Building a business online means you need to provide fresh content for your site daily. Content is still King and it really is necessary. Fresh content articles pull potential customers to your website by providing new information regularly.

But, what are you to do if you don't want to write or simply don't know how?

First of all, if you just don't like writing and you don't want to hire someone to write for you, you can get a lot of free articles online. One place to look is at public domain articles. Copyright infringement is not an issue with public domain articles.

Public domain writings are simply expired copyrights. When a work is originally copyrighted, the copyright only lasts for a specified period of time. If the copyright isn't extended, usually when an author dies, then it simply expires. Then the writing is placed in the public domain. These are articles or writings that were once published works and so the English and grammar should be very good. You may need to check copyright laws in the country in which you reside for more information.

The flipside of using public domain articles is that your competition may also be using them. But you should be able to verify this easily enough in the search engines. You may have to edit them a little in order to put your keywords and phrases in appropriately. Additionally, be sure that they pertain to your niche topic.

You can also let other websites with similar content submit articles and post them on your site. Many bloggers today do what is known as "utility posting" in which they post an intro to a post on another site and link to it. They are using content from other blogs to fill their content needs and linking to the other blog.

Now, you might be saying -- wait a minute, I don't want links to other sites on my site! Well, if that's what you think, you're a little behind the curve because that's exactly what Web 2.0 is all about! Google knows this and is now serving up pages based primarily on their social popularity. Google weighs other parts of the site as well, but always remember that social populariaty is VERRRRY important!

So, forget about keeping all the links to yourself and start sharing as much as you can.

But, here's the gold nugget in all of this and why I'm writing to you today. There are also a lot of article sharing services popping up online. I recently joined one and not only do they send my "unique" articles to about 700 sites each time I submit one, but I also subscribe to the service and get as many unique articles each day as I need. And, you don't have to write articles if you only want to receive articles.

Hey, it's not expensive and it's the best way I know of to share links and get unique content on a regular basis. This makes it so easy for me to post to my blog sites now. I choose the categories, I choose how many articles I want each day and I choose whether or not to actually post them. After all, as we discussed earlier, not everyone can write well! Crappy content gets the boot!

Just one more thing I also want to point out as far as where to get good content for your articles. There are many sites online that offer what are called Private Label Articles that you can publish and take credit for yourself. You can even rewrite them if you like. In fact, that's how this article came about. I have no problem writing, but by using a PLR article to start with, the ideas flow easier and I don't have to come up with all original content.
