Formulas For Writing Content Volume 1

December 3, 2010 - Last Modified: December 3, 2010 by Caleb

Content Writing Formulas

After reading my first two guest posts here at Famous Bloggers I am sure you would like some formulas to further extend on those crucial tips which is exactly is what this post is for. But first of all let me give you a bit background on me and how I came to these understandings. In elementary school some of my favorite Tv shows were Knightrider and Airwolf -which was basically the helicopter version of Knight Rider. I liked these shows so much that i started making little booklets containing my own versions of episodes I wished they had produced.

SIDENOTE: Wishing for things never brought satisfaction for me…even as a child I sought ways to make what was in my imagination real.

I role-plated the whole wished episode both mentally and physically. Then I took a regular piece of notebook paper, turned it sideways in a rectangular position and folded it in half; thus, making every notebook page into two booklet pages. On each half I wrote the segments of the episode until it was finished. I wrote the dialogue of the characters, drew pictures on some of the pages illustrating the dialogue, and everything… All this in elementary school! My classmates and teachers were amazed at this.

Around this same time I also wrote a lot of poetry, especially for girls.

SIDENOTE: It didn’t work then and it won’t work now, so don’t ever write a girl a poem thinking she’ll like you more…she will only end up clowning you and telling all her friends how lame you are.

Toward middle school I really got into rapping -a natural extension from poetry. I would see a story in my mind and then just spit it out verbally making every two sentences rhyme in sync with a beat which was usually supplied by a volunteer beat-boxer. Putting it on paper was easy. While in Theatre Arts, we competed with other schools by acting out scripts and I used to win superior trophies -the highest you could get- using acting scripts I wrote myself. A few years later, I had a stint as a minister and of course every sermon I did I wrote myself. Actually this was kinda like rapping except the words didn’t rhyme.

Taking all this into account, one might say I was a natural born writer. Well how come when blogging hit big, all of a sudden I caught writer’s block!?!? All of my previous experiences was filled with me blogging -just without the internet. Whether it was poetry, theater arts script writing, rapping, or sermonizing I was actually blogging my thoughts.

O.k. so-called Netrepreneur breathe slow…focus…what formula was I using to do all that blogging?

  1. I wished for something -usually a change in some area of physical reality that needed improvement
  2. Acted it out clearly in my mind
  3. Wrote down exactly what I saw and heard in my mind in the order that I saw and heard it
  4. Edited it to make sure it flowed accordingly,then
  5. Let people see and hear it to get feedback

Hmmm…is the above NOT the the essence of writing quality content which is absolutely necessary for driving traffic to your internet business❓

    when i get idea i first write it down and research and create a post....
  2. Jenn says:
    That's an interesting approach. I usually wind up scanning the news until I see something that catches my attention enough to report on or give an opinion on. Also, I'm sure to make sure it relates to my blog's theme. It can be bad for search engine visibility if you're not blogging around a theme, so any old post won't suffice!
    • Caleb says:
      Hey Jen, You're right..one should always stick to the theme and subject matter they know something about ;)
  3. Lucian says:
    Whenever i have an idea i write it down, and when i want to write i look at the list with ideas
    • Dennis Edell says:
      I draft mine immediately; no paper to lose. :)
    • Caleb says:
      And you can always just save your ideas or partial post drafts into your WordPress post editor by pressing 'Save Draft'. Afterall, that is partly what it's for anyway :idea:
      • Lucian Apostol says:
        The advantage of saving the draft is that you can add more details. I've used drafts but I still didn't published many of them as I tend to lose interest. But if they are on my smartphone I don't do anything else but write that blog post before I go to the next item in the list.
        • Caleb says:
          Of course my ultimate method which I mentioned in Finding Your Own Writing Voice when getting an idea in the spur of the moment is to record it using my cell's voice recorder ;)
      • Dennis Edell says:
        I just said that. lol O have nearly 700. ;)
        • Caleb says:
          Over 700?? Why not use some of those as guest posts :?:
          • Dennis Edell says:
            I've been considering that actually.
  4. Isabel Rodrigues - Pro Blogger Journey says:
    Excellent post. Agree with what you said
  5. Caleb says:
    UPDATE: Volume 2 is scheduled to go live tomorrow @ 1:15 cst on MSB :!:
  6. Michele says:
    Definitely the essence of writing an article Caleb! I find more and more, I actually write whole articles in my head before I write a single word of it down. Is as if your mind is looking for the solution to something, finds it, and then plays it out in your head. Very cool! Nice formula! ;-)
    • Caleb says:
      Is as if your mind is looking for the solution to something, finds it, and then plays it out in your head..
      You actually just described a Zen-type process of coming to enlightenment for any particular problem! I'm a firm believer everything comes from the mental realm before manifesting materially or as one metaphysical law puts it,"Things originate in the subjective realm onto the objective realm"..
  7. TJ McDowell says:
    One thing that I have to do is to make things seem big in my mind, so the issues become clearer. Is that something you do too? I know one friend who's really good at drawing and all kinds of other art that does this naturally, so you may not even have to think about it.
    • Caleb says:
      Well sometimes I do have the need to print things out from webpages then spread them out across my bed to get a certain flow of ideas...I guess this is sort of similar to corporate strategies usage of whiteboard flowcharts or how detectives put up pictorial clues on boards. It has been known throughout the ages that visuals aide learning best. This is one of the reasons hieroglyphics were so prominent throughout ancient Kemet(Egypt). As the saying goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words" ;)
  8. Mani Viswanathan says:
    I follow the first point whenever I think of some Social Change which needs to be brought out or given a look to.
  9. Lennart Heleander says:
    Hi Caleb, Always interesting to read about how other people are thinking when they create articles. I am looking forward the next section.
    • Caleb says:
      It will be published on MSB in this upcoming week so make sure you subscribe so you don't miss it!
  10. Patricia says:
    Hi Caleb I love writing and in my youth (a long time ago) I used to write my thoughts down in the form of poetry. Didn't give it to anyone, just for me. Love your article and will now go see what your latest post on your own site is saying. Thanks for sharing. Much appreciated. Patricia Perth Australia
    • Caleb says:
      You're welcome! Poetry not only makes for good writing practice, but it's also good for self-therapy.
  11. Dennis Edell says:
    Quite an enlightening story there Caleb, although I feel a little older now.....I was watching them in my teens. lol
    • Caleb says:
      They just don't make them like they used to .. I especially miss Airwolf!
      • Dennis Edell says:
        Acv good show indeed. A shame what Jan-Michael turned into though.
  12. Adam Mello says:
    Nice shearing William, it is great that you were able to find your method to write articles, this is something that can not be learned from somewhere else, you simply have to find it out on your own.
    • Caleb says:
      That's true, but the thing you can learn from studying others methods are the basic structures and creative steps which can always be applied ;)
  13. Rahul says:
    Very Nice post , interesting ideas and points !! loved the picture you put up there !
    • Caleb says:
      Glad you liked it..by all means fee free to share it with your social contacts :) As for the pic, you have to thank Hesham for that because while I tend to use the Apture plugin for most of my post pics at MSB, I don't know where he finds his..
