Content Creation Ideas
A popular phrase when it comes to Internet marketing, SEO, and making money online is that "content is king." In some ways it is very true because if you want traffic from the search engines, you need to provide the answers to the queries users are searching for.
The problem is that everyone at some point will reach a phenomenon known as "writer's block." If you are struggling for ideas on what to write about on your site then take a look at this list of content creation ideas.
1. Current Events - You can find current events and relate them to your site via a lot of different media. Look at Google News (search for keywords in your niche), Digg, Stumbleupon, Delicious, and Twitter.
2. Tutorials - Write a step-by-step guide on how to do something related to your market.
3. Make a List - Rankings based on popularity, quality, or whatever you can think of pertaining to your niche.
4. Analytics - Search through your site's analytics to find keywords that users are searching for that you may not have an answer for. If you provide the answer to a long tail search phrase it's easy to get ranked no. 1.
5. Questions - Find questions that consumers in your market are asking and write an article detailing the answer. Don't know what the questions are? Search through forums, Yahoo answers, or Wordtracker.
There you have 5 quick and easy content creation ideas so you can get past the writers block and start putting out content that people are interested in. You can use these ideas for your own site or when doing article marketing, either way it works great!
