Stealing…er…Creating Compelling Content

May is almost over and the slow turning point from spring to summer almost can't be avoided in some places.

This early, I am already conjuring up images of a grand vacation in an island paradise somewhere, probably sipping a cold fruit shake with a cherry on top and decorated with a tiny cocktail umbrella while listening to the rush of the waves.

And I ask myself: If i get too occupied enjoying my vacation, how could i possibly write any compelling content?

Or maybe i should just write about stuffs i did during my vacation and enjoy reading my readers and follower's envious comments about it. (Not a bad idea, if i say so myself?) Although, there is also the thought of lugging around my laptop computer to my summer getaway wearing a straw hat, shorts, and sandals that could really put a blotch on the idea.

While my fingers danced around on my computer's keyboard, i found something interesting in a Copyblogger's site, a gem of a blog post that has gotten my mind into thinking some new and exciting ideas!

21 Ways to Create Compelling Content When You Don't Have a Clue

Feeling gutsy because of the great possibility that i can enjoy the summer break, I find this one to be the most interesting topic of all the 21 ways mentioned in the post: stealing content!

Of course, i don't mean stealing like taking it from someone without their permission. In the words of this Copyblogger article author, Danny Iny, it is simply just "borrowing with the author's blessing."

So, here is a small peek on what I have been forming in my mind that i plan on doing in the up and coming months in coming up with compelling contents as per Copyblogger's tips:

1. Curate content.

2. Ask friends for content ideas.

3. Ask my audience for content ideas.

4. Do an interview.

5. Solicit guest posts.

I already had 2 amazing guest posts so far, and i have my eyes all set on my third guest post!

And to end this post, I am asking my audience: is there anything that you want me to write about?

I'll stick around and see what compelling ideas you have in store!
