Ordinarily, some things have ABC methods of achieving them which may be the same for most articles, but some other cases might arise and you will have to put your thinking cap on to think beyond the ordinary.

If you are not a good thinker, you can’t make a good writer. Speaking of thinking, you don’t necessarily have to be a philosopher, but you must THINK in such a way many people might consider extraordinary – always trying to understand why things happen the way they do, the explanation for it, and better and cheaper ways of achieving great results.

So, being imaginative is one of the ways to write original article on your blog without copying people’s works.

Guide2. Get experts’ ideas

In some articles, there may be need to go and meet experts who have practical and empirical knowledge of what you wish you write about.

Obviously, you cannot know something more than someone who has been practicing it for many years, so there is a need to go and get their ideas and use them in your write up.

For example, you wish to write about the processes involved in getting a short term loan at Guaranty Trust Bank Plc, there is a need to visit the nearest GTBank branch and make the necessary enquiry from a customer care agent.

Even though you can articulate your points when writing such articles, but getting the ideas of experts are important because there may be need to cite the source of your information and this indicates authority.

Another example is when you write about: Why churches don’t support their poor church members. You could say, churches don’t support their poor members because many pastors have lost their focus, says Pastor Emmanuel Dele of Redeemed Christian Church of God, Ibadan.

Invariably you are telling your reader that you did a thorough research and the views expressed in the article are not originally yours especially if the topic is a controversial one and can instigate some sections of the society against you.

So, this is one of the ways you can write original article on your blog and not copy and modify the works of others.

It is not enough to express the ideas of everyone just to be accepted or to achieve hits that generate traffic on your blog.

That’s a no-no. Do something different. Ensure you get into the field and get practical proof of the thing you wish to write about.

Remember everyone in the world thought the earth was spherical until Ferdinand Magellan and Juan S. Elcano proved otherwise after their circumnavigation of the earth from 1519-1522.

Yes, you thought right! Their practical navigation round the world proved to the world that the world wasn’t spherical as all believed but geoid, and debunked the idea that the world was spherical.

This helped them debunk the age-long idea that the world was spherical. So, experimenting the process gives you confidence to originally write about just anything and draw your conclusions irrespective of who thinks otherwise.
