I always worry that I can't come up with original content. Surely
any topic I write about has been hashed over many times!

How do you come up fresh ideas,especially if you are trying
to penetrate a heavy market?

any suggestions?

till next time....

I just find what other people or websites have written about the same subject and take a similar approach and put things into my own words.

Hi Sundown,

If you know your topic well, it shouldn't be a problem at all. That's part of the wisdom in writing what you know about and love.

Additionally, you can be inspired by anything and everything - a commercial, another article, a conversation, dreams, thoughts, books, forums, whatever. The only limit is your own imagination.

You can penetrate any market you want as long as you can think outside the box.

I use my experiences and read those are the main two. If you're new to article marketing then you may need to read more articles to see how they do their resource box and how they structure it. You can learn a lot this way.

I read somewhere, I think on this forum, where people find videos on Youtube and get ideas from the videos they watch. Now THAT is a great idea!

Hello sundown16,

One way to find inspiration is offline.
This will help you write unique content.
You may try magazines, books on topic, speak with others, the library is a great place, and many overlook this because we love our online world.

Have fun!
Victoria

I have found that reading other articles in the niche you are trying to work in helps inspire ideas. See what others have to say on topics of interest, then try to spin those ideas with your own experiences.

I would read books related to a topic of your preference. Then, I will note down important points. I will then organize these points and turn them into an article WITH MY OWN WORDS to make the content original.
