Can you help me create contend

8 replies
Hi,

I want to start with content marketing and try to post regular to the blogs I want to start and to other sites like guest blogging.

The problem is that I can blog about a few things but I am not really that good in creating 5 or more articles a week or something like that.

How do you guys create content? Can you give me some tips on how to create blogs with great content?

    Sounds like you could use a topic list. That is, a list of things to write about. You can get some great ideas by looking at FAQs that are related to your niche. Another way is by scouring the Table of Contents or Index pages of books. Tons of ideas in those things!!

    It took me a long time to figure it out but I finally can say..... I know a few things!

    Creating content is easy. Dedicate 1 hour out of each day to write a 300 word article. Once you've mastered this, turn it into a 500-word article. Then take that article and promote it on your site and let your email subscribers know where they can read your articles/content.

    Also, re-purpose your content. Turn it into powerpoint slides, spoken & modified Youtube videos, podcasts, emails, blog posts, etc. Don't let this be a road block for you.

    Hi Stephen!

    You can get some PLR articles related to your niche and read them to get some great ideas. You can get a huge library of plr articles at plrplr.com Or google "You niche" + plr articles.

    Don't ever use them as it is. It will be a huge mistake.

    Read through them and also do some additional research on that particular topic and re-write them if possible. When you have something to look at by side, it will be easier to get the completion than just writing from the top of your head.

    Plus, you can always outsource! Use services like iwriter.com or fiverr.com to outsource content creation. When you get some quality articles from them you will get the inspiration to write your own.

    Cheers!

    Get content ideas by reverse engineering your competitors

    Step 1: Get a massive list of your direct competitors' blogs. If you don't know how to do this or don't have the time, get a VA to do this. A good list won't cost you more than a few bucks.

    Step 2: Load the the competitors' blogs into Quicksprout. This will tell you which of their posts are the most popular.

    Step 3: Come up with your own versions (ie., maybe they failed to address an important sub-topic that has a lot of demand_

    Step 4: Use topsy to reverse engineer their content distibution patterns.

    Step 5: Use ahrefs or majestic to reverse engineer their backlink footprints.

    You can outsource all these for little money or you can do it yourself. What matters is you do it to maximize your content's reach.

    I focus on LESS content (but sky-high quality) and MORE content promotion.

    Just curious, did you write the articles in your WF blog from scratch? Or are they spun or PLR?

        One of the easiest ways is to look at the content already out that's related to your niche. You can use that as an template guide to spin your content in your own style and words. Do not copy or steal the content, it should just be used to give you ideas on what's current. Any content that can, educate, enlighten, and entertain will get your visitors engaging.

        Like for example, you see a blog post that says "25 ways to make your life easier." You can style it as your own spin-off like "30 things that will change your life for the better" and write from your personal experience. The content is already out there, you just have to be creative and style it to your own niche, or topic.

        That's a quick an easy way, another easy way is to signup to as many good content blogs so that you get those on the regular. Add these bloggers on twitter and put them in a group, this way you see all the new content they're putting out on a regular basis. Sometimes I find, just going for a walk, to clear my mind - I come back with brilliant blog post, or even just using life experiences is easy to do, and usually always pulls good response because just about everyone can relate
