Are You Stuck For Article Ideas?

One of the biggest reasons people give up on writing articles it that they often run out of ideas to write about.

If you find yourself in this situation here’s 6 tips you can use to get those creative juices going.


Google News: Google news is a great tool that everyone should be using to keep a breast of the latest happenings and news in your niche. Just sign up, put in the keyword that relates to your product/service and you’ll receive sometimes daily e-mails on what’s happening. This is great for writing articles that are current and up to date.

Amazon.com: I know I’ve talked about Amazon before but as a research and article idea tool you’ll find nothing better. Look for what’s in the top 10 list, that’s what people are looking for (that’s why it in the top 10). For added research use the “search inside” feature and have a look at the table of contents for even more article ideas.

Just as a side note pay attention to the headlines on the books in the top 10. This can give you some ideas of what slang or phrases (people in your niche use) that may add extra pulling power to your articles.

Ezinearticles.com: The biggest article directory online is packed full of great article ideas. Take a look at the most popular articles in your niche. This should give an idea of what your target audience is looking for.

Local Newsagent: Look for magazines that are related to your niche and see what their writers are talking about.

Sales letters: Visit clickbank.com and find a product related to your business. Preferably choose one in the top 5 as these are the highest converting ones. Then take a look at what your chosen sales letter talks about. You may find an article idea in a bullet point or some text that springs out at you.

Google keyword suggestion tool: Visit www.adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal and do a search for keywords that your target audience in typing into the search engines. If you’re not sure what to keywords to look for, check the “Website content” radio button and put a website that is closely related to your business in the box. In a few seconds the keyword tool will give you keywords that are related to that site. The idea of using this tool is that it gives you the ideas of what your target audience is actually looking for. It just a matter then of simply just giving them what they want.

Questions And Answers: This is a very simple idea to use. Just simply make up a list of things your target audience frequently asks and put together an article where you answer them all. Don’t get carried away though, just put together the top 5 or so questions. The best thing about this, is that by you answering the questions it shows that you know what you’re talking about and helps make you look even more of an expert in your field.

Finally,

Don’t dwell too much on pushing yourself for an idea, relax and they’ll come to you. For example I was actually stuck for an idea on what to write an article about today, and low and behold the idea of writing an article on how to get “article ideas” came into my mind to write about.
