Find Inspiration for Writing, Being a Freelance Writer or Book Author: Scratching Beneath the Surface!

So one thing that will make you stand out from other writers is the detail you go into in your writing. While condensed articles are great for on-the-go reading. People always end up searching around for more details on things sooner or later! And all it really takes to provide people with that in your writings/articles/content is to just scratch a little deeper in your research yourself. And basically, the deeper you scratch, the deeper down the rabbit hole you go? The more details that you'll be able to find out about and come up with on that subject. And here in today's lesson on 10+ Ways to Find Inspiration for Writing, Being a Freelance Writer or Book Author we'll touch on how to go about that and what I mean, in more detail!

The devil's in the details!

So then as a case example, if you search something online, you probably only check out the top 1-3 or 1-5 sites on it and then that's it right? But don't you dig a bit deeper? Because when you dig a bit deeper and keep on researching it and checking out tons of sites about that subject matter, you'll be able to embellish yourself with a ton of info on it those top sites didn't even include.

And these kinds of details can be in much more demand than the actual stories those big sites are covering. Think about it. Those sites are only showing what they're showing about it right now because those sites are the biggest ranking sites anyway. But some of them just put any old quick story and don't cover things in great details.

And this is what I do! When researching an article I'll dig deep and check out about 100 sites about it in couple days and jot down or even copy bits of what I've found and then use that all to write my own article on it but in much more detail. I'll basically take bits from everything and try to include everything in one.

That's what makes a GREAT story or read. Informative and insightful. Well detailed and well researched. And that's how writers and authors make a good name for their self as such and how their articles and blog posts get more shares and engagement than the others do too.

So if you're looking for ways to find inspiration for writing, then scratch beneath the surface in your articles! Go deeper and dig deeper in your research. It will come up with tons of ideas and inspiration, more than you can anticipate! And go on to make you a better, more successful writer and author.

And that completes today's lesson on 10+ Ways to Find Inspiration for Writing, Being a Freelance Writer or Book Author: Scratching Beneath the Surface.

• Search up something you're interested in. Some news reports or articles and go deeper and dig deeper about it.
