| Newsletter and blog publishers are hungry for new content to present to their readers. You don't have to reinvent the wheel, but you do have to rewrite it some to make it interesting and useful to the publisher's readers. That means: • Provide fresh looks at old ideas Not much new exists today that cannot be restated or reordered to make it a new article with great possibilities for traffic generation. The browsing public is starving for information on any topic imaginable. You can find out what they are looking for in your niche by using any keyword generator. You will know how many people looked for your specific keywords last month. If you plan on using articles to drive traffic to your products, wouldn't that be handy information to have BEFORE you start writing articles? • Offer new solutions to old problems we all share There's more than one way to fix a stuck drawer, make your car shine like a jewel, remove the mystery stain on your kid's new shirt or get better phone service. Problems are everywhere. We all have more than we need and the reading public is no different. A list that promises a new way to overcome everyday hassles is usually warmly welcomed by newsletter publishers because anyone can relate to the information. Be creative and your articles will be appearing all over the Internet. If you have a humorous story about how you discovered the solution or had to create it, add it to the article. Do not write in a technical, stilted manner. Just make sure your solutions work. If you have enough solutions to the same problem to make several articles, do it. • Create a new list of steps to get something done People everywhere love hand-holding and step-by-step lists of techniques or processes to make their life easier, especially when they are dealing with some of the new, popular technical aspects of the Web 2.0 social media. These articles are in every article directory and people flock to them. Most want to know how to master these vague processes that do so much "wizardry" on web pages. If you know how to master one of the processes that baffle so many people, you have just struck article gold. Write a step-by- step tutorial that starts at the beginning and finishes with a completed process. You see examples in your email box all day long with titles like "5 Secrets To Unlock _______," "Easy PHP Scripts to ______" or "How to _____." Read some articles in any directory on your niche topic and get ideas for new articles on the same subject. Ideas are not copyrightable and any that pop into your head while you're reading the competition are yours to use as you wish. • Share your grandmother's family secret biscuit recipe (ask her first though) A lot of useful information and techniques are fading away as the new generations flock to the "new stuff" like hungry seagulls on a deserted beach. Our heritage is full of the ways our grandparents or great- grandparents used to create safe havens for their families and most of it is quietly crumbling into archival dust. Those methods can be resurrected from old bibles, handwritten cookbooks or the memories of your aging relatives and made into articles and even ebooks that would be popular today. |
