New to IM, Question regarding articles.

Hi I'm Matt, it's nice to meet you all. I just got started in the whole IM thing and have a few questions, but to avoid writing an enormous wall of text I'll stick with one subject for this post.

First, here's my progress: I have a web site in place, setup using Sean Donahoe's template from Extreme Niche Empires, I have about 10 keywords I've researched using Google Adwords. I've only put in place 2 articles so far.

I understand that articles are important for getting indexed by Google, but I am not much of a writer. What is the best method of obtaining articles? The first article I had written by Textbroker, but it seems that can get expensive. For the second article I re-wrote a PLR article, which is terribly time consuming. If I read correctly, not only do I need the initial 10 created based on my keywords, but I need to KEEP creating them am as well. So how can this be done without either breaking the bank or spending an insane amount time rewording PLR articles? Also, why do I need to keep creating them? Do they replace the articles I have already written, or do I post them somewhere else?

Thank you for your time

    Welcome Matt!

    You can outsource your article writing if you really do not have the time or gift of writing. there are plenty of people here who will be willing to assist you with that.

    One thought....while waiting for your site to become a success, you may want to consider trying your hand at writing. No one knows better than you as to the message that you want to land.

    Regardles of how you decide to obtain your articles, post them on your site first as additional pages. You can optimize each page independently for variations of your main keyword(s). Then you can publish them elsewhere.

    My experience has always been that right or wrong, I like my message in my own words better than my message interpreted by someone else. That is not to say that if time becomes an obstacle, outsourcing would not be an option.

    Welcome

    I write all my own articles but there are many places you can outsource your article writing tasks.

    Here is a list of 24 places you can outsource your article writing and pricing I found just now from google "where to outsource article writing". 24 article writing sites (not an affiliate link)

    You can look at the warriors for hire section here, some great writers right here.

    Odesk and elance have many article writers on the cheap.

    No you are not replacing the older articles with new ones you are adding unique content to your site which will only help you grow your site and hopefully move up in the search engines.

    Good luck

    I got trained on article marketing before and basically the whole point of constantly doing them is that you have to get a consistent flow of traffic from Ezine Articles or wherever you are submitting them to. I invested in a tool called The Best Spinner and it basically fixed all of my problems for writing articles. It really does live up to it's name..

    When anyone asks me about article writing i always refer them to Laurencewins.com he is one of the main members of honestworkfromhomesuccess forum and i have worked with him 4 times nows. Every job he has done has been excellent, very good communication and decent prices, especially if you are looking for more than just a one off job.

    He is also a friend of mine so maybe if you mention my username (he does not have affiliates, just happy clients) he will discount, can't gaurantee but it's worth a try

    It seems like writing is not your cup of tea. The good thing is that you can outsource your article requirements and concentrate on the other IM tasks. As mentioned above, there are a lot sites that offer writing services. You can also check out iwriter.com.

      Thank you everyone for your advice. I notice no one really spoke of any kind of automated content creators(except for a brief mention of an article spinner). I suppose there are none really worth using? This puts me on the right track though, I appreciate it.

      One other thing I would like some clarification on are backlinks. I understand they are also important for getting my page ranking up with the likes of Google. But what exactly are they, and how does one generate them? Thanks again
