30+ Idea Sources for HubPages and Articles

Posted on 15. Sep, 2009 by Catherine in Content and Copy

As part of a Hubpages content creation challenge, I put up a huge list of ideas for articles for places like HubPages and Squidoo and Ezine Articles. It’s a good source of ideas for not only article marketing but blog posts.

Here is a small selection:

  • Idea Source 14: Archives of big blogs and websites: Look through the archives of websites/blogs in your niche that are massively prolific. Examples are http://Mashable.com, http://Gizmodo.com, http://www.bhg.com – they are an ideas goldmine.
  • Idea Source 17: Email Newsletters: Look through any email newsletters that you subscribe to (if you don’t have any, you should subscribe to a number in your areas of interest – make sure you set up a filter so that they bypass your inbox – this is purely for reference when you need it not to make your inbox more unmanageable): the tips and advice can be idea starters for Hubs.
  • Idea Source 28: Twitter Search: Type your keyword or niche into Twitter Search and you’ll get a list of recent conversations that feature that word. Often there will be links but what I love is looking for questions or problems – these you can answer in a Hub.
