Turn Reader Questions into Content
A great way to connect with readers and get more ideas for your next post is to open the site floor for questions. Since I’ve only addressed a limited number of questions that readers my have today I’d like to encourage you to comment and ask questions.
In the beginning stages of starting my personal blog to present I’ve received emails and comments from readers asking questions on; general, opinionated, technical and many other topics for which I’d written about or had not.
Turning reader questions into content is simple and straight forward.
- What are your questions post?
- Answer questions in comments
- Turn the question into a post
- Create a questions folder for inspiration
Ok, time for some Q & A. Questions must stay general in nature relevant for everyone to blogging and not personalized to suit your site. Note – I will not be able to answer every question received but will do my best to answer all questions that I feel I can honestly give good advice on. Readers are also welcome to answer commented questions.
The above cartoon by Peter Steiner has been reproduced from page 61 of July 5, 1993 issue of The New Yorker. I had to crop it for the post and cut off the quote at the bottom. “On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.”
The same goes for questions “On the internet, nobody knows you’re puzzled” unless you ask.

This is a great idea- this is the second time I’ve seen someone talk about turning questions into content. It makes a lot of sense- especially when interesting content is the key to a good SEO strategy and popularity strategy for blogs. Thanks for the great advice!
Agreed, user generated content is always nice, free, unique, and useful.
hey!
nice post…
Yip… This is really a valuable post. A great blog content are those come from readers questions and opinion. This will give you an idea and as well as what the readers want.
This is a nice idea Jason. And I had asked you a question about Page rank distribution by Google for domains with and w/o WWW – see if you could give us some insight.
I am working on this topic anyways.
Coming here after few days as was busy with my web hosting troubleshooting. [But good thing that the troubleshooting gave me some pointers for posting - must be other people also facing similar problems - One of the ideas for blog content]
By the way, is your blog under “Do-Follow”?
Hmmm, nice idea!. one question can generated to one or two post. And I thought write post about some readers question is more enjoyed and more motivated.
This is an excellent suggestion. Another good idea is to troll your search engine referrals looking for questions that brought people in, but for which your site doesn’t already have the exact answer.
If you want to see the right way to do it, go over to David Lithman’s blog. He’s been doing it well for a while.
Yes my site has “Do-Follow”. If you are using the root and WWW yes you receive credit because it sees the domain as one of the same.
