ARTICLE WRITING NEWBIE

13 replies
Hi Guys,
I'm new to article marketing and I read that you have to write a lot of articles on your niche that your trying to promote. (at least 1 article a day)

Lets sat I'm promoting hot dogs (just an example)

I can write about 5 articles off the top of my head about hot dogs.
but..
After awhile I'm gonna run outta things to say about hot dogs.

How would I keep writing about that subject? I here that some people even write at least 5 articles a day.
I don't under stand how you can write so much about that one particular subject day after day. I'm confused. Can anyone help?
Thanks!:confused:

    It gets easier the more you do it. When you first start off you think there is no way you can write more than 5 articles about hot dogs. Then you start trying to look at hot dogs a different way, and think about things RELATED to hot dogs, and it gets easier.

    History of Hot Dogs
    How Hot Dogs are Made (probably gross)
    Nutritional Benefits of Hot Dogs
    Alternative Hot Dogs (Veggie, Turkey, etc)
    Top 5 Hot Dog Brands
    5 Hot Dog Recipes that are more than just "Stick it on a Bun"
    Best Hot Dog Mustard
    How to make a "true" Chicago Style Dog

    etc.

    I could write 1000 articles on Hot Dogs lol

    I once spend hours roaming through wikipedia reading all about them - then I watched some youtube videos on making corn dogs (I've never seen them in the UK)

    The thing I like a hot dogs is the different regional recipes:

    Chicago hot dogs
    Coney I-Lander
    The Fenway Frank
    etc.

    Then you'll got the steamed/grilled/fried debate

    And we haven't even touched on the condiments yet!

    Kierkegaard - your post is hilarious! You sound totally enthused (& genuine) about the prospect of writing about Hot Dogs. It sounds like you have passion and are meant to write. I hope your sig drives some article business your way - you sound great!

    Getting whole lot of topics might be tricky and that's normal. Although one thing that could help you generate trending topics from Hotdogs for instance is through Google trends or Google reader.

    For Google Reader, it's just simple to setup. Go to www.google.com/reader and then sign in through your primary email or other gmail account. From there, add a subscription by clicking on "Add a subscription" and typing in Hotdogs. It'll generate a number of results or different blogs covering Hotdogs topics and then you could generate topics by following these blogs' feeds as well.

    I hope this helps.

    Hello ,
    Yes the prospect of article writing topics can become daunting. However there are many, mny articles that can be wrtien on any topic, and ech one unique.
    I know what you mean though, the creativity and ideas tend to drpm off quickly,
    That happens to me a lot and I use a couple of techniques (there are many more) to suggest new article titles.

    1. Good 'ol Google:
    Do an "intitle" search and set your advanced options to show 100 results per page.

    Now,check the titles of the websites for article ideas. Not all of them are going to make sense, but many of them will. One advantage of using this method is that you have some ready made resource material on the website in question. I have used "hot dogs" as the earch term, but you would also be able to use "hot dog" or "good hot dogs" etc etc..

    2.Good 'ol Google Wonder Wheel
    Click on the wonder wheel option and keep delving down to see various potential article titles. Click on any of the spoke links to see more suggestions.

    3. Ezinearticles.com

    Do a search site:ezinearticles.com intitle:hot dog to show articles on Ezinearticles which have the words "hot dog " in the title ......of course you cannot use the same title, but it does help to give you ideas. I noticed, there are already 214 articles on Ezinearrticle with hot dog in the title..LOL
    I usually set the advanjced search option to show 100 results per page.

    4. A spreadsheet suggestor...
    I have a spreadsheet with 100 "generic" titles built in..I have attached it (in a zip file)....all you need to do is enter a new term in cell A1, and click somewhere and your words will be included in the 100 titles. They dont always make sense for all tiltle, but again its a help to jog your memory...

    Hope this is of some help....

      You can rotate what you have written in the previous articles in a different way. This way you may write some more articles. You can even take reference from the article directories for new ideas.

        When all else fails, Google "Free PLR Articles" and maybe even include your niche topic. Some websites give away thousands of PLR articles in a pack for free in exchange for a simply email address. (So create a new email addy and be prepared for plenty of emails).

        Then, rewrite the articles (don't just change a few words) and submit those to the article directories. That way, you don't have to worry about running dry on topics.

        Plus, you can write about the same topic multiple times and just change the keyword phrase and your words. There's nothing saying you have to stick to one article per topic.

    Yeah its going to get boring real fast writing about the same thing over and over. Try to promote at least 2 different things at once so that you don't succumb to brain fart syndrome.

    For content ideas I usually just head to google and put in a keyword and then click search.

    Next I just go through whatever is ranking in the first page and see if there is something new I can add to my articles to make it unique and different so that everything doesn't sound the same.
