8 Sources To Research Awesome Article Topics

Author : Priya Shah

Writing articles is by far the most effective online promotion
strategy I've come across. If you can write good, readable,
original content, you can easily put yourself far ahead of the
pack in your field of interest.

But article marketers and new article writers are often stumped
for topics to write about. Finding topics that appeal to your
readers can be time-consuming but well worth the effort.

Here are no less than eight awesome ways to research your market
and find newsy topics that attract loads of traffic and the
interest of your target audience.

1. Keyword Research Tools

To write an article that will get you a significant amount of
traffic, you need to write about topics that people are
searching for.

You also want to know which terms your target audience uses
while searching, so you can use them in your article title and
copy and increase the chance of being found by search engines.

Two excellent keyword research tools you should always use to
research article topics are Wordtracker and Overture's Keyword
Inventory Tool. http://www.wordtracker.com

2. Newsletters and Trade Journals

Subscribe to email newsletters, ezines and offline publications
related to your topic of interest. Reading what others in your
field are writing about will give you lots of ideas for your own
article topics.

It's easy to find newsletters that cover your topic online. If
you want to write about internet marketing, for instance, you
could search for "internet marketing newsletter" and find the
most well-read and respected publications in that field.

3. Google News Alerts

Google News Alerts is like a news aggregator that allows you to
receive news based on your keyword of choice.

When you subscribe, you'll receive the latest stories that carry
your keyword. Go through them and you may find some gems of
information that you can write up into a topical article based
on that story.

4. Press Release Alerts

Press releases are an excellent way to find out more about new
discoveries or advances in your field. These can make an
excellent topic for an opinion piece about that discovery or
development.

Search press release sites for the latest releases in the field
of your choice. You'll find a bunch of them listed here.

5. Online Forums

You can get some of your best article topics from other
professionals in your field. Online forums provide an abundance
of opinions, queries and ideas that might just make that
flashbulb go off in your brain.

Visit forums, lurk and read other's posts or participate in
discussions and benefit from the minds of some of the most
interactive people in your field.

6. Blogs

Blogs are a hotbed of discussion and opinion. They often carry
some very interesting and topical pieces that can help you
ideate.

Blog directories, a long list of which can be found at the link
below, are a good place to start looking for blogs written on
your topic of interest. http://www.masternewmedia.org/rss/top55/

7. Seminars and Conferences

One of the best ways to keep up with new ideas and developments
in your field is to attend seminars or conferences and network
with other people.

You can often come away with a bunch of ideas, at these
gatherings, and use them to write up articles.

8. Spy On The Competition

Check out your competitor's business and websites. They may be
using ideas or even making mistakes that could give you ideas
for articles on what does or doesn't work.

And finally, always remember to give credit (and a link back) to
the news sources that you cite in your article.
