5 Simple Ways To Get Ideas For Awesome Articles!


1. Participate in chat rooms related to your targeted audience. Watch what questions people are asking and ask others what information they're interested in.

There are probably millions of chatrooms out there, just waiting for you, all you need to do is go to http://www.google.com or your favorite search engineand enter your target keyword and chat. For example,if you wanted to find chatrooms that are talking aboutdogs, you could enter +dog +chat in the searchbar and then have fun in the chatroom. Another good thing about this method (and also see the tip about the message/bulletin boards) is that you can establish yourself as a Subject Matter Expert (SME)by answering a few questions during your visit.

I always try to help on the forums that I am a part of,primarily because a lot of people have helped me along the way, but at the same time, I also am able to spreadmy name and my website information. It's a win-win.

2. Examine what information in being broadcast on tv, news and talk shows. That information is usually a hot topic.

This little tip is very crucial, if you see a news clip thattalks about Yahoo, or Google, or something going on inthe economy for example, you can use that to youradvantage.

I have found that I can always relate anything back to business and use it to create an article. For example,not too long ago, I posted an audio post to my blog (http://blog.makemoneymarketingonline.com) where I discussed my experiences with the Houston PublicTransportation System and what lessons could be learned from it.

3. Hang out in similar message boards. People leave questions for information they're seeking. That is a strong indicator of subjects to write about.

This is similar to the first tip in nature, but here is an added twist, if you see the same topic in many differentposts or a really long discussion thread, it's worth havinga closer look at it, you might find a topic, that is justbegging to have a solution created for it, and then you could go to http://www.elance.com for example and just submit a quote request, describing the problem andwhat you are thinking about doing to fix it. Bingo, yourvery own product and all thanks to watching the board.

4. Survey your web site visitors or current customers. Ask them what type of articles they would like to see published on your web site or in your e-zine.

5. Regularly check your site's guest books. Peoplesometimes leave questions or comments that wouldhelp you generate high readership articles.

Believe it or not, but guestbooks do stil work. But notonly that, they are a great place to see what problems people are having, especially on other sites (snoop arounda little). But here's another thing. As you know, linkpopularity is vital to your search engine ranking and theselittle posts in guestbooks and on message boards all help you in that area, but please make sure your post is relevantand on topic.
