I am starting a blog on topics related to freelancing. How do I research for my content? Please help me out

I am using AI to create outlines and stuff for the blog. But seeing this recent Update I have decided to write by myself and not AI. But I'm stuck on where I get information about my blog or how I create unique content which no one has talked about.

Do keyword research.
Find low competition keywords.
Focus on keywords like how to do things.
Take screen shots of you doing stuff.
Create blog post.

Maybe interview some actual freelancers and then identify their problems, issues and experiences and then create content around that.

Great idea, but it could be time consuming.

Unique insights come from unique experiences. Talk to freelancers, read books and resources about how to grow in a freelance market, check out networking events, see what other creators are talking about in your niche and remix/add to it based on what you have learnt from your research.

Unfortunately theres no substitute to hardwork. You can automate some of the processes by using AI tools like, summarizing tanscripts of existing interviews of freelancers, using differenrt kinds of prompts to get some unique insights from a language model like chatgpt, use some RAG tool to generate answers from the context of a book etc, but you HAVE to put in the time or pay someone to do it.

If you are not sure how to begin, you can start by sharing your personal experience. Also try to interview industry experts to get some insights. You should stay updated on industry news and trends to get new ideas for your content.

The first thing I would do is reverse-engineer all the blogs that are already tackling the freelancing niche.

Please understand that freelancing is a very broad niche.

There are many verticals there.

So focus on, I suppose, the vertical that would make you decent money while at the same time isn't all that competitive.

This is a little bit tricky to figure, so you can use SEO tools like Ahrefs or Semrush to look for keywords that have a decent difficulty: fairly easy to rank and have a monthly search volume that can add up to a decent amount of cash.

You have to balance those two.

And then once you figure out the set of keywords, load them into Google and pay close attention to the content that you are seeing.

I'm not talking about just technical information.

I'm not talking about just raw bits and pieces of data.

You should be doing that regardless.

Instead, also focus on the emotional state that you're getting.

What is the experience that you're getting?

Does it give the would-be freelancer a lot of hope?

Does it make it seem that the whole freelancer journey is not only doable but is worth it?

Do you see how this works?

When you build a site using content that has that emotional payoff, you stand out from the competition.

You're not just giving them info that they can pick up somewhere else.

Instead, you're giving them an experience.

This is the key, and a key part of the experience, of course, is proper formatting, having the right audio-visual elements, picking the right fonts, and interlinking correctly.

All of these, although they may seem like small details, do add up.

Focus on experience, and you will be rewarded.
