  • Are you a publisher of an ezine, newsletter or website? If so, have you ever noticed how hard it is to find quality content to place into your site, ezine or newsletter?

    When I first started on the web, this was a common problem for me. Finding good content is not a problem for me anymore.

    I have built my business around helping my clients get their content out into the vast world wide web. In helping my clients get their free reprint articles distributed, I had to uncover the various methods of distributing articles. In doing so, I have located the following resources that can be used by anyone to distribute articles, and more this the point in this forum, for publishers and webmasters to find top-notch content for their publications and for their websites.

    Each distributed article contains special terms of reprint rules. Please adhere to these instructions. The author of the work is giving you permission to reprint his or her work on the condition that you follow the rules he or she has added to their article.

    In all cases, you must include the Resource Box (the portion at the bottom of the article that tells about the author) and you must hyperlink the URL's in the Resource Box. This is very important. If you fail to honor the stated terms of reprint attached to an article, then you will be using the content illegally!

    Yes, the articles that you can acquire for publication through the avenues listed below do in fact suggest that they are "free reprint" articles. Yet, the terms of reprint defines the true nature of "free."

    Generally, "free reprint" is defined as without financial cost, ie. no money to change hands. Despite the description of "free," free-reprint articles are not provided to you without a cost. The cost for publishing a free reprint article is outlined in the terms of reprint.

    Your actual cost of using this content is to provide hyperlinks for all URL's, to not make changes to the article, AND most importantly, to include the author's Resource Box whenever you publish an article. As a courtesy, you should also contact the author and notify them of the publication of their article.

    What it boils down to is this. The author has taken the time and effort to create this article for the sole purpose of promoting his or her own business. The author's only payment for his or her work is to have their advertisement (Resource Box) placed in your publication or website. The content is being provided by the author with the express hope that they might be able to generate income from the sale of their products or services also.

    We assume that the reason you are seeking the content in the first place is for the promotion of your own business, and your intended hope in using the content is to generate sales in your own business. There are enough dollars to go around. You will benefit from the use of the content and you may sell some goods and services to the people who have read the content you have used. And the author will hopefully benefit also from the sale of his or her own products and services.

    Do right by the article's author, and they will do right by you. Both you and the author will benefit from the use of these articles, because both of you will be able to use the content to direct traffic and potential customers to your own online storefronts, and then hopefully directly to your shopping carts.

    Let's face it, you need the content that the author has created and the author needs for you to publish it. It is a clear cut case of "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine."


    Okay, enough ramblings from me. Let's get on to the meat of this website. Below you will find a list of article announcement groups where you can receive articles for reprint by email, and you will also find website archives where you can actively search for articles that you can use.
