    Hello all,

    I have read a lot of topics on these forums and learned a lot :) Last week I came to the point I knew enough about internet marketing and how to tackle it so I started some sort of campaign for myself. I got a lot of views on some articles with a lot of hops. So I was happy with the start.

    I am not a quitter and won't give up on article marketing so here's my question after getting stuck now.

    How can I generate more ideas on what to write about. I wrote some articles for several product but always had a max of 5 articles. After that, I ran out of ideas and it is going to take too much time to write a new article for it after that.

    Hopefully you can give me some tips or tricks which can help me out.

    Thanks.

    Think of a general topic such as heart health. Then brainstorm all the niches around it. Also, you can go to google.com, search for the topic and look at the wheel for more micro niches for ideas.

    Good luck!

    I always do brainstorming with my notebook, pen and a glass of hot milk. I write down anything that comes to mind. These are just article ideas or topics. After I ran out of topics to write, I read each one and see if I could still branch it out to a few more topics or write an article with similar topic, but on a different angle.

    Just remember though that it is not all about the numbers, but of finding the right angle to which you will write your articles. Writing one the right way and with a punch is better than writing a hundred without getting your message across.

    Hope I am of help :)

    Getting depth in your subject, study similar ones, learn from others how to write the same topic...

    Do a search for your niche you are in. Read over a few articles and find out what the most common questions are for it. Write up an article on each question.

    Try and read lots of blogs in your niche. After a little bit of reading you'll find some ideas. I like to keep a notepad and pencil handy sa ideas seem to pop into my head at the most random times

    You can also take help of suggestor tools... Type your niche keyword in Google, yahoo, youtube etc. and press spacebar (do not press enter).. You will see a list of phrases that people are searching for in that niche... If you are stuck for ideas you can also search for discover keywords in Google.. some of the best discovery keywords are

    how to
    how do I
    fix
    reduce
    cure
    treat
    get rid of

    and so on..

    Hope that helps,
    Anup

    As you read, there are many ways you can write new articles. Another possibility would be that you buy you a book or eBook and read it and learn other subjects, on which you can then write a new article.
