Implementation Steps

1. Select Your Top Article: If you’re new and haven’t published anything yet, this is a great starting point.
2. Create a Mind Map: Grab some paper, a pen, and set a timer for ten minutes. In the first eight minutes, skim through your best article, jotting down any new topics or titles that come to mind. Remember, no idea is off-limits—focus on providing more insights to your audience on the topic.

4. Connect New Ideas to Your Original Work: As you write and publish new articles based on these ideas, be sure to link them back to your successful original piece. Incorporate links within the text or add them at the end, allowing readers to easily find related content.

By creating multiple articles from a single foundational piece, you're not only experimenting within a specific niche, but you're also expanding upon it. This approach allows you to gauge interest and traction through ongoing analysis of your statistics.
