Content in decline?

Hey guys, I’ve recently put up these three sites: http://leonkapulsky.wordpress.com , [URL=“http://leonkapulsky.blogspot.com”]http://leonkapulsky.blogspot.com and [URL=“http://leonkapulsky.ning.com”]http://leonkapulsky.ning.com , and since putting them up, I haven’t had any idea about what kind of things to post. I started to post some interesting news stories, but then again, why would people choose my new site over a site like reddit.com?
Anyways, should I continue posting cool news stories?

Find me on http://www.linkedin.com/pub/leon-kapulsky/21/b26/119 and [URL=“http://twitter.com/lkap13”]Twitter

Thanks a lot in advance. Also, would an interest site such as a site for Dream Theater (progressive rock band) do well in terms of site content?

I would say yes, keep posting, because even the practice of posting will get make you better and better at writing interesting content. Also, keep using sites like reddit, stumbleupon, digg, even mixx if you can stomach it. Use all the news sites etc and get an idea of what people like to read, and if there are interesting news stories.

Also look ahead in calendars to when there are up coming events, and write about them. Write about what is going to happen, not what people already know about, and then you will be writing about “news” not “olds”

I think you need to consider your target audience before writing. Who are you trying to reach? If you want to build a following of contemporary rockers, then Dream Theater sounds like it would get some bites. There is a multitude of web sites and news stories on the internet. Make your stories stand out from the rest. Read competitors such as reddit.com and see what you can do differently- better. Then build your following.
