Writing An Article? Find Interesting Topics To Write On

By Jimmy Walker

Many of you have been there. You find yourself sitting at your desk, looking at a blink Word document, and thinking of a topic to write on. You want to write on a topic that webmasters and web surfers would be interested in. But you can’t seem to think of anything that is interesting or that you have expertise in.

I am sure you have wondered how some authors are able to publish hundreds of articles online. Ever wondered where they get so many interesting ideas? The answer is all around you. As you sit and read this article on finding new article topics, there are possibly several ideas for topics, literally, within your reach that you can write on.

For example, take a look at your desk. You, like most of us, may have paper scattered all over it, lunch from two weeks ago hidden behind the monitor, and half of the ties you own stuffed in one of the drawers. Well, I am exaggerating a little, but you get the idea. The question you can ask yourself is how would I fix this? How simple can that be? Figuring out a way to remedy this problem can become useful information that can potentially be used by millions of workers with the same problem.

Another overlooked source for article topics is your television. Television shows and news programs are full of ideas for article topics. For example, while watching the local news, a report on a family that has been exposed to carbon monoxide nearly dies from the poisonous, odorless gas. Again, question how you would have remedied this problem and what you would do to prevent it from happening in the future? If you are not familiar with certain aspects of a subject, be sure to do your homework.

Browsing the internet, driving in your car, and listening to the radio are also great sources to find potential article topics. What about talking to coworkers and friends? In many cases, conservations with friends are usually dominated by problems that friend is currently experiencing. Some conversations may even lead to the remedy of a particular problem. After generalizing the conversation, you will have an article topic to write on, with a real life reference as proof.

Webmasters and internet users are constantly looking for fresh, useful information. The range of that information is as wide as your imagination can span. Provide information that users will find helpful and objective.
