Topics

I tend to write out recipes online, because the possibilities are quite endless. Once in awhile I will right an intellectual piece (would write them more often, but they don't earn very well, people want simple things to read)usually after I get inspiration from reading another persons article; I will write a lengthy comment(usually when I disagree, or strongly agree and have points to add) on an article, then I turn it into an article. Sometimes these ideas and theories just pop into my head once in awhile when I am thinking, and so it goes from there. Sometimes I just randomly get ideas and so quickly write an article; those are usually strange or humorous things.

Sometimes an idea will be brought on by something on TV or the radio. Other times I will go to the library and browse the different books and a subject will come to me that I will research more or write about. I have even gotten article ideas here on mylot where someone asked a question and I found I had enough information to write a whole article on the subject. I actually wrote at article on Triond about finding things to write about. You can find it here if you are interested in reading it: http://writinghood.com/writing/how-to-find-things-to-write-about-when-you-cant-think-of-what-to-write-about/ I think you will find it helpful. I also like to write articles about places I travel to. Reviewing hotels, giving details and advice about what to see and do.

I personally write for textbroker and select from the articles on their site. I enjoy it and is a reasonably lucrative PT job for me.

well i wouldnt know if that kind of writing would apply to what ive learned or been taught by my course i took years ago. but they said, write about your life, or things in your life, but make sure you write about things you know.

I use to have a weekly column for may years - well - at least ten years. The only piece of advice is this - if possible write about what you know and are familiar with. Of course, if it is something that has to be researched then be thorough. Make sure that the artice is grammaticaly correct and do not make the sentences too long or wordy in order to meet the required number of words. Best of luck

Well, I should like the topic first of all. It should tickle my imagination as well as my emotion for me to be able to write about it. Sometimes there are topics that are boring.

Finding a subject that would appeal to many readers is difficult for me to do. I wrote a few articles on Hubpages and did well for awhile. My most popular article was about adoption. I made it brief and to the point. Thought little details would turn the readers off. Will follow your discussion here and see how others think of a new topic to write about that would appeal to readers.

I write for AC. Sometimes I choose from the article assignments they have. Other times I choose from life. My kids are a good source of inspiration. I have a 23 month old. I wrote a short article on "Binkies".

I have two methods of choosing topics for my articles now. When I'm on the move, I tend to write on something that is familiar or from the top of my head. It could be about a personal experience about a topic, or something I can brainstorm in a couple of minutes. I usually type this on my hp and later upload them onto the writing sites. But if I have a chance to do some research online, I'd attempt to research on a good keyword to write about. But the most important thing is that the topic must interest me a lot so that I'd be inspired to write about it quickly. In fact sometimes I can generate a couple of angles from a single topic if the topic interests me a lot! I have to write quickly too before my interest for that topic wanes, which often does and I'm left with lots and lots of unfinished writing drafts in my folder.

It is a good decision.This worl need many ideas, so that all may get benefit from it.Now we the people of world are pasing through a very very crucial phase.In some parts accute poverty, somewhere terrorism, and also high unemployment and so on. All these to be solved for peace and good leaving.Many have many ideas.That can be expressed through writings in media, online, journal etc.So you decision to start writing is welcome.Wish you success.

Hi, may I ask how much you earn per article you write?

I'm not really one to write topics as much as I write reviews for what I see and read. It just depends on what I read and if I feel like writing my reviews.

i write on Factoidz. Most of my articles are on either dogs or Paganism because that what I know, but I also write on anything I want to learn about. I try to write at least one article a day. My topic decision comes alot from how much time I have and if at that moment their is something I wanted to learn about. When I'm in a hurry I write about a dog, if I have nothing that I want to learn about I write about religion and if I have the time and interest I do the research and write about something I want to learn all about. Good luck on your writing career!

i usually get ideas from life in general, from stuff i read, hear on the radio or tv or just experience.

I have been doing online writing too at different sites. The site that I keep most busy is "Review Stream". That's where one can write brief reviews on a variety of topics, things one comes across in the day-to-day activities, shopping, restaurants, movies, websites, travel, and so on, and get paid when the review submission is accepted. Writing is my hobby and I am enjoying that very much. Have a nice day !

hi dorannmwin I keep intending to enter helium but get cold feet wondering if my writing is good enough to be accepted as I can usually think of topics. But can I smooth out my grammar and writing'so they will accept it? I am my own worst critic when it comes to writint when it counts like that. I usually think of things we all have in common whether its issues with school or work or families.But then I freeze thinking oh they will not accept this. So I am a wuss.

Good for you to start writing articles. I hear it can be quite profitable. I don't write articles so I can't be of any help. I have a hard time trying to come up with discussions on here (which is probably why I rarely start any). It seems like when I do come up with a good discussions I do a search for it and low and behold if someone hasn't started a discussions very similar to mine.

I am writing occasionally, for blogs usually.the thing that is most important for me to consider is that I am interested in the topic I am writing about :)
