If you really want a topic to write on that will interest others, pay
attention to what is going on around you and determine what interests
you and other people. Think of any problems you may have recently had
and solved also other problems that others have had and solved. Any
problem that you have personally experienced and solved could easily
be translated into an interesting article or book. Chances are that
other people have had the same problem, and they would love to read
how someone else have solved the same problem they have.
So, have a think about any problems in your life and in the lives of
your friends and relatives. They do not necessarily have to be life
threatening problems, but they do have to be interesting ones to which
other people can relate. Has anyone lost their job lately? How did they
manage? Did it give them a new start in life, one which they may not
have considered while they had a steady job? While you're on the case,
think of other unsolved problems you have come across. Are there any
which are not yet solved? Good! People will really be interested in
those. Here are a few ideas:
• How can a middle aged sedentary male lose ten pounds?
• How do you fix the registry on a PC?
• What’s the quickest way to make money online?
• Has there been a teenage pregnancy in your family?
• How can you make
money online?
• Do you know any money saving tips to cope with the ever-increasing
cost of living?
Answers to these questions problems would be great topics for your
articles or e-books. Remember, you don't have to know the answers yourself;
you can always hire someone else to research the topic and write the
book for you, or you can do your own research, using a search engine.
You can do an online search for just about anything.
Research the most popular books from www.amazon.com. Click on “best
sellers” – this will show what people are currently buying.
Choose a book preferably non-fiction, and perhaps do a paraphrase of
certain bits of it. Why non-fiction? Fiction readers tend to like physical
books with covers and pages. They like to read books by their favorite
authors – that’s why the books you see at an airport usually
have the author’s name in bolder type than the actual title if
the book. Of course fiction is difficult to write well, and you certainly
wouldn’t write an article of fiction. So stick with nonfiction
unless you're feeling particularly bold and experimental.
Nonfiction books such as self improvement or making extra money are
always popular, and will provide good topics for your article.
Don’t worry that you are breaching copyright by paraphrasing
parts of a book. Ideas are not copyrighted - copyright law only protects
the way in which ideas are expressed, so provided you have done a complete
rewrite, and have not copied book text outright, you will be safe. As
an example, compare the storyline of “West Side Story” with
that of “Romeo and Juliet”. The idea of both works is exactly
the same, yet they are completely separate works.
So, to summarize, find out what people are interested in, write about
it, and become a successful article writer!
