4. Check your facts. If your article shows promise, someone may very well come along and want to use it in their own marketing presentation. You may be quoted, and your name passed on as an expert in your field. If you intend to be an expert, then take care to back your arguments with solid evidence. There's nothing worse than seeing your article plastered all over internet only to learn later that it contained wrong information.

5. Include examples. Here's an example of how to include an example. Let's say you're writing about a weight-loss program. You've already told your reader that countless people have benefited tremendously while on program. Now create a powerful image of program with three short success stories from real people with real-live testimonials. Examples drive point home and build your reputation as an expert!

6. Don't be a rambler. We talked about authors who don't provide enough detail within their articles. An opposite but equally novice offense is to include too much detail! Don't be tempted to go off on tangents that don't relate to main idea. When developing your paragraphs and points of interest, follow Goldilocks rule: not too long, not too short, but just right. If you feel like taking a portion of your article and going on for pages about it, great! Just be sure to do it in a different article.

7. Proofread. An expert article author always submits flawless work. Always, always, always proofread your writing before you hit Submit. All of major word processing programs offer spellcheck, so there's no excuse not to use it. Also keep in mind that spellcheck won't always catch error. For example, if you type 'thing' instead of 'think,' your computer will accept 'thing' as a valid word and your mistake will go undetected. So proofread thoroughly with your own two eyes, and be sure that your article is 100% error-free.

Follow these helpful guidelines, and master art of perfect article-writing! Submit your articles on web, and get free exposure for your website while establishing yourself as an expert in your field.

3. Now, one more excellent way to get website content is through free article distribution websites and mailing lists. You can literally get thousands upon thousands of articles completely free this way. There's a couple of catches to this method though... First: You have to keep author's name on article. You're not allowed to change or edit article. Usually you're not even allowed to link to one of your websites, pages or affiliate programs from within article either. Then you have to include "bio box" at end of article. This - by way - tends to be an advertisement of some sort. And last but not least: You have to link to author's website. And in many cases, you have to link to several of author's websites.

Oh yeah... one more thing about these free articles: Since they're free - tens of thousands of other websites use them too!

Putting quality content on your website will help bring in relevant, targeted traffic. And that usually brings in more clicks... and more sales. Hopefully above brief comparison helps you understand different ways to get content for your site. Study them fully, and choose which one works best for you, your site needs, and your budget.
