Free content builder.
Articles are the best way to add free content to your site.
There's hundreds if not thousands of article sites out there on
the web that can be searched for free information.
The only problem I have with free articles is that you have to
add the writers resource box to your site. Now this in itself is
not a major problem. You could read several articles and then
make your own in your own words. This works well and is a quick
and easy content building strategy that I would recommend to
anybody. Also if you write your own content this way you should
definitely consider posting a few of your own articles to the
free article submission sites. This generates oneway links to
your own site and over time can really build traffic to your
site.
Just google "free article submission" or "articles" or anything
of that nature to start building a list of article sites. The
more you have the better.
Building content with ebooks
Free ebooks are a great source of free content and there is no
shortage of them out there. Most free ebook sites have ebooks
that were at one point being sold across the web. These are
generally an excellent quality source of information.
To really benefit from ebooks you must first read them and take
note of the main topics discussed. One way I find that works
well is to write up a short report after reading the ebook and
then building on that as I go through the ebook a second time.
When I find something interesting I add it to the report in my
own words. This is great for developing a better understanding
of the material.
Of course after all this you may want to write a few articles
about what you just read. As always you should share these
articles with the rest of the web by submitting them to article
sites.
This isn't as tedious and time consuming as you might think.
After your first or second go you will find yourself becoming
more confident and this may well lead to you taking a more
creative approach to your writing. In time you will be very
efficient at writing your own reports and using them to create
more articles and content for your websites.
I would advise you save every ounce of work you do. The more you
write the more content and personal resources you have to pull
from this makes it quicker and easier to create your own
material. After a while you may realize you could put all your
work into a ebook of your own and sell it:)
What should I write?
In short anything you want. Every human on this planet is a
powerhouse of information. Even if your young you still have
alot of experience to pull from.
Some people find that coming up with ideas of what to write
about is quit easy but actualy writing it is the hard part.
Others find the writing the easy part and the brainstorming the
hard part.
If you fall into either camp then there is still hope for you,
due to the fact that most humans will fall into either camp!
Your not any different from me or anybody else out there. The
best way to over come either problem is to get comfortable and
just start writing. It is not hard!!
Pick something and start writing about it. What did you learn
after a tragic event in your life is a great way to get your
brain setup in the right direction. Pulling from personal
experience realy helps to get you thinking and once that starts
you will find it hard to turn your mind off.
Keeping it fresh.
The only way to keep information fresh is to write it in your
own words. Add your persona to your material. Play with it
before you publish it. Try to write as if you were explaining
something to a friend. It comes across more respectful and
easier to understand.
Also no matter what your writing about make sure you explain
everything down to the letter. You may understand what your
talking about but your reader wont always be as interested as
you might think.
Always remember no matter where it is you can generaly go back
and change it later. For instance if you have published a 5 page
report to the web and your not happy with certain aspects of it
well then you can take it down later and add in or delete
whatever you want.
