# The Table of Contents Article Template

This article template uses a sneaky way to get you started writing an article.

All you need is Internet access and a browser.

This is how to use the Table of Contents Article Template:

1: Go to Amazon and type in your niche keyword in the search field.

2: Choose one or more books among the results. Only go for those that offer a look inside.

3: Check the Table of Contents. Allow yourself to get inspired by the titles.

Example:

“article writing” gave as one of the results the book “The Art and Craft of Feature Writing”.

In Chapter one, there are headlines such as:

“How and where to get ideas”

“Picking the proper subject matter”

“Thinking about your story ideas […]”

4: Rewrite the headlines in your own words and with your own twist. 

Do not read the chapters. Only use the titles as inspiration for your own knowledge or research. 

You can either use three of the headlines as sub-headlines in your article and write a paragraph about each, or you can use the titles as inspiration for a whole article.

Examples of rewriting:

“Where can you find your article ideas,”

“Why you shouldn’t just pick any topic”

“How to come up with story ideas”

5: Summon up your article in the conclusion, and lead into your resource box, if you are writing for article syndication, traffic or back links.
