P.P.S. Click here to read WHY RemarkableBlogging.com was born! While most of the things might surprise you, there’s something which will definitely shock you..

Here’s why:

* when you learn how to get content FAST using Google, you won’t have to spend hours researching through other sources because Google will help you get what you want in record speed.

** when you learn how to deliver red-hot content by publishing enticing postings your readers will thank you for making their day because you give them what they want, fast!

Here’s one example of how you could use Google to get red-hot content ideas FAST:

use Google Alerts service and get the latest news content, blog postings and other cool links about your niche or sub-niche topics of interest. Did I tell you could get all these in your inbox?

“Search terms” is the first field you have to fill out. This is where you include a keyword (one, two or more specific key terms) targeting your niche or sub-niche. So you’d have to do some keyword research.

For example, if you’re into the “Blogging” niche, you could include any of the following keywords:

“blog terminology“; “blog platform“; “blog content“. You get the idea.

If you’re into the “WordPress” sub-niche, you could include terms such as “wordpress plugin”, “wordress template”. You know what I’m talking about.

You would include specific key terms based on the TOPIC you want to get content ideas about.

If you really want to be ahead of all your competiors and receive red-hot content, I suggest you select the “Comprehensive” option as alert type, and “Once a day” as the frequency of alerts (e.g. How often)

Today you learned an important lesson:

Google can help you get red-hot content ideas. It only takes a few keywords and an e-mail address.

Your mission right now is to implement this tip. And if you liked it, you’re going to love the next one.

Find out next. The answers might shock you and will definitely inspire you.

First of all. Who is Darren Rowse, right?

He’s the guy behind problogger.net running a successful “blogging” blog.

If I told you that just by visiting his blog, you could get (a ton of) new content ideas for your upcoming blog posts, would you believe me?

Hint – you don’t even have to have a “blogging” blog. This works for all the blogs in the blogosphere

If I told you that this little trick is something that 99% of all the bloggers out there are not using it, would you want to hear more about how you could use it for your own blog?

Let’s start:

This new content idea is simple to apply. All you have to do is this:

Get personal with your blog readers, the easy way.

You probably did not think to share a little about yourself with them. Now it’s about time.

For e.g. Darren shares his story – from hobby to profession on his about page

Just by reading his own mini-page, Darren could come up with new content ideas for upcoming blog posts.

Here’s how:

1. by creating a new post about whatever topic, tip, or link he shared on that particular page.
2. by talking about his blog network.
3. by sharing ideas about becoming a pro blogger

Sky’s the limit.

Now it’s your turn to create a similar page. This is where you share your offline story. Or something unique about your online venture. It does not really matter, for as long as it’s your own personal story.

Then add a link to it at the top of your blog.

The next move is to come up with new blog posting ideas and tips from that “about page”.

It’s easy – try it for yourself and share with us how it went.

And if you want to make your blog sticky and get more traffic, then read this tip!

Or the way Technorati calls it – “Think of a tag as a simple category name. People can categorize their posts, photos and videos with any tag that makes sense.”

The tactic is simple, all you have to do is this:

visit other people’s blogs in your niche or sub-niche field (using Google).

Type in one or two key terms related to your (sub)niche field along with “blog” (hint – both terms need to be within quotes so you would get more specific results)

Most bloggers are listing their top (or most popular) tags (hint – watch on each blog’s sidebars). Usually that’s done automatically or manually. This is not important.

What really counts is that these tags will help you get new content ideas because they include important key terms within specific niche TOPIC.

And you’ll be able to create top-notch blog content simply by spying (watching) on other niche related blog tags.

These bloggers have already did the hard work, so why not take advantage of this (prior) research and come up with new ideas for your blog postings?

Here’s how to apply today’s tip:

For example, let’s say your blog niche is “blogging“.

If you do a rapid spy on the top tags in the Remarkable Blogging sidebar you should grasp quite a few good ideas. You could write about “Google AdSense“, “Content Ideas“, “Blog Monetization“, and so on.

The bad news is that most bloggers don’t know about this little trick. Or they are too lazy to apply it.

You now have the power to implement this practical TIP on your own blog and come up with new content ideas, quickly & easily.

You see, a great way to get more BLOG traffic and readers is to show your real personality. Show you’re a real, breathing human being. And readers will start to like, know and trust you more.

And you know what happens when you do this.. Yes, you start getting better results and (hopefully) more sales.

Why? Because people buy from those that they like, know and trust. That’s a fact. Ask any smart marketer around and they’ll tell you the same.

