How to Come Up With Article Ideas

Article marketing is a great method in your online arsenal. Come up with interesting articles, submit them to the right sites, and you're looking at getting some decent traffic. But whilst all this is great, just how DO you come up with article ideas in the first place?

It's a common problem. You're sitting there with a blank page in front of you and you just can't think of anything to write about. My advice would be to not reinvent the wheel. I'm not saying go out and copy someone else's articles, but do a bit of simple research...

1. Look at Article Directories

Pick a very general topic in your niche, tap it into Ezine Articles or a search engine, and see what comes back. Look at the article categories too. Chances are you'll come up with numerous article ideas without too much effort.

2. Look around you in everyday life.

Sounds a little vague I agree, but you have to get into the mindset of an article writer. You could be anywhere – out shopping, visiting the hospital, or driving in your car. Ideas are all around us. If you're in the supermarket have a look at the magazine stand and look through some magazine articles. This has given me numerous ideas for articles and it's a great way to come up with inspiration.

3. Visit forums and blogs

Anywhere that people come together to talk about a particular subject is a great way to come up with article ideas. Pick out the most popular threads and see what people are talking about. If you can find the hot topics in your niche you'll do well with your article marketing.

4. Look at the sales pages of products in your niche

Find a popular product in your niche and go and have a look at the sales page. Specifically, find the list of bullet pointed 'product features' – most sales pages have this and it is a great way to come up with instant article ideas. 'The Top 3 Ways of Monetizing Your Blog,' 'Why You Must Build a Blog' – those were just two bullet points I found on the sales page of a product that took me 2 minutes to find. There, that's two article titles straight away!

What most people find is that once they have got started the ideas begin to flow and the ability to come up with article ideas becomes second nature. Look around you. Consider what people are talking about in your niche. You will probably find that one idea leads to another, and another, and another...

I am having a real hard time to find a subject to write about. I usually scan ezinearticles and find ideas. Also I try to choose subject that are not so obvious because they bring much more money.

Thanks for these tips. I am quickly able to think of an idea or topic to write about. My problem is the time and interest to do one. With your suggestions, I can fill my notebook with my article topic ideas. Thanks.
