Before we go into the actual concept, let me tell you my story. I was studying in 10th class. Final exams were going on. It was a geography exam and I was partially prepared. There were lots of theories regarding writing a good answer sheet. One of the theory I learned was “create an impression” in examiners eye. Examiner has to check number of question papers in a short time of period. All those examiners from different regions, no one was going to read all the words. They just overlook answer and they put a marks based on that impression.
I used a trick to create an impression. I took a stensil of world and country map along with me. It was not mandatory but I have something else in my mind. When I entered in an exam hall, all the students around me stared at me. They were scratching their heads with full tension. “What did she bring? Was it necessary? Is it mandatory?”
I was like “miss perfect” at that moment. I wrote and answer sheet full of stensil drawn maps. For example, there was a question like “write a note on terrestrial regions in the world”.
I knew the answer, I wrote it, but I also drawn a map with the help of stensil and highlighted the region. I did this for almost all the answers. Result was more than expected. That so called “visualization” made a significant impression that turned into a good marks.
So the point is, no matter how competitive your keyword is, no matter there are number of competitors around you..What makes you different is that “impression”
Today we will talk about writing your first blog Post that will create an impression, both in reader’s eye and Google’s eye. We will continue with one example so that you will understand it better. We will take an example of writing a post on “how to become a doctor”.
Keyword research:
2 parts:
1st part: Don’t go into the deep SEO, just open the google keyword planner and search for the keywords. Once you get the list, don’t filter it with competition and CPC, just pick the keywords that has highest volume. That’s it !
2nd part: Go straight to quora. Find a questions related to this.
You can see a questions asked related to this, there are almost 4 questions there. Which one to pick? Open that question, check which question has highest followers. This one ! Let’s go for it.
Now you are going to answer this question which your first article. Sounds so different, right? But yes, it works !
Reason to write an article based on Quora questions:
Answer to every problem is available on internet right now, quora can be considered as a forum for those people who are highly interested in certain topics and not satisfied with available resources on Google. So they post a question on quora to get detailed information. This is the deep secret that I just revealed. (Don’t forget to comment to thank me). This is the loophole in search engine that we are exploring.
Now you just read the question.
I am an Indian in US. I want my kid to become a doctor but he shows undue interest in arts. Initially it was just scribbling but now it’s like IT. How do I discourage my 6 year old kid from arts, paintings, and dinosaurs?
Make an interesting title:
Interesting title is:
“Why It’s Time to Rethink Discouraging Your Child’s Passion: A Case for Nurturing Creativity and Individuality”
(I used to chatgpt for this title).
Main article:
- Start with interesting paragraph.
Sarah had always dreamed of having a child who would follow in her footsteps and become a doctor. She had studied hard and worked tirelessly to become a successful physician, and she hoped her child would do the same. However, her son, Jack, had other ideas.
At the age of three, Jack had become fascinated with dinosaurs, and Sarah was happy to encourage this interest. She bought him books, took him to museums, and watched as he spent hours playing with his dinosaur toys. But then, at the age of four, Jack began to show an interest in art. Sarah dismissed it as a passing phase and hoped that he would soon forget about it.
However, Jack’s interest in art only grew stronger. He would spend hours drawing, painting, and creating things out of clay. Sarah was worried that this interest in the arts would distract him from his studies and prevent him from pursuing a career in medicine.
One day, Sarah decided to sit down with Jack and have a serious conversation about his future. She explained to him that becoming a doctor was a noble profession and that she had high hopes for him. She told him that he needed to focus on his studies and that there was no time for painting or drawing.
Jack looked up at his mother with a confused expression on his face. “But Mom,” he said, “I love drawing. I love painting. And I love learning about dinosaurs. Why can’t I do both?”
Sarah was taken aback. She had never considered the possibility that her son could pursue both his interests in art and medicine. She had always assumed that he had to choose one or the other. But as she looked at her son’s beaming face, she realized that he was right. There was no reason why he couldn’t pursue both.
From that day forward, Sarah made a conscious effort to encourage Jack’s artistic endeavors. She bought him more art supplies, enrolled him in art classes, and even took him on a trip to a dinosaur excavation site. She watched as Jack flourished, growing more confident and creative every day.
Years later, as she watched Jack graduate from medical school with honors, Sarah realized that she had been wrong. It wasn’t her job to discourage her son’s interests; it was her job to nurture them. And in doing so, she had helped him become not only a successful doctor but also a well-rounded, creative, and passionate individual.
Here you are shaping the original question into story format.
- Elaborate the problem.
As parents, we often have certain dreams and expectations for our children. We want them to be successful, happy, and fulfilled in life. However, sometimes our children have different plans for themselves.
It can be difficult to accept that our children may not want to pursue the same paths that we had envisioned for them. We may feel disappointed, frustrated, or even angry that they are not following in our footsteps. We may worry about their future and whether they will be able to achieve their goals.
However, it is important to remember that our children are individuals with their own unique interests, passions, and talents. It is not our job to dictate their lives or force them into a certain mold. Instead, our role as parents is to support and guide them as they explore their own paths.
This may require us to let go of our own expectations and be open to new possibilities. We may need to listen to our children’s ideas and dreams, even if they are different from our own. We may need to encourage them to take risks, try new things, and pursue their passions.
Ultimately, our children’s happiness and success in life depend on their own choices and actions. As parents, our job is to provide them with the tools, resources, and support they need to make those choices and take those actions. We may not always agree with their decisions, but we can still love and respect them as individuals and trust that they will find their own path to greatness.
- Write a solution
Here are some tips for parents who may be struggling with accepting their child’s different plans in life:
- Listen to your child: Take the time to listen to your child’s ideas and dreams, even if they are different from your own. Show interest in what they have to say and ask them questions to better understand their perspective.
- Support their passions: Encourage your child to pursue their interests and passions, even if they are not what you had envisioned for them. Provide them with the resources, tools, and support they need to explore their passions and achieve their goals.
- Let go of your expectations: It is important to recognize that your child is an individual with their own unique talents, interests, and goals. Let go of your own expectations and be open to new possibilities for your child’s future.
- Focus on their strengths: Every child has their own strengths and weaknesses. Focus on your child’s strengths and help them develop these skills, as they may lead to new opportunities and paths in life.
- Be a role model: Model the behavior you want to see in your child. Pursue your own passions and interests and show your child that it is possible to achieve success and happiness by following your own path in life.
Remember, your child’s happiness and success in life depend on their own choices and actions. As a parent, your role is to support and guide them as they navigate their own path in life, even if it is different from what you had envisioned
There are many successful people who have chased their dreams and left school to pursue their passions. Here are some examples:
Bill Gates: Gates co-founded Microsoft and is now one of the wealthiest people in the world. However, he dropped out of Harvard University to pursue his passion for computer programming. While at Harvard, Gates spent most of his time writing computer programs and realized that he wanted to focus on his own projects full-time.
Steve Jobs: Jobs co-founded Apple and is credited with revolutionizing the computer, music, and smartphone industries. However, he dropped out of Reed College after just one semester to pursue his interests in calligraphy and Eastern spirituality. Jobs later said that this decision to follow his curiosity ultimately led him to the insights and innovations that would shape his career.
Richard Branson: Branson is a British entrepreneur and founder of the Virgin Group, which includes over 400 companies in industries such as music, travel, and telecommunications. However, Branson struggled in school due to dyslexia and dropped out at age 16 to start his first business, a student magazine. This led him to other ventures and ultimately, a successful career as an entrepreneur.
Mark Zuckerberg: Zuckerberg co-founded Facebook and is now one of the most influential people in technology. However, he dropped out of Harvard University during his sophomore year to focus on building the social network. While at Harvard, Zuckerberg had been working on Facebook in his dorm room and realized that he wanted to pursue the project full-time.
Inforgrahics
These examples show that while traditional education can be valuable, it is not the only path to success. Sometimes, pursuing one’s passion and interests can lead to new insights and opportunities that are not available in a classroom setting.
