How to Create an Article Series: Turn One Idea Into Four Articles

Why should you think of writing your articles in a series?

If you already have an article topic in mind, it pays to take that idea and run with it, creating a number of articles around it so that you ultimately earn more.

It makes sense when you think about it. Why not make your topic do double, triple or quadruple duty? If you can nail this whole series process and adopt the habit of writing a number of articles around a core topic, this will take your writing to a new level.

How to Create an Article Series

Using what, where, why and how to create four articles around a central idea.

1. One of the best ways to create an article series is to write your first article starting with the word “what.” That first “what article” is the foundation for the other articles to follow. A “what article” allows you to ask your readers a question: What is Kamut? You then answer this question and your answer is the basis for your entire article: Kamut is an ancient grain . . ..

2. Once you’ve created your first article, the second article can be based on the word “where”: Where You Can Find Kamut. You would, of course, discuss places where consumers could obtain this food item, such as whole food outlets or organic retailers.

3. Your third article could be centered around “why.” Why You Should Eat Kamut. An article such as this might discuss the nutritional benefits of eating Kamut.

4. The next article could be written using the word “how.” How to Cook With Kamut. If your readers are interested in eating a healthful diet and have read your previous articles, it’s a given they would be interested in Kamut preparation tips.

Once you get this process down it becomes easy to create an article series. And it makes sense when you think about it. Taking one idea and expanding on it is a great way to produce a body of articles around a core topic.

If you’ve created four articles using what, where, why and how, you can also use this formula to create more articles, using each of these four words to generate additional ideas:

• What You Should Know About Kamut
• Where Kamut is Grown
• Why Farmers Are Growing Kamut
• How to Use Kamut Flour in Recipes.

It’s a given that articles in a series should be interlinked so that one article leads on to another, which helps to generate views and earnings.

Recap: you can create an article series using what, where, why and how to generate ideas for multiple articles.

* You can also use the words “who” and “when” but you may find it harder to create articles around these two words: “who” limits you to discussing people: Who’s Who of Hollywood’s Hottest and “when” usually involves time: When It’s Time to Say Farewell.
