Whats an easy way to get content without writing it?

16 replies
It takes me forever to write content and I'm not sure its even that great. I know you can pay people to write or post articles others have written as long as you give them the credit for it. That is kind of appealing to me but I don't want my visitors clicking on their affiliate links. Can I delete their links? Would'nt posting their content, since its syndicated content, affect my seo rankings? I just need any easy way to get good relevant content that makes sense (not spun) for my sites. Is there a tool I can get? I don't want to pay a writer every time, unless you think its worth it. Anyone else pay writers for content, and how much does it cost? Thanks Warriors.

    There are people here who can write 25 to 50 articles a day. Usually they charge about $1 an article. Maybe you could ask them.

    Check out the Warriors for hire section, although you'd be hard pushed to find $1 articles!

      You'd be harder pushed to read'em :rolleyes:

      To the OP. You can use articles from the article directories, but you must leave the links alone. With the links intact it is syndication, but without them it's theft.

      Edit: Sylvia, you beat me to it! That will teach me to make tea before pressing 'post'.

    Just keep in mind that you will get what you pay for.

    You can either get good or cheap articles, but rarely ever both.

    One thing you can do is take some PLR and do a little re-writing
    to make it more unique for your site.

    Either was you go (PLR or Outsourcing), I wish you the best.

    No. That would be bad. Think of how hard you work at writing your articles and then imagine how pissed you would be if someone just took one and put it on their site without linking to you.

    Not really. It's actually natural for you to link out to other sites as opposed to having no links out at all.

    With articles, you get what you pay for. I've hired a lot of writers in my day and IMHO if you want something halfway decent you can expect to pay $10 at least per article. If you want really high quality, persuasive articles that convert visitors into buyers I would imagine those would cost quite a bit more.

    No you cannot just delete their links. That makes it theft, not syndication.

    I assume you're talking about the duplicate content issue. It's only dupicate content if you have it more than once on the SAME site. Otherwise, article directories and other sites would be punished by Google for "duplicate content".

    Hiring your own article writer can be an excellent investment. As for cost, it really varies dependent on the writer. You can get some alright content from the $5 writers, or you can get utter crap from them. Same thing with higher paid writers. If you're going the ghostwriter route, your best shot is to ask people here for recommendations.

    Like someone else mentioned though, you're not going to find $1 writers here, and if you do, remember sometimes you get what you pay for.

    Best wishes,
    Sylvia

    If you're looking for just "filler" content...that's what you'll get for $1 an article. Just consider that this is in no way likely going to help you build your business.

    The suggestion of PLR material is a good one. However, you might be better off finding a writer and establishing a long term relationship. Most writers will do bulk pricing.

    Good luck!

    If you can't afford to pay for quality articles to be written then I would also suggest using PLR articles and then rewriting them a little to make then unique to you. This way you have unique articles and rewriting PLR articles is much easier and quicker than writing your own articles from scratch.

      The only 2 places I have paid for articles is Textbroker and Pajamateam. The articles cost about $6 at both places but I found Pajamateam to be far more superior quality.

      The biggest difference is that at Textbroker you can order single articles where at Pajamateam you have to order at least 10 although they don't all have to be on the same topic.

      The great thing about these articles is that they are original and yours to do what you want with them.

        Does Pajamateam offer 100% unique articles written to given keywords? Or do they spin them to give 70 - 80% original?

          Hi Bradrich,

          A lot of blogger experience the same pains that you are struggling with.

          Writing is very, very tedious and only professionals can really write tons of articles without getting burnt out mentally.

          That being said, finding a good system of getting fresh, quality content is vital to having a successful content driven website.


          Here are some options that you can consider for getting content:

          · Writing Courses
          One of the cheapest and fastest ways to get content is to write it yourself. Writing course will help you learn how to write content with better quality, and it will teach you how to write without getting frustrated or writers block. At the end of the day, practice makes perfect. The more you write, the easier it will be and the better you will get.

          · Outsource
          Outsourcing content is what most big name internet marketers use. The beautiful thing about outsourcing is that all copyrights are transferred to you. You get to put your name down as the author and republish it where ever you want.

          The price for outsourced articles really depends on the kind of quality you are looking for and the length of the article. For a standard, 500 word article the average price is around $3 to $5. If you order bulk articles, over 100 at a time, you can usually cut that cost down to around $2-$3 an article. If you are looking to hire quality freelance writers, I’d advise you to use service such as Elance.com or Guru.com. You’ll be able to check the reputations of the writers and find people who will give you a very competitive rate.

          · Profit sharing
          Profit sharing is when you encourage people to write articles for you, but you agree to split a portion of the revenue there article makes. A lot of successful websites are built on this strategy such as Squidoo, Hubpages, etc. This is a great option if you are in a very profitable niche and can afford to share some of your revenue.

          · Guest post
          Guest post is encouraging other people with a blog or product that they want to promote to write an article for you. In return you allow them to place a link to their website or product. However, you can set parameters to what they are allowed to link to if you don’t want them linking to affiliate sites.


          Hope this helps,
          all the best,
          Devid

    I guess my first question would be why do you need to have fresh content? Followed by is that an effective strategy for whatever it is you are trying to do?

    An easy way to create content without writing it is to "give a talk" on the subject in question, record it, and have it transcribed. Then edit and publish.

    Do an interview with someone in your field, and again, record, transcribe, edit and publish.

    If a blog, get guest bloggers to generate the content.

    There are many ways to generate content besides sitting down and writing, some of which are mentioned above.

    If you really prefer getting content without writing then buy PLRs. Then you may want to pop it out in a spinner or rewrite them to make it a bit different. Not the best advice of course, because it is always advisable to get a writer and have fresh written articles.

    I heard an interview with James Martell talking about various IM related topics. And his wife runs a website where the content is provided by paid writers - from memory I believe they pay $10 an article - but she makes way more in affiliate sales in their niche than she does on paying the writers.
