Get Your Ideas by Reading Magazines etc.

Every tuesday, it's a must for me to buy Manila Bulletin, a local broadsheet here in the Philippines. I can't miss an issue of one of it's content exclusively every tuesday, the "Picture Perfect". These journal awoken me with my real interest in life, photography. Even if I am an Engineering student and I have no owned camera because I can't afford one right now, I still can't keep but to love photography. Thanks to that journal. That's why I am planning to take a short course about that field, if time and money permits me to. But no matter what I will pursue it.

So why did I mention those things? I just want to point out something to you. Even if many excuses are present to prevent you from hitting that goal, you are still positive and enthusiastic to pursue it. That is what you call "passion". So do you pursue your blogging career? Even if your earnings is still as less as the the memory span of a goldfish, even if you do not have internet connection and you are just renting a computer for some hours to publish your articles. That's it! So whatever reasons your situation has, if you still feel the enthusiasm, just continue pursuing it. And when you hit the jackpot, it is what you call "real worth it".

So I mentioned that I discovered a bit of myself from reading broadsheet. This is to encourage you to read also, magazines, newspapers, and other reading materials in your home. Maybe you could find out that topic which you will blog about enthusiastically. Good thing also about reading is you can recycle ideas from an article you've read. For example, last month I've read an article from a magazine with a title, "7 Struggles of a Teenager". So the title seemed very far and seemed nothing to do anything about my blogs, but I got a bright idea. That title gave me an article to work on, "7 Struggles of a New Blogger" , which I already published now. I just recycled its title by relating it to my blog. You can also publish an exact article from magazines, just don't forget to acknowledge the magazine and the author of the article. But still nothing can win over "originality". Original works are still the best. Magazine etc. can give you ideas so you may not run out of articles to publish. Just try to be resourceful and creative.

These are the three important words in this article,

Originality, it is how genuine you work is. Original ideas are fresh to others, thus, it can caught ones attention and interest. So more potential readers for you.

Resourcefulness, is your ability to recycle and get ideas from other articles, to make it original as your own. The good thing about this, when you recycled an idea of another blogger especially when that blogger is popular, is you can caught his or her attention. Positively, that blogger can introduce your article to his readers, and this can result to more potential audiences of your blog.

Creativity, is your ability to be resourceful and original. By your creativity, you can think of another idea from an article and also you can produce original ideas to publish. Therefore, your creativity is very important in your blogging career. Creativity can be developed by reading magazines, newspapers, etc. So keep reading. Don't forget, "Reading is Creating".

So far, nothing to say more about the helpful magazines, newspapers, ect., its now up to you to explore the things inside it. Just remeber the words, Originality, Resourcefulness and Creativity. May you find the perfect topic to match your enthusiasm, and may we publish the article that will pull us great traffic.
