You can mine from the following aspects:

01 Your own work and life experience. Combined with your own observations and thoughts on life, there will be a steady stream of writing materials.

02 Social chat content integration. Pay attention to those QQ groups, WeChat groups, forum discussion areas, etc., which will naturally generate a large number of topics and content materials, and they are all of concern to readers. You can also take the initiative to initiate a discussion on a topic in one or several WeChat groups to inspire everyone to speak freely. These are all materials. Sometimes just organizing the chat records can directly become a good article.

03 Take advantage of hot spots and output opinions. There is no need to say more about hot spots. They have always been the favorite of content creation. Not only do they have their own traffic, but they also have high attention. People who read them are willing to forward them, and readers themselves also love to follow hot spots. Now there are many people who organize the regular hot spots every year, and almost every mainstream platform has a hot list, which is not difficult to find.

04 Look at other people's experiences with your own eyes. Your own experiences and stories are definitely limited, even poor, but this world has all kinds of people and bizarre stories. Your friends, your family, your colleagues, or other people's stories you see on the Internet can all be your materials.

05 Renovate the articles you have written. With personal growth and the improvement of your vision, many opinions will change, so it is better to renovate some of the high-quality articles you have written before, add new thoughts, opinions or cases, and send them out again.

06 Pay attention to similar accounts and KOLs. Learning from peers and referring to outstanding players in the industry is something that every industry should promote, and self-media people should not be too conceited. If a peer writes an article that becomes popular, it is likely that it is worth your thinking and trying to write from your own perspective and entry point. If you disagree, you can also write from the opposite perspective. Taking a step back, the articles of peers themselves can also let you see how they dig materials themselves, so pay more attention to them.

07 Books, movies, and variety shows. If you want to write articles, then books, movies, and variety shows are definitely a content material library. Writing is a process that requires constant input. When reading books, watching movies, and watching variety shows, you can watch and feel while watching, and then recollect after watching. Writing reading notes, writing short reviews for movies, and recording impressive clips of variety shows are all very good habits.

08 Dig deep into third-party platforms. There are too many good content platforms these days. Wherever there is content, there is material. Like Zhihu, Douban, Toutiao, Bilibili, Weibo, Jianshu, Douyin, Tianya, Hupu, etc.

09 Dig from popular comment areas. Since the BBS era, I have always believed that there are many great people in the comment area, with a large number of sharp opinions, brief and profound, and there will be countless angles that you have never thought of. These are all good materials. When I was browsing Weibo hot spots, I often saw that many popular Weibo comment areas were much more exciting than the Weibo itself. There are really countless ready-made topics and countless materials that can be collected for backup.

10 Industry reports. There are professional research reports in each field, and the content of each report is basically the essence of the industry, rich in content, and has many analysis points. We can analyze the report as a whole or a certain point, and there is a lot to write.
