your blog should still find the efforts worthwhile.
