Building a business online means you need to provide fresh content for your site daily. Content is still King and it really is necessary. Fresh content articles pull potential customers to your website by providing new information regularly.
But, what are you to do if you don't want to write or simply don't know how?
To begin, if you don't want to hire someone to do it for you, you can obtain free articles online. Public domain articles are available for anyone to use. And, you don't need to worry about copyright issues with public domain articles.
The public domain consists of writings, articles, books, etc. with copyrights that have expired. Original copyrights only last for a specified number of years. When the copyright isn't extended, due to the death of an author or simply abandonment of the work, the copyright expires and it becomes available in the public domain. These are works that were once published for profit and, as such, grammar and writing is usually of a very high standard. You should check copyright laws in your country for more information.
The flipside of using public domain articles is that your competition may also be using them. But you should be able to verify this easily enough in the search engines. You may have to edit them a little in order to put your keywords and phrases in appropriately. Additionally, be sure that they pertain to your niche topic.
Another way to get free articles is to allow other sites which have similar content to submit articles to your site. Most bloggers today do utility posting which is exactly this. They use content from other blogs and give the blog a trackback (link).
Now, some people might think WAIT A MINUTE - I don't want to put links to other sites on my site! But, if that's what you're thinking, you're a bit behind the times, I'm afraid. If you've ever heard the term Web 2.0 that's really what it's all about. Even Google knows this and is now serving up pages with the most popularity based on the number of links to and from a site and, of course, a lot of other things too. But social populariaty is REALLY important!!!
So, begin to share as many links as you can and don't think you need to keep all those links to yourself.
And, if you're wondering where all this is going, well here's the pot of gold and the real reason why I decided to write this article in the first place. Because of Web 2.0, there are now many article services gaining popularity that cater to this need. The one I belong to not only sends my "unique" articles to about 600 sites upon submission, but I also receive many unique articles each day as a subscriber. And, you can choose to only receive articles if you don't want to write them.
Hey, it's not expensive and it's the best way I know of to share links and get unique content on a regular basis. This makes it so easy for me to post to my blog sites now. I choose the categories, I choose how many articles I want each day and I choose whether or not to actually post them. After all, as we discussed earlier, not everyone can write well! Crappy content gets the boot!
One more thing you should know -- There are now many websites that offer Private Label Rights Articles that you can publish on your site. Many of them are free to join. Private label rights allow you to take credit for writing the articles. If you want, you can even rewrite all or part of them. In fact, that's how I wrote this article. I'm pretty good at writing, but sometimes the ideas don't come as quickly as I'd like. So, when I begin with a PLR work, the ideas start churning out and there's no need to create all of the content myself. Although most of the time you would not recognize the original as the starting content, when I'm done!
