Almost every week I start at least 3 or 4 new blogs based on my own niche research that leads me to believe that I have found a profitable new niche that has little or no competition.
Maybe someday my blog host will come out and give me a medal.
Anyway, that may sound like a lot of work to you, but I have found a number of ways to streamline the system without disrupting my lazy lifestyle.
The first thing I do is go to Google News and subscribe to alerts on the topic. This means that Google will send me a list of every new web page it finds on that topic every day. This is a huge way to save time when you are working with many different blogs. I don't have to go searching for information because it is emailed to me every day.
The next thing I do is get a folder and print hard copies of pages I find on my topic. I have a different folder for each blog I am running and I keep these pages inside.
Perhaps I am old fashioned, but there is still something that I find easier about having hard copies of documents to work with.
With a hard copy, I can write on it, highlight some sections in yellow, write notes in the margins or write my own ideas and insights on the back. I can circle sections I like or disagree with and I can draw arrows from those circles to other parts of the text that I think relate to the idea.
Sometimes I will put post it notes on the hard copy with my own thoughts on the topic.
Basically I can interact with a hard copy until I make it my own material. I never plagiarize (Google and the other internet police will come down hard on you if you plagiarize-it is not worth it).
But interacting with material you get from other sources is not plagiarism, especially if you use 3 or more sources to form your own ideas and content.
If you try this for yourself, I am confident you will find that this type of research enables you to produce massive amounts of original material that you create on your own. The web is a research tool first and foremost, so use it as such and you will find yourself becoming a prolific blogger and article writer.
