How do you expand one topic idea into several for several articles?This is a question that many people ask of me when they find out that I am a content writer. That is a simple answer but it does take some time to explain. Rather than explaining it, I will describe exactly what I do this way the idea is grasped better.
Take a sheet of paper from your printer and draw a circle in the middle of it write the word Christmas. Now draw lines off that circle, we will be writing off those lines. Write one of the following topics on a line, then move to the next line, and put a new word on there.
Add the following words decorations, presents, food, crafts, memories, customs, and Miscellany. Now write different types of decorations under the decoration lines, and do the same with presents, food, crafts, and the others. Under presents you could add men, women, boy, girl, baby, pet, the possibilities are endless.
This is how you take one topic and expand it into many other topics. Each idea becomes a separate article. For instance, how many gifts for males can you think of? There are cheap, romantic, necessary, funny, and clothing gifts for men of all ages. Your little piece of paper can hold hundreds of article ideas, now you simply choose which articles you wish to create.
This method works with any holiday and almost any topic such as ice cream. There are sundaes, recipes, occasions to eat it, and even famous makers of ice cream. The piece of paper gives you an idea board that you can see, and use as a backdrop for creating the articles. Suddenly any writing blocks are gone and you feel creative once more.
Let us discuss research. Just say screw it and forget about it. I hate doing research for an article unless it truly interests me, or it is for a good amount of pay. An hour or two of research for a boring topic is not worth my time to write if I am only making five bucks or less on it.
This is why most freelance writers write on topics that they know plenty about. That is my first tip write what you know. If you write what you know, then you can create an article very quickly. Research takes excessively much time unless the dollar amount makes the article worth your time.
Research is not boring if the topic interests you, but if you decide to write an article on a topic that does not interest you will get bored with the research. Most of the time you will get frustrated and quit writing the article if you have no personal interest in it. Therefore, if you try to find something you like about it then chances are you will finish the article and do a good job on it.
There are plenty of content sites out here, which will pay you money to write an article that does not require any type of research. If you want to spend hours, doing research for an article that will pay you a few dollars then have at it. Me I prefer to write what I know off the top of my head.
