We’ve been talking about writing ezine articles by answering some “frequently asked questions” about a topic related to your particular field of interest and expertise.
The question is … what questions? 🙂
I’ve organized the following swipe file of 30 FAQs that you can answer as the basis of numerous ezine articles. (Heck, you can use them to create mini-courses, special reports, and even full-length products).
Take 3-10 of these and answer them for your next ezine article. And mix-n-match these questions with different topics within your market and you should have more than enough to write about for a long time.
