How to Find and Buy Article Content
You’ve likely seen articles on your favourite sites talking about how important it is to create unique and valuable content to target the right audiences. But, creating custom content can be challenging for even the most seasoned editors. Finding and buying article content can seem like an endless loop of frustration; you try one platform and find the perfect article, only to find they’re all sold out and significantly in demand after buyers scramble to secure copies before they disappear again. But this need not be. Article reuse is costing publishers more money than they know. It’s time to take advantage of what you already have rather than pay for unneeded services or spend hours digging through databases until you find what you need. Let’s look at how you can start discovering, buying, and aggregating article content today – and tomorrow – so you no longer have access to it at high, inconvenient prices.
What does the article content look like?
Article content can vary depending on the type of website. However, some general guidelines make a good article: it should be well-written and easy to read; it has to draw in an audience; it’s relevant to your audience and topic, and it’s timely. So, how do you find the right article? It all starts with using tools to find pieces that fit your needs. You can set up alerts for keywords that interest you using tools like Google Alerts or WordPress plugins. If you want articles related to a specific topic – like advice for startups – then use the keyword search tool on sites such as Bing or Google. You can also search for popular blogs or websites related to your industry and see if they have any related articles you could use in your piece. Once you’ve found what you think is an article worth considering, look at their shared social media links (if available) and see what other information is accessible from the source. It may help give you a better idea of who the writer is and their background, which will help ensure their writing fits your brand. Next, ensure the article is still available on the source before buying it because once sold out, it may be hard to find again without paying too much for reuse rights. When deciding whether or not to buy an article, consider how much time you want to spend on suitable sourcing content and how much.
Where do you find article content?
You’ve probably spent hours on a website scouring through pages of articles and sources that are relevant to your industry. But what happens when you find an article you like but unavailable? You end up paying for content that might have been better served had it been free. A few ways to find content include:
1) Searching social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram
2) Using a keyword search on Google
3) Looking through the many article directories out there – which can be time-consuming and unreliable
4) Adding your company’s domain name to the search bar in Google
5) Using a tool like ArticleReuse.com or ReuseIt
6) Checking out niche websites related to your field that may offer content for sale.
How to find the perfect re-usable article
The first step to finding your perfect article is to become aware of what sources are available. If you want to avoid the frustration of having no luck as a marketer, you must start by knowing what kind of content is out there in the marketplace. Here are some resources for finding available articles: - Google Alerts for keywords like “SEO,” “SEM,” “online marketing,” etc. - Search platforms like articlebase.com, sciobase.org, and bizsolver.com - Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter - Blog sites that accept articles as submissions and allow authors to sell them on their site. This information will help you narrow down the options to where you can find exactly what you need in time for it to be valuable to your business goals. But what do you do once you have found that perfect article?
The next step is identifying how much it’s worth so that you can pay accordingly. There are multiple free tools online that will help with this task: - Buzzsumo is an excellent resource for figuring out how much traffic a given piece of content has received over a certain amount of time or the number of shares or likes on social media (like Facebook or Twitter) - Articlebase offers a cost calculator based on what type of content it is and who the author is (based on credentials) Once again, these tools will help you determine if the price.
Buying Reused Article Content
One way to find available article content is by using a syndication service. These platforms allow you to search for and buy reused content for your site. You can keep searching for your perfect article or choose from what is available on the platform. Another way to find reused content is using Google’s Keyword Planner tool. You enter keywords that you want to target and see what articles have been written about them and how popular they are. This is an excellent place to specify your keyword variations if you want to get more specific with how you want your article content delivered. Be careful when choosing between the two methods: many of these services will only offer articles that are pre-written and ready for use – whereas an even better option might be sourcing original content to write new pieces and sell them directly, saving yourself a lot of time, frustration, and money!
Summing up
the benefits of article reuse This is one benefit you can reap by finding and buying your content. You’re not paying for something that somebody else created, and you’re getting the use rights to it. So, if you need this content again in the future, whatever platform or service provider you bought from will be happy to sell it at a discounted price. Another benefit that you can get through article reuse is time-saving. Buying your content saves time because there are no hassles of searching for an editor, waiting for them to finish their work, and waiting for responses from them (or not). Instead of spending hours on these tasks, you can spend this time working on other parts of your business instead. Finally, article reuse results in cost savings. This is another benefit you can gain when buying content instead of renting it. Because they’ve already paid for the content multiple times before selling it to you, they can afford to give it away at a low price point than a service like Content Connect might charge.
FAQs
What are the consequences of reusing content?
There are a lot of negative connotations that surround the idea of reusing content. It’s seen as a lazy way to stretch your writing resources or as an unethical practice that isn’t sustainable over the long term. But there’s some truth to these beliefs. Article reuse can be pretty expensive if you’re not careful. You’re often paying several times the actual price of the content you’re using. And these costs can add up quickly, leaving you with much less money in your coffers for other essential tasks. The first cost associated with article reuse is the per-article price. This is usually based on how many words or pixels the article contains and can range from $2-$5 per 1000 words or $5-$10 per image. The second cost is the per-download cost. This is typically a flat fee that covers all of the downloads from that specific piece of content. And it can be anywhere from $1-$5 per download. Finally, space costs are paid to the platforms that host your reused content for AdSense or display ads. This typically runs between $0.50-$3 per 1000 words or $2-$6 per image.
What are the benefits of reusing content?
Why is content reuse so damaging? Reusing content on a website not only reduces the amount of new, unique content being published to your site but also negatively impacts your site’s quality and traffic. Effectively using article reuse on your website can harm your bottom line. Let’s imagine a website publishing an article about the best dog collars for hiking. The website owner wants to include some relevant product links in the report. Unfortunately, the product resellers are selling out of those products, leaving little availability for the site owner to purchase. In this scenario, even though the product is relevant to hiking dogs if the product links aren’t available and people aren’t clicking through them, they’re not worth anything to your business. An even worse scenario is if people click through those links but never buy anything. If that’s the case, you not only missed out on potential revenue, but you may have also lost some valuable organic search traffic.
How can you identify content that can be reused?
Here are a few tips for finding and reusing content:
1. Look for the low-hanging fruit: Content is ripe for reuse when it’s written on a popular topic that other sources have already covered. Content that has been published before and is still relevant will be the most accessible and can be purchased at a fraction of the cost of new original content.
2. Find content aggregators: Many websites curate content from around the web to offer as one unit. This can be an excellent place to find content to reuse, as it often comes from multiple, legitimate sources and has already been reviewed by a third-party editorial team.
3. Dig for hole-filling opportunities: Content aggregation sites do not always offer the same content in their collection. Sometimes they will have more of one type of content than another or different versions of the same piece. This could be an opportunity to fill holes in your existing articles with filler material from another source or provide additional context or information that may be missing from the original article.
4. Look for repurposing opportunities: Repurposing content is when you take a piece that already exists and re-write or update it to fit into your site’s format, tone, and style. This strategy has many benefits: it can save you time and money, improve search engine optimisation (SEO), and reach a larger audience through cross-promotion with other sites in your network.
