How to Write Blog Posts No One Else Can Compete With

[@ggnics8578]

Thanks for your video highly appreciated.😊

[@EmmaCruises]

I just wrote a post (for UCW) about what shape cruise ships are under the water, I actually went under a cruise ship to find this out. That's as unique and original as I can get! Not toooo many people can copy that, I hope! ;)

[@kevinfreeman9652]

Emma when I saw this I had a visual of you scuba diving under a cruise ship. I thought oh my.....how dangerous. Then I realized there were other ways to do this after I read your post on this. But it was interesting to think out. Great job being original

[@EmmaCruises]

Haha!! That does sound dangerous indeed, I don't think I'd recommend that. Although being under it (even without the water) felt dangerous too, I know it isn't... but the ship was about 20 stories high, just balanced!!! SO scary :')

While watching this I wrote down no less than 12 ideas for blog posts after feeling stuck for ideas for a few weeks. Thanks 👍

[@COLOMBIAFRANK]

I absolutely agree! I write about traveling in COLOMBIA and living in Bogota and running a travel agency, I know my stuff. Doing some online research, there is not only superficial information but stuff that is just wrong and it got copied and copied over again from travel bloggers that just wanted to publish some content about the country. I am sure, mid term I will outrank all of them and it will be impossible for them to compete with my content. But so far, ranking takes time and the other ranking factors still beat me. good input, thx Rick Cheers from Bogota

Been binge-watching your youtube videos, a lot of valuable insights and nuggets that I would have expected to be behind a paywall, but the fact that you are providing this knowledge for free, makes me believe that the content you do provide behind a paywall must be gold.

[@carolinemullan2781]

You are my favorite SEO because you teach people not just specific things but you teach how to think for yourself and its much more far reaching and valuable. The way that you work is bullet proof because it creates true value that can only increase in time instead of turning bad when Googles algorithm becomes more nuanced, which it continuously does. Kudos and thank you.

[@LisaTCanada]

OMG, I so agree with you. I'm a freelance writer and understand how to research studies/news items and write ORIGINAL content, not just regurgitating other peoples' stuff. Thank you for providing common sense to your users.

[@LisaTCanada]

Also, please, everyone: don't assume your audience is only American. I find that happens so often i.e. the blood test blog post.

[@marcelinoespartero7780]

These are the best KZbin videos I've seen about blogging.. Thank You.

[@megansmedia9034]

Do Original research instead of just replicating what's already out there. 1. Consolidating information available on the web but analysing it. - if it can be found in 10mins on Google it's not original research or if a blogger can do a post about it in an hour it's not original research. 2. Run an experiment Example with a product review testing how hot the product gets with usage. 3D printer tested power consumption then compared it to other appliances even adding how much the power costs. 3. Product review (comparison) Example, RBG light comparison, how long the battery last, testing the color and light etc. 4. Interviews If the person being interviewed and the content is interesting to people that's ok. Or focus on a specific topic then use quotes to make your points in a blog post. Example 4 vets interviewed about dogs claws. Aggregate data from a quiz or poll, run poll in Facebook group, find trends and data. Create graphs and tables etc. Example micro green grow lights - most people use 40 watts etc 5. Expert knowledge Example top 10 attraction parks and what ages each is catered to written by someone who had been to all the different parks. Thanks so much for these tips

I love this advice. I used this method in two content pieces not long ago. One was comparing the most popular page builder plugins for WordPess.

Awesome video! I am a member of the P24 and I have to admit that I am guilty of creating average content but this video has inspired me to create better content. Thanks Ricky!

[@Dash277]

It's a tough trade off between doing all the original research and leg work, and getting out articles at scale. Finding the balance between the extremes of one really good article a month, or 100 a month that are mediocre. I've been researching the topics, having the articles written, filter through an editor.. and then adding something unique to it. Data, a table, a graph. It's tough though when you're trying to produce 30 articles a month.

[@willpeachable]

100% agree. Imagine the wasted ROI pouring hours into one of those posts only for 10 other shorter, more targeted pieces to swamp it in traffic. This approach is only really viable when you're already generating income and have the data (from the mass volume approach) to know, more precisely, what's likely to be a hit.

[@dankay7982]

My experience is that google values quality much higher than quantity. I know what the income school teaches but I agree only somewhat when it comes to the frequency of publishing. One major original piece, well researched and unique is worth five mediocre articles - in my humble opinion of course.

[@ryanbrown1181]

I have been binging your content again recently. Something I've been wanting to find out from you... what do you think about SEO content editors like Surfer SEO? I have a company that writes outsourced blog content for businesses and I've been considering investing in Surfer specifically. Any thoughts?

[@Jiwonsharma]

I guess putting a table and graph, chart are a good option

[@JayMaverick]

As long as the content in the table and graph and chart are well researched and helpful.

This video is an excellent example of original content on KZbin! I understood the original research thing, I just do not understand how all these can be done in 4-8 hours.

[@danielmartin7873]

These all seem like VERY niche "Response" Posts (as you call them), which makes me wonder if it's worth putting this much energy into. If it was a Pillar post, sure. I get that. These examples just seem SO specific... I must be missing something.

[@stewartmackay]

I agree completely with everything you say here, but I would say one other thing. In previous videos, you guys implied setting an hour aside for writing a blog post. I'm not saying something can't be written in an hour, but realistically I think it takes 2-5 hours to write a quality blog post that will actually get somewhere on google. I aim to create one piece of good content per day. For example, today I wrote a piece for my UK property based website, I started at 07.30 and it was 2.30pm when I actually finished. I have a working system where I never publish on the same day, I publish the next day, so tomorrow morning I will pop in & give it a fresh look before publication. This allows for any last minute changes and additions.

[@ssamuel408]

If I am not mistaken, an hour is mentioned in their course.

[@michelleh4717]

it's an hour for a response post, there's other types of posts too though

[@ramannabs6163]

I think about original research many times in this women fashion blog, but do not get ideas on what type of topics can be there in a fashion related blog. Yes, I found the costs of different type of places and prices, sometimes different latest styles around in other pinterest/instagram, but beyond that what?

[@DoneHQ]

Ramanna, I don't know your exact niche, but maybe you could do things like skirt vs pants in an interview (which got better results--there are studies on these things) or best bra straps that don't fall off your shoulders (do your own research if it's not available), etc. I bet there are a lot of questions people have.

[@JosephQuinn1981]

So the idea about creating a database is one I've had for the last two weeks so I'm glad you mentioned it. So my idea is to create a database about a very specific software and create filters that would help them choose the best option for their situation. I would be creating a custom post type specifically for this and a custom taxonomy called "features", then create a filter for this features taxonomy which would allow them to filter thier options by specific features they are looking for. This is something that would be developed and added to over time. The difficulty is deciding which features I should be adding. I mean I have some ideas but I was thinking of visiting a FB group and asking which features people look for in this software and adding the most sought after features. There are many websites that provide a list of this software but none that allow you to filter them by features. What are your thoughts on this idea?

So, are we to understand that your famous dirt bike trail video on how to write a blog post in an hour to 90 minutes is now out of date? Or is there still value in starting with that approach to get data on what people are really interested in?

[@willpeachable]

THIS. The ROI on this approach is completely pointless if nobody ultimately cares about the topic/theme. Take it from someone who does both things and experiments across sites.

[@IncomeSchool]

I agree. It’s not out of date at all. Original research helps you create unbeatable content. But you should write easier content as well. It’s not one or the other. You need to know what people want before it’ll be worth spending the time and effort doing in depth research. That said, some of these ideas actually take very little extra time and have no cost. So why not do them even on a new site?
