Episode 054: Day 4 of the Selection Box Challenge

This is the 4th challenge in Content Academy’s 5 Day Selection Box Challenge that we kicked off a couple of episodes ago. If you want to go back and check out the first challenge you can find it here.

To recap – every day we have been suggesting a particular style of blog post for you to create. Our challenge is to create and publish that blog post – to join our Content Academy Mastermind Group on Facebook and to share your post on this thread and to check out the other posts others are submitting.

Today your challenge is to create an “F.A.Q-Post”.

An F.A.Q post is a great way to not only drive traffic to your site in both the short and long term, but it can also save you time further down the road.

You can listen to this episode in the player above or look for episode 54 on iTunes.

There is of course one bigger question, what question should I answer? I will give you some ideas in a moment, but for now let me dig into just why I feel this “style” of blog post is so important.

Why F.A.Q Posts are awesome

F.A.Q posts are a super way of publishing content on your blog. Really when you think about it, if one person who is interested in you topic or niche has that question the chances are that there are more people out there who want that question answered as well.

So, by doing a bit of work looking for the right question we can ensure that we will be producing a piece of content that people are actively searching for.

Which of course has a knock-on effect on our traffic and indeed our S.E.O.

There are a few other reasons and I speak about those in today’s episode, but that is the main reason we should be constantly on the look out for questions to answer.

Where to find questions

Ask your readers

Check your comments and email

Use Twitter Advanced search

Answer a question of your own

Go to question sites like Quora

Find and talk to a beginner in your niche

Think back and answer a question you once had

Check other blogs and forums
