译者注：前几天，总统博客翻译了一篇关于塑造博客品牌的文章：塑造网站和博客品牌的10个途径 ，介绍的建立个人博客的具体战术；而这篇你应该知道的塑造博客品牌三条路，则是从战略角度来进行阐述。总统博客建议各位网友对比两篇文章进行阅读，相信会对你有所裨益。请继续阅读正文： 你是否感觉到自己在博客圈里依然是无名小卒？你是否考虑过通过某种途径塑造自己的品牌，从此名声鹊起？继续阅读这篇文章，我将给你介绍三条途径让你建立自己的品牌。当然，阅读这篇文章的时候你要清楚，成功之路绝非仅此三条。毕竟，本文的主要目的教你一些成功在博客圈成名的途径。 在这篇文章中，我不会手把手地教你成为权威人士。那是一个巨大的话题，要写上万言字来进行阐述。如果我要仔细教你每一步，足以写成一本书。 你可以看看这三种博客文章的类型，然后通过这些文章出名，进而通过这种博客风格塑造自己的品牌。首先我先列出这三种途径，你可以先看一样加上书签，稍后继续阅读。 1. 解决问题型博客； 2. 提出建议型博客； 3. 新闻资讯型博客。 1. 解决问题型博客； 解决问题型的博客是指那些针对用户问题提出解决方案的博客。解决问题者的优势是可以轻松获得大量的订阅者。如果你给我的问题一个解决方案，我会经常访问你的博客，也会乐意订阅你的博客。成为一个问题解决者是很难的，除非你对自己领域的背景知识有着深刻的理解。如果你不懂网站建设，你就写不出“如何建立一个网站”这样的文章。问题解决型播客能写出大量的“如何”的文章。要想寻找问题，就去论坛。那里是寻找问题的好地方。 2. 提出建议型博客 提醒建议型的博客能够针对你已知的问题提出更好解决方案的博客。如果你能够给人们好的建议，你的博客将会对社会化媒体更加友好。假如有篇文章的建议能够让你的博客更好，难道你不会提交它（到社会化书签站点）？ 又假如有篇播客文章列出了许多可以更有效管理时间的办法，难道你不会去挖掘（digg）它？要能给别人提供建议，你必须要博览群书。你阅读的越多，你就越厉害；你越厉害，你给出的建议就越好。 3. 新闻资讯型博客 新闻发布者是那些总是报道圈子里最新事件的博客。这些博客能够从搜索引擎那里获得更多流量。如果你主要的赚钱方式是 adsense，那么你应该成为这种博客。从搜索引擎来的访问者乐于点击广告。不过，成为新闻发布者也不容易。你应该成为第一个知晓事件的人。如果不能成为第一，也要进去前五名。如果有许多人同时写同一件事情，没有人会对你的文章感兴趣。博客圈里有许多博客正在写与你所写一样的新闻，你发布的时候一定要有独特的内容。 你是哪种类型的博客呢？能够在以上几种类型中寻找到适合你的么？如果有，我建议你要努力去做，要做的更好。需要我提醒你的事，即使你是个解决问题型博客，遇到最新的新闻也可以写下来。最终的目标是找出对你写作感兴趣的读者，并让他们成为你的订阅者。 原文：3 Different Ways To Brand Yourself And Be Known For It 中文：你应该知道的塑造博客品牌三条路 by 总统博客
