Article Writing - Arghh! Can't Someone Else Write Them
For Me?
Article writing with little inclination and little budget
– how do I do that then?
Simply put - owning, running and marketing an internet
based business or a site needs information, lots of it and ever changing
information. Articles quench the thirst for information of your visitors and
potential customers. Articles are crucial and imperative to attract your
customers, keep your visitors coming back and get you into the top levels of
the search engines.
We know that but…. We hate writing, we don’t have a lot
of money so what do we do?
1. Public Domain articles. Public domain articles
are articles freely given to the public for public use. The copyright has
expired or not been taken out. You can do whatever you want with them. You can
place them on your site, name them as yours, put them in a newsletter or make
changes to them.
2. Private Label Rights articles. PLR articles are
those that you have purchased the rights to use them as your own. You usually
can not put copyright notices on them, but you can pass yourself off as the
author, make changes to them and publish them as you wish. Good PLR articles
are restricted in their sales so that not too many people own them.
The major restriction to both of these types of articles
are that you cannot submit them to article directories. Some people try and
indeed some appear on lesser directories, but it is a very quick way to get
yourself banned from submitting articles in the future.
The second restriction is the matter that others also
have access to these articles. The major search engines are cracking down on
duplicate content and you want your site to be unique so that it stands out
from your competitors. Lastly some of the PLR articles have very poor grammar
and spelling, and the public domain articles may be out of date, so both types
will need checking and improving.
So what’s the answer then?
Well its inspiration – take these articles and make
changes to them or use them as the basis for your own article. You can put
slightly changed articles on your web site – say about 10%-20% of it being
changed. You can add your own slant to the article, correct the grammar,
update it, tailor it to the needs of your own web site.
Some article sites will allow you to submit PLR and
public domain articles that have been substantially changed. Many
others require original work only.
Read through the original article and use it to inspire
you to write your own article perhaps using the concepts, values or ideas of
the original article.
Beware of some these article rewriters that are
advertised – many of them only put a new top and tail on the article. The
major sites are aware of them and look out for them. You'll get banned.
Article writing as in the rest of business is equal parts
inspiration and perspiration – we are just telling you where to find the
inspiration!
P.S. if you do have some cash spare – then pay someone –
like me to write your articles for you!
