Intro
Steve takes some steroids before his family trip to the beach.  Dave recommends Fiverr.com and takes a shot at overused memes, and he and Steve list 10 types of blog posts you can use to keep the content generating engine going.

Zero Authority Toolbox: Fiverr

Dave and Steve recommend using Fiverr for smaller graphics, programming, and technical jobs.  Steve cautions that the people doing gigs for 5 bucks tend not to be native English speakers, so you need to have an extremely defined idea of your job and be able to explain it in very clear terms.
Steve’s Peeves: Overused Memes
Dave takes over the memes this week and vents a little about the overused memes, specifically memes using The Most Interesting Man in the World and Kermit the Frog.

Main Topic: 10 Types of Blog Posts

* Opinion: Don’t be afraid to be slightly polarizing.
* Interview: Find an authority and ask the questions you think your audience would like to learn about.  Try to develop a rapport with the interviewee first before asking for the interview.
* Review: If you’ve bought or tried a product or service, write it up!  And if it’s a positive review, let the business owner know you just gave them a thumbs up.  Consider affiliate links to include in these reviews too.  Steve adds that you could do multiple reviews simultaneously to create a comparison post
* List: Despite being kind of played out, list posts remain very popular with readers because they’re so scannable.
* Curated: Also called “round up” posts, curated posts are collections of existing material around a topic.
* Prediction: Got any predictions about the coming year, Nostradamus?  Let your audience know!  Then at the end of the year, revisit your predictions and grade yourself on your accuracy
* Co-Authored: Find someone in a related niche and collaborate.  Choose your co-author wisely and set expectations, especially when one writer has a much larger audience than the other.  It can’t be a one-way value proposition.
* Confession: Get vulnerable and let your audience know when you screwed up or failed in some way.
* Personal: Let the audience for your CrossFit blog know you are also a Brony. Give your readers some info about you that they wouldn’t learn by reading your other posts.
* Multi-media: Use audio and video every now and then to switch it up.
