I HATE Writing Articles --- Isn't There an EASIER Way?

     There may be a tremendous amount of truth to the title of this article in relationship with you personally.  However, you have to realize that owning, running and maintaining an internet based business or any web site for that matter requires that you have articles. Plain and simple, everyone who has a site knows this. Even those who don’t have sites but are frequent internet users know this as well. Articles quench the thirst for information and knowledge of the people. Plus, articles provide many other benefits for the site.

     The benefits that articles provide are putting a site high in the ranking in search results of keywords and keyword phrases that pertain or are relevant to his or her site. They also provide attraction to website visitors when they are appreciated and are linked to your site from another site or newsletter. Articles provide for the increase of the confidence and trust levels of customers to your site and company. Let’s face the facts:  Articles are IMPORTANT!

     Many articles are also beneficial to both company and its traffic. When the readers like the articles, they will tell more of their friends, family and peers and recommend your site to them, providing for a larger volume of traffic. You get bigger sales if your traffic trusts and believes in you. Your products or services would be much easier to sell when people know you know what you are doing and talking about.

     So, we have established that articles are very important to your site and to your business. Articles are crucial, and to keep ahead in the game, a site must have good, fresh, compelling articles, it is imperative. There is one dilemma though, not many people like writing articles.

     Many website owners would rather spend their time on something else, and unless you’re a big time company, you don’t have the necessary resources to use for a pool of article writers. Plagiarism or the copying of other articles is HIGHLY frowned upon and could easily get you into legal troubles, worst case scenario; a hefty fine and jail time.  So what are the other options?

     For starters if you hate writing articles and you can’t afford to hire people to write for you then don’t. Get free articles. The first place to look for free articles is the public domain.  Here you won’t have problems with copyright infringement and the following penalties and fines if you get caught for plagiarism.

     Public domain articles are articles freely given to the public for public use. You can do whatever you want with them. You can place it on your site, name it as yours, or put it in a newsletter: it’s your decision. Always remember though, not just ANY articles will do, you will have to choose articles that are very relevant to your site.

     The downside to public domain articles is that since it is free for everybody, many of your competitors may have access to them as well. Since every site needs to be original and unique even though you have the same niche, this could be a predicament. You may also have to edit them a bit to place more keywords and keyword phrases to make them better and thereby more appropriate for YOUR site.

     Another way to get free articles is to allow other sites which have the same subject or topic as yours to submit articles to your site. This would be only to augment your existing content or else all your articles would be leading to other sites since these articles would have resource boxes with them that could link or direct the readers to their site. That’s why it is important to have your own articles; you could use them to link your site to other sites as well.

     But, to truly feel the impact of what a good article means for you, go for original ones. There are many article writers who do part time and freelance article writing jobs that charge only minimal fees. You can get good articles that have all the keywords and keyword phrases you need and people are looking for at a reasonable price.

     The investment you make for these articles would be worthwhile because you could use them for all the benefits you could offer. You hold copyrights to them and you will be able to use them anyway you want.  As your articles help you in building your business and your site, you will have more articles to write and maybe then you won’t be having second thoughts about articles.

     Writing articles is like many other things we fear in the operations of our businesses.  Facing that fear, as difficult as it may be, will provide great benefits for the future income flow of our company.  So put fear behind you and start writing!
