If you have a blog, creating excellent content is critical if you would like your blog to have repeat visitors. If you would like your blog to be noticed by the search engines, blog regularly and upload fresh content as frequently as possible. This will help in your blog optimization. Once you setup blog, how would you love to get content and inspiration for your blog? Would you be excited to have others help to create your blog content? How is it possible then to get others to create your blog content for you?
Look for great bloggers. If you take a look at many of the popular blogs, you will realize that there is more than one writer. Some of these writers contribute their content on a regular basis and others on an adhoc basis.
Why would guest bloggers want to write useful and original content for your blog? In exchange for their unique content, you will give them credit and insert a byline with a link to their blogs. Thus it is a win-win situation all round.
If you are on any of the social media sites and have some friends and followers, you can put up a post asking if anyone would like to write an article for you in exchange for a byline.
Outsource. You can hire ghost writers. There are many good writers available in the market who would be more than happy to create some content for you for a small fee. They may cost anywhere from $5 – $25 per article of approximately 400 – 600 words. You can provide them with your title/headline as well as secondary and lexical keywords that you wish to be included in the article.
Ghost writers can be found at elance.com or guru.com. You might want to see samples of some of their previous work before selecting one with the quality that you are looking for. Of you can try out the services of two or three and decide which style of work you prefer and move on from there.
Use other people’s content. When you come across great articles by other writers, you can leverage on their credibility by placing their content on your blog. This is one of the easiest and simplest ways to get unique and great content on your blog. Do not forget to give them the credit by including their byline. It would be a good idea to add your comments, tips or ‘aha’ moments to the content as well.
This is a way for you to share any useful and relevant information with your subscribers. Your readers will appreciate your efforts and the credit goes to you for providing value even if you were not the one who actually created the content.
It is not difficult to get others to create you blog content after you have setup your blog. Search engines love blogs and blogs tend to get higher and more favourable rankings on search engines. Blog optimization is enhanced with fresh content daily uploaded.