Here’s a real question and I want you write a real posting next time you publish a new article, regardless your blog is about “blogging”, “online dating” or “forex trading”.

This works for every niche or sub-niche blog, period.

Here’s the million-dollar question – “What makes your blog unique”?

Write about it on your blog.

Here’s how you’d start. This is just a template, so feel free to tweak it and fill in the blanks to let your writing style shine through.

“I’ve firstly heard about this from Codrut Turcanu at Remarkable Blogging dot Com – http://www.RemarkableBlogging.com

So here’s a secret I want to share with you about my blog; what I believe that it makes it unique. I think you’ll like what I have to tell you as I never talked about this before.

“X” makes my blog unique. And here’s why.

To make the long story short, this is what I did.. “

Ok, that’s the template, it’s quite short and you’ll have to expand on it.

Here are more instructions:

1. change “X” with whatever you think that makes your blog unique.

It could be your overall design, or just your header; your topic or maybe your personal background and/or experience.

It doesn’t matter; for as long as it’s your unique benefit that you can share on your blog with your readers, it’ll do wonders.

2. You have to share the story of the little thing that you’ve said it’s unique about your blog.

For example, if you’ve mentioned that your template is unique about your blog, explain why it is so. Maybe you’ve hired a talented designer to craft your blog theme for you at low-cost and you’re happy with your decision.

You get the idea. The key is to share something new, unique and interesting about your blog, something which you did not reveal before.

It takes a few minutes (for some maybe hours) of brainstorming to figure it out what exactly to share on your blog based on the template and idea I gave you.

Good luck!

If you think about it, getting new content ideas requires you think, brainstorm and research.

Yeah, that’s a lot of time to be spend on each and every little detail as the tasks above. And most of us are lazy on top of that.

What if I show you a speedy way to get inspiration for new blog postings, would you follow me?

If I told you that you can use this little tactic on your blog today, would you want to try it out?

I’ll tell you about this in a minute. Just wanted to also mention another BIG benefit of using this tactic. When you do so, your blog readers are going to stick longer on your blog, thus increasing your chances to make more profits.

Ok, the answer to fast content idea generating is Flickr.com

This is a site where members upload pictures, snapshots and videos on all topics and niches you could ever imagine of. The concept is to share all this with friends and family.

FACT – in the last minute alone there were 5,282 uploads, that’s mind blowing!

Just by browsing through their huge database you could find cool pics and useful videos which could bring you a ton of new content ideas to write about on your blog. All you need is to use the SEARCH function and type in a key term or word targeted to your blog NICHE.

You could even use the pictures or videos on your own blog (just follow their terms carefully as you can’t publish anything from Flickr on your blog, especially if it’s commercial in nature)

When you publish Flickr related content, you know what happens – your blog READERS will definitely stick longer on your blog, thus increasing your chances to make more profits.

Imagine this – when you add cool, eye-catching and ‘related’ images to your blog postings, folks would be curious to find what other pictures you’d publish in upcoming posts.

I guess that’s a subconscious thing, and it works like a charm, at least for my blogs.

Try it – and thank me later on. If you liked this tip, refer it to your friends and Digg it!

One thing that almost no one knows about blogging is that biographies can help you come up with new content ideas FAST.

Here’s why:

“Biographies and autobiographies are great ways to learn more about inspirational people. From Randy Pausch to Steve Jobs, the accounts of people’s lives really can serve up plentiful amounts of information,
ideas, and motivation.” (source – Performancing.com)

I’m a BIG believer in learning from those who already did what I’d like to learn, or got the results I’d like to achieve myself.

That’s why whenever you have the chance to learn from the pros, those who have been where you want to be prior you, you better devour their materials like there’s no tomorrow.

When you’re reading someones biography you get to know that persons failures and successes.

You won’t have to go through what that person has gone, so it’s a great way to avoid the costly mistakes and shortcut your learning curve.

I lost the number of how many times I got inspired by someone else biography to manage my own business or take it to the next level. I lost track of the numerous situations in which these books helped me come up with new (killer) blog postings.

KEY Idea – if you think about it, just by reading someone’s book title or its first page you could get a few enticing content ideas for your upcoming blog posts.

Try it and let me know how it worked for you.

Here’s an even easier idea if you don’t have time to go at the library or buy books from Amazon.

Visit Amazon.com magazine section and look through listings in whatever niche your blog is related to.

