Content Ideas And Resources For The Struggling Writer

Are you struggling to come up with content ideas for your newsletter every issue? It may seem difficult to write original material when so much has already been written in your niche. Don’t worry, when you write from your own experiences and in your own voice your articles will be unique.

 If you’re still not feeling inspired or you have too many other commitments to invest the time needed to come up with content ideas, there is another option.

Private Label Rights (PLR) Content is a great resource when you lack the motivation or the time or would rather invest your energy in other business activities. How does it work? Simply do your own online research using the search term ‘Private Label Rights Content’ to find the current top PLR sites. Be sure to confirm the content is professionally written and edited. There are a set amount of sales allowed per product (called licenses). When you have found what you’re looking for, click to purchase and download immediately. Once you purchase these articles you have the right to use the material in any way you want. You can use them as is or alter them in any way you need to. One exception, you cannot submit these articles to the article marketing directories as your own work.

When sourcing out PLR content keep in mind other ways that you can put this content to use, including sales.

Here are just a few ideas:

  • add new content to your blog

  • put together an ebook to sell from your website

  • create an ecourse to give away or sell delivered by autoresponder through your shopping cart

  • give away as a free report when someone signs up for your mailing list (also known as a ‘pink spoon’)

Do you still prefer to create your own original work for your newsletter? Just remember to publish consistently. It helps to have a publishing schedule to keep you on track by planning your publishing dates and content.

Here is a list of content ideas for those times when you are stuck about what to write about:

* A list of products you use regularly

* Checklists

* Do a reader survey and write about the results

* Event recommendations (i.e. trade shows, workshops)

* How-to’s

* Interviews

* Lists (i.e. “Top 5 ways to…,” “Ten tips for…,” “Seven steps to…,” “Top 10 ____ challenges,” “Top five reasons to …”)

* New service announcement

* Problem / solution

* Relevant industry news

* Review a book or product

* Seasonality

* The story behind your business

* Trends

* Useful resources

* Your creative process

And remember there is always Private Label Rights content that can be purchased at a reasonable price when needed. You can alter those articles in any way you wish to make them your own, saving hours of time and providing your readers with the information they’re looking for.
