Article and Blog Marketing – How to Write Powerful Posts to Get Attention in Minutes – Part 3

This is the final part of creating hard-hitting content for your blog or anywhere you write articles, in minutes, and get over writer’s block just as quickly.

In the older article, I went over points 4 to 7 below. And before that, we go over 1 to 3. We’ll go over the last three, 8 to 10 in this article.

Here are all the points for your reference:

1) Realize that it doesn’t have to be a great post.

2) It doesn’t need to be a thesis or a masterpiece.

3) Take a little break.

4) Looking around.

5) Read articles.

6) Write a “twist” theme.

7) One on one.

8) Are you stubborn?

Ask yourself, are you stubborn? Be honest. Do you find it difficult not to intervene when an interesting topic is being discussed?

If not, you might want to consider sharing more of your point of view on things. If you have temporarily exhausted topics specific to your niche, try sharing an opinion on something. It could be an affiliate product, an article you’ve read, a website, or anything in general.

Points to consider when sharing your opinion:

1. Don’t come off as negative or disappearing. As tempting as it may be for you to hit someone you feel is inferior to your abilities, it doesn’t help anyone (including yourself) to hurt them. If you MUST disagree, be courteous, open-minded, and understand that your opinions are not facts, no matter how strongly you feel about them. They may be deeply held convictions, but they are yours and yours alone.
2. Share your opinion on topics related to your niche. However, this is not to say that you can’t occasionally delve into semi-related (or even totally unrelated) topics from time to time. For example, if your blog is about fishing and you suddenly decide you want to talk about volcanic activity, go for it. However, I would prepare your readers with a transition so they are comfortable with what you are talking about and it makes sense in the context of your blog. It’s most effective when you can relate the two together, for example, “You know, I was fishing the other day and there was this glorious red snapper on the beach next to me. It made me think of lava flowing from volcanoes.” from Hawaii… by the way, did you know that lava…? etc.
3. Unless your blog is specifically targeted at certain niches or you are a reporter, I would suggest avoiding talking about politics, religion, abortion, sex, or war. Loaded themes have their place. If you have a knitting blog, be smart! These loaded topics probably have no place in your blogging or writing arena. If you really must address these issues, do so tactfully. Personally, I would completely avoid them.
4. Be honest. Don’t tell your readers what you think they want to hear just because you think it will make them hand over their wallets. Honesty is priceless. If you don’t believe me, read “Just Say No To Money – Wisdom From The Silencer Boy”.

9) The Power of the previous articles.

Let’s just say all these tips so far haven’t done it for you and you’re STILL stuck. If you’ve already written an article, go back and read it again. Doing so will help fuel his thinking and spark his creativity, allowing him to think of more topics than he can talk about.

Don’t have your own items? Read to others as described in the previous parts of this series, and create a new article based on something they wrote. As a last resort, you can repost one of your “favorites.” Call it your classic post that has been requested as a forward and use it.

10) The “Spread” technique.

I like this one. It takes a bit of forethought, but it can help you create numerous items.

I often use this technique. In more than a few cases, I have separated my articles into parts (part 1, part 2, part 3, etc.). Instead of writing one HUGE article, I’ve broken them into different, more manageable sections. This is good for several reasons:

1. It gives you more content, or the appearance of more content, which establishes you as an expert or an authority. Just remember that it should be about quality, not necessarily quantity.
2. It may be more manageable for your time. Writing one small paper per day can be more efficient than writing a huge PhD thesis for 3 hours straight.
3. Your readers will look forward to the next installment you have, keeping them coming back to your site for more.
4. You create more activity on your site, more content, and Google and the other search engines love this.
5. Your readers will be able to digest more in smaller bites. Instead of being overwhelmed by your thesis, they can enjoy little bits of information. easy digestion
6. If you have managed to automate your blog and distribute it on free services like Facebook, Twitter, Squidoo, Youtube, etc., you get more exposure on a more consistent basis. This can only work for you if you know what you are doing.

As you can see, all of these tips, if applied, will help you produce the products with a little less effort. The key is consistency. Sometimes consistency is restricted by writer’s block, but now you have the techniques to overcome that.

So get down to business! Start creating your masterpieces at home and make Shakespeare jealous!
