If you've ever wondered how professionals load up their websites with content so quickly, here it is. I'm going to show you the top 5 ways to get high quality content on your website for free or close to free and in just a few minutes.
#1 RSS Feeds
RSS Feeds are probably the number one way to get new content
on your website instantly. RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication"
and describes a technology that allows web sites to syndicate and distribute
their content on the Internet. You're likely already familiar with news
syndication sources like Reuters and the Associated Press. RSS parallels
this concept and brings it online.
Content syndication provides an ideal solution for the cost and time conscious website owner. You can load your site with current, relevant content and reap significant rewards.
#2 Static Article Syndication Sites
One of the tried and true methods for building a name online is to write
and publish your own articles. Thousands of writers submit articles
each day to article syndication sites.
The trade off is simple: publishers are granted permission to re-print the authors article as long as the article remains unchanged from the original and the authors by-line is kept intact. The publisher wins by getting free content and the author wins when someone sees their by-line and clicks on their URL.
Do an Internet search for "reprint articles" in your favorite search engine and you will find plenty of websites with several articles on several different subjects.
#3 Hire a Copy Writer
When you hire a copy writer, you can have custom content created for
your site. Your writer will pump out articles on any topic you specify
and you get to put your name on the finished product! The best way to
hire a copy writer is to have them bid for the project. This allows
you to negotiate the best deal for your budget if expense is an issue.
There are several websites out there where you can hire a professional
copy writer. Use your favorite search engine and perform a search for
“copy writers” and you should come up with hundreds of results.
#4 User Generated Content
There is no better way to develop a sense of community among the visitors
to your website than by allowing them to contribute their own thoughts
and ideas. You simply edit the content for style, grammar and length
and then toss in a few of your own comments to add some flow to the
presentation. This takes a minimal amount of effort and you can produce
a great publication that people want to read because they get to see
themselves in print.
