How To Get Ideas For Articles

By David Lim

The technique of article marketing involves writing a lot of articles. We are talking about not a dozen or two, but the number usually recommended would number in the hundreds. I am sure that you are as hardworking and creative as the next guy, but I am sure you are wondering how to write a few hundred different articles on the same topic. Well, you are in luck because that's what this article is about. Read on....

Write On Related Topics As Well

You don't always have to write on the same old tired topic. If you can think of a related topic that your readers would be interested in or find relevant, by all means, write articles about it. For example, let's say you are selling chairs. A related topic might be proper sitting posture, or perhaps even the human backbone. Who knows? You might even be able to branch out into a completely different field, like medication for back pain.

Make A List

A list is a great starting point for articles. The list can be about anything like a list of advantages of your product, places where your product can be used, or even reasons why one should not use your product. Write a short paragraph for each item on your list. Your list can basically be an article. And if your list is too long, split them into smaller lists, and make each of the smaller lists into an article.

Different Viewpoints

Many types of people will read your article. From a single article, you can write more articles based on the same points, but targeted at a specific demographic. Let's say you are selling sports equipment and you are writing about why one needs to keep fit. If you are writing for young single women, you might say that a well toned body is a big plus when attracting the opposite sex. If you are writing for married women, you might say that a well toned body is great for keeping their husbands interested.

If You Have No More Ideas For Articles...

If you keep writing, you may run out of ideas for new articles. It is quite unlikely as there are numerous permutations and combinations of articles that you can write about on any given topic and you would probably not have time to exhaust them all. But if you run out of ideas, do a web search on your topic. I'm sure that after a few searches, you will get lots more ideas, much more than you would ever have time to peruse.

Conclusion

Whatever your reason for writing articles online, the ability to come up with many different angles or slants on a single topic is a skill well worth acquiring. Even if you are not really into article marketing, there will be demands made that the article you submit has not been published elsewhere. And you will need to come up with a unique slant to an already written article.
