Why Do I Feel Like "Versus" Content Is Harder To Write?

Hello fellow freelancers and content writers.

You are probably aware of the fact that I contribute a lot in the Community Discussions. I want to encourage people to join, answer and get their questions answered. I want to help people and I would love to see people contribute with their personal ideas, suggestions, advice and recommendations too. In every single topic they can. - The more the merrier so to speak.

With that being said, I submit a variety of different questions. Anything from this to that. In multiple niches and areas. - And I do this because I want to learn.

However, what I've recently found out, is that I have difficulties writing versus content.. And I can't really come up with the reason for it either. It's just like a mental block or something. - What I mean by "versus content"?

Basically a comparison of two or more products. This versus that.

So what I would like to ask, is why do you think I experience this, and have you ever experienced the same thing? - And if you have, what did you do?



Best Regards,

Writing any type of content is hard, and time consuming.

How I write "versus" post is this (product based):

1. Find product/item to compare
This can be done via Amazon, or searching for trending products.

2. Find the differences about the item
A lot of times, products will list features and what not, open 2 browser windows and compare side by side.

3. Amazon allows you to compare products
Amazon somes allows for you to compare products, it's a cool feature. Basically just click the link that says compare. It will show a table with differences, similarities, and what not. This is not available on all products though, but it does help!

Sometimes I do have a lot of writers block, but the best way to cure writers block is to quit writing for moment, and then get back at it again. And by a moment i mean like 20 minutes to an hour. Good luck!

Oh that is handy Everett, I didn't know that Amazon had that option. I can make use of this feature for my mommy blog reviews. I wonder if they offer that for affiliates to pop it directly on my blog like that? Hmm now my brain is ticking.

I think perhaps what you may be struggling with is that it is not always easy to write a product description, review or versus based on what you find online. Very often people have very different experiences of a product. Some people love it and other people hate it so which opinion do you trust?

I also struggle with reviews and versus type posts if I have not actually used the products or services myself. This is why when I write reviews for my website now I am only interested in doing it if I have used the product or service myself.

It then makes it so easy because I am writing from my own personal experience.

So perhaps when you write your next versus think of something you have actually used?

I don't think versus contents are hard to write. In fact I find writing versus content easier than other articles. In order to write versus contents you choose two topics. List good points and bad points of each topic, and write a conclusion. You are done. let me illustrate this with an example. Let say our versus topic is cat versus dog.
You write every good and bad thing about cats and dog. based on the points you have made, draw a conclusion or a list the gist.

I also avoid writing about a comparison of 2 things which is the "versus" that you meant. What I usually post in one forum is a discussion with a universally interesting topic. Writing a comparison is double the labor because you have to write the pros and cons of each comparand which, as a result, you have written 2 discussions already. Besides, I may have a bias for the comparands which should be left to the viewers.
