Get Your Writing Creativity Flowing for the Best Website Content
Original content refers to online content. It is created by the person posting it. Content that is Original doesn’t have to be new information. But to keep readers, it needs to be interesting and creative with information that readers can’t get with ALL the other websites. Deciding to write your own content can be quite overwhelming and daunting. If you are having a heck of a time as to where to start or what to write about it might be as simple as taking a walk to get you creativity flowing.
A few tips of how to get started are asking other people. Make a list of your favorite blog posts and expand on them. Ask for ideas from friends and family, ask your readers what they want to know more about or interview someone and use their knowledge on a topic. Share your success (or failures) and knowledge with the lessons you learned, and the challenges you had to overcome…we all have them. Relive some memories and pick some of your favorite older posts and share them with new readers or old readers but with a new perceptive.
Many times, just writing about a topic will spark some ideas for readers.
Use name recognition. For example: What you can learn from (insert name) a famous actor or a character they played, sports figure, war hero, animal or a generalized person like mom or dad.
Write on trends that are happening here in the present. That will also draw readers to the site, since those will be popular topics that people are most interested in and browsing for in the quick moment.
Get your creativity flowing by going for a walk, watch a play, eat at a restaurant, go out in public and watch people— there are always interesting things to write about when it comes to people.
Write a personal story about yourself or someone you admire. People love stories and thrive to find a valuable lesson in it. Using an anecdote in the introduction will keep readers engaged. Ponder a favorite quote and expand on it.
Write Informative, Original, Natural, Persuasive Website Content
Providing content that sparks a lot of interest and comments will get the attention of the search engines. With the posts showing constant activity promoting regular updates is a great way for the engines to come back to your site regularly. So, to have engaging content leave the readers with questions to how they can implement this new knowledge. Have a promising and important introduction. Make them want to read, most people decide within the first few sentences to read on or not. Keep in mind most readers like to read non-fiction— to simply better themselves. They want to be helped personally, educated on a subject, motivated or inspired. Try to avoid fluff, most people prefer not to want to read tabloid subjects on websites.
Try to keep the content short and to the point, a long post is overwhelming and can deter the reader from moving on.
There is a melody of ideals out there to use for original content, whatever you’re interested in will surely be a success. LJ
QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE WRITING YOUR CONTENT:
- What do you want to tell your audience?
- What’ll be the main message of your writing?
- What is the purpose?
- What do you want your audience to get out of it?
- What do you want your audience to do after they’ve read the postings? Buy something? Continue reading posts? Engage and respond?
