Article Writing - What Do I Write About?

I guess I got a little ahead of myself, didn't I? I moved on to writer's block when you might still be asking, "What do I write about?"

Here are a few suggestions to get you started.

If you have a website or product:

Choose keywords and use them as springboards. For example, if you have a website that specializes in carpeting, there are many aspects of carpeting your readers will be interested in: texture, style, quality, padding, color, installation, etc. Choose one of these keywords and start a list of keywords within that category. As you write your list of keywords, ideas for articles will form in your mind and you can easily put them into words.

Talk about the benefits of your product or service. While editors of article directories have the right to refuse publication of articles written purely for advertisement, they will likely publish articles that tell about the benefit of carpeting over wood flooring or vinyl. If you stick to the benefits of choosing quality carpeting and then include your web address in the resource box, you will likely have a publishable article.

Talk about the different uses for your product or service. Tell about the various rooms that are most suitable for carpeting or the best carpet to use in a bedroom versus a bathroom. If some rooms aren't suitable for carpet, in your opinion, write an article about that and explain why you have that opinion. Readers are looking for information, good or bad, and will be glad for another viewpoint that maybe they hadn't thought of.

Write about your experience in starting or buying your business. Many, many people are looking for business opportunites and are wondering if they are suited to starting or running their own business. Personal success stories are a great motivator for others to pursue their own dreams of owning or running their own business. Be honest about it. Don't try to make it all sound rosy if it wasn't. Readers are more interested in honesty than in being made to feel good.

If you do not have a website or business:

The world of article writing is open to everyone. If people are curious about it, there is a market for it. Article directories are not just for people who want to write about business or online pursuits.

Here are just a few topics that are available for article submission:
