5 Places To Find Content For Your Internet Marketing Efforts
5 Places To Find Content For Your Internet Marketing Efforts
There are several sources of content for those that are involved in internet marketing. Using some selected source of data, the information can be turned into quality content for your internet marketing efforts. This is far from an exhaustive list but it is likely the primary list of sources for most marketers that are trying to make money online.
Here then is a list of 5 sources for content:
1. Article Directories.
If you are just starting out this is likely one of the areas that you will use quite a bit. Many internet marketers will write articles and post them to one or several article directories. These directories will then make those articles available for people to use in their newsletters, on their blogs, in their ebooks, and others applications. This is referred to as article marketing, especially when you start submitting your own articles.
The restriction is that when you use someone else’s article, you must carry the author’s credit information along in any application that you make of the articles. This credit information is known as the resource/bio box.
2. Web searches.
An inspiring internet marketer can come up with an idea and search the internet for information on that idea. It is likely that you cannot come up with an idea for which there is not something already available on the internet.
What you do with this source is to collect a few snippets of information apply your own experience, knowledge, background, etc. into the information so that you develop content that is uniquely yours. This is like doing research on a subject and then turning that research into your own concept of that particular information.
3. Outsourcing.
To me this is the rich man’s way to get content. Many internet markets will hire what is called a ghostwriter to develop content for them. They buy the content and then they own the copyright to it. They can use it any way that they like because it is theirs.
As you have resources to do so this is a great way to obtain content because it frees up your time to so that you can work on the other aspects of your online business.
4. Private Label Rights (PLR)
It is becoming ever more popular to use Private Label Rights Content in the internet marketing world. In their efforts to provide quality content internet marketers are turning to PLR as a source for information. This has been happening for a while now.
This is a lot like outsourcing in that you are purchasing the efforts of someone else. The main difference, as I see it, is that the PLR is already available. Someone has decided to write about a subject and make the content available to people as PLR. This type of content may be free or require payment. Just make sure you follow the rights that you have to the PLR.
If you want to use private label rights to produce you quality content, you will need to rewrite it so that the final product is your own concept of the subject. Just like the research above, it’s not yours until you put forth the effort to make it so.
5. You.
Finally, there is you for the source. As you gain more and more experience you will be able to come up with your own content. When you are working in the internet marketing field, any niche, your own experience and abilities will start to produce your unique approach, methods, ideas, etc. These will just naturally lend themselves to content that is uniquely yours. This will be your best content.
Regardless of the source that you turn to in your search for content, make it yours. Then, you as an internet marketer will have content that brands you and not someone else. Unique content will also play better with the search engines.
By the way, this content came to me out of my experience and knowledge. I started writing about a totally different subject and this content just flowed to me and replaced my original idea. It will happen to you also. Now I need to go back to the original idea and develop it.
Use these sources, or others that you find, in your internet marketing efforts and you will find that your affiliate internet business online will benefit and likely become more profitably. Your relationship with your ezine subscribes will improve, your posts on your blog will draw more attention, likely your sales will increase, and other benefits will come to your internet marketing efforts to make money online.
To Your Online Success,

I love using private label rights to create quick reports and/or articles. It saves so much time and makes it a lot easier to get new content online that your readers will love.

I too like the use of PLR material, but that fifth element you mention of “you” is critical. The reworking of PLR through your personal perspective adds depth and a level of understanding to the material. Even if you are relatively new to a topic, you evaluation of what is important and what isn’t adds value to your reworking of the material. And in time you learn more and more and your contribution gains in value.

All five are great places to get ideas for content. I like number 4 and 5 the best. Plr is great for getting quick content that you can rewrite – the research is already done for you. Your own experiences can give you a great deal of content as well as you show in your post. Sharing those experiences gives value to us the readers

I am in favor of PLR content as well. I think it is great to have something if front of you that you can then put in your own words before you distribute it.

Not only are these great places to find content for your efforts, they are also great places to find inspiration and ideas for your next project, blog post, or whatever is in your pipeline.
Good post.
Keep up the good work.

Great summary Lonnie on how to get content resources. I wish I was good in number 5, but no I have to rely more on number 4 and strengthen my re-writing skills (and/or cut and paste)…

All 5 are great resources, Lonnie – and I’d like to add a 6th that only advanced marketers have been using so far: Web 2.0 content sites. Take a cruise through Squidoo, HubPages and Google Knol, find lenses, Hubs and Knols in your niche, then look to see which are rated highest, have the most comments, etc.
That shows you which areas have the most followers looking for that information, provides lots of ideas for articles or e-books, and often have links to further info on the topic.
