Writing unique content for a guest post, is that easy? Well, in a sense it's not. But before we get into that, let's have a look at how you can create unique articles in the first place.
Having a deal with another web owner for a guest post may be the easiest thing you've ever done. However, writing a unique article for publication on that website or blog (even if this is something you've never done before) is not the easiest thing either.
You need to understand what it takes to write unique content, so you can write it easily and quickly - and thus get better results.
The key thing to remember is that even though the topic is the same, unique content still needs to be written differently. If you're writing an article for a directory, you should ensure that you provide unique content.
Do this by using sub-headings, arranging your article logically, avoiding duplicate content, and so on.
However, when you're writing your article, you will need to follow the same rules as for any article you publish elsewhere - but you need to ensure that you're aware of the fact that other sites are using the same techniques on their site as you are on yours. So how do you write unique content in your article?
Step 1: Plan about your topic
The first step is to think about the niche you'll be covering and how you plan to write about it. You should be asking yourself the questions like:
- What information would interest readers there?
- Is there any information you know about your subject that could be useful to others?
- Is there any information you already know that could use in your article?
Once you've answered these questions, you'll be in a better position to write the content that will make readers sit up and take notice.
Step 2: Research your topic
The second step is to research your topic thoroughly. Not only does this mean learning everything you can about your topic, but also reading as many articles as you can about your niche.
You want to have an idea of what's going on in your market so that you know what to include in your articles. Also, look at similar articles that were written about your area of interest to see how they used keywords and key phrases in their way to craft their unique pieces.
The more you research, the more you get ideas about the topic. In this way, you get more methods of writing something unique.
For example, if you read your topic through multiple websites, it will be easier for you to completely understand your topic as well as write plagiarism-free content.
There are different methods of research for your topic. For example, you can use the following resources for your research:
- Youtube Videos
- Google Scholar
- Discussion Boards
Step 3: Check plagiarism
If you haven’t checked your content for plagiarism, you have done nothing so far. Plagiarized work will come back to you as soon as it was delivered.
Plagiarism won’t be tolerated by the host of the site. You will lose the chance of guest posting here.
No site will ever allow you again to post as a guest if you once give them a plagiarized article or blog.
Before submitting your article, always check for plagiarism. You may not be doing it intentionally, but sometimes it happens accidentally.
You have no guilt in unintentional or accidental plagiarism. This is why you must check your content before you submit it.
There lots of online plagiarism checkers that can assist you to do this job. You just have to visit an online plagiarism checker and Voila! Your plagiarism percentage is defined after a single click.
You can proceed with the process like this
- Add your text here:
The results will be shown on your screen as:
This will tell you the percentage of the plagiarized and the copied content in the data. After knowing the amount of the plagiarized data, you can just change it or paraphrase it.
You can save your content by being protective and adding no plagiarism.
Step 4: Paraphrase your writing
In case you are not able to make your content unique, you should consider using the technique of paraphrasing to make your unique.
Paraphrasing is the technique of making your content unique by changing most of the words in your writing. The words are usually replaced by their synonyms in the way that the original meaning is maintained.
Now, there are two ways of paraphrasing including Manual Paraphrasing and using an online paraphrasing tool.
Manual Paraphrasing is quite a lengthier and effortful work because you need to find the best synonym through the thesaurus and maintain the original meaning.
However, it is better and easier to use an online paraphrasing tool that is quite accurate in replacing the words as it tries to keep the actual thoughts.
Some of the best paraphrasing tools are capable of enhancing the sentence structure of your writing and this makes your content unique.
Step 5: Edit & proofread your writing
The next step is to edit and proofread everything before you submit it. After you paraphrase whether using a manual way or via an online tool, you need to proofread your content because none of the tools is perfect for an accurate piece of writing.
Be sure to go over each word. Be sure that you don't miss spelling errors or grammatical mistakes. To get rid of grammar errors, use online tools like Grammarly for quick proofreading.
It doesn't matter how small the error is if it's glaring at your readership. It may not seem like a big deal but trust me, it's a big one!
If you don’t proofread perfectly, the rate for rejection of your guest post from the web owner increases.
Step 6: Start Submitting/sending your articles
The fifth step is to start submitting your articles. Many websites/blogs allow you to submit articles free of charge. This is the best step because you can start building your list right away!
If you're not familiar with article marketing, then the more you write, the better your chance of getting listed in the top websites that accept guest posts. You can then email them or send them directly through a link in your resource box.
Step 7: Get your articles noticed
Step Six (the last one) involves getting your articles noticed. Writing articles is only part of the deal. Most guest posting sites let you add a short description of yourself at the bottom of your articles a.k.a Author Biography.
This small portion will act as a teaser and will give visitors a little information about you. In addition to the article directory, make sure that you submit your articles to a few major search engines as well.
The next part is to write unique content for your blog or website is to get out there and write. Don't just sit around wishing that your article could be discovered. Get out there!

The idea is to keep researching and learning as you progress through the process so that you can write informative articles that your readers will enjoy reading.
