3 Ways To Do Article Marketing Without Writing Articles

We all want pre-qualified, targeted traffic. And we all want it for free. Which means article marketing is probably the best option for us. But if you're not a "born writer," how can you crank out the articles you need in order to drive the traffic to your web site?

In this article I'm going to give you three methods that work wonderful -- in the first two you don't write anything, and in the last method you magically create an article from stuff you have to write anyway.

1. Outsourcing the Regular Way - Almost everybody has heard of outsourcing. That's when you tell someone what you need and they do it for you for a certain amount of money. You can outsource the building of your house, the teaching of your children, and the mowing of your lawn. You can also outsource the writing of your articles.

There are many places online, such as eLance and RentACoder, where you can post a project and people will bid on it. You can say you need 10 articles on organic gardening and usually within hours you'll have people bidding on the job. Choose the one you want and in a few days you'll have 10 brand new articles delivered to you.

2. Outsourcing the Secret Way - Not many people know that Amazon has a service called Mechanical Turk where you can post projects you need done. The difference between Mechanical Turk and the services mentioned in the previous method is one of cost and quality. MTurk workers are often not professionals -- many are stay at home Mom's who are looking for quick little tasks to do in order to make a little money.

While the people writing aren't usually "real writers," they don't charge nearly as much (often less than a dollar per article) and I've had good luck getting decent quality writing using that service.

3. Using Your Other Writing - If you're marketing on the internet you probably have a blog you post to and you probably frequent one or more forums associated with your niche. Keep track of the blog posts and forum posts you make and put similar posts together to create a new article.

You're going to write those posts anyway, so just write them from now on with an eye toward using them later as articles.

Using one of the three methods shown above is a great way to get some articles written if you're in a time-crunch or if you just really hate writing. You can still take advantage of the benefits of article marketing even if you never type a word.
