Anwser: Powerful blog posts attract readers by providing something worth linking to or sharing. That's the magic.
What kinds of post do this best?
1. The Freebie
2. The Overview
3. The message that connects
The Freebie is great for linking, because who doesn't want a free resource booklet with useful information? Who doesn't want a free peice of art from an interesting artist? Who doesn't want a free sample of a product that would be useful to them?

So next time you sit staring at a blank page consider the above suggestions three of the most expedient things you can do to reach out to existing and new readers and grow your blog fans.
