Actually reading AC articles also can help you to generate content ideas for your own content. You must invest few percent of your total time you spend for AC to read and comment on other's content in AC. By reading the other's content you can understand what type of contents AC really wants. I remember one little lesson our teacher used teach us during our childhood time that the reading eventually helps us to strengthen our writing skill. So as much as you read you will able to enhance your writing skill too. Reading is always a good habit to adopt. I always try to read all different types of articles here in AC. You should not only read the 'Showcase', 'Top Rated' or 'Most Emailed' topics. Simultaneously you should also read the topics appearing under the heading 'Newest' or 'Undiscovered'. You can simply search by any keyword and start reading all topics appeared as the result of your search. The good thing is that in that way you will be able to get in touch with both types of articles with good and not so good topics. While you are reading any article on AC you can realize few basic things.

What People Want - By reading different types of articles on AC you can easily understand what types of article have demand on AC. You might find few articles which received several emails and comments. There may be two different reasons for an article to be a famous one - the article has an attractive topic which everyone wants to know; or the article contains the writing skill which is extra-ordinary. From the comments the particular article received you can easily distinguish between these two types of articles. The article which received comments more on topics is the first type of article, namely article with attractive topic; and the article which received comments more for the author of the article praising the author for such a good article is the second type of article, namely the article with good writing skill.

So from the above discussion you understood how to look for the demanding topics and how to enhance your writing skill.

Generate your Own Content Ideas - As we discussed above that by reading the existing articles on AC you can get idea about demanding topics. But this is also true that it is not always possible to create article on demanding topics. You might not have enough expertise to create such an article. This doesn't mean that it stops your writing for AC. You can still go for different articles which may not have a huge demand, but people need that too for their daily business. For example, today morning I read one article which talks about five best vegetarian restaurants in Orlando. This article gave a birth of my very own content on five best Indian restaurants in Tampa. First I search AC for any such content and realized that we don't have such content (or information) in AC yet. Similar way any article you read can generate an idea of a new one. AC wants any article which can help others. At some point of time you can find the readers who need the specific information you have provided within your article. We all individuals know so many things unconsciously. We don't know that we know that. This is called 'Known Unconscious' quadrant state of our mind. We realize our own knowledge when we come across with other comparable fact.

When you are trying to generate content ideas from other's content, please be sure about the copyright issues. Simply copying some other's content idea is a violation of copyright law. So get help from existing content to generate content ideas, but don't simply copy the idea. Try to put your own unique ideas and own way of representation while composing your own article.

How the Representation of the Article - Representation is one of the most important things of an article. I saw there are lots of good articles with very good topics, but didn't receive proper exposure due to its poor representation. Try to have paragraphs and paragraph's heading properly. If needed, use bold or italic characters to catch the eyes of your readers. If you write a long paragraph with different thoughts it is difficult for your readers to retrieve those thoughts properly from your article. So try to break the long article into small paragraphs while you have little change in thoughts.
