Three Steps To Get Up To Speed On Any Subject Quickly

Came across a nifty article today that applies to niche research and the problem some of us have when we need content for any niche we are not familiar with in terms of writing niche content.

Imagine if you will, you have an idea for a new niche, you do user intent research as it relates to targeted traffic, SEO research aka buyer keywords, etc. and you know from the data you've collected that the niche could be profitable.

Then comes the proverbial writer's block of sorts. Content is needed and a lot of it strategicaly placed in front of potential buyers.

This article speaks to that and even though it is a reprint from 2016 it is sourced from some very authoritive people. Content researchers will recognize the names associated with the advise.

In a nutshell here are three excepts from the article that I have heard of before, but never knew the source until today. Side note: I reworded some of the excerpts for my own digital library.

1. First, Google Once Then Start Sketching
To build a quick overview of what other people have said — and then stop Googling.

2. Get Inside the Right People’s Heads (Not Just the Experts’)
The secret isn’t just talking to smart people. It’s "talking to the right smart people."

3. Teach to Know
Two kinds of knowledge: the shallow kind, which only reveals the names of things, and real knowledge, which comes from truly understanding how they work.

Write out everything you know about the subject as if you were teaching it to someone else. Not your smart friend but rather a toddler. This may sound silly, but this part is incredibly important and has worked wonders

Break down the problem and practice explaining what you want the reader learn in simple language that anyone could follow.

What do you like most about IM?

Give us a specific task/thing you do, not an intangible benefit like "freedom" and other than money.

I probably like brainstorming the most ...

I also like playing around with graphics and graphic programs a lot, even though I not very good with them. I have decent technical skills with digital graphics, but I'm severely "artistically challenged". The coders of some of these programs combine amazing technical and creative talent.

reaConverter Pro is an amazing converter and the only one I know that can handle all these formats including vectors. Shareware on Sale has it for 100% free and it's normally $99. I almost bought it for $99 a while back...glad to get this deal.

I downloaded it and registered it and there weren't any surprises.

Many people say they have an online business because they spend a lot of time at the computer working on stuff. 

However, most of the stuff they are doing doesn't really contribute to the bottom line much, if at all, which is the key point about being in business. 

In the past, I've found myself working my fingers to the bone all day long for days at a time, for example, and haven't made a penny for my efforts. Not immediate profits and not really anything for future profits. 

So, the question is what do you do every day to grow your business? What tasks contribute to your bottom line the most? What are the time wasters? 

Or are you one of those "working" all day long for free. 

Wolfram Alpha is a really interesting research search engine.
https://www.wolframalpha.com

Here's a tour:
https://www.wolframalpha.com/tour/

It also offers a "vs" feature where you can compare two websites and get some interesting facts. Here's Quora.com vs Answers.com
https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=qu...nswers.com

DuckDuckGo - Has some good features and no tracking of its users.

Boardreader - A forum/discussion search engine. It seems to get most of its results from Reddit.

StartPage - Another SE for those worried about privacy and it has a proxy service.

For a few days (if the scarcity isn't just a sales ploy) you can get Jason Fladlien's copywriting course for $1. The sales page says it's regularly $999.95. It's worth checking out. One thing I like about the sales page is it says "immediate access" not "instant access", which is the truth.

Here's an interesting read about the George Foreman Grill. They left out a part of why I think it was successful and that's because George had a reputation as a big eater at the time.

I can't stand the sound of a broom with hard bristles sweeping, especially a push broom. It's like finger nails on a chalk board to me and have to use brooms with soft bristles.

I love the sound of ice cubes cracking and the clip clop of horses walking in the street.
