Once upon a time, I had no idea what to write on my blog. Coming up with blog article titles was slow and painful.
That was 10 years ago.
Now, thousands of articles later, coming up with topics is easy. Not only do I publish articles on my two blogs, but I also publish hundreds of guest posts for dozens of publications.
Wondering what happened along the way that made this process so much easier?
I’m going to pull back the curtain on how I’m able to generate so many topics, and explain what it means to choose great article topics. I think you’ll find it helpful.
Know your target audience.
Let me deal with first things first — the “best possible blogging topics” are the best ones for your audience.
Everything comes down to your audience. In fact, there is nothing more important, essential, and critical to blog success than knowing your audience.
The story of my own blog is a testament to this fact. The longer I write my blog, the better I understand my audience. I read and respond to blog comments. I take time to read emails from my readers. I listen to what they have to say.
Make relevance your guiding light.
I’m going to introduce a concept, and then explain how to do it: Relevancy.
Relevancy is nothing new. It’s popular to talk about relevancy and the need for relevancy in content marketing … but hang on a second.
Find a blog to steal from.
Someone once said, “Good artists copy. Great artists steal.”
If you want to pick absolutely stellar topics, then go to the blogs that are already doing it and pilfer them. Lest you think I’m going nefarious, allow me to explain …
I absolutely oppose anything remotely connected with stealing content or intellectual property. What I do suggest, however, is to identify a blog that is doing it right, and follow their example. Here’s the process:

So the blame is on Google? That makes no sense at all. A writer should know that it can take months if not years for their articles to be de-indexed from Google. Is that Google’s fault? No. That is just how things work. Now a writer can ask Google to de-index their articles earlier but they are not obliged to do so. Why would anyone want to share the same article from one site onto another site? All material should be fresh and new. Even if it is just your blog.
On EliteWriters, for example, if someone claims an article is plagiarized the owner wants to see proof of such claim. The owner will then check to see the links if any is given and go from there. If an article is found to be indexed on another site then it can be deleted without any warning. That is why it’s good to read the rules before a person gets started on any site.
-
When sites do not pay and the account there is deleted those sites where those Blogs are reposted could check. Barring the title the article does not show on the net. That much patience site owners should have.
-
-
The write of this article says right that posts are deleted by saying plagiarism giving no proof of plagiarism to the writer. It is not a good thing for the writer. I give my example, I posted my own written Sonnet and Ode but I was told that is is plagiarism. I request my humble readers that anyone can write my name in Google (jhsayyar) and find mind Urdu and English block on which I have written 463 Sonnets, 53 Odes and couple of hundred articles written on cricket matches prediction and songs how my own poetry may be plagiarism?
-
The writer is the backbone of a writing site and when accusations are hurled documentation is necessary
-
-
The site owners forget that it is the writers that sustains them. And they have to respect writers that they fully deserve.
-
Many sites do have plagiarism checker. Thee is a separate software also. It scans every article and co relates the source of the text of it is plagiarized. I do not know why these social blogging sites are not entertaining them. They need some additional staff also for this job as you said.
But one thing is acceptable that plagiarism is not advisable under any circumstances. If some sites show discrimination in the payment like 1st, 2nd, and 3rd it is left to their own conscience. They definitely one day or the other will be paid in the same coin as happened to Bubnlews. The site is no more now.
-
I think writing sites ought to invest a bit in persons who sometimes randomly check posts for duplicated content apart from checker softwares.
At times, huge volumes of posts or articles can present issues but then keeping users happy should be the topmost priority. -
Excellent post. As indicated, Bub had it’s pets. These pets were the Shills who brought in warm bodies. These pets would race from site to site shouting; “I always got paid!”
Hubpages suffers the kind of ‘pet’ situation in which other ‘writers’ will mark down your work so that it is ‘unfeatured’. This prevents you from earning revenue and allows them to write an almost plagiarised version of your work.
Where writing sites abuse their writers, by not paying, low paying, long moderation periods, the writer will contribute elsewhere, which, of course creates the cycle of decline.

