Three Ways to Get Top Quality Content for Your Niche Websites
Good, popular, profitable niche topic websites need good content. Period. You and I both know this.
Now, there are many ways to get content online...
1. You can hire freelance writers, and have them create custom content to be used by you exclusively. This is the best way to get content, because if you choose your writers well, you can get decent content on the topic of your choice. And chances are pretty slim that anyone else online will have the exact same content you have. The cheapest rate Ive seen this service at though, is $4 per article. Usually its more like $10 and up per article if you want good content. So a mere 20 articles will cost you at least two hundred bucks!
2. Another great way to get content online though, is to join membership sites like Nicheology and Push Button Health. These sites give you a steady flow of rough draft content for one set price each month. The content usually needs some work, but its generally worth it for the price paid. The catch though, is that these sites are usually filled to their limit. So if you want to join, youll find yourself waiting in line... sometimes for over 6 months!
The other problem with membership sites is the number of people who have access to the exact same content. Nicheology for instance, limits the number of active members to 1500. Thats 1499 other people besides yourself who have access to the exact same content. BUT... thats not including all of the previous members who ALSO had access to that content... and its not including all of the new members who will come around in the future. Theyll have access to that same content as well.
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. Theres a couple of catches to this method though... First: You have to keep the authors name on the article. Youre not allowed to change or edit the article. Usually youre not even allowed to link to one of your websites, pages or affiliate programs from within the article either. Then you have to include the bio box at the end of the article. This - by the way - tends to be an advertisement of some sort. And last but not least: You have to link to the authors website. And in many cases, you have to link to several of the authors websites.
Oh yeah... one more thing about these free articles: Since theyre 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 the above brief comparison helps you understand the 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.

Using limited time offers can spark a feeding frenzy that will sell tons of your products or service. The key to success with this is ensure that you are only using this offer once in a while. If visitors notice you run specials once every month the word will get out and people will always wait for the special promotions to buy your products.
What is a limited time offer
A limited time offer is a special promotion you present to your website viewers for a special allotted period of time before it goes back up to your normal every day price.
How can you profit from a limited time offer
Build a list of interested prospects by making a free offer on your website. The free offer could be a special report, a product sample or free e-book related to the product or service you are trying to sell.
Then you have people that are interested in your product but have not bought for a variety of reasons (as they do purchase your product move them from your prospect list to your customer list). Periodically send a members only special offer to your prospect list offer either a discounted price on your current product or a special offer that adds value to your current product. By doing this you will increase your sales without loosing too much revenue.
How often to run a limited time offer
There is no set time frequency of when you should run a limited time offer, this is entirely up to you. If you do it too much it will loose its positive effect, therefore it should only be done once or twice a year.
What else can you limit to increase response
You can limit supply of a product. If you want to continue to sell the product after the promotion the key is to bundle other products to this exclusive limited quantity offer. After XX amount are sold the offer is gone forever.
You can give away bonus special reports, a free 1 hour consultation with you or a free related resource list that they can find useful in addition to your product.
Can this be used offline as well
Yes this very same formula will work offline. Extensive studies have shown offline limited time offers often work better that online ones. The key is to test it for your specific market and see which gets best results.
