One of the many things that you must do is to manage your article marketing efforts to increase efficiency. Surprisingly, a very time consuming part of article marketing is simply coming up with unique ideas to use as topics for the articles. Whatever improvements you can make in speeding your article subject choices can have a positive impact upon the overall success of your business.

With that in mind, here are a few tips about how to find useful article topics.

- Scour the trade publications to which you subscribe. View each article from the perspective of your potential customers. Find a way to present those ideas that is consumer oriented rather than simply being for the insiders who happen to be in that industry.

- Spend some time a Yahoo! Answers. Conduct searches on keywords that are within your niche. Learn what questions have been asked there, categorize those, and soon you will have a lengthy list of topics for future articles.

- Search at top article directories (maybe EzineArticles and GoArticles, for example) for articles dealing with your business category. You will probably find some ideas that could benefit from being approached from a different angle.

- Read again the articles that you published on your own website. Can these be written in a way that they appeal to a broader audience and have a bit less of a marketing focus?
