2Make a list of potential topics you want to write about. Find the topics you are most interested in on the list, and narrow down your focus until you find the topic you want to write about.

3Search wikiHow to find out if someone has already written about that topic.
EditMethod 2 of 2: Brag
-
1Know what you're good at. Think of all the things that you're great at, but maybe other people can't do. Make sure they can be explained over a screen. For example, teaching someone how to solve a Rubik's Cube can be explained through text and pictures. Teaching someone how to drive a car, however, requires one-on-one instruction.

2Check to see if your idea is taken. If your idea is not already taken, then check mate. WikiHow is everyone's check mate.Ad
