Keys to Article Marketing - Getting Great Article Ideas from Your Own Blog Comments
You've heard it many times before. Content is King when it comes to the Internet.

Good content draws people to your site. Good content keeps them there.

What if you draw a blank when you sit down to write all that great content, though? Throughout this week, I'll give you some tips to help you find ways to get past that dreaded "blank screen syndrome," so you can create the quality content you need. Here's the first.

Post comments on other people's blogs. I create a lot of my content that way. I add my insights to whatever topic the blogger discussed. Then I take my insights and flesh them out into a full article on the subject that is 100% unique.

I've found that the act of commenting triggers my creativity and gets me out of the "what should I write about" swamp. I rarely sit down and try to think of a topic anymore. Even when I need to write on a particular subject, I always get myself going by seeing what others have said about the same subject. Inspiration comes quickly and easily that way.

Incidentally, this blog post came directly from a comment I posted on someone else's blog. And once I had this post, it was only natural to see how I could create an entire week's worth of posts out of the subject, describing other tips that I use to spark ideas.

One blog comment = two weeks' worth of content. Not a bad technique for overcoming the blank screen syndrome!
