[EzineArticles Training] Article Content: Audience-Client-Competition Research

Hello Sherif,

Here is the next edition of the EzineArticles.com Article Writing: Content Sources and Article Templates Training Series.

1. Q & A: Review the last 3 months of questions your
audience/clients have sent you via email or over the
phone. This is a great resource for several Q&A style
articles that can address your target's questions
(without disclosing any personal information about
your audience/client).

2. Survey: Conduct an email survey of your audience or
clients and identify their top 20 concerns or areas of
interest. Most surveys will produce too much data for
just one article. A single survey can help you easily
produce a set of 20-25 articles whose topics were
generated by your target audience!

3. Conduct a Class: Run a free teleseminar for your
clients, prospects or ideal market audience. Use it to
give your expertise while polling them for ideas and
feedback on what they want to learn more about
relating to your expertise. You should be able to
extract 100 or more article topic ideas from this
strategy alone, not to mention using your teleseminar
transcript for article content (with some editing to
create small 250-400 word chunks of tips).

4. Blog/Forum/Discussion Board Comments: Compile your
audience's comments on your blog post and identify
helpful tips, questions, concerns or areas of interest.
Just one blog comment from one of your readers can
easily turn into an article addressing a question,
concern or area of interest.

5. Keep Tabs on the Competition: Setup email alerts or
subscribe to RSS feeds when new articles in your niche
are posted. Use these for inspiration only. If you find
yourself asking a question just after reading a
competitor's article...answer it with your own article!
You can reverse engineer the topics your competitors
have tackled and add your unique perspective.

6. Interview Your Competition: Your competition can be a
great source of inspiration, and in this case, content.
Interview another expert in your niche via phone or
email, record and transcribe it if necessary, and chunk
out the content for a series of 250-300 word articles.

Hint: Remember not to include any numbering or
edition system in your article title, even though you
may be chunking out several articles from one
original content source.
