Know everything about your subject -- if you know what you are talking about, you would be able to explain it better, to your readers out there.

I can spin out hundreds of articles on this topic, like: what to do when your dog is sick? How to take care of little puppies? What is the best diet for keeping your dog healthy? Etc. every single person who comes to me with a sick dog to treat, is a potential article material. The problem of his dog and its solution can give me material for an article, if it is expressed in a humorous and informative way to hold the reader’s interest. If you write one article every two days, by the end of the month you have 15 articles. You can start a blog on dog care, invite queries, look for solutions and make sure that your web page becomes an interactive site for taking care of these lovable mutts. In a couple of months, you might consider yourself on your way to writing freelance articles for magazines who want your expertise in dog care.
