Do you struggle with writing articles because you get writers block or you can't seem to come up with ideas for articles? Writing engaging and interesting articles does not have to be difficult. In fact, there are ideas for great articles everywhere. Here are seven ideas for writing great articles.

1. Browse forums and message boards.
Besides being great places to obtain the answers to your questions and to offer help to others, message boards and forums are full of article ideas. First, you can look to see what questions are being asked and then write an article to answer the question. Second, you can take an answer to a question that someone else has already given and expand on it with an article.

2. EzineArticles.com
This is the most popular article directory online. In addition to being a great place to submit your articles, it also offers a wealth of information about topics for great writing. You can do searches to find popular topics and then write articles about these same topics.

3. Lists, 7 ways to, 10 things I wish I had known etc.
These are always popular. Think of terms of lists and sets of items. Thinking this way also makes it easier to develop ideas and to continue to write easily and effortlessly. Furthermore, these kinds of articles are interesting and appealing to read. In addition there is no limit as to the topics you can write about with lists.

4. Popular Squidoo lenses.
Looking at these can give you a good idea about what is popular online in general. Writing articles about something that is popular is also a good idea.

5. Movies
I get all kinds of great ideas and inspiration while watching movies. Listen for inspirational quotes as well as stories around which you could write an article.

6. New, popular books, trends
These are always great because many people will be searching for information on them. Try to write about a different aspect of it or to make a connection between business and the book or trend or between everyday life and the book or trend.

7. Holidays
Use these to your advantage. Many people will be looking for information on them and if you write one or more well written articles on a holiday, there is a good chance that it will go viral and generate quite a bit of publicity and income for you.
