How To Create Unique Web Content Without Writing A Word

It’s a known fact that fresh, unique content is the lifeblood of any website.

But here comes the problem.

It’s not easy to crank out unique content on a consistent basis especially if you are not a good writer. Well, even if you are an excellent writer, you’ll have to have time to write.

Anyway, I have a better solution for you.

Why not you get someone else to create content for you - through interviews?

Another reason that makes this approach so powerful is you are not going to ask ordinary persons to write content for you but those who are famous in their own fields.

People like published authors, authority bloggers, and famous personalities.

I have done this many times. And I am going to share with you how easy it is for a “nobody” to interview famous guys.

Find Famous Figures to Interview

Anyone who is an expert in your niche is your potential candidate.

They can be authors or bloggers or anyone who commands respect in your field.

One of the best places to start your search is blogs.

Not any blog but only look for popular blogs with large number of comments and followers. It’s a good sign if the blogger attracts a high number of comments for each of his posts.

Once you’ve found a blogger you like, approach him for the interview.

Make the First Contact

Where do you find the contact details? Most probably, there’s a contact form on the blog. Use it to initiate the contact.

You don’t want to write a 10-page email during your first contact. What you need to do is to write a short and sweet email by telling him how you admire him (or his blog) and you’d like to have him for an interview.

If he shows some interest, you can discuss more details about the interview in your follow-up emails.

Compile the Questions

After getting the green light to proceed, now it’s time to compile your interview questions. I’d suggest you ask not more than 10 questions.

Regardless of the topic, there are always top burning questions that your readers want to find answers to. Get the interviewee answer on your behalf and your readers will thank you for doing this.

Follow this approach and you will have content created without writing a word. And your readers love you for the excellent content that you have for them.
