Content is usually one of the core components of most Developer Relations programs. Technical content such as tutorials, how-to’s, articles is a great way to scale your program. Previously I shared how [one piece of content can help you create more content](https://dev.to/ibmdeveloper/how-content-creates-content-3edj) and also [where to publish content](https://dev.to/maxkatz/where-to-publish-content-53ao). In this blog post I will share interesting content ideas that you may consider beyond the standard tutorial or a how-to.

You will learn about the following content ideas:

- Notes or summary from a conference, meetup
- Event in 10 pictures
- Links to series of articles
- Links to previous month video recordings

### Notes or summary from a conference, meetup

When you attend a conference or a meetup it’s most likely to learn something new. Take notes during the event and then write a blog post and share what you learned. Writing and publishing what you learned – will help you reinforce what you learned. It will also help other people learn. You can put your notes in an outline format or write a few paragraphs. Here are a few examples:

- [What I Learned Attending a Serverless Conference](https://dev.to/maxkatz/what-i-learned-attending-a-serverless-conference-2591)

- [My Notes from Developer Relations Conference](https://maxkatz.org/2018/04/03/my-notes-from-developer-relations-conference/)

- [Notes 📝, Pictures 📷 and More 💡 from Developer Relations Conference 🥑](https://dev.to/ibmdeveloper/notes-pictures-and-more-from-developer-relations-conference-44p4-temp-slug-8652220)

- [Notes from DevRelCon SF 2019](https://dev.to/maxkatz/notes-from-devrelcon-sf-2019-434m)

### Event in 10 pictures

Attending the same conference or meetup, take pictures of interesting slides, content and people and then publish them in a blog post titled: “Event-name in 10 pictures” (you can of course use more pictures 📸). Here are some examples:

- [Developer Relations Conference in 10 pictures 🥑 📸](https://dev.to/maxkatz/developer-relations-conference-in-10-pictures--1f2d)

- [Google I/O 2019 in 10 pictures](https://dev.to/maxkatz/google-i-o-2019-in-10-pictures-bn6)

- [AI & ML Developer Summit in 10 pictures](https://dev.to/ibmdeveloper/ai-ml-developer-summit-in-10-pictures-fj3)

- [DevRelCon SF 2019 in 10 pictures](https://dev.to/maxkatz/devrelcon-sf-2019-in-10-pictures-2onf)

- [Blockchain Developer Summit in 10 pictures](https://dev.to/maxkatz/blockchain-developer-summit-in-10-pictures-2el0)

A side note, I try not to spend too much time live tweeting during a talk. It distracts from taking good notes. You can always share the pictures on social media later.

### Links to series of articles

Once you publish a series of articles on a particular topic you can create a blog post which has links to all the articles in the series. You can also use a tag. For example, you can include all the blog posts tagged with a particular tag, such as [DevRel](https://maxkatz.org/category/devrel/) (click to see an example) Or you can include all the articles that talk about content in DevRel space. A title of such blog post can be: _Working with Content, a 5-part series_.

Here is another example of a series I did a few years back: [What is Appery.io – the complete series](https://maxkatz.org/2016/04/21/what-is-appery-io-the-complete-series/). This blog posts consists of links to other blog posts.

### Links to previous month video recordings

This one is similar to the previous idea. [IBM Developer SF](https://www.meetup.com/IBM-Developer-SF-Bay-Area-Meetup/) hosts and records one online meetup every week. We have four (and sometimes more) online meetup recordings each month. At the beginning of next month I share all the recordings with a short summary what developers learned. Here are some examples:

- [GraphQL, Application Modernization, Serverless, Blockchain and more – March 2019 Online Meetups Recordings](https://dev.to/maxkatz/graphql-application-modernization-serverless-blockchain-and-more-march-2019-online-meetups-recordings-3890)
- [Chatbots, AI, Kubernetes, GraphQL, AI for IoT devices and more – online meetup recordings, April 2019](https://dev.to/ibmdeveloper/chatbots-ai-kubernetes-graphql-ai-for-iot-devices-and-more-online-meetup-recordings-april-2019-3ok)
- [Serverless, Kafka, Blockchain and Tensorflow.js – June 2019 online meetup recordings](https://dev.to/ibmdeveloper/serverless-kafka-blockchain-and-tensorflow-js-june-2019-online-meetup-recordings-5gb8)

### Summary

I shared a number of content ideas 💡 you may use if you want to publish something other than a step-by-step tutorial or if you are just stack 😬 on what to write about. There are other content ideas out there. If you have any, I’d love to learn about them so please share in comments 🙏.
