Another Free Way To Get Ideas For Your Articles
November 13, 2008 | Author: Steve | Filed under: Marketing
One of the challenges of Internet Marketing is coming up with content on a regular basis. This is especially true if you write a newsletter or post to a blog on a regular basis.
Coming up with ideasĀ can be a challenge. After a while, you may get the idea that you have written your “best” stuff, and there’s no more left. Of course nothing could be further from the truth.
One often overlooked way to get ideas for great content is to sign up for Google Alerts. Go to http://www.google.com/alerts.
Google Alerts allow you to select any search terms you want, and they’ll email you links to relevant content as it happens, daily, or weekly, depending on your preferences.
You can choose what type of results you’ll get:
- Comprehensive
- News
- Blogs
- Web
- Video
- Groups
You can set up as many alerts as you want, using any search terms you want. You can monitor the news, blogs, and more within your market. This is a great way to jump start your writing by giving you ideas and links to sites with content that you can cite and use.
Once you set up a few alerts, you can monitor the results you’re getting. If you find that the results aren’t quite what you want, go and edit the search term and/or the source of the data. Play around with it for awhile, and see what happens. It’s free, easy to set up and use, and can make your writing a whole lot easier. Enjoy.
