If you’re trying to get more out of article marketing, you’ll need to write articles often. But how do you come up with ideas for what to write about? Constantly creating online content about your niche gives you an opportunity to increase SEO and get targeted buyers to your website or blog. Here are some tips for you.
Keyword Research
When you research for keywords to use, very often this can help you come up with article subjects. Consider using your keywords in the title of your articles for effective search engine optimisation.
Article Directories
Article directories can be browsed by topic. While you shouldn’t copy anyone else’s titles, reading titles on the topic could inspire you for topics. A great idea is to cover an angle not currently covered so that you can capture people’s attention. Solving a problem related to your niche is a great way to get the attention of people who are ready to buy.
News
A great way to come up with ideas for article writing for directories or for your own website and / or blog is to read news. This tells you what is happening in the niche and can help you take advantage of current events to capture a reader’s attention. If your niche were alternative health, for instance, reading about latest medical breakthroughs could give you plenty of topics to write about surrounding your niche.B
Blogs
If you visit other sites and blogs on your topic, this can often help you come up with ideas. Discussions in blog comments and blog articles that you felt left out an aspect of a topic could create ideas for you. Consider making a running list of ideas throughout your day that you can come back and visit when you’re ready to write.
Good ‘ole Google! Search based on keywords you want to rank for and see what comes up. Can you write on a topic better or choose another slant? Give it a whirl!
And, going back to choosing your niche in the first place… when you choose a niche to focus on in internet marketing it’s a good idea to choose something that allows you to write on a variety of related topics. There are broad niches and sub-niches as well.
Have a most outstanding day.

Just what I need Sean. Quite often it can be challenging coming up with ideas.
Thanks for that
Hi Sean,
These are some great ideas. I don’t usually have a problem coming up with topics to write about. It’s finding the best ‘gold nugget’ keywords to go with my topics.
I read lots of blogs daily to learn about my niche but they do often trigger a post in my head.
Hello Sean,
I have the other problem….too many article ideas and not enough blogs to write them on!! I am also trying to cut my words down on each blog I am posting because I noticed that they are becoming too long. (same with my comments!!)
I like your idea on writing a blog post from other blog post, covering a different angle on the same topic. I also like your idea about using people’s comments to cover a blog topic on. That has give me more ideas for blog posts….Oh maybe I should start another blog
Cheers

You are in a pretty good situation there Lisa.. too many ideas. Many people find it hard to come up with ideas, so once you figure out how to use your ideas to your best advantage the sky is the limit
Hi Sean,
I think that no one quite understands my niche better than me. Excepting of course the master I learned the principles from and a couple of his deciples. I’m lucky to have attended a few UCLC’s and become aware of many laws of the universe.
Thanks also to your book The Law Of Attraction is another law of the universe that I have become aware of …in recent times.
I have restricted myself to Getting Article Marketing Ideas by choosing an exclusinve niche. I am following my passion though and I am sure that ideas will open up and present themselves during the course of time and learning.
Hi Sean, great more tips/helps. I agree with you saying “read more news” to come up with ideas for article writing and keywords are the main thing to search in order to come up with article subjects. Thanks Sean..
Cheers
Rose
