4 Tips For Creating Article Ideas

Article marketing is a task that should be performed on a weekly basis. It’s possible you might run out of topics to write about and when this happens, you may stress about it because you know how important it is to use articles to grow your business.
You may have tried the traditional ways to come up with article ideas and those would include brainstorming, elaborating on blog posts, and asking your customers or clients for suggestions. There are a couple of suggestions that are less traditional but work just the same or even better.
1. Magazines
Find magazines that are specifically geared toward your target market and look through them for article ideas. Check with your local library to see if they have past issues of the magazines you’re looking for. Another idea is to look online to see if the magazines you need are online. Not only will you come up with article ideas based on the content, but it’s also possible to come up with ideas on your own when you read through the magazine.
2. Special reports
Special reports are more detailed than articles, but they contain less information than what you’d find in an ebook. It doesn’t matter if you wrote the report or if someone else wrote it, you can still come up with article ideas. You can use the key points and write your own information or you can use the ideas in the major points to come up with the ideas.
3. Ebooks
Ebooks contain detailed information on a specific topic. You can use ebooks to come up with article ideas based on the content in general or you can use each topic to write your own thoughts and opinions.
4. Books
Books based on your business or what you write about in your articles is another idea that will help you come up with article ideas. Read through the table of contents and if that’s not enough try the first few chapters or try the ones that deal specifically with your market or business.
There are times when nothing comes to mind for article ideas or you may find yourself in a situation where you think you’ve written an article on every idea there is. When this happens you may feel like giving up on article marketing all together. That’s the wrong thing to do because article marketing is the best way to grow your business for free. When you use these suggestions and the traditional ones you’re sure to come up with more articles to write.
