Almost 1 week is remaining for the new year – 2010, to start. Every person in the meantime looks at some good and bad memories for the year that is going to end, and also decides some resolutions for the next year.
As a blogger, you can write articles which will help you to increase your readership, relations with other bloggers and blog traffic. These articles are not the ordinary one which you usually write. These are some special topics which you can write most probably at the end of year.
Here are 5 Types Of Articles You Can Write At The Year End On Your Blog:

1.Your One Year Blog Report
Writing blog reports increases the readers interests as your readers are really keen to know how your blog has been performing over past one year. In such blog report post, you can write about your traffic data in detailed, your blog income, any major success in terms of search rankings, pagerank etc.
In such blog report post you can also write “Best Articles Of Your Blog”. This increases traffic and pageviews in a huge way. This is because there are some of your article which people may have missed in past and would love to read again. In such post, you can write Best Articles over a past one year in terms of traffic, comments and social media sharing.
Example Blog Post – One Year After Getting Laid Off – My Annual Passive Income Report
2. Make Some Predictions For The Next Year
Making predictions creates lots of hype. It brings lots of people talking about it in two ways, one who agrees with the prediction and other who is against that prediction made by you.
Example Blog Post – 2010: the year SEO isn’t important anymore?
3. Best [Some Topic] For The Year
This kind of posts requires very hard work but it’s amongst the best way to increase your traffic, readership and relation with other bloggers in a huge way. Here are some examples you can write under this type:
- Best Blogging Tips Of 2009
- Best WordPress Themes & Plugins Of 2009
- Best Startup Websites Of 2009
Example Blog Post – Daily Blog Tips: Best of 2008
4. Write About Your Past Year Experience
What you learned in 2009? What was the worst thing you saw people blogging about? All this and more can be written under this type of posts. You can share your thoughts about what has been happening with you, with your niche, with your friends, what made you happy, what made you feel ashamed or embarrass etc.
Example Blog Post – 101 Blogging Tips I’ve Learned in 2009
5. Your Next Year Goals/Resolutions
Write about what you want to achieve as a blogger in the next year. Tell the readers about your targets as a blogger. Write about any interesting subject/project you are going to start on..Writing such posts also increases people’s interests as well as it also gives other bloggers inspiration from your goals/resolutions.
Example Blog Post – My Goals for 2009 – TylerCruz
Conclusion

I have been really thinking of what should I post for my blog before the year ends, and thank you for giving me such great ideas! I’m thinking of writing my next year’s goals and resolutions.
.-= jogz´s last blog ..LinkfromBlog =-.
Well, it’s a good idea. Write all your goals and resolutions, before 2011 comes, re-read you post and cross out what goal have you reached or accomplished.
.-= Jenn´s last blog ..Mini Christmas Blog Giveaway =-.
Yup I wrote one like that to achieve before 2010 and may be I should write another on the year beginning.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
If it’s me, resolution which i post on my blog still available for update. It’s because, sometime, i think some resolution is too much, so i make post about “Resolution 20xx Revision Version”
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
Thats a cool idea Akira 🙂
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
akira07, are you familiar with the site http://www.43things.com ? It’s good for flexible goals.
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..It’s the Dopamine, You Dope! =-.
@Holly
Me too had a look http://www.43things.com… I was surprised to see lot of resolutions in that site.
@akira07
As you are a full time blogger, You can try 300 post per year friend…
Good. Hope you’ll achieve what you will write. Good luck! =D
.-= Jenn´s last blog ..Lalalalove Contest =-.
Sure. Are you not anything like that?
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
Look, senthil already publish one resolution. 200 new post in his blog…How do you think? It’s too hard or too easy?
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
@Akira I just said it for example. To say correctly if you become a full time blogger, you can write 500 per year. Give a try?
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
Well, even i’m full timer, i think 500 is too many….
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
Good idea, anyway what is the difference between goals and resolution? I’m already make 3 list of 2011 resolution, i will thinking 2 more, and then post it.
I think there is no much difference. “I will not speak lie in 2010” this is resolution. “I will achieve 200 posts in my blog by the end of 2010” this is goal as well as resolution. Hope it is clear.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
Let’s see, it’s not too hard…
1 year = 365 day and there is a day you create about 2 article/day.
Good luck…!!!
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
Well yes that makes the post count 700 per year. Goals should be achievable Akira.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
@Senthil Ramesh
Best wishes for your goals… I think already you wont speak lie… Keep that habit throughout….
Happy New Year Friend
“Full time blogger” would mean “laid off and can’t afford to pay for DSL,” so it’s not on my list for 2010. 😉
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..It’s the Dopamine, You Dope! =-.
Haha, it’s a choice :). Your resolution, so you’re the one who decide it.
But about fulltime blogger…I’m sure when you’re become full timer, your earning is increased and you can pay for the DSL. SO, i think that point is not ambitious to be listed on 2010 target.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..My Resolution for 2010 =-.
I think there’s nothing really different between the two. I am a little confused with resolution and goals as well.
Its never late and I am preparing some of these.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
Is “Beating Akira07 on Some Contest” will be your 2010 resolution :P?
Well, sometime i make funyn resolution. For example, when i create resolution for 2008, one of my list is : “Increase my Japanese Music Collection about 200GB”
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
Oh oh.I may not participate in the contest next year as I will be in job. So its my last contest and the last chance to compete you, I hope
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
What? What job? Well, it’s a choice, good luck on new year and hope all 2010 plan is done properly. Let’s make good report when 2011 nearly come.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
Too bad Senthil, so you’re gonna focus on your job next year? Still, I hope to see you on contests and compete with you again (:
.-= Jenn´s last blog ..Lalalalove Contest =-.
@Akira as a software developer,
@Jenn, no ways, its all fate 🙂
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Win $180 Cash Prize and more at SmartBloggerz =-.
haha, why no way?
I wonder what does it feel being a full time worker? If only my parent will allow me, I want to work already instead of studying.
.-= Jenn´s last blog ..Lalalalove Contest =-.
@Senthil
But i see your talent on contest. It’s so waste if you’re not become treasure hunter. Trust me, participating on contest is not that hard except which based on top point. Participate on drawing system is OK.
Well, on your resolution post, would you like to mention about the job?
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
Hah! It’s on mine.
I do have some strange and pointless aspirations.
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..It’s the Dopamine, You Dope! =-.
Ok, what is it? But it’s make our life is colorful so i think it’s interesting.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..My Resolution for 2010 =-.
@akira07
its really a fun resolution… I have also take a resolution similar to that…. To beat my sleeping time… But i found its very tough to beat that resolution
.-= Deepika´s last blog ..Importance Of Guest Blogging =-.
@jogz
Me too got similar idea after reading this post friend.. Now i am ready with my new year resolution article… soon it will be in live
.-= Deepika´s last blog ..Importance Of Guest Blogging =-.
I’ve decided to just take off a bit for specific reasons, but these really are good tips for those interested. 😉

