Article Writing - Get Inspiration For Topics By Reading Magazine Headlines

If you're writing articles to submit to article directories, or to add content to your home page or blog, you're probably in constant search for new ideas to write about.

One that works great is by checking the headlines on articles in your niche. Go to your nearest shopping center, and take a look at the magazines there. Or you can find them online, perhaps. See, what they are talking about, and get inspiration for articles, you can write yourself.

If you're in the weight loss business, you can probably find a large number of articles talking about how to lose weight. You should have enough knowledge about your niche to write your own article, solely inspired by the headline.

Also, a great way to find inspiration for your article titles are the headlines, the magazines use. You should know that these are designed to be eye-catching and selling. So if you can twist them around to suit your own use, you'll have a great headline for your article.

This doesn't necessarily have to be headlines from within your niche. You can substitute a word or two, and make it your own, in a totally different niche.

That way: "How To Lose Weight In Eight Simple Steps" could end up being "How To Get Your Ex Back In Eight Simple Steps", or whatever you're writing about.

When you're writing your article, you should obviously not copy the headline word by word. You should only use it for inspiration. If the magazine headline is "How To Lose Weight With Yoga", you could write an article titled "Weight Loss - Is Yoga Your Solution?" Just use the main idea as inspiration.

When you have the main idea, and if you don't know exactly what to write, you can do a search online. Find three sources, and skim through the articles. Search for the main points in these three sources, and write them down in your own words.

Now you should have enough to write a full article. Just start with an introduction to the subject, and write what you're about to write about. Tell the reader that they'll learn more about these three main points.

Then write a paragraph for each of the three main points. If you need a conclusion, you can do a resume, and tell the reader what you just told him.

There you go - you have your article written and done.
