As a amateur blogger trying to expand your client base, you must face the truth that you may not be the best writer out there, have the best research/proof and your not at the top of Google either. That means if someone is searching for a general topic that many websites cover, your will not readily appear. chances are your article isn't the best and its not the first one people see therefore it wont really get many views. Think of it as opening up a small burger joint beside a McDonald, it just wont work. Instead you have to sell something totally different. Instead of a burger joint beside a McDonald's you might open up a mortuary so you and McDonald were in no way competing. And even better they might be helping you hahah. Then you are not at competition with the McDonald's. This is where creativity comes in. If you wish to surpass the competition with the limited resources you have, plus the fact they have a head start, you need to think outside the box. When you cant beat people at the popular topics, blog about something interesting but not so popular and more niche. this however requires lots of creativity and brainstorming. The perfect idea that is a mix of creative, different and interesting does not merely just present itself you you. It really has to stand out too. You must think and plan out ideas to talk about. Ultimately the new and original ideas will pay off because you have stopped trying for the same market as the big blogs and website, you will have found something productive, interesting and helpful and it is that, which will ultimately get you ahead
