Free Original, Professionally Written Articles For Your Site

This is a great source if you’re looking to populate your site with original, high-quality articles that are also copyright free!

NewsUsa uses professional writers and editors to create fillers that newspapers can run when they need to fill news space. They have just started a syndication for websites- so if you have a website you can sign up and start using the articles on your site. The fillers usually highlight a client of NewsUsa who is mentioned inside the article.

How can you make money with these?

Easy… surround them with AdSense, place a sign up box to capture emails and send targeted offers and more…

The catagories of articles are pretty extensive: everything from “Tips/How To” to “Family, “Advice”, “Careers” and more are available… hundreds of articles! I’m sure you’ll be able to find one category that maches your site’s niche.

To visit the site go to: NewsUsa.com

And to sign up for their Syndication servie, allowing you to publish these articles on yoru site, go to:

http://about.newsusa.com.gravitatehosting.com/edit-home.asp

The nice thing about these articles, beside being professional written is there are NO resource box requirements. In other words, there are no author links… so you can get creative here. Include your own resource box at the top and bottom of each article. All they ask is that you retain the NewsUSA attribution (NU, NUI, NewsUSA) and the client’s name and information in the article.

People Buy For Their Reasons, Not Ours

I had a call recently from someone who said he’s afraid to market online because a lot of the information he wants to sell is already available for free.

I have always said, and most experts agree, that, “People buy for their reasons, not ours”.

And that is true.

So how should we look at this problem with a winning attitude?

First, nothing EVER sells itself. Just because you have it on your shelf or website, doesn’t mean anyone will buy it. Even if it’s free, most people will treat it as ‘free’ and totally under-value the information and possibly treat it as “worthless” because they got it for free!

Right?

Listen carefully,

“THERE HAS TO BE ONE OR MORE REASONS FOR THEM TO BUY IT.”
