Post a Numbered List: Readers love numbered lists. Easy to
read. Great to share. Best yet, readers can add to the list - so
it's a conversation starter.
Do a Book Review: Do a book review in a slide show.
Use Someone Else's Content: Yep - Steal it (and give them
attribution of course). Embed a YouTube video or a
SlideShare presentation. Find the author's web site and link
to that too!
