5 Ingenious Ways To Develop Killer Articles That Get Read
You just finished writing your "masterpiece" of an article on how to cook an earthworm quiche, and boy is it a good one! You log back into your article directory of choice a week later and notice that not a single person has downloaded your article. Needless to say this is frustrating and it can be completely avoided by doing some basic research first.Whenever the article writing muse takes over my body I resist the temptation at first and implement one of the following five research methods to find a topic in my niche I KNOW will be popular and helpful to others.1) The Social Brainstorming MethodThis method is extremely easy to implement and you could have a killer article topic in seconds. One of the first places I visit is a forum or a chat room that is targeted to my area of expertise. Pay close attention to the questions people are asking. This will give you an indication of what kind of information they need. In about five minutes I generally come up with 10-20 article topics from forums and chat rooms.2) The Talk Show MethodThis method is not something I do on purpose. In the evening while watching a game or television show, I pay special attention to the commercials and the topics of the various shows being advertised on the networks. Although it may sound funny, some of my best ideas come from advertisements for talk shows and what they will be featuring later that day or the next. Hot topics always reveal themselves on television news and commercial breaks. Keep a pen and pad handy while you watch your favorite show!3) The Survey MethodIf you already have a customer base, either through a website or a newsletter you run, set up a brief survey asking what topics people would like to hear more about. This method can actually bring the greatest results because people who have similar interests tend to communicate frequently. By writing an article you know has an audience (like for your newsletter) you can send out a link to the actual article and more often than not it will get passed around at a very fast pace. You may even get new subscribers by doing this.4) The Barnes
