A question that I get asked a lot and I see in various groups regularly is, "How do I write good content? I don't have any ideas." You get emails daily, and you see posts in forums and on FB daily. You see stuff on the news, on TV, in the paper or billboards every day. Grab ideas from that. Heck, you are overwhelmed with content daily. Grab something that piques your interest and write about it. If it's original content, you can just post it, don't be concerned if it's good or not. If it's not original content, you can comment on someone else's post/article and discuss what they have written, agree or not. Link out to their content, open in a new tab so you don't lose your visitor, where appropriate. You can even clip bits from their content and insert them into yours with comments and links. Found a YouTube, Vimeo etc., video you like/don't like? Embed it into your post, add comments before and after, and there's some more content on your site. What about a book you've read that you can comment on? Comment, add snippets, link to the book on Amazon (affiliate link of course), and you're good to go. Write about stuff that happens to you and your day to day activities. Do you have PLR stuff on your hard drive? Almost certainly. It gathers digital dust. If you're really stuck for ideas to write about, you shouldn't be after that lot above, but if you are, go to answerthepublic.com, type in the main keyword for your site and download all the questions that are generated. That should give you enough to write about for a few months at least. Go back and get another lot of questions for another keyword. Anytime you buy a product to help you with your business, write about it. Tell people what you bought and why. Then tell them if you have used it and what problems you found with it, was it easy to use, was it good value for money, and where to get it even if you don't have an affiliate link. All of this will generate a lot of content if you apply yourself, it's not hard to do, and the payoff can be huge. Regards, P.S. As you can see above, creating content is fairly easy to do in any niche. Even if you know nothing about the niche you can create several pieces of content every week for months. The problem is that it's boring as bat shite to do day after day with little to show for it. Unless your blog already gets some visitors it could take up to six months of constant building to see any return on your effort. That's why most marketers give up long before they make a brass razoo. It's also why those fake gurus do so well selling their "instant buyer traffic" buttons or "make money - no work" B.S. methods. You'll need to get prepared to take advantage though. |
