Here are some ways you can use Twitter to write articles:
• Use Twitter to get ideas for articles- you can see what people are talking about, what is being searched for in your niche and search for keyword related to your niche to see what is popular at the moment. This will help you come up with article ideas based on those popular topics.
• Use Twitter to get answers and opinions to questions for your articles- ask questions via your timeline and use the answers directly in your articles as quotes or just as ideas for your article. Because the answers are often given quickly, it can even help when you are on a deadline or trying to write a quick article.
• See the "trending topics" to see what people are talking about- Twitter can be a great way to find out about the hottest new news on the Net. You can hear about it first when people begin tweeting about it.
Once you have a Twitter account, you can communicate with others around the world who share your love for a topic. You can use it to get ideas about what you're writing about as a way to find out what the people want to hear about. Twitter is about conversation and your articles should induce conversation. One way that you can do this is to use Twitter to find out what people are talking about.
Another way that you can use Twitter to write articles is by writing about controversy or something that you disagree with. This is a great opportunity to write your own opinion piece or to stir up some controversy that will gain attention and bring traffic to your article.
Now that you see these ways that you can use Twitter to write articles, you can begin using it to get more article ideas today. As an article writer, you always have to be on the lookout for new and better ways of writing articles as well as for getting article ideas. Twitter is a free, useful tool that you can take advantage of starting now.
