Researching high demand topics
Of course, since your posts are fairly ranking well in Google, the first thing you need to do is research high demand topics for which you can write content. These are basically content ideas that will help your content planning. Below are the tips where you can find high demand topics:
1. Frequently asked questions by your readers in post comments. Take a look at the user comments on your blog or website. What are their common questions? You can extract the topics of the questions, put them in an Excel spreadsheet and then label them "High demand topics." Example: "How do you get organic links pointing to your website?" The topic that you can list is "Getting organic links to a website."
2. Commonly asked question in the email from your readers. Sometimes users do not write comments on the site; they just send you an email.
3. Related forums. Try visiting the most popular forum in your niche; you can find a lot of high demand topics listed in the threads. Add them to your list of "High demand topics."
4. Related blogs. Sometimes you can visit other, related authoritative blogs, and you can get a lot of topic ideas.
5. Yahoo Answers. Go to this URL: http://answers.yahoo.com/ and then type in a broad keyword under "What are you looking for?"
For example, if I am doing research for SEO-related topics, I type SEO in the box, and a lot of related questions will pop up. You can then write topics related to these common questions.
6. Brainstorming. You can find out yourself which are high demand topics for your niche. To do this, simply think and jot down as many ideas that you can remember based on your experience, and add them to your list of "High demand topics."
