3 Easy Ways to Create Something Original

Struggling to come up with a creative idea? Not sure how to improve your product, service, book, blog post, speech, or anything youre working?

But, its all been done beforeNOT!

Its getting harder and harder to create something original because there is more and more stuff being distributed, searched for, and copied on the Internet.

More people than ever are introducing their ideas to the world. How do you create something new and fresh especially when you think you dont have a creative bone in your body?

Good news is you dont need to be creative!

You just have to have an opinion. I know you have one of those even if you dont express it.

Awareness and research are the keys

Whenever Im looking for new, fresh ways to create good content for you, there are three questions or thoughts I use.

I review a lot of material and read many books, online magazines, and so on. I do a lot of research. These are stimulants and give me ideas.

So, when Im looking for new, fresh ways to create good content for you, there are three questions or thoughts I use.

Doesnt everything great come in threes?

When Im looking for new, fresh ways to create good content for you, there are three questions or thoughts I use.

1. That is not true because
2. That is true, but
3. That is true, and

Use these statements to add your own thoughts, ideas, and additions. Bam! Its original because theres only one you and youve just altered something.

The minute you add your own flavor to something, its an original. You are an original and therefore the transitive property lives on.

I dont care if someone else thinks the same thing or said the same thing. Put your personality and twist on it. Besides, people need to hear stuff a billion times before they get it. Repetition breeds impression and all that.

Tell me something original. Go ahead! I dare ya!
