Keys to Article Marketing - Getting Great Article Ideas by Repurposing Old Content
This week I'm sharing ways to come up with articles that you can syndicate to article directories or to content sites that agree to publish your articles. Yesterday I told you how the idea for this whole week's worth of blog posts came from commenting on someone else's blog post.

Plenty of other ways of getting ideas for articles exist as well. You can take things you have written for another audience and repurpose it for a new one. For example, many of this week's blog posts will come from articles I had already written for different audiences.

With a little bit of tweaking and updating, an old article becomes fresh and current and new. It's a fairly quick way of writing an article -- much quicker than most people's ordeal of sitting down, scratching their head about what to write, and slogging through a new article from scratch.

One thing, though, is essential for this approach. When you write something, keep track of it. Organize yourself. I know. "Organize" is a dirty word for some, but it's a remarkable time saver.

File it electronically in folders that let you easily find it when you choose your topic. That way, you'll always have content at your fingertips that you can quickly work into articles that you can submit.
