How To Create Your Own Content for Your Blog

Once you have your blog set up and you have the proper content on it, you need to make sure you keep regular content flowing on the site. There are different ways for you to do this.

First, you need to know where you are getting your content from. You have basically two options: buy or hire someone to write the content or create the content yourself.

Create your own content 

The easiest and cheapest way is to create the content yourself. Blog posts are short (usually 250-500 words) and they don’t typically have to be very technical – unless your blog is a technical blog. You can easily create this content for yourself if you have the time. When creating your own content, keep these points in mind:

1. Keep it short – about 250-500 words

2. Start with a catchy title and headline to get their attention

3. Get right to the point with the beginning (you only have a few seconds to catch their attention on  the web)

4. Answer the reader’s question of “What’s in it for me?”


Creating your own content is a great way to save money and participate more in your blog project but you shouldn’t do it if you are a poor writer or if you take so long getting it done that you are not efficient and can’t keep the bog regularly updated. If you are not a writer, there are some other options for you to consider.

Use free content

 

Another option for you to consider if you don’t want to write your own is to use free content. There are several different ways to acquire free content for you to use if you know where and how to look. Article directories provide a steady supply of fresh content. You can copy and paste this, or simply have an RSS feed which updates every time fresh content is added to the site. Some of the big article directories are EzineArticles.com, GoArticles.com, IdeaMarketers.com and ISnare.com. There are also many others available for you to use.

Purchase content

 

Another option for you is to purchase original content for your site. You can hire a freelance writer to write articles for you. You can find service professionals on sites such as:

Elance.com

Guru.com

Rentacoder

Etc

Each of these works in the same basic way and will help connect you to a service provider who can do your job for you and usually at a low, affordable price.

Wherever you acquire your content, always watch out for two things:

1. Plagiarism

2. Duplicate content

Plagiarism will cause obvious problems. You should already know the reasons why to not do this. Duplicate content on your own sites can cause you to pay fines or even have your sites/blogs shut down so be careful of this as well.
