How to get free content for your newsletter, ezine or website

If you have experience in owning websites then you will know that content is king. If you do a simple search in a search engine and look at the results they prove this, the content rich pages will dominate the results. Ezines, or newsletters as they are sometimes known, also require a lot of content because after all content is what they are.

So now that we have learned that content is very important on the internet how do we go about getting content? There are three main strategies you can employ. Firstly you could write your own content. This is a great option if you are knowledgeable in your particular area, and believe you can write interesting content with proper grammar and good spelling. You may not have these qualities though and like many people you may simply not have the time or the motivation. The second main option you have to get content is to hire someone to write for you. This can be a great way of getting content for some people, but it can be very a very expensive method to choose. I come now to third option and to the option that I consider to be the best way of getting content for your newsletter, ezine or website and that is to harvest your content from what are termed article directories.

So what are article directories? Article directories are quite self explanatory really they are basically directories of articles. The reason they are so good for getting content though is that a vast majority of them have it in their own interest for you to use their content. The reason for this is that they allow you to use their content only on their terms, these being that you keep the link showing the source of the content. The writers or authors of the content too stand to gain because in writing their articles they include in the footer a link to their own website. So everyone is a winner in the equation.

So where can you find article directories? There are a number of strategies you can employ to find article directories. The first of which is to use a search engine to search for the term "article directories". Using this method you should find a plethora of websites which are suitable. Another, more easy method though, you could use to find these article directories is to use some of the web addresses of article directories I have listed for you below. At the time of writing all these websites allow you to use their content for your newsletter, ezine, or website providing of course that you follow their terms and conditions.
