Every major market/niche has a magazine that focuses on it.
These
publications spend MILLIONS on market research and advertising, so you
can be sure that the content they're publishing has been proven to be
desired by their market.
Here's how to capitalize on that research:
1.
Make a list of publications in your niche. If you're not sure what they
are, do a Google search for "major US magazines" or "[category here]
magazines" (without the quotes or brackets).
2. In Google image
search, type "[name of publication] covers". To make it more timely, you
can add the current year. So, for example: "parenting magazine covers
2012".
3. You should now be staring at a TON of magazine cover
images. Go ahead and click on one and see if you can't use the headlines
to generate some ideas.
Among all the cover images, you're almost guaranteed to find a bunch of ideas you can use!
Hint:
If you really want to stretch this, try turning the headlines into
templates. For example, "Parents' top $ mistakes—fixed!" can be turned
into "Parents' top _____ mistakes—fixed!".
