I write for associated content and really need some ideas for articles. I enjoy writing about health, wellness, but am having a bad case of writer's block. Can anyone suggest some topics for me? Anything is fine, questions, topic suggestions etc. Please help, I am really needing this income.

Hmmm. There was a new report about on a study on Atkins and three other diets. I posted about it here: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/886496.aspx Have you ever written about the connection between sleep apnea and weight gain/weight loss? That's very interesting. What's it like to write for associated content? How's it work out? Do you actually make money? (I'm a freelancer, too.)

Whenever I have writer's block, I just randomly search around on this site. Something almost always hits me and I'll start writing again.

I also write for Associated Content, so I don't want to give away any of my ideas! However, I actually find that myLot has been helpful in inspiring me to write. A lot of the discussions that are started are too vague or silly to actually write an entire quality article about, but they still might help you think of some related topics. You could search for health discussions specifically. You just want to make sure that you aren't actually stealing someone else's idea or copying anything word for word, although I'm sure you wouldn't do that anyways.

I just started writing for Associated Content and I just got paid $4.50 for my first article. I'm also having a bit of a crisis on topics for my articles. MyLot has given me some good ideas on topics though. Have you thought of doing movie or music reviews? Also, whenever I'm curious about a subject I look it up on the internet, research a bit then write about what I have learned. Not only do I learn something in the process, but I also get to share it with others. And the pay is always a bonus as well! Good luck to you on your future articles.

Try an article about the shoalin monks and their amazing ablities. You can find tons of info and pics on the net. Besides everybody loves reading about the monks.

I write for Associated Content as well. So far, they've taken everything I've offered them. I write about local events, local tourist attractions in my area, relationship advice, health and wellness, and the paranormal. Lately, I've mostly been writing about the paranormal because that's what I've been paying the most attention to. I also write about social issues, like Darfur, and of course, holidays are always big. You could write about Easter activities in your town, or Passover activities, for instance.
