1. Start by entering your topic in the "Topic" field. A topic is the subject or theme that you want to focus on when using the Hitlist software. It's what you're interested in researching or learning more about. For example, if you're a writer, your topic might be "creative writing tips." If you're a marketer, your topic might be "social media advertising strategies." Choosing a specific topic will help the Hitlist software to find relevant articles and data that can assist you in your research.
2. Hitlist.ai will start suggesting related keywords based on what you've entered so far. You can use the dropdown on the right-hand side of the "Research Keywords" bar to view the keywords suggested.
