Great ideas for finding article material



Read More: Article Marketing

We hear of 90 Day challenges, 21 days to make a new habit and things like that.  Well, I took on the challenge to post 3 articles a day for 10 days.  Now, for some of you that may be a real easy smeeshee no-brainer and for others, you are absolutely irrevocably overwhelmed.
 
Where do you fit in that mix?  For me, on a scale of 1 to 10 with "10" being the no brainer, I was probably an eight, especially after I got a few tips.

How to find great content to post:

1. Write your own article.  Of course this is the best way.  However, some people know how to say what you would like to say so much better.  Just be sure you give them credit.

2. Rewrite, adding your own flavor to information you are interested in that speaks to you.  You can find great content in so many places.
    Books
    Ezine articles
    Well known people who write great content such as Randy Gage, John Milton Fogg, Richard Dennis, Wayne Dyer, Richard Brooke....to name just a few.
    Listen to trainings or find content on Youtube.

3. Write your own personal blog.  This does not have to be lengthy.  You are sharing your thoughts, life happenings, insights, wisdom with the world.

4. Use auto-suggestion.  There is great power in auto-suggestion.  Tell yourself something like this:  "I am a great writer.  It's easy to put my thoughts together in a systematic way.  Ideas are everywhere."  You will be amazed when your imagination comes up with many creative ideas you never thought of before.

Quite frankly, I was relieved when the 10 days were over.  Other daily duties took a back seat to the 10 day challenge.  It stretched me, but that's good because we don't grow unless we go beyond our normal and take on something outside our comfort zone.

Would I do it again?  Absolutely, but not anytime too soon!  lol
How about you?  Are you ready for the "3 posts a day Ten day challenge"?  I highly recommend it.
I will say one thing, it makes anything less seem like a piece of cake.

Go ahead, go for it!

I must say, writing that many articles would be overwhelming for me. Thank you for the great tips. The challenge seems a little more doable for me now.

Way to Go!

I rated myself a 5. Even though I blog, it really have me this overwhelming feeling to think of writing something new 3 times for 10 days. Plus the fact that I'm not on the ground for 10 days in a row. Listen to me any excuse....OK..I'm going for it. Starting today! One down. Thanks for the great tips.

Congratulations Lynn, Great Article BTW

Lynn, Hats off to you. You did it!! I knew you would do it. You are right about stretching. As Steven says, you deserve a medal and I also think everyone like Steven, Danny, Margie, Jasmeen, Michaela, and Stepahnie and all the other team members who wrote more than usual deserves a medal too. But you my friend, I knew you would do it. Congratulations, Lynn. Take care and God Bless
