When trying to write content for your website, one of the hardest things to do is find topics to write about. Many times the content that you would like to write about have already been written about so you would like to change it up. Over the years we've designed several websites for our clients and than produced some of the best content which we used to market their products and services. We have also adapted a few tricks that really help us find the best topics which people actually want to read and are looking for.
So,
We've decided to put a quick list together of places you can visit or tricks you can use to get your creative mind working in the right direction.
Let's get started...
First, look for things that are trending online because they can provide a lot of hot new topics. Many websites like Yahoo, Google or even news feeds everyday will produce a cool list of topics that people are typing. The list is usually a "what's hot" list and can serve as awesome inspiration for your next topic. Another cool way to find trends is by visiting social media websites because people are often publishing cool or tweeting cool news everyday.
Next, read the local news paper and if you read it daily than overtime you'll get a good idea of what people are writing about and buzzing about. If you notice a trend over several years than you can collect articles and create an epic post to publish onto your blog, etc. News is the oldest form of communication and can be used even today to generate some cool new topic ideas. Visit the news sections that are relevant to your blog and start writing down cool ideas from there.
Here's another cool way to take advantage of communication which is simply to ask your friends what's been new in the news or been trending in recent weeks. You'll have a handful of people that are involved in different niches, some even your's, so don't be afraid to ask them what's been trending online and ask them their opinion on something that recently happen in the news. If you are writing a topic then simply tell them about it while asking them their input which you can add into your content to enhance the point of view.
One of the best ways to find content and people have been using for years is to write what your competitors are but do it better than them. If your competitors have been writing content and that piece of content has been creating buzz through social likes, etc, you'll know that it is a very HOT topic and you can write about the same. The trick is not to copy them but to make your content better. Here are a few ways to make your content better.
a) Look for what's missing within their content and add it within yours, i.e images, videos, infographics
b) Find out how you can make it more in-depth, for example, include sub-headings which they have left out.
c) Ask a friend to read over it and ask them what they would add to make it better than include it when you rewrite.
Once you've gathered all the ideas than take your time and make something more better and longer so it stands out and don't forget to share it with your circle.
