Content Help
Hi there,
I have been having problems with writing.
I really do not have the hang of this writing thing. How do you write content?
I have lots of Main Ideas but I am constantly struggling with how to flesh it out. Some people say subheadings help. I think they do if you know what you are writing about, but that brings me back to what to write about.
For example: Anniversaries.
What exactly do I write about?
I have keywords/ ideas like “year one anniversary ideas” (more for each year) and I know there are traditions for each year but it has been done before. How do I make that my own? What is my angle? I struggle with this each and every day and each and every article.
I struggle to write even 700 words.
I know I am not the only one having trouble as I have been seeing posts asking for some kind of content help.
Does anyone have a template or templates for none review articles?
I have the basic one
Intro
Heading
Heading
Heading
Heading
Conclusion
But it is not a helpful one
Other than “best of”, ____Vs____, top (insert number here)_____ about ____, what do you write about?
How do you flesh out your ideas?
I want to say thank you in advance. I think the answers given here will help more than just me so don’t hold back!

Wow, Brianna! I need to write some of this stuff down--your post has started a flurry of good answers! I hope you get motivated and start flourishing in the writing department! (I know you will!)

I feel your pain! What is your niche? If for instance your niche is Anniversaries and you want to focus on the one year anniversary: but not do the same thing as everyone else.......maybe find some interesting stories about one year anniversary mishaps and how those mishaps made the anniversary memorable?
You could use the headings as 5 different one year anniversary experiences?
Just an idea!
I know it can be tough! You got this!

OOOO! Perfect! So maybe keeping on the "one year anniversary mishap" topic, have advice on some quick and easy anniversary gifts for those who have left the gift giving to the last minute? Then give 5 steps on how to get the gift on time?
Really, in all honesty, it takes time to get creative ideas for writing content, which is probably why my website has made zero money yet. I take forever to write a blog post and to get ideas. I don't post enough because of this.
However, lately I've been getting lots of ideas and those ideas usually come about when I'm driving, having a shower or laying in bed. I have taken to putting a pad and paper in my car and beside my bed. Maybe do that too so that if cool ideas come up you can write them down.
Then if you find these blog ideas fun and interesting, it will be a lot easier to write 1000 words.
That has been my experience.
Really informative and helpful post- it is so easy to forget ideas, so many times they pop in and out in a jiffy. Thanks for the experiential tips
yes! You think you'll remember the good idea, but you dont! That's why having a notepad nearby is helpful!
Good luck! You will figure it out and the more your write, the easier it gets... at least that's what ive heard. LOL!

Hi, I perfectly understand your concern.
This is why It's always good to choose a niche you're really passionate about, as it'll be easy to find topics and write about.
I believe you chose that niche because you like it.
In this case, how can you help people in your chosen niche?
Remember, if you want to make money, you need to help people.
What do they need that your niche can help them with?
You can use tools like Answerthepublic dot com. Or reddit, to find what people are searching in your niche.
Now, I personally don't have a template for a non-review article.
But I believe you should just try to cover the most important point of a particular topic. And use those points as headings.
"In this case, how can you help people in your chosen niche?"
I can help people by connecting to the right gift(s) but other than that I do not know.
"You can use tools like Answerthepublic dot com. Or reddit, to find what people are searching in your niche."
Thank you I do use answer the public and reddit! Like I said I have "main ideas" but fleshing out the actual content is where I need help!
You can read other blogs on the niche for more ideas and also solidify your ideas and then write from your own angle; whilst keeping keywords you've selected in mind.

Alright, I get it. That's why I just provided you with two links that may probably be helpful.

Have you tried writing your subject into Google to see what kind of articles you come up with? Just write "anniversaries" and look at what appears. If you see a couple of articles you like, take the main ideas and rewrite them in your own words. That way you make it yours. Hope this helps.
