Thanks Mark, great tip and I love using MNF for finding article ideas…. Great thing is you often end up on a tangent digging down on subjects and ending up getting a bunch of topics in all different areas.

One of those things that make you say “Of course!”, while slapping your forehead. Thanks Mark, this is very useful indeed.

Mark,

Just perfect! Thank you.

I’ve often read around the Internet that it’s a good idea to write “How To” articles and blog posts. Yet, I’ve not seen anything on how one ought to go about coming up with ideas for it.

Now, I know.

In fact, I was trying to come up with an article that I wanted to do for EzineArticles today. I “followed your directions” and have a “How To” idea ready to be put to paper.

This is one tip, too, that can be used over and over.

Thanks much.

Dear Mark,

Your “How To Find Blog Post Topics” came Just In Time. I’ve been thinking about joining Ezine Articles’ Hundred Articles in Hundred Days and I was worried where I would find the topics to write about. Your quick tip here just blew much of those worries away. Thanks for sharing.

This is a really nice tip and I have had the classic “blogger’s block” a lot in the last year.

Last month, due to Lynn Terry’s drive to get us all planning I had a big “Aha!” moment and jotted down monthly themes for my blogs, but I still need specific tips and titles to write about.

Seems like you put the last link in the chain – Thanks Mark!

Good tip! I definitely need to include more “how to” articles in my blogs and my ezine articles.

I agree. It’s much easier to answer questions with an article or blog post than to just “make it up.”

I’ve also found that tuning into a popular forum in your topic area yields great results – plus as you answer some of the questions you essentially write the article at the same time. It’s a true time-saver.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious, Mark! Google may ignore “how to” but it’s something for us to take into account.

That is a great idea! I now use Market Samurai instead of MNF, but both work well for this.

Hi Mark,

I love the “how to” idea. Maybe one on “How to build the perfect adsense site”….

Thanks,
Brian

Good one Mark,

Now we need an idea on “How to” come up with a good idea before Mark Mason does! LOL

Have a great 2010!

Hey Mark,

Thanks – that’s obvious, simple and brilliant. Wish I’d thought of it first.
