In an earlier post, I wrote that writing magazine How To articles was a good way to launch your freelance writing career. These teaching articles are very popular with readers, so they are in big demand. But you may be asking yourself, “What on earth can I possibly write a magazine How To article about?”
Many writers find the answer to that question just by examining their own life experiences. And so can you. Start by asking yourself some questions. Who am I? Am I a wife, a husband, a parent, or a grandparent? Have I survived a divorce, a disease, or a death in the family? Have I raised and disciplined children? Have I worked? Have I volunteered? Have my children all left home and have I adjusted to the change? Have I given my daughter away in marriage? Have I suffered from depression? The list of questions goes on and on, but the answers describe your life and experiences. The trials you faced and the lessons you learned are all valuable information that you can pass on. This knowledge can be transformed into wonderful magazine How To articles.
You can also write articles about your own hobbies and interests. If you think something is interesting, it’s a good bet that there are other people who share your interests. They would be happy to read what you have learned and would be willing to let you teach them. To these people who have a common interest with you, your step by step magazine how to article would be appreciated. And if you’re feeling a little unsure about whether you are qualified to write the article, you can always do a little research to get additional knowledge to round off what you already know.
If you are still having trouble coming up with a topic for your first magazine how to article, here is a list of headlines for How To articles. Read them over and see if any one of them may spark an idea of something you could write about.
