December 3
I have been thinking about what to write about earlier, but nothing is coming into my mind. No inspiration. I was about to call it a night. It's already 10 in the evening. I have just made a short post a few minutes ago and bid good night. But I was hoping for a last-minute spark of an idea before I go to sleep.
And just as I was preparing to go hit the sack, the lightbulb turned on in my mind. I was wondering what to write about... so why not write about the most profitable topic to write about?
Greetings dear readers, sponsors, and authors. I am not a professional blogger. I tried in the past, but I failed in blogging many times. But I have been writing on various writing platforms for years.
Even before I fell in love with writing, I was already a voracious reader. And one of the 'topics' that I have been interested in was what's the most profitable topic to write about? And in this post, I will share with you what I have learned.
Disclaimer
The information that I will share here is based on what I have read from various sources in the past. The content will be based on the lessons that I have learned thus I won't be able to add some references. But maybe I will add some related refrences tomorrow.
There is no single profitable topic
Yes, this is one of the things that I learned. There is no single topic that is most profitable. There are billions of Internet users and not all are interested in a single common topic. So you can absolutely write about anything. However, you must know what your audience wants to read about. As the virtual assistant guru, Jomar Hilario (),
"Give what the fish wants"
Write about something that gives value
In my study of entrepreneurship and marketing, the most successful entrepreneurs are those who provide "value" to their customers. "Value" could mean the needs, solutions to problems, entertainment, etc...
Following this thought, as writers, what are the "values" that we can give to our readers. Based on what I have learned and personal observation, these are some of the types of articles that are most read (in no particular order).
Inspiration
In this time of uncertainty brought by the pandemic, many people are looking for inspiration. It doesn't have to be Biblical or scriptural. It could come in many forms. Like sharing how one went through struggles and life. Or how one achieved a milestone.
Useful knowledge - How-to's, lists (like lists of useful apps, or even useless apps to avoid), Reviews
I believe, here in read.cash, the tutorial types (how-to's) are the most read. Especially on how to earn and how to manage one's cryptocurrency. But of course, you have to have adequate knowledge on a subject and not just copy-paste or spin an article taken from the Internet and post it as your own. That is plagiarism and a big NO-NO here.
Reviews are also good. It could be movies, TV shows, products, or app reviews.
Entertainment
It could be a fictional story, a movie review. I read several fictional stories here in read.cash.
Something that triggers emotion
This could be a subcategory of any of the above. If your story can trigger the emotion, you will have a better chance that each reader will read through your article till the end.
Caution When Making Lists, How-Tos, or other fact-based Articles.
I have seen several writers here who lost their chance to earn. Why? Some of their articles are copied or spun (re-written) from other articles published elsewhere. You can always write about any topic that you may find interesting. But never forget to cite the source of your information or references. If you fail to do so, you are claiming ownership of that content or idea. That is plagiarism.
Final Thoughts.
I am observing the top authors here. Mostly they write about their passion. They write about topics that they are more than willing to spend time doing research and they share what they learn here. Of course, mentioning their references.
The communities for specific topics could also help to give you an idea of what to write about.
This is it for now. If want to add something, I would be glad to know your thoughts through the comments below.
