Features, How to, Tips and Tricks
You love writing about what you do - that's why you blog right? You either enjoy teaching people about finance, reviewing books (c'est moi), giving people advice on blogging based on your experience (that's me also), talking about tech, talking about investing, talking about fitness, or whatever else it may be you like writing about.

Hold polls, hold votes, get people to answer things for you, invite people to ask you questions, get them to slide a fire emoji and so much more.
