You can write for helium. You'll never run out of ideas because they have several titles that you could write to, you'll never run out of them. Visit the site and see what I'm talking about. Browse their writing contests and be motivated to write more. I have been with the site only 3 months and I have written already 172 articles! Good luck and happy mylotting!

Writing articles is an creative art. One should start writing articles on subjects on which he/she feels most confident of producing interesting contents. Articles developed based on one's original thoughts,perceptions and experiences on various aspects of life and real world problems easily attract attention. While selecting type of topics and issues to present through your articles, you need to know the tastes and interests of the target group,because the ultimate purpose of writing articles is to create wider impact. Thanks.

I have two blogs, I write articles for daily earnings and do assignments for websites. I also post at myLot. With all these activities I always find something to write every day. Sometimes I write for one of these and it can inspire me to write something similar for one of the others. Writing for the internet also involves a lot of reading, rating and commenting on what others have written. If I think I can do better in writing about a topic than something I read, or I think I can be more informative about it, then I will do so.

Be a good listener and be observant. Do your homework and find out what people care about and what they're interested in reading.

I would strongly advice you to write about something that you're really interested in or something that you've experienced and that is close to your heart. For example, write about your interest in a certain person or write about your child's birth, if you're a parent. I find that in these situation, it's a lot easier to write an article or a story.

You know about writing personal things I feel that I am throwing my garbage in a public place, so I do not feel like writin about personal things.

One of the things I've learnt during my 3 years blogging experience is never to write if you don't have the mood to write. Don't force yourself. If you are not in the mood or don't have any ideas, then it is okay to write facts such as product review or gather information from other places. If you're talking about online articles or blogging, then those require ideas. Don't do those if you are not in the mood.
