Day 28 of the Lieurance-King Summer Article Challenge - What Do Your Readers Want to Know?

Welcome to Day 28 of the Lieurance-King Summer Article Challenge!

Here’s today’s tip:

What questions do people generally have that relate to your area of expertise? Turn these questions into an article with answers.

264245_whats_thatFor example, my areas of expertise are writing for children and freelance writing.

I can think of dozens of questions people ask me about writing for children or about freelance writing in general.

When I run out of ideas for articles, I make a list of some of the most common questions people ask me, such as:

1) How do I get started as a children’s writer?

2) How do I know which online writing courses are worth the money?

3) Can I really make a living as a freelance writer?

Gee. When you think about it, each of these three questions can become an article itself.

Today, make a list of frequently asked questions people have concerning your area(s) of expertise.

Your list of questions will help you come up with at least one new article.

But, chances are, each question will become the basis for an entire article itself.

Try it!

    There is one thing about this article challenge that I have noticed about myself. Because of all the support and learning tools given, I find that I can “see” potential articles everywhere where I never thought I would.

    That’s a wonderful side-benefit Carma.

  3. Damaria Senne Says:

    Suzanne, thanks for today’s advice. It’s something that I need to work on because I’m not sure what readers want to know from me. When I first started the challenge, the message of my articles was mostly .. “this is what’s happening in my part of the world,” but I was not so strong on how people can use that information for their benefit.
