How To Generate Great Ideas For Associated Content Articles
The challenge of the writer who has decided to work at home is to come up with new, fresh ideas. I challenged myself today to write five Helium articles and four Associated Content articles. Fortunately I had an idea list on notepad, with a shortcut to it on my menu, or that goal would have been quite a stretch…and it still was, considering I only can really write on what I am inspired to write about. I’m still working out the best ways to make income with articles and….
Some of the things that have helped me to generate ideas are:
1) Reading Helium articles, and seeing that I could contribute something on the same topic. And writing on it right then and there actually saves time because I don’t have to decide what category to put my article in. All I have to do above the article I am reading is to click “Write Now”. Then my inspiration there gets to be so long I figure I will capture it to Associated Content instead and make more for it. If I reach back and still submit to Helium I might quickly write something that is different but based on my first ideas and inspirations but not as long.
2) Keeping a notepad with me at all time and when an thought hits me as fast as lightning, I write it down. An notion hit me in the store today while I was on my way to purchase two car parts. Lisp! Write it down, in case.
3) Talking with my neighbors in the building helps to construct more ideas.
4) I note what is popular on magazines, what is popular on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
5) I keep a clippings file of things that resonate to my personal energy. It’s easier for me to write about things I am interested in and know about already than to research an article to write.
6) I do keyword surfing at Triond.com, when I read and write articles there, for their keywords for Kontera advertising, to see what topics are popular and be used with advertising. To do this, I read one article there, write down the keywords, click on the title to another article on the right hand column, write down its keywords, and sustain doing that. I waste up reading topics I would not have sought out. This broadens my perspectives and brings me to topics I would not have thought of otherwise.
7) I keep lists of the keywords at Associated Content also.
Library books and magazines can give ideas. Something wouldn’t be on the front page of a magazine if it weren’t popular.
9) Ask friends and subscribers to your articles what they would be involved in reading about.
10) Keep a list of moving topics when you are web surfing.
11) I participate in a paid to post discussion forum and the topics discussed there spark my creativity and bring me ideas. http://www.mylot.com/? ref=dancia2007. The pay won’t make you rich any time soon, but who else can say that they get paid to network and to come up with writing ideas, anyway? 
12) I read news articles occasionally and realize that some of them could lend to some pretty hot topics. However, I do focus mostly on evergreen content (converse that stays pertinent and doesn’t go out of date.)
13) Sleep on it, and use your dreams to give you ideas.
14) Be a researcher with a positive attitude. Know that you will succeed to create the income that you want if you work with legitimate companies.
Now, what my quandary is, is that I have an addiction to IDEAS, now I just need to sit down and WRITE. Ah! Writer’s procrastination! Goal-setting was my friend today. This article is the fulfilment of the goal set. So, 5 Helium articles and 4 Curious AC articles was a bit much, but you can hone your goals as you work, and use time that you are not working on articles to near up with ideas and research for articles.
KEYWORDS IDEAS
Don’t just throw these in if they don’t execute sense!! I write my article according to the ideas I have, without looking at it, then add information that is appropriate to include a few keywords so that AC gets more revenue. I write it in Microsoft Word usually, then turn the keywords red to see what their distribution is – not too many, not too few. When I paste it into AC, the formatting cleanup takes the red off. Also, on their own, keywords can also help to generate ideas. Satisfactory luck!
