A how-to blog post pulls in readers because it promises that you’re going to give them information they can use and apply. Similarly, a blog post series attracts readers, but the added bonus of the promise of a follow-up post keeps them coming back for more. What’s a blog post series? Well, the 31 Days to a Brand New Blog is definitely a blog post series. The idea is to take one topic or subject matter and write multiple posts about it within a particular period of time.
Today’s assignment
Plan a blog post series for this week. You can start the series on Monday and go through Friday to make it simple. The first step is to figure out a blog topic you can write multiple posts about. Perhaps something that has several layers that you can peel back one by one as different aspects of the subject matter. Then, sketch out your posts for each day of the week, or maybe several days out of the week. Or you could even do one post each week on the selected topic. I’d suggest doing at least 3 posts in the series to make it worthwhile for readers.
Let us know what you come up with for your blog post series in the comments! Was it tough to come up with a topic to write a series on?
My series post is “talent round-up day” where I highlight nonprofit organizations and individuals that I feel are doing exceptional work in the field. I plan on posting a new round-up tomorrow.

Oh my gosh that is such a nice thing to say. Thanks so much
I did a blog post series “Relationship Week” during the month of July. I got a lot of great responses and some new readers.
This time around, I decided to create a series titled “Tell Us Why You Mad, Son” in an effort to share what has happened in pop culture, politics, or wherever that has people mad. I'll do at least 3 posts this week, but depending on how I feel, I may do more….
