Okay, so you've got your Ezine all designed and ready to go. All you need now is some good content to send to people. Time to get out your trusty keyboard and start pumping out those killer articles. Certainly you know everything there is to know about the subject of your Ezine and should have no trouble...
What's that you say? You couldn't write a post-it to pick up milk at the store if you tried? Not a problem. There is no rule that says you have to write all the content for your Ezine by yourself, or at all for that matter. There is tons of content all over the Internet about a variety of subjects.
What's that you say? You don't want to have to pay for content? Not a problem. There are plenty of places where you can get content for free. Well, almost for free anyway. There is always going to be some kind of catch but at least in many cases that catch isn't going to cost you anything out of your pocket.
The most common catch is that the person who supplies content for your Ezine is going to insist that he be allowed to include a link to his site at the end of the article. This isn't a problem unless he just happens to run a site that is in direct competition with yours. For example, let's say you have a site that specializes in collectable baseball cards and the person who you want to get an article from also has the same kind of site. There is a very good
chance that he will steal some of your business, especially if he has a larger inventory. So you have to weigh the pros and cons of using an article from this person.
Another common catch to getting articles from a person, site or service is that you have to subscribe to the service in order to do this. This usually means giving them your email address. What this does is it makes it so that this person, site or service can send you their own offers to your email account. This can become a bit of a pain in the rear end if these people start sending you ten emails a day.
Ideally, you want to be able to find free content that has no strings attached at all. This will require a bit of digging and you won't find much. People on the Internet don't work for nothing. They are going to expect something in return for using their work, even if it's just a footnote at the bottom of the article with their name and a link to their site.
However, having said that, if you really do some digging, you can find free content with no strings attached. The easiest way to do this is to go to any search engine and type in "free content for Ezines with no strings attached." Leave out the quotes or they'll match it exactly. If you look hard enough you will find a few places that will give you content to use. It may not be the greatest quality but it will be free and with no strings.
