Garfield It’s All About Writing &

Article writing ideas are everywhere. If you are strategic enough you can get many article writing ideas from others in your niche that have already written an article.

It's all about angles

One of the favorite TV shows for both of my sons is "Drake and Josh" on Nickelodeon. In a recent episode Drake takes Josh to play pool for the first time. Josh who is a bit of a brainiac, shoots perfectly his first time out. When Drake asks in amazement how he could do it, Josh responds "It's just Geometry. It's all about angles."

And that marks a great example of where to find article ideas and the first time I have ever directly used and benefited from Geometry class as an adult.

Take your own angle

To apply this example simply read other articles in your niche, especially those in magazines if their is a magazine for your niche. Remember that these magazines have spent hundreds or thousands of dollars finding out what the reader wants to know. Borrow and learn from it. Another great place to read other articles in your niche is on the article directories.

All you have to do is find an angle that was not taken by the writer and/or write a better article. What did the writer miss? What angle did the writer not take that could make it a better article or a completely different article that comes from you.

Remember it's all about angles when creating ideas for your articles.
