Four Ways to Come Up with Article Ideas

1. Look at current events that you hear about in everyday life, the kind of things that people would Google or at least click on if the opportunity was presented. A perfect example would be Michael Jackson (R.I.P.), as after he died there was a ridiculous amount of news coverage devoted to him.
2. Controversial issues are also a good way to come up with article ideas, because everyone has an opinion on them, everyone has an interest in them, and there are plenty of options. I could write an entire page full of examples of controversial issues, but a few are cloning, abortion, and euthanization.
3. If you know a lot about something, write about that, in any way possible. For example, if I was an auto mechanic and wanted to write an article, I would have the most success in writing an article about cars.
4. When all else fails, write a “How-to” or “Self-Help” type of article. If you have ever been to a book store, you have probably seen that there is an entire section devoted entirely to self-help type books. Everyone is looking for ways to better themselves, so this type of writing does very well, despite the fact that very rarely does a self-help book actually work, as that would require the reader to actually use the information that they have been given. and example of “how-to” articles would be “how to improve your handwriting”, or “ways to come up with article ideas”.

I hope that I have helped you in some way to overcome the writer’s block that everyone experiences at some point, and wish you the best of luck in continuing to write.
