Business is a very large field to write about because there are so many different types of business; the topic can easily include anything from starting your own business to growing an existing business. It is for this reason that it is so vital for a writer to choose to write from a specific perspective on a specific focus. The perspective that a writer chooses for the field of business could be from the perspective of a business man/woman, a person trying to start their own business, a business owner, a person running a home business, or any other business perspective that the writer has experience with. The focus that a writer chooses is just as important as the perspective because it needs to be broad enough to have enough elements to write about, but narrow enough to attract readers based on it. For instance, a focus could be what is more successful - a home business or an established business with office or shop space?

Popular Topics    

Business is no different from any other topic in that popular topics are typically those that have a current news element, a how to element, or an argument that offers multiple sides. The best place for a writer to locate current news elements is Google Trends; for how to ideas, it is best to search out questions that people have about business on the internet - this can be found on sites like Yahoo answers, and discussion topics can generally be located online on business forums.

Staying up to date about current news topics can take time and effort that could be better devoted to writing about business. The way to avoid having to look up current news topics is to focus on topics that have multiple sides to them. These topics tend to stay very popular because there is no clear winning argument as each argument tends to be based on personal opinions, experiences, and beliefs. Here are three all-time favorite topics in the field of business that pose multiple sides.

1. What should be done about unemployment rates? Should there be low cost vocational training programs to provide the unemployed with marketable skills? Should more jobs offer on the job training? Should there be programs created to manage unemployment? If yes, what should the programs do?

2. Does personal appearance affect the business environment? Should employees be allowed to have tattoos? If no, should the business be able to fire an employee who has a tattoo or force them to remove it? Should a business be allowed to require a certain standard of personal appearance? If yes, what should the standard be?

3. Should businesses offer incentives for higher levels of education? Should businesses offer programs to help employees pay for college?
