# 3 Easy Ways to Focus Your Writing

If you're already writing regularly and would like to focus your efforts, consider these three ways to respond to proven reader interests:

## 1. Listen to your existing readers

[Log into your analytics](https://www.jdsupra.com/login.aspx) and see what work has done especially well over a given time period (look for the Content report titled "What are people reading?"). Now, focus again on those well-received topics. They have proven interest, which makes them perfect for follow-up posts, covering new angles.  
 

## 2. Respond to frequently asked questions

[Watch this short video](https://resources.jdsupra.com/allposts/how-to-identify-your-next-writing-ideas-in-5-simple-steps) for an explanation of what I mean. Questions folks repeatedly ask you when they realize you're an expert in your field make for terrific writing ideas. Capture them, turn them into a list of next writing assignments.

## 3. Track other thought leadership in your field of practice

If you haven't yet done so,[ follow new writing on JD Supra in your key subject matter area(s)](https://www.jdsupra.com/follow/manageyourinterests/).