Yes. I do accept that memory loss may be due to many problems like diseases, vitamin deficiency, improper bone growth, improper diet, depression etc.
Nearly 90-92 cases constituting Insomnia, obsessive anger, high blood pressure, memory loss, Alzheimers are due to only depression as per the Massicheutus University study report.Of all the memory 53% people approach a doctor with a complaint of low memory .
The only tool to halt this problem is meditation. The study report says that this is the meditation that has got the power to control depression.
How to do it?
Just take a mantra or a word of any deity of your choice and recite it for 10 times regularly. It will control the brain reaction to the weird problems.Besides this, taking a good food can also work as an effective tool.
Taking Almonds, using herbs like Belladonna, Saraswati Churna etc. will definitely control the memory loss.
-
Thanks for adding more tools. Keeping our mind active to my mind is one of the best ways besides ofcourse eating the right kind of food.
-
-
I know that people who use brain and sharpen it with any activity that includes thinking, observing and memory have their brains not only trained but also maintain mental health longer.
-
Brain exercise like any other is essential to take care of loss of memory
-
-
When we look around and see those who are inflicted with bad memory they are those who never exercise their brain.
-
My kids love to play the card games, they just enjoy it without care about any intention. However, for the aging group, these kid of card games or even Mahjong, which is famous in Chinese group, heard can help them in brain exercise, thus prevent memory loss or Alzheimer’s disease.
However, I believe, physical exercise with sweating, i.e at least 30 minutes per section can help in making our mind fresh and healthy, and enhancing our memory power.
-
i agree with you. There are many more activities that can help retain memory including a proper diet.

Sweet Potatoe is very rich in Iron which is very useful for Red Blood cells in the body. It is not a vegetable preferred by Scheduled castes and Scheduled Tribe people. Everybody likes it very much.
The correct method of cooking is to boil it along with Jaggery. Jaggery is also rich in Iron. One works on blood cells and the other improves the flow of blood.
-
I like to eat sweet potato cooked in jaggery and coconut. Sweet potato was considered food of the poor once upon a time.

i love sweet potato even when I was a child, and until now I still eat kamote– I read a book that sweet potato is good for ulcer. There are more than varieties of sweet potato as I see it everyday, that includes the yellow, purple and even the skin have different colors also, it also differs with sizes. There are sweet potato best for its young leaves though most are for it root crop. My favorite is the yellow skin with an orange color, this is the sweetest kind of them.
-
Thank you for reminding me about leaves. I have a few creepers and must remember to cook them.

You heard Oprah Winfrey singing the praises of the sweet potato? I was watching a TV chef cooking contest and the chefs were invited to pick anything from the White House garden and prepare it for the judges. The chefs also met with First Lady Michelle Obama – she’s the reason there is a White House veggie garden – and one of the chefs asked if she had a “favorite” from the garden. Guess what she said? Sweet potato! Not just a fave her but for her whole family. I love sweet potato too!
-
Sweet potatoes are VERY common in the US as a dish to eat, and they are sold on every corner in every grocery store, even way before Oprah said anything about them.
They are a very common dish. People eat sweet potatoes all the time, especially around November for Thanksgiving where there are thousands and thousands of sweet potato pies sold and eaten during this season. Which reminds me, I need to go and get some for myself soon!

Before going on a foreign holiday we all have to go through medical check ups. I was referring to short term irritants that can affect our health due to lack of proper planni
ng. -
yes. A good list giving almost all the required and essential items. Above all health is the first and foremost factor which one should pay attention to before taking up a travel to foreign countries. A healthy person can get along with any kind of situation and can come out successfully. It is here most of the people fail to pay proper attention and they will have all sad memories of their travel experiences.
But, getting a companion of equal tastes, hobbies, and habits is the most important among all. But the chances for getting a good companion are only 2-5%. You can get anything . You can manage anything by saving. But you can not get a good companion. It is always your luck and depends on how you reciprocate with others during a tour. So do not build any expectations regarding this aspect. You have to search for a good friend or companion while you are on the go only.

You have the right definition of what it means reaching out to the needy.
-
I feel the same way I wish I could help so many people out and it feels like if I don’t have the time it’s almost like I don’t have the extra money to give out makes me feel so bad at times
-
Money is not the only way in which help can be extended. There are so many opportunities we get to reach out. Even a kind word can make a difference.
-
-
yes. Need is a continuous activity. But a want is an emotional phenomenon that starts after the minimum needs are fulfilled.
Once a man’s needs are fulfilled he looks for wants. At the same time, he becomes financially independent. This means the chances of getting help become narrow. But, our social and political system do not encourage it. It is their attitude and wants to see that a person’s wants are never fulfilled. They should continue their lives at the mercy of friends, daughter, in lawsetc.,
-
TBoth the government and social workers prefer if people are always in need so that they get to ‘tower’ over them.

