A Quick Tip for Creating A Blog Post or Web Site Content

Here is a very useful tip for those of you who are starting off with your Blogs and Web Sites.If you seem to be stuck for content and are suffering from Writers' block then a subscription to Google Alerts is a very good way of giving you the insider slant on any topic you choose.

In your own particular field you should have a good think about the keywords that reflect your own special niches and then create an "Alerts" account with Google for these.

Every morning in your inbox you will have a large selection of hot breaking news flashes from around the world that you can digest and then turn into an article or post or even a series of articles.

Be careful about the choice of keywords you select since you may end up getting mountains of news clips which have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with your subject.THis is the down side to this strategy ...it takes a little while to get a handle on it but belkieve me it will provide you with insights into your own particualr field that you missed or were unaware of.

As a person who has been known to suffer from Information Hyper-overload ...I can teel yo uthat you need to be very disciplined with this approach.Here are my top tips to getting the best out of this system.

(1) Read the Alerts before you do anything else when you open your e-mail inbox.


(2) Delete immediately the ones that are unrelated.


(3)Read quickly the ones that interest you .


(4) Copy and paste the article clip into a Word file with Date and Headline of your choice.

(5) If you don't have time at that moment to draft your article that's no problem you have a ever growing folder of content magic that you can refer to again and again.

(6)Keep a separate file that is at the top of your Inbox Folders so you can easily access this in an instant without trawling through the minefield of folders to find what you are looking for.

(7)Sometimes I find that i might get stuck into a rather deeper exploration of the particular topic than previously envisaged so I would part write the articleand come back to it later.

(8) One final point...if you want to keep cranking out fresh content and blog posts regularly you should discipline yourself to doing this first thing before you open your inbox every morning.Opening the e mail will just distract you. Get the article (from your previously filed clips) written and posted before you get stuck into that wonderful experience of the opening of the Inboxand you won't be wishing at the end of the day that you had written more.


One Article a day will put you up there with the most prolific of writers, web site owners and Bloggers and will get you much more traffic to your sites as time goes on.

Remember the purpose of this excercise is to inform your readers and subscribers and get them to recognise you as the one who they should do business with
