Authoring & Writing Content
Updated

My website is going to be on Metabolic Syndrome. Not a medical expert here so wanted some ideas on how to approach the content to include videos. Penny for your thoughts!

The first question I'd ask is if you can write well in general. If your skills are well honed, yes, you can repackage what others are saying. But remember not to spin the content. It should be different enough that it isn't recognisable. Best practices include using multiple sources instead of spinning a single article. Make sure you don't copy structure, flow, order, and section headings from a single source.

And, if you decide to hire a content creator, don't just look for cheap options. Look for value and experience. If you go for a decent writer asking fair rates, they'll earn you far more in the long term than cheap writers with no talent.

Great advice, but how about a video? Do I buy videos to post where can I find videos I can post without search engines punishing me for duplicate content?

I have been known to create my own videos, and I've contracted people to make some for me. But you can also use other people's videos - providing you make it clear that the video isn't yours. I shared a video in a blog post from YouTube, for example, as part of a broader post. I wasn't duplicating content - I was simply sharing a video - the video creator still gets full credit, and if he/she was running video ads on that particular video, they still get the revenue. I introduced the video with something like "take a look at Mr X showing you how to make a super simple brood box". Generally, people want their video content shared - as long as you're not stealing it. If in doubt, message the creator and ask their permission to share. After all, although the video pops up on your site, it's basically an external link, so you're not plagiarising by sharing video content.

I'll tryout the free membership, thanks for the tip on how to create content. Steve

You have different options, some are already mentioned, what I also find helpful is Quora Digest

Another useful tool added to my content building arsenal. Got the App and logged in with Google+ Thank you. Steve

www.google.com/alerts Add this site to your bookmarks. This will send you an email ever time and article or video or anything is posted on the internet about Metabolic Syndrome. You type in the subject matter you want to be alerted about, how often you want to be alerted. Pick the ones you want and research. That is the nuts and bolts of blogging as far as I'm concerned. Research, write, promote and then do it again. Over and over and over again.

Awe some tool you're providing me, will help me get out of this content paralysis I'm in. Thanks a million! Steve

Will I be able to post videos from articles from other sources? Will I be punished by search engines, dropping in ranking, if I do.?

Steve

Absolutely.

Listen to Josh from Oz. Read, read read. Google your key words and read what others are saying. Usually they are talking about the things your reader will want to hear. Re-package in your voice.

Great advice, will start reading to repackage information. Thanks

I suppose the tortoise will win the race in the end. Well worth it the wait, thanks for the insight/info.

Research the niche. Become an expert in the niche. Read what others say about this niche and put your unique twist on it.

Why choose this niche? The content comes from you...your passion for the subject. I seriously recommend rethinking your niche if you cant think of content
