A Simple Strategy for Having Endless Topic Ideas

It’s a difficult world for an online freelance writer these days. The internet has exploded into the homes of over a billion people on Earth. To rise through the ranks and become a distinguished writer, you have to be able to stay on top of your game. The writer’s block is the most feared contraption of nature but with a few simple tips, you can beat it. Here is a simple secret of freelance writing that will ensure you literally unlimited ideas and topics to write about.

Preparation - Are You Ready To Commit?

This isn’t just a job. This is a passion and lifestyle for some. If you plan on making money in the process, you have to be able to think of topics to write every day. Some of the most successful freelance writers in the world can publish an article daily. It’s not rocket science - it’s easier to be able to keep the writer’s block at bay and create strong content consistently than you think. It all lies in making the most of your time.

Integrate “topics” into your life. See everything as a searchable phrase. It sounds kind of far-fetched but the truth is that many writers thinking about how to gain more view counts or write chapters for their brand new novels know exactly what this strategy is.

You might be hanging out with your friends and have a brainstorm raging in your head; spontaneously or controlled, it doesn’t matter. You could be in school, work, or even dreaming, and countless ideas of topics could be shining in your head like light bulbs. It's not that you've gone crazy - it’s just a trait that all writers share.

Thinking of a topic can sometimes take longer than actually writing about it. This is not a coincidence. It’s life’s way of forcing you to take on a challenge. Here’s my secret that isn’t really a secret but a strategy many writers do not use.

Your Mind is a Huge Word Document - That’s Why Man Invented Notepad

Okay, here comes an analogy to the human brain. What happens in your brain as a writer is like what you type in a word document on a computer. Everything is fine until you realize you can’t save anything. Well, nothing at will. You either remember or you don’t.

Open a Notepad file, Word Document, or any other text program and save it on your desktop (or personal folder of choice). It’s best to use a Notepad file because it opens quick and can be found easily on your computer. Make sure you keep it marked in the Quick Launch menu.

Title this document: “Topic Ideas” or something along those lines.

Now pay attention. Every time you ever think of an idea that you know you can write about, open this file and write it down. Don’t write paragraphs and lengthy passages. Just type the name of the title (which can be 3-10 words) as a bullet point, save it (Cntrl+S), and exit the file.

Over time you will make a habit of this and realize you are thinking of future topics at a rate faster than you are writing them. Practice makes perfect and eventually the topics you think of are almost always noted down. All it takes is a few clicks to open the file, write down your brilliant idea(s), and keep them saved for later.

I’ve been able to maintain a steady stream of articles without much difficulty because I keep a Notepad file handy at all times. In a single month, I have enough ideas for topics already that will last me a year.

But the ultimate reason why this strategy will permanently stop writer’s block for topic ideas is that it is a constant process. You are always typing in potentially high quality article ideas every day and the list will remain dauntingly long - but this is a good thing.

I never have to worry about thinking of another topic idea again and I’ve only used this strategy for a few weeks. Check on the list every week and remove bullet points of articles you finished and delete ideas that can no longer be used. Use it as a checklist, calendar, and even a place to keep important links.

You can’t make the most of this technique overnight but with continuous practice a few times a week, you can hone your skills to the point of permanently defeating writer’s block. Rack up those page views, earn money using the simplest techniques, and remember that you must rise beyond the call of duty to become a well-prepared freelance writer.

Over time you will learn to implement your own ideas for your digital brainstorming text file and be able to come home from work and know exactly what you’re going to write about.

UPDATE: It's been another month and a half and my own notepad file has more than doubled in the number of article ideas. I also added links that directed me to the main sources of certain educational topics. Although it is recommended only to use single line sentences for each topic idea (for the sake of simplicity), you can expand on this and write additional sentences or paragraphs if you think you won't be able to remember it all later.

Another month and a half later, I used my Notepad file to keep track of important links and write more information about specific topic ideas.

The number of things you can do with this technique is limitless. Do what best helps your ability to write high quality articles on a daily basis. The Notepad file is only a medium and there are many ways to use it.
