Wherever there’s a complaint, there’s a need. Was someone on a forum complaining about no instructions on how to turn a blog into a Static site?

Well, you can’t give them full instructions in a quick Directory article – full instructions would probably be an eBook. But you can write an article such as: “3 Reasons To Turn Your Blog Into A Static Website” –

Then point them to your own blog or site, where you can point them to your own full instructional eBook, or to an affiliate product you’re reviewing that will give them what they need to know in more detail.

So complaints are a big clue for your article subjects.

Other sources – browse articles already in Directories like EzineArticles. See what’s been done – and give it a new twist.

This is really important! Always do your best to address the one question not being answered, or take a familiar subject one step further, and you will never want for popularity as a writer!

And don’t forget – just finding a good long-tailed keyword will tell you what people are searching for!

Other places to help you spark ideas:

Google Trends
Keyword Discovery
AdwordsKeywordToolExternal
Google Zeitgeist
Google Suggest
My Goals.com
freekeywords.wordtracker
Magazines.com

A more organic approach you should also practice consists of carrying a small notebook and pen in your purse or pocket, wherever you go. TIP:

Keep more than one. Keep one in your car, and one in each purse, so you'll never be caught without something on which to jot down article ideas.

Make a habit of going through all your notebooks at least once a week.

Keep a simple text file on your desktop marked "Article Ideas". Every time you read something that sparks an idea - write down. (Copy-paste the link where you got it, too, so you can refer back to it if you need to.) Or if you prefer, you can use an online `notepad' like TiddlyWiki or EverNote.

And don’t neglect “instant” sources of ideas like Twitter. If you haven’t joined Twitter yet, don’t waste any more time – go do it. You get concentrated, instant posts, which provide you with plenty of:

· Clues
· Information
· Complaints
· Requests

And more.

Even for people on dial-up, Twitter is fast and efficient.

And not only is it a great source of Article ideas – you can announce your articles there too!
