I'm honestly not a very good writer. My thoughts and are all jumbled up, I'm not really great at grammar, my writing is disorganized, and I'm kinda awkward.
But that doesn't seem to matter, because I'm actually making several thousand dollars per content piece and I'm getting the big boy websites interested in what I'm pumping out.

Here's a look at some of the responses to content I wrote here on BHW:

Here's only a FEW of leads I recently received from 1 post on Reddit:

Now, here's a reference guide for content marketing that I made:

What's inside the file?
A map of just about every term/concept in content marketing broken down into categories, sub-categories, and sub-sub-categories.
Also a few key rules to explain why certain things are needed.
Concept:
This content, for those of you that aren't familiar with my SEO mind map is used to help people quickly understand complex ideas through a learning method called "chunking". This method is even more effective when used in conjunction with your own knowledge, rather than borrowing someone else's like mine.
You can find a free course on how to improve your meta-cognitive abilities here: https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn
For those of you who don't care to take the course, this is how it works:
The Law of 3-4 (aka Miller's law)
You can only process a certain amount of information at one time. One of the biggest issues with learning something new--is that you shove your face into a bowl full of terms and don't take the time to categorize it all.
Just like Google, our brains work according to the rules of topical relevancy to bring into consciousness the most relevant memory.
By taking lots of information and chunking it into topics and subtopics you're able to retain more information in one sitting AND retain it for much longer.
Ie. Here in the US, we break phone numbers down into the zip code (480), then the next three numbers 734, and finally the last four 9032.
This makes it much easier for us to remember the phone number instead of memorizing 4807349032.
Why a Mind Map?
Well there's lot's of benefits, but mostly because the visual cues allow you to more easily create neural connections between the concepts you already understand. This increases the speed to mastery and also deepens the conceptual understanding of the topic. Like when someone uses an example to explain a complex topic, in order to make it connect to previously obtained information elsewhere.
Creating Great Content
Please refer to the content marketing outline for this.
Great content really starts with a goal in mind. What do you want your content to do? If you want your content to make you money, then you need to get the people going. You need to make it provocative.
No one's really explained HOW to make great content.
They just say to make it great.
But what does that really mean? What does it mean to be great? What makes great content... great?
Here's the answer.

They just say to make it great.
But what does that really mean? What does it mean to be great? What makes great content... great?
Here's the answer.
Great content is:
- Unique
- Right for the platform it's being consumed on.
- The right offer for the audience you're targeting.
- Right for the audience you're targeting.
Let's dig deeper.
What the fuck does that stuff even mean?
What makes content unique?
Unique content is hard to come by. It's supposedly difficult to make. There's thousands--maybe even millions of people pushing content out every minute of every day. I mean, when you have that much content being pushed our and being consumed... How do you make something truly unique.
Unique content comes from PERSONAL experiences
Nothing is more unique than a personal experience. Personal experiences literally CANNOT be duplicated. If you want to make your content UNIQUE and ENTERTAINING, then you should add some storytelling. Tell a story about your personal experiences and how they related to the topic at hand. This goes hand in hand with the next point.
Unique content comes from lateral thinking
Unique content is lateral. Lateral means to take two different unrelated topics and mush them together to make something new. If you want your content to be UNIQUE and EDUCATIONAL, then use a lot of lateral thinking.
Example: It's taking the topic "biology" and the topic "business" and creating a piece of content that talks about how a business is a living breathing organism--NOT a well oiled machine.
This piece of content that I'm writing right now takes "meta-cognition" and mushes it together with "content marketing". It creates a wildly new experience for everyone. Doing this not only creates great content, but it can also create great strategies. Here's how I used lateral thinking to create a new hashtag strategy by mushing together "seo" and "Instagram": https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/e...ashtags-this-is-how-you-really-do-it.1085067/
Alright, alright, alright.
Right platform, right offer, right audience. Great content, really great content, is right in every way. It provides a SOLUTION a REAL SOLUTION to a problem that people have. It's not some bull shit here's ten step checklist to lose weight: 1.) Eat right 2.) Exercise 3.) Don't eat junkfood 4.) Etc...
That's the same re-hashed bullshit.
That's not great.
That's not even worth your fucking time to make--let alone their time to read it.
A real solution requires research
If you spit out generic bullshit solutions, then you're going to get generic bullshit results.
If you offer SPECIFIC solutions to SPECIFIC problems, then you, the content creator, get specific RESULTS--and so does the reader. This reinforces their confidence in you and warms them up to take action.
Now, if you listen to people. REALLY LISTEN, then they will tell you their problems and you can provide specific solutions.
Gary V does this to know what his audience likes: https://www.slideshare.net/vaynerch...LISH_PILLAR_CONTENTDocument_Create_Distribute
But it's super simple. Listen to what really has people frustrated, then provide a solution. Instead of some generic diet bull shit, you could do research and notice that your audience just works a lot and can't cook.
BOOM
"Here's how to lose weight without taking time out of your busy day to cook meals"
Then write an article about meal prep home delivery, reach out to a bunch of meal prep businesses and work out a deal with them.
Hope you enjoy. Like, comment, and subscribe, or I'll never write anything for you ungrateful bastards again.
