At WordCamp Belfast 2016, I have demonstrated live on stage on how you can use just Google to find endless relevant content ideas.
This is because I had a feeling that everyone is bored of hearing the same old cliché over and over again.
"Content is King"..."Create high-quality content"..."Blog regularly and consistently"..."Write for your audience"..."Content is Content".
But before we even think about how to write it, how to structure it and where to promote it, let's go back to the very beginning of the process.
What should you write about? Where can you find ideas?
The idea creation is one area where most people struggle with. But many people forget that the easiest and quickest way to find content ideas is on a website that we all use every day.
Google.
All you have to do is go to Google, think of the keywords or search query your audience uses and combine that with the various search "hacks" shown in the slides above.
No expensive tools, no constant check of your RSS feeds, no scraping the barrel to find ideas, no expensive tools are needed to be purchased.
Just use Google.
