If you run an online business, you have so many things to think about. You need to bring your schedule under control and work as efficiently as possible.

There is a connection between the ideas that you can come up with for the articles in your syndication efforts and the effectiveness of your article marketing. Whatever improvements you can make in hastening your article topic selection can have a positive impact upon the eventual success of your business.

With that in mind, here are a few ideas about where to find good article topics.

- Your business undoubtedly receives calls and emails from customers. Most of the questions that you receive have the potential to become topics for articles for syndication.

- Watch for news stories in magazines, TV, Internet or newspapers that are directly or indirectly related to your niche. If the news organization thought there was a story in that, chance are there is also an article that you can write about it.

- Spend some time a Yahoo! Answers. Conduct searches on keywords that are relevant to your niche. Learn what questions have been asked there, categorize those, and soon you will have a lengthy list of topics for future articles.

- Search at top article directories (maybe EzineArticles and GoArticles, for example) for articles pertinent to your industry. You will probably find some ideas that could benefit from being approached from a different angle.

- Read again the articles that you published on your own website. Can these be written in a way that they appeal to a broader audience and have a bit less of a marketing focus?

When you dedicate time to finding topics, don’t stop until you have assembled a list that will last a while. You’ll probably find that one idea leads to another. Keep that long list in an appropriate folder where all of your writers will have access to it. Once a writer uses an idea, delete it to avoid inefficient recycling of the same ideas.
