How to Find Content Ideas that Your Ideal Clients are Looking For
The best way to create content for your audience is to write on topics that they are interested in. Of course, we all know that, but sometimes it is rough to identify what those things are. Today I'll share some tricks that will help you have a flowing stream of content ideas.
How to Create a List of “How To Posts”
1 – Identify all of the online spots such as forums, Quora, Yahoo Answers, mosaicHUB, or Amazon that your audience participates in.
2 – Identify all of the blogs in your target niche.
3 – Visit those forums and sites and search on “How to ?” – You will get a listing of posts containing questions from the audience.
4 – Write down all of the questions and your answers to those questions.5 – Visit top blogs in your target niche and look for unanswered questions or frequent reader questions.
By the time you are done with your research, you will have weeks' worth of content for your site and probably a few ideas for information products too!
To your easy and joyful success!

Hi Andrea – Simple is often the best way to go. 🙂
Brilliantly Simple!!!
Some of the best things are.
Is it a coincidence that your post has appeared at a time when I am thinking of short videos to answer questions I notice on Quora as part of my blogs?
Thanks for the tip, Stephanie. I think I see my plan formulating!

You are most welcome. Have fun using these techniques.
Great tips, Steph! I especially like tip 5 about looking at unanswered questions and fan’s on blogs that my target audience frequents. I will be integrating these tips into my research.
