17 Unique Places to Find Great Content to Share

I get a particular thrill from finding little-known restaurants that serve amazing food. My greatest hits list includes elk tacos at a highway diner, cinnamon rolls at a downtown hole-in-the-wall, and – perhaps my greatest discovery of all – barbecue from a trailer in a parking lot. (Seriously, it’s good barbecue!)

The discovery process for great content has a similar thrill. How great does it feel to share a bit of awesomeness that few others have found?

Without a doubt, sharing great finds on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and other social networks is a smart way to with your followers. Did you know 25 percent of Tweets contain links and 56 percent of retweets contain them?

People love a good content share. And in order to give the people what they want, sometimes you’ve got to dig a little deeper. Here are 17 unexpected places to look:

Freelancing Mistakes

53 Freelancing Mistakes That Are Costing You Clients, Cash, and Credibility

I don’t know about you, but when I started freelancing as a writer, I made a ton of mistakes.

And by “a ton,” I mean everything I did was pretty much a disaster.

Thankfully, you can fix mistakes. And contrary to popular belief, making mistakes is a good thing — provided you learn from them.

But if you’re thinking, “Great! As long as I learn from my mistakes, it’s all good,” I have to tell you something … and you won’t like it.

You may not even know you’re making a mistake.

And that part can hurt your freelance business.

How I Wrote Three Books in Three Years

Writing a book can be a long, hard slog.

The “miserable” parts of the experience have been documented over and over again. Or just ask any author on a book deadline — or let the thousand-yard stare speak for itself.

Not all of us can have an entire corporation behind them churning out novels, taking the stress off, after all.

And though authors are unquestionably helpful to each other, they don’t always give the best advice. Think how many times you’ve heard this old trope: Just put your butt in the chair and write. It’s true, but that doesn’t help you right now, does it?

Delicious Amla

Delicious Amla

Amla, or Indian gooseberry, technically called phyllanthus emblica, is the most powerful rejuvenating agent ever known. It has been in use for thousands of years in lots of medi cines. It is found growing on bushes all over India. Dried and fresh fruits and all the other parts of the plant are used in various ayurvedic and unani medicines.

This deciduous tree belonging to the Phyllanthaceae family, reaches eight to 18 m in height with a crooked trunk and spread branches. The branchlets are glabrous or finely pubescent, 10-20 cm long; the leaves are simple, subsessile and closely set along, resembling pinnate leaves. The flowers are greenish-yellow. The fruit is nearly spherical, light greenish yellow, quite smooth and hard in appearance, with six vertical stripes or furrows. It can tolerate temperatures as high as 46oC and freezing temperatures too.

Health Benefits of Beetroot

Health Benefits of Beetroot

Beetroots, often called as beets are root vegetables from the Chenopodiaceae family. Their scientific name is Beta vulgaris. Beetroots have been in use for more than thousand years now. They were first used in Babylon, from where they were spread to different parts of the world.

Although the root parts of the beets are most widely consumed, the delicious greens can also be eaten. It is an interesting fact that the beets were first cultivated only for their greens. The beetroots are deep red in colour, and are an excellent source of a wide variety of minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. Beets contain Niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, folate, riboflavin, vitamin B1, thiamine, zinc, calcium, potassium, magnesium, vitami9n A, vitamin C and phosphorous. They are also a good source of dietary fiber. Because of their nutritional content, they impart numerous health benefits to their consumers. 

Benefits of Tender Coconut Water

Summer is in full swing, due to rising temperature and scorching heat it is very important to keep your body hydrated. If proper care is not taken, then due to high sweating, the most common reason of falling sick is getting dehydrated. Therefore, make sure you have enough liquids, either in the form of fruits or in the form of juices. It is said the purest form of liquids is the best form of liquids as they are in its natural form and consist only health benefits and no side effects.

Unfortunately, when we talk about keeping your body hydrated people are moving towards unhealthy fizzy drinks such as cola and soda, which are not only high in sugar, but also high in acid content. Due to high advertising and marketing it has become a trend to fall back on such drink. However, people forget what they were taught about natural things in their school.
