How to Generate Article Ideas for Associated Content
A suggestion for writers – get a piece of paper and pen to keep with you while you read this article. You may even just get ideas that pop into your head as you read the titles. They may jog your memory of great topics and things you could be writing about. So write down your ideas as they come to you.
Another tip for writers – when ideas come to you look for ways you can expand on the idea to make them into multiple article ideas. So if you get the idea to write about your most memorable New Year’s Eve experience and how others can have a great New Year’s Eve – try to think of other New Year’s Eve article ideas as well. Then think of other ideas about parties you have been to, or celebrations you have attended. Just keep playing with the idea, letting it expand in your head. Doing this on a piece of paper can be very helpful, just seeing the ideas in front of you.
Write About What You Talk About
Think about what you talk about with your friends and family. Do you talk about an upcoming wedding? Article ideas could include How To Find The Perfect Wedding Gift or Planning The Best Bridal Shower. Do you like to talk about American Idol? You could always write a biography article about your favorite singers, or write a recap of the most current show. Conversations with just about anyone – from conversations you have had at your day job to conversations you have had at school or conversations you have with your best friend – they all can lead to article ideas.
Write About What You Love
If you are passionate about something – then you probably should be writing about it. No matter your skill level, you have a perspective that is interesting that others would want to read about. Let’s say for example that you have just started taking yoga classes and you really like them. You could write an article about what it is like to take your first yoga class, or an article about what to wear to take a yoga class. You could also write an article about the benefits of yoga, how it has improved or helped you and why you like taking this class.
Write About What You Don’t Like
The other side of the coin…sometimes you can get great article ideas from things you haven’t been so pleased with. Perhaps you are critical of a product or an experience you have had. Maybe you got a new haircut because everyone is getting a particular haircut and you just don’t like it. Maybe you tried acrylic nails and you just can’t stand them. You could probably get a very funny article out of these experiences. Or you could also write a product review explaining exactly why you did not like something, informing others of your experience so they would not have to go through it themselves.
Write About Your Life Experiences
Are you now wondering what to write about…thinking that your life is a bit quiet or not that interesting? Well, think of the vacations that you have taken, the restaurants you have eaten in, the movies you have seen, the books you have read, the holidays you have celebrated and the hobbies that you have enjoyed (or even the hobbies you have tried and have not stuck with). These could all be great article fodder. Even challenging experiences – looking for a house or planning a special event like a family reunion – could make great articles, or even a series of articles.