I am a lifetime member of YMCA and Y’s Men’s Club international,I am trained to extend help to the needy. I also feed street children every Christmas. I never hesitate to donate goods and clothing to victims of flood. I was once the President of the Rotaract Club during college and training to help the poor started during my young life which until now those never depart from me. I love humanity.Children and old are helpless, they are what God wants to be helped by active humans.

you have rightly said that food has got immense value. We should not waste food and throw it on the road. The leftover food can be made use of preparing a variety of dishes. This being the concept people are very much after the dishes prepared from leftover food.
Peop;le are accustomed to using the dishes made out of leftover food. They are enjoying the taste of it. It has become a big problem. Parents can not give such stuff regularly wasting the food. The fresh ones are not giving them the taste. We should tell them what is what openly.
This does not mean that all such stuff available in the restaurants are made of leftover food. They prepare and give it a right taste. Sometimes it is also possible that they prepare these dishes using leftover foods in the restaurant to get huge profit.
-
Totally agree with you, that every kitchen has leftover, some times because not all the food can be finished by the kids or family members. They might have a lot of excuse, they were full, they had no appertise. The cook or mummy is always the one whom clear all these.
If not, innovation is a must grab skill by then. I used to fry the left over white rice. This is the most common way I can think off to clear my overnight white rice.
Some of the mummies deep fry the white rice in small piece to make them crunchy as a snack food.
If there is meat left over in the soup, I will keep it and mix into my fried vegetables.
The rest, just go and see how’s the mood during that time. I hope not to waste the food as there are so many refugee whom without food in Africa beside save some cost of food in my family.
-
Even I dont like wasting food at all. When ever i try to do it a sudden picture of those who sleep empty stomach every day comes to my mind. I hate to even think about it.
I loved your idea about turning left over chapatis int chips.
I will try it for sure.
I try to use all left over veggies in vegetable cutlets the next day.

I just found out that my HDL is low and my LDL is high but my triglycerides were normal. I know I need to make a change but I just don’t know where to start.
If you like wine go for red wine and see the difference. My doctor recommended that i take 190 ml on five days of the week. You can increase your exercise as well among other things that i have written about.
Good wishes are on their way.
yes agree with you.and thank you for sharing useful information ,now a days because of the unhealthy food these kind of problems occurs in our body.
We have so many pleasant choices and yet we choose the wrong path.
I feel bad that I was ignorant about cholesterol. My husband now has a heart condition and I worry if I could have changed our eating habits earlier on and prevented it. The thing is there were no warning signs. He was hardly ever sick. Even though heart disease is in his family, I thought his chances were minimal because he did not have the same bad habits as his father (mainly drinking and smoking). When he was diagnosed, I was completely taken aback. But I’ve since then adjusted and our diet has changed quite a bit. I had to change my diet to make sure he would change his. What are wives for? 🙂 We always look for natural ways to attack health problems.
There are so many happy ways to keep our health in check. Nature is kind.
I really wonder whether our old people really followed the tips that are mentioned in the article? No . Definitely ‘No’ is the answer as we all know. But how could they live for 80 and 90 years. What is the secret behind their living for good length of time? There is no answer that can give satisfactory explanation. THE IGNORANCE IS A BLISS THAN HAVING A KNOWLEDGE.
The tips MENTIONED in the Article may be useful for keeping us fit because we do not do physical exercise. There are people who do not walk properly. All bad habits. Besides this we got a fear complex of Diabetes, blood pressure, kidney problem.Unfortunately, the Doctors are having do not having good standard. They know how to refer a patient for a medical tests and get their commission.
I think doing some yoga regularly and nourishing the body with the tips enumerated in the article above will definitely keep one live long.
That is what I said in my post. My mother never knew there was such a thing as cholesterol and she lived beyond 90. Now that we know a bit about it, it haunts us.
Yes, it be cured naturally by everyone at home talking many positive exercises at homes on daily basis. Cholesterol is not a deadly poison, but a substance vital to the cells of all mammals. There are no such things as good or bad cholesterol, but mental stress, physical activity and change of body weight may influence the level of blood cholesterol. A high cholesterol is not dangerous by itself, but may reflect an unhealthy condition, or it may be totally innocent.
I think that In certain aspects low cholesterol is worse than high cholesterol. Already fifteen years ago, American researchers found that low cholesterol predicts an increased risk of dying from diseases of the stomach, the intestines and the lungs.
Children with allergic problems, such as asthma and hay fever, have lower cholesterol than healthy children. As allergic diseases have become more common and is still increasing in the Western world it is tempting to suggest that the cause is the increasing consumption of the polyunsaturated vegetable oils of the omega-6 type, because these oils are known to stimulate inflammatory processes, and allergy is a kind of inflammation.
