Finding Article Topics That Sell
I get this question at least once a week so I thought it would make a good blog post. Finding topics to write about isn’t rocket science, in fact it’s easy and when you want to make a living as a writer – you need to write topics that will sell. Especially if you’re writing articles for the PLR or affiliate marketing niche markets.
Here are some of the ways I find topics that I know will sell to my website visitors.
1- Check your webstats. This is a treasure trove of good information. If I see searches hitting my site looking for “hip hop PLR” or “how to get y0ur ex back articles” – you can bet I’m gonna create an article set for those. I did that a while back with “extended auto warranty on used cars” and the PLR set sold out in 24 hours. I noticed over 100 hits in a single month period and they were coming from different IP’s so I knew it would be good.
2- Go to Ezinearticles.com, Ehow.com or LovetoKnow.com and put in “how to”, “cure for”, “get rid of” and other concentrated keywords and normally results will be returned in order from most to least popular. I wouldn’t have thought to write an article set “cure for bacterial vaginosis” that has been my number one best seller to date. I also found a niche on Bugaboo baby strollers in this way. If you’ve ever seen them – they retail for hundreds and hundreds of dollars so the commissions are sweeeeeeet.
3.Google trends is another good source. I pretty much stick to the top 20 but it’s a good way to find topics that are happening NOW.
4-Yahoo answers (yes I know billions of people use it for backlinks too but they are pretty easy to weed out) is another great place – see what questions are being asked and if you can match it to an affiliate product – your article set will have even more value.
Those are just a few of the techniques I use. I’ll post more for you soon. In the meantime – happy writing!
