Michael's "Great Ideas" newsletter got me thinking about a business possibility for 2003.

After all, a newsletter with great "ideas" targeted to the right market group is something that all of us niche information providers should explore.

My question is this: what techniques could a person use to come up with at least one great idea month after month?

For example, in writing a book, I follow Stephen King's advice: read a lot, write a lot.

So last night, guess what I did?

I spent almost two hours in my personal library (Barnes and Noble) just browsing and reading books about investing money.

Another technique for generating great ideas might be to use the "pick the brain of experts."
Have any of you writers tried to do this on a consistent basis? Any luck?

These, of course, are just two methods that I can think of off the top of my head.

Anyone else have any ideas for generating a steady flow of "great ideas" that could be used in a niche newsletter?

Michael, what is your secret?
