I Don't Want To Write!

So you want to make money online, and you like the idea of article marketing. But you are saying to yourself “I don't want to write!” The bad news is that you need articles for article marketing, but the good news is that you don't have to write them.

Articles bring the search engines to your site. Visitors stay or return because of great articles. Keyword filled articles make your site visible in your niche. Great articles also attract website visitors when they are linked to from another site or newsletter. great articles help increase the trust level of visitors to your site and your sales page, if that's where you send them.

Having many great articles is good to both your website and its traffic. If readers like the articles, they tell more of their friends, family and peers and recommend your site to them, providing for a larger volume of traffic. You get increased sales if your traffic trusts and believes in you.

However, most of us would rather spend our time at the dentist. Writing articles is not necessarily our idea of fun, and unless you have money to burn, you don’t have the necessary budget to hire a pool of professional article writers.

So what do you do beside writing them yourself?

Well, for starters if you don't like to write articles and you can’t afford to hire writers then don’t do it. Get free articles. The first place to look for no cost articles is the public domain. Here you won’t have problems with copyright infringement or plagiarism.

Public domain articles are articles freely available to the public for their use. You can do whatever you want with them. You can place them on your site, name them as yours, put them in a newsletter - it's your decision. Always remember to choose articles that are relevant to your niche.

The downside to public domain articles is that since they are free for everyone, many of your competitors will have access to them. Since every site needs to be original and unique even though it is in a common niche, this can be a problem. You will need to rewrite them and modify the number and placement of keywords and keyphrases to make them a better fit to your niche.

Another way to get no cost articles is to allow other websites in the same or a related niche to submit guest articles to your site.

This would be a useful way to add to your own stable of articles, but is not the way to get all your articles or else all your articles would be leading to other websites since these guest articles will have their own bio boxes that will link readers away from your site. That’s why it is important to have your own articles; you can use them to link your site to other websites as well.

Note: to truly feel the impact of what good articles can do for you, get some original ones. There are many writers who would do part time and freelance article writing jobs, charging only minimal fees. You can get plenty of great articles written for not much money that have all the keywords you need.

“I don't want to write!” is really ok. As an article marketer you need articles, whether you write them or not. The important thing is to own your own unique articles and you will be able to use them any way you want.
