Where To Find Content For Your Blog – Part 2
3. Hit the Article Directories
Article directories are databases full of articles that authors have submitted in hopes that others will pick them up and publish them on their websites and blogs. You can find articles on just about every topic of the sun at these directories.
The catch is that you must include the author’s resource box, which normally contains information about the author and a link to their website, when you publish it on your own site. They are great sources of information, but read the articles very carefully to be sure you are getting the content you want for your website. You wouldn’t want to place incorrect information on your blog and mislead your readers after all.
Here are some of my most favorite article directories:
Ezine Articles
Free Affiliate Articles (get articles that you can monetize with affiliate links in the resource bio)
LadyPens.com
4. Create Video & Audio
Audio and video are growing ever popular online, especially on blogs. You can publish your own audios and videos or you can link to ones that others have created.
Here are some ideas for creating your own audios and videos that you can publish on your blog:
• Interviews with experts in your field
• How-to videos
• Talk radio shows and podcasts
• Training
• And more
Don’t have audio or video creation software? No sweat – you can easily create short videos on your digital camera and upload them to sites like these:
YouTube
Flickr
Blip TV
12 Seconds TV
If you’re looking for audio help, have a glance at these sites:
AudioAcrobat
Blog Talk Radio
5. Add RSS News Feeds
As you probably already know, most blogs have what is known as an RSS feed. This is where, when set up by the blog owner, readers can subscribe to the feed and be notified of new posts to the blog via email or feed readers. If your blog doesn’t have one, I highly suggest you create one. It’s really easy with the help of a site like FeedBurner.com.
Just as blogs have feeds, so do news websites such as CNN, MSNBC, etc. You can have your blog set up to receive feeds from other blogs or websites automatically. When you do this, your blog will show the posts from the other sites. Your blog is updated automatically every time a post is added to that site.
What a great way to have constant content pertaining to your topic appear on your blog. Great for indexing in the search engines too.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice tips Alvin,
I’m sure I’m 100% comfortable with the idea of taking peoples articles and putting them on your site – even if you do credit them. I think you should include your own unique content too otherwise people that go to your site may get upset that you’re just using other peoples content all the time.
I’m assuming the people that go to those sorts of sites aren’t regular visitors and it’s more a case of getting an affiliate sale as soon as the visitor enters the site. Why? Because if you’re just putting in articles others have written you’re not 100% writing for your regular readers.
