10 ways to generate new ideas and article topics
1. Think of new ideas.
Add your brainstorming ideas to an idea file that you can return to when you are stuck on a topic.
Also add ideas you get from other sources to this file so you always have a fresh source of inspiration.
2. Visit forums and message boards.
3. Check newspapers and news programs.
Depending on what you like to write about, you may find new hot topics.
4. Subscribe to ezines that reach your target audience.
You will be able to obtain new and relevant information that could generate an idea for an article.
5. Review your own articles.
Keep your eyes open for things you touch on in your articles that you can expand to a full article.
Also look for ways to further educate your readers on the topics you have written about in the past.
6. Read other people's articles.
You can review submissions to article ad lists and article directories, or you can visit a site that has articles that you like to read.
You may be able to find an original bias that the other author did not cover in their article or a topic that you could investigate for your next article.
7. Use the questions you receive from your subscribers, visitors, or customers to get ideas.
The questions you receive regularly can be an excellent source of new ideas and topics that will appeal to your target audience.
8. Go to a marketing seminar or conference.
Also, to find more new article topics, you can learn new things and get more contacts.
9. Conduct an interview.
You will be able to get a new article from the interview itself.
The person you interview might also mention things in their answers that they could do a little research on for a new article.
10. Take a survey.
Ask your participants what topics they are interested in learning more about in your e-zine or on your site, and you can get more ideas and new topics.
