Very useful article Alvin for people like me who like blogs but hate blogging! I leave blogging for when I feel like it which is not all that often! Looking at Articles directories and then planning a series of posts seems a workable way forward!

Hi,

Thanks for the tips.

I just started to write a few articles to article directories and it is quite a challenge to identify topics to write, to promote my website.

Hi Alvin,

For me, it’s not difficult to know “what” to write about. I find it difficult to actually find the TIME to blog. I think many online marketers, like myself…and you, are one man bands.

Private Label articles are a good resource to pull ideas from too. I wouldn’t recommend using the generic PLR article itself, but I would recommend taking that article and making it relevant to your readers.

For example, I developed Promo Code Software which is an online service and marketing tool. I created my blog to talk about how to use PCS as a marketing tool instead of as a “coupon generator” just to give discounts. That said, I’ve got PLR articles about “marketing” in general. I plan on taking the ideas in the PLR articles and re-writing them to show my users ideas on how to use my service.

But then again, there is the time issue. I have to pick and choose the content…then re-write.

I have an ad in the outsourcing website hiremymom.com to have some freelance writers help me develop my content but, unfortunately, I haven’t gotten any responses yet.

I guess to make a long story short…I plan on coming up with the ideas through PLR and then hiring out the actual writing. I already know that I simply run out of time.

I do like your idea of looking at the contents pages in the bookstores or library’s. Your local library is an excellent source and it’s free.

I am still in information overload. I must be getting about 20 e-mails a day, and I am weeding my way through it. I have not given up on blogging. I believe that it is a GOOD thing.

There is some information that I would like to share. With this current world oil crises it would help.

Beat the oil companies.
SAVE 7% on your gasoline bill. Increase your tire pressure from 32 lb. to 42 lb. This will not only save gas but increase your tire life as well. You might want to lower the pressure for winter driving to get better traction. If everyone did this then the world price of oil would drop.
