No matter what type of marketing you want to do, or niche you want to get involved in, knowing how to write content for your online business is a skill that is beneficial for everyone to know.

Although you can quickly generate visitors using paid traffic, creating content allows you to create a deeper connection, deliver value, position yourself as an authority, and so much more.

Once you’ve read this post, you should be armed with enough information to create valuable content for your online business.

Let’s dig in!

5 Super Simple Content Creation Ideas For Your Online Business

To help you create original content, I’d like to start off by giving you a collection of ideas you can use to kick-start the creation process:

Ask Readers What They Want - If you’ve already built a list for your online business, or have a regular crowd of visitors, ask them what they are interested in or want to see more of.

Share A Personal Experience - Sharing anecdotes from daily life is a great way to create some easy content, as well as show transparency between you and your readers ...
... (making it easier to bond with them).

Become A Content Curator - If you read a lot of blogs, make a list (or lists) of groups of top posts that are related to one another, add your own thoughts, and provide the links to each post.

Shoot A Quick Video - If you’re camera shy, create simple slide videos with information your market can use. If you have already written articles, consider recording yourself reading them and use that as a video.

How-To Posts - Like the one you’re reading, “how to” posts are a great way to share helpful tips on various subjects your market is interested in.

All of these are very simple ways to generate content ideas for your online business.

5 Tips To Quickly Write Content For Your Online Business

Although there is no literal “short cut” that will turn you into a professional write overnight, you can enhance your writing experience and improve your speed with some simple techniques.

#1 - Use a timer and practice doing your writing at a fast pace. Ultimately, this enables you increase the natural speed of your writing.

#2 - Put your perfectionism aside. When you first sit down to write content for your online business, don’t worry about proofreading your work or trying to polish each word as you go along.

(Doing so allows you to “churn” out your mediocre work and get extra ideas flowing...)

#3 - Enhance your work area. Think about what sort of changes or additions you can make to the area you work in, that will allow you to perform better. For example: specific types of music, more lighting, a favorite snack or drink, etc.
#4 - Narrow your topic. Try to hone in on ONE specific goal for each article, and focus on that. Once you have a main topic in mind, try to brainstorm several points to write about, and use them as an outline for your content.

#5 - Reward yourself. If you dislike writing and just need a jolt of motivation, why not use simple rewards?

Decide on a goal for each day you’re working on your online business, and treat yourself for accomplishing it.

Finally: 5 Resources To Dig Up Fresh Content Ideas And Current Topics

One of the best (but sometimes difficult) ways to create quality content your readers will love, is to keep things current and (of course) relevant to your target audience.

For example, someone writing content in the finance market would want to monitor popular blogs, forums, and social media accounts, magazines, etc. for current trends.

Here are 5 great resources you can use for your own online business content:

#1 - Amazon Best Sellers - Search Amazon.com for either a broad keyword or something specific within your market, and take a look at the recent best sellers to get an idea of what your market is currently interested in.

#2 - Google Keyword Tool - Use one or more broad keywords, and Google’s keyword tool will return a list of related searches that might show you interested topics that others in your market are looking at.

#3 - eHow - Search eHow.com to find excellent “how to” ideas you can write about.

#4 - Clickbank.com - When you want to get content and product ideas for your online business, Clickbank is a wonderful source of inspiration.

Visit the ‘marketplace’ portion of clickbank and you’ll discover a list of major categories. Once you select a main niche, you can browse the different products other vendors have listed for some great topic ideas.

#5 - eZineArticles.com - eZineArticles is an article directory with thousands of articles already available. If you get stuck for content ideas, try searching their database of content to find different topics you can write about.

Final Thoughts On Creating Content For Your Online Business

Once you start creating a consistent supply of content for your online business, you’ll eventually be able to reap the rewards (such as added authority, extra leads, free traffic, etc.)

If you are just starting out and don’t have a big budget for paid traffic, creating content is a great way to generate leads and organic (free) traffic.
