Read The News
It's amazing how many different subjects and topics are covered on the news, and so this is always a good starting point when you are trying to come up with something to write about.
A quick search through the BBC homepage will bring up dozens of different interesting topics that you could write about, such as the Olympics or the Russia and Georgia crisis.
You could then choose the Olympics as your many topic, and then there are hundreds of different things you could write about, such as what should happen to drugs cheats if they are caught?
Search Google
Just general surfing and browsing can yield many ideas. Try googling words or phrases that you think could help you come up with ideas. Go onto your favourite gaming website, and find a game that you write about, or google the word 'Interesting' and see what you find, you will probably be surprised.
Look At Previous Articles
You can look at previous articles written by yourself, and try to look at similar things you could write about, or you could look at articles written by other people, and try to get some inspiration from them. (Don't copy them, or make it too similar though).
Choose Something Random
Whats the first idea that comes into your head when you think of the word 'Random'?
Completely random topics often do very well. I know of topics about how to kill ninjas that have been some of the most viewed topics on Triond.
State Your Opinions
Can't find a good topic to right about? Use your head. Stating your opinions on something normally cause people to agree or disagree with you. This then leads to a debate, and debate is good.
Don't like China's human rights abuses? Write all about it and watch the views shoot up.
Show Off A Hobby
Everyone has a hobby of some sorts; from football to stamp collecting everyone likes something. Why not write an article on how to repair vintage watches; or how to do a cool footy trick; or a guide on how to swing a golf club like a pro?
Finishing Off
I hope this guide has given you some inspiration on how to think of an article to write, or maby it has already given you a great idea for an article that is going to get ten thousand views? If it has helped you please drop me a comment, I don't get any extra for comments, but it's always good to hear that one of my articles has helped. Thanks for reading.
