Developing Ideas For Feature Articles

Steven Van Yoder's picture

Even though you are probably not an experienced journalist, coming up with ideas for articles is not hard. Most “expert” feature stories are how-to pieces aimed at educating readers on a particular topic related to the author’s industry. Another strategy involves case histories or application stories-- showing readers how a business solved a problem or addressed a need.

Save relevant news stories as launching points and ready-made research for your articles. Gather publications that serve your target market, and look for ideas that relate to your business. Look to your own experiences and those of your colleagues and clients—there's plenty of good material all around you.

Study your chosen publications and determine the types of stories each of them seems to favor—then use them as starting points for your own ideas. Look for patterns, trends, and points of discussion.

Remember: few story ideas are truly original. A new slant, an interesting angle, timeliness, and focus—these are enough to make a story publishable.

Keyword research provides good article ideas

Steve,

I've found keyword research to be a great source of ideas for articles - both for myself and for our clients. We use an application called Keyword Elite. You can type in a keyword phrase and get - among other things - a list of popular questions concerning that phrase from Ask.com. Knowing what questions people are asking leads to article topics that are likely to be sought after. I'm sure other keyword applications provide similar capabilities.

Best,

Susan