C’mon man, make a new year post is needed only 10-15 minutes and just for fun, just to participate in the spirit of new year :). Consider it again, ok?
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
15 Min? May be but collecting resources can take s many time
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
I’s depend on what new year article type you’ll write 😛
Yeah but i agree, if it’s resolution, 15 minute is not enough since thinking of it is need so many consideration
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
Sure, may be a day or two needed to get a SMART goal for us.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..NoviceBloggers Celebrates Christmas with its 50th Article =-.
I would love to write a blog
in 10-15 minutes. I think to
do that the information
must come from the heart.
I loved this article — thanks
for the ideas — I have to
write one this week!
.-= Julia Kinslow´s last blog ..Answers to 5 most asked social media questions =-.
@ninedotscreativ
Yeah, if we got a clear idea regarding what we going to write, then we can finish it within 30min
I’m with you, Senthil. I could write a post in 15 minutes, but odds are I would not be happy with it. I write for a living, and this notion that a post should only take 10-15 minutes either means you’re an incredibly FAST writer, or that your grammar and spelling stink and you put no thought at all behind the words. 😉 Not pointing any fingers here, akira07 – I think you may actually be one of the rare, fast writers and participating in a blog comment contest that requires MEANINGFUL comments probably helps limber up your brain and fingers. But for most, it just means careless writing.
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..It’s the Dopamine, You Dope! =-.
Haha, and i’m already correcting my statement about 15 minutes new year article. I’m sorry 😛
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
what senthil said is right… Collecting information takes time and we need to organize them… Once we format them then task become simple and one more thing we have to make the article live…
.-= Deepika´s last blog ..Importance Of Guest Blogging =-.
To done my promise in this article, i make resolution for 2010 article within 15 minutes :P. But yeah, i think there maybe a revision for it since i make it in hurry.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..My Resolution for 2010 =-.
I’m baaaaack. And now you say you’re taking off. *SIGH*
Leave me breadcrumbs when you’ve got the new blog set up, and meanwhile, I trust you’ll still be dropping by to give me that wonderfully exotic mix of a hard time and support I’ve grown accustomed to, from you. 😉
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..It’s the Dopamine, You Dope! =-.
I’m thinkin you’re a subscriber – you’ll know when/where I jump, if you don’t already. 😉

I usually do #5, with a critical look back at the previous year, to see how many (if any) of my goals I’ve accomplished. I’m usually surprised at how many of my stated goals – the ones I’ve written down and shared with anyone – I manage to cross off the list. This does give some credence to the whole “Law of Attraction” idea (although I don’t think I can suspend my disbelief long enough to decide you’re all figments of my imagination and exist only to do my bidding… 😉 And aren’t you glad of that?) I try never to call them “resolutions.” The one “resolution” I ever kept for more than five years was, “Never to make any more stupid New Year’s Resolutions I have no intention of keeping.” It’s more of a mission statement and plan for the coming year. Let’s just tell ourselves that, anyway.
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..It’s the Dopamine, You Dope! =-.
No matter you said it with another term, i hope your “resolution” is successful. I’m waiting for your “resolution” article.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Quick report – My Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 Participation =-.
I am in process of writing a blogging goals for 2010 post. It’s definitely a great idea, as you can give your readers a taste of what they can expect from you in the coming year, and it also gives you a guide of what you will want to be working on in the future. I also did two “best of” posts for blogging and social media for my site, which summarized my best articles on my blog’s two main themes. The end of the year and beginning of the next do open doors for great topics!

@kikolani
You are right friend.. Write article regarding that help us to work on that whenever we saw that post.. And also it inform our readers about our blog goals. Sharing information with others always make us happy and it will motivate us when other give encouragement

It would be great to blog about something you wish or anticipate for the 2010 too. Blogging tips for next year sounds good and might write on that topic before the year ends.
