How does a web developer find website content?

Hi,
I am a freelance web developer who is just just getting started with IM. My skill is to build modern and professional websites.

I have read a lot about finding the right niche, Google Adwords, Adsense, affiliates and such to give me a heads up.

Now, my problem is that I am now standing here with a bunch of nice looking websites with decent .com domain names, and I have no clue to where all internet marketing pros get their content? And no, I'm not going to write them myself, because I honestly suck at writing articles.

So where does one find good content that isn't very expensive? Where do you get your content?

Thanks!

      You can get pretty decent articles written for as little as $5-6 a piece.... but, they're not very long. Basically a summary blog post.

      Check on Elance, Freelancer, etc... for someone with a good reputation

        Depends on your goals. If you just want them to look good and don't care about search engines, you could just stuff them with quality PLR. There are plenty of folk on here selling the stuff.

        Otherwise,iIf you are not willing to write your own or re-write plr stuff, your best option is going to be to buy it.

        Remember, you usually get what you pay for. Once you find a writer you like, stick with them.

          Sounds good, and thanks. I am aiming to outsource my content.

          A decent 1000 word article will cost you around $5-$10. It depends on the person you are hiring. A native writer will never do it for that cheap but if you find someone for example from Philippines or India, they will happily accept this rate.

            Wrong. You won't get a "decent" article at that price, you'll just get a wannabe writer who doesn't know English enough to save his life.

            If you're on a limited budget, write the content yourself. You might hate it at first, but as you slowly start doing it more, you'll get quite a bit faster and you'll have exactly the type of content you want.

              You definitely seem to be jumping to conclusions.

              A lot of writers/editors for magazines and big publications actually spend some of their spare time writing at a very low rate.

    If you're looking for low cost content, but you don't want to write the content yourself, you could try:

    PLR Content
    However, PLR content is sold to multiple people. The reason why PLR content is so cheap, is because the cost of creating the content is shared between multiple buyers.

    So, you may need to rewrite the content if you want unique content.

    Outsourcing the Writing
    There are article writing services like hirewriters.com, where articles costs are low. So, you could try those sites... you'd end up with unique content without paying to much.

    Website content typically is sourced from content writers who are skilled. Website pages are different from articles in that they are a company's online storefront, and therefore must be written in a way that is suitable for the industry, but professional, compelling, and designed to attract leads and customers. Most web design firms outsource the content writing to skilled writers who are capable of writing engaging content that is properly optimized for keywords and which meets the needs of the reader. Thorough research is required to write great content that is unique from competitors and that both users and search engines appreciate and find useful.

    search for high quality PLR, wait for sales or specials so that you get a good discount, and rewrite your PLR (or have it rewritten for you if you don't feel like doing it yourself). high quality PLR can be a great starting point for quality content. you just have to rework the PLR for you to get original content for your site. more than SEO, it's about traffic. if people love what they see on your site, they will keep coming back for more.

    It's always best to create your own content. If you don't want to write, then outsource it. There's so many skilled writers out there that you can hire for very cheap. If you have a website, having original high quality content is always a must. Start checking out odesk, freelancer, guru, etc. There are tons of sites where you can outsource this task.

    Hi,
    you should have to get the good content from writer because google loves it,quality content get more visitors etc. Hire writers from iwriter.com, odesk.com there is also fiverr but there is only small articles like blog post. So i don't want to refer you fiverr.
    Thanks

    Go and read this blog post . Go to Bloggerscope to get ideas for posts and then tell someone at Fiverr.com what you want.
    Good luck and I hope you find what you're looking for.
    Any good ghostwriter is going to charge you $20 bucks a page.

    You have to first decide what quality you need. You can get articles from $3.00 to $100 per article.

    If you are looking for quality make sure that the person you are hiring speaks English fluently.

    If quality is not a big concern, you can find people to write articles $3.00. The quality is not perfect, but it is better than doing it yourself.
