Some six weeks ago, I began writing and submitting articles to free content sites in order to promote the six commercial Websites I own. The results have been both swift and dramatic, and the number of links from external Websites to my own Websites has increased from nearly nothing to more than 10,000 in a little more than a month. These results have inspired me to write more articles, and as I own six different Websites, I have six different topics to choose from. Still, my ideas occasionally run dry and that certainly happens to others who write articles for their own Websites. Writing and submitting articles on a regular basis does a lot for marketing your Websites, but where might
you find more ideas for articles when you run out?
I have several sources that work for me. I subscribe to several newspapers as well as several newsmagazines. Most of my Websites are devoted to topical subjects, so the sorts of things I write about tend to be in the news. Sometimes, when reading an article about one of my topics, I find some angle or aspect of the topic I hadnt previously considered. I read a lot of blogs devoted to my topics. All you absolutely need to do to find those is to type in blog title
-of-topic into Google or any other search engine. You might
find hundreds of blogs devoted to your topic of choice, and by reading them regularly, you might
find some subject related to your topic that you hadnt previously considered. You might also try looking for forums related to your topic of choice. Again, just type in forum title
-of-topic into a search engine. Youd be surprised how many forums are out there. Each one is a potential source of ideas for articles on your topic.
A new tool that really helps is the new Google Alert feature. If you go to Google.com and find their Alert hyperlink, you might
sign up to have Google send you electronic mail
once a day, once a week or once a month when a news article turns up relating to any topic you choose. With Google Alerts, sometimes ideas for articles just show up on your inbox!
It goes without saying, but I should mention it just the identical
. Plagiarizing articles is a crime. Most articles that are published on the Web are subject to copyright. Copying, rewriting or quoting from copyrighted articles without permission is illegal. There is nothing, however, that prevents you from using such articles or the subjects of such articles as inspiration for your own, unique writing. If you are willing to do a lot of searching, there are many dazzling sources of ideas for articles. Just build sure that the articles you write contain content that is your own. The rewards are sizeably good, and its value the effort.
