If you are working for advertising agency, books publisher, an event organizer, a monthly entertainment magazine, a newspaper column, a or some kind of organization that requires you to consistently store many fresh and new ideas and unfortunately you get stuck all the time, well, you are looking on the right article. Creativity is one of the most essential skill that many companies and agencies often look for when they hire a new employee. Many people admit that they just don’t have the gift to produce ideas everyday, they call themselves monotonous people. That’s odd. See, monotonous = boring. Nobody likes boring people. Even accountants need a little bit of excitement in their life.

Idea comes from imagination. Imagination comes from illustration. Illustration comes from our life, our relation with people, maybe something that you see and inspire you a lot. But, where will idea guide you to? Of course, somewhere nice! Like a huge office in a big building, tons of money, practically famous, wanted by millions of people, surrounded by new friends, and your life will never called boring. For example, the famous author, J.K Rowling who writes the legendary witch tale, Harry Potter. Harry Potter has been translated into hundreds of languages worldwide, give her a huge fortune beyond her wildest dream. It comes from an idea. Another example, the famous William Shakespeare. He is well-known because of his sensational play of Romeo and Juliet. Really, it comes from an idea. I can give you millions of examples, but I think you get the illustration.

Then people ask the boring question all the time, “How to make the ideas come to your head?”. Well, this article is about ‘How to get brilliant ideas all the time?’ Actually, there are lots of books out there about getting ideas that sounds really complicated and using difficult method. I am giving you the easiest and probably ridiculous ways to have some ideas to get money! I believe there are thousands of people out there who have gained a lot of money and even got rich from creative writing, creative advertising, or creative thinking. You can be creative too!

Here are the secrets:

1. Read a lot

Whatever it is, newspaper, critics, novels, magazine, comics, and ARTICLES (of course!), they all give you inspiration. Hey, inspiration comes when you are attracted to something. A fat lady inspired by slim models on a magazine, try to work out and looking as best as she is. By reading, you will be inspired and then comes a motivation. When you are motivated, ideas come fast.

2. Enjoy it!

How come you get fresh ideas when you get stressed all the time? You gotta have fun! Go out, look around, shop, and learn something. Ideas can come from a really simple thing that you love. For example, you love this movie, “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”. Then, you will have ideas, maybe not duplicating the whole thing from the movie, but developing it. You can share it in your blog. Maybe it will appear like this ‘SCARED OF YOUR PSYCHO EX-BOYFRIEND? HERE IS SOME TIPS TO KICK HIS ASS OFF YOUR LIFE!’ or ‘PLAYBOY ARE JERKS, LET’S SCREW THEM BACK!’

3. Pay Attention

Pay attention to people’s conversation. Eavesdrop is all right. Sometimes you get many beautiful ideas from simple conversation. Maybe gossip, profession problem, the latest trend, the worst criminal case, etc. It all leads to ideas and more ideas!

4. Research

When you get stuck, you have to browse the vast world of Google. Google is so smart and packed with brilliant ideas. Google itself is a brilliant idea. Brighter idea is Google Adsense ;-)

5. Music

Whatever kind of music you like or even you don’t like. You hear the hiphop music, then you have this idea of creating a hiphop concert to support a charity event, if you work for an event organizer. Well, it will attract many young people to come and buy the tickets!

6. Questioning

Do ask a lot. And then questioning will lead you to something interesting. Usually something interesting ends up with brilliant ideas. A guy is waiting on the restaurant to be seated. Then, a man with his Armani suit and his beautiful lady beside her comes to the restaurant. He shakes the waiter and suddenly he gets the best table in the restaurant. Why? You can write that in your column.

7. Travel

Outgoing people is experiencing many thrilling and exhilarating things. You really have to go somewhere exciting to gain potential ideas to write or to be developed into something like an event or a funny commercial break!
