But, what are you to do if you don't want to write or simply don't know how?



Well, for starters if you hate writing articles and you can't afford to hire someone reputable to write for you, you can get free articles. The first place to look is in the public domain. You won't have problems with copyright infringement if your material is available in the public domain.

Public domain articles have expired copyrights. In other words, when a work is copyrighted, that copyright has an expiration date. Copyrights can be extended but when the author dies, sometimes they don't get extended and actually expire. When that happens, they end up in the public domain. So, these are writings that were once published. And, in that light, the writing should be very good.

The downside to public domain articles is that anyone can use them and your competition may have done so already. You may have to edit them a bit to place your keywords and keyword phrases in the appropriate places. Also, make sure that if you use public domain articles they pertain to your niche topic.

One of the best ways to get fresh content is to allow other websites with a similar niche to submit articles that you post on your site. It's a common blogging tactic to create "utility posts" which consist of an intro to a post in another blog with a link to it from your blog. Bloggers are simply using good fresh content from other blogs to fulfill their content needs.

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, start sharing as much as you can and forget about keeping all the 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.

It's not expensive and well worth the small monthly fee for the number of links I'm seeing in Google on a daily basis. It's absolutely the greatest method Im aware of to help share links and obtain unique content regularly. It's very easy to post to all of my blog sites now. I choose how many articles to receive each day as well as the categories, and, I choose whether or not to put them on my blog. After all, not everyone can write good content! Cruddy writing gets deleted.

Just one more thing I also want to point out as far as where to get good content for your articles. There are many sites online that offer what are called Private Label Articles that you can publish and take credit for yourself. You can even rewrite them if you like. In fact, that's how this article came about. I have no problem writing, but by using a PLR article to start with, the ideas flow easier and I don't have to come up with all original content.