Browse the titles and within 5 minutes you should come up with more blog post ideas than you could handle.

Here are some ‘amazon/book’ related blogs:

Apply the Blog Post Secret.

This is not a blog post automator trick (aka posting “automatic” content).
This is not about writing random thoughts or ramblings.

Anyone can implement this on their blog. It’s the best blog post secret that I know.

Those who are not using it have a big disadvantage because they’re missing a ton of new opportunities.

Here’s what I’m talking about:

running e-mail (text based) interviews with fellow experts or blog owners in your niche.

For example. If your blog is about police dog training, you could create an interview via e-mail where
you ask the owner of a similar niche-targeted blog 5-10 questions about how to train your police dog without paying for a professional.

If your blog is about blogging, you could get pro bloggers answer 5-10 key questions about blogging and how to monetize your content (like I’ll do within a few days myself on this blog)

If your blog is about adsense, gather a list with fellow adsense bloggers or site owners, and e-mail them your 5-10 question interview.

You get the idea. This works on almost any imaginable niche topic, and for any type of blog.

How do you know what questions to ask in the interview?

That’s easy. Spy on similar interviews . Do a google search: “niche” + “interview”. You would get quite a few ideas from different niches, not only yours.

Or, wait until you see how I interview these bloggers, and copycat my interview formula.

The biggest advantage of running an interview with other bloggers and site owners is that besides having new content to publish on your blog, you also get traffic when the interviewee decides to add the interview on his own blog, or link to the interview directly on your blog.

In 8 out of 10 times, that’s what should happen.

Now that you see the key advantages of using this blog post secret, start running interviews with folks in your niche.

I guess that’s not a secret anymore.

Here’s a blog which I visited recently and deliver great tips about the Honest Truth About Making Money Online

The site is runned by a 18-year kid from Vietnam. That’s quite interesting, what do you say?

P.S. An interesting article Does Your Next Blog Post Matter? was published on ProBlogger.net

Read it and tell me what you think.

a few days ago I heard about a cool service called ChipIn – so I’m blogging about this. I guess it was via other blogs, I’m not sure – but usually that’s how I get new content ideas…

I even created a page on ChipIn which is something basic but they say you could add new content, pictures, and video stuff to it later on. So it’s worth giving it a try.

Still not sure? Obviously you want to know what this is all about, right?

Here’s what ChipIn does in a nutshell – and how it helps bloggers – straight from the horse-mouth:

1. ChipIn is a web-based service that simplifies the process of collecting money from groups of people (via PayPal)

2. it allows anyone to collect money for a personal cause, group purchase, or fundraiser using their own custom ChipIn page

3. it enables bloggers to create an interactive widget that allows them to raise money directly through blogs and other social media

4. it empowers non-profit organizations to engage a distributed network of supporters in “blograising” campaigns for major fundraising efforts.

The best part? It’s 100% free.

You’ve probably noticed by now what I am collecting money for (I need those within 20 days) – check out the sidebar widget on the left side of this blog!

Would you like to show some love? ChipIn some dollars straight to my paypal account

Would you like to give this a try on your blog too? What are you waiting for then?

Send me your feedback – is this something which you find it cool or you think it’s just a waste of time?

At least, I see here two advantages – I got a new blog post idea, and have added a widget which allows me get funds for my goal.

The third advantage is that you heard about it, and you’d want to start using the service too.

P.S. If you think this was a PAID blog review, think again. I’m not writing a paid review even if they’d pay me $500-$1,000 in real cash! I prefer to exchange blog reviews with friends and fellow bloggers.

Will NEVER write about a service, product or blog which I don’t like personally

P.P.S. Here are some “ChipIn” related resources:

ChipIn – The Easy Way to Raise Funds Online

This is barely legal. Ok, I do NOT recommend anything illegal so this is not about stealing content and adding it on your blog if that’s what you thought.

Is not that easy. Nobody would like to be called a sblogger, right?

What I’m proposing to you is to visit Amazon.com and lookout in the books section. Another post I created a few weeks ago talked about getting inspiration from biographies…

This time you’re going to check out the top 10-20 books in your niche and copycat content ideas right on the spot. How?

Just by looking at the cover, or a (sub) headline. It’s easy – try it. I am doing it. Others are doing it. What about you?

I want you mention right here on this blog, in the “comments” section, the post you wrote on your BLOG that got inspired from an Amazon book, all right?

I am eagerly waiting so start writing that post, then come back here and link to it…

Stay inspired!
