Hi, I am in the process of releasing a new article site. My question is how to attract people to publish a good number of articles submitted ? Your views on it please..
You should work on getting links to this article site from lists of article submission sites. Also, promote it on DP. Another idea could be that you search sites like goarticles, and other article sites, get articles from a few writers who have submitted articles there (for a particular niche) add their articles, and maybe send them an email with a small note saying you've included their article.. and invite them to submit more articles if they want. Many people might consider this as SP*M, but since you are already linking to their article with a link to their site, I think people will be happy to know you've linked to them and they'll be willing to submit more articles. Also, invite people to submit their articles by starting threads here and on other Webmaster forums.
Will it be helpful to start it with few 1000's of ready made articles (I mean what is been sold as database dumps)
i have worked with a hydrabad company... they were running an affiliate progrm for writers for making posts that how you can dump... 1000's of articles. but believe it is a costly effort; you can easilt do it on a cheaper basis.
OK will pm you ! but there are more effictive and better measures because i have seen these thing crashing down in past.
putting content in a article site... thats what he is asking abt ...how should he do this ? the best and cheapest way is to get in touch with some top artcle sites and promote theire feeds first..rather that going on to buy content. need to use money in a smart way to earn more.. if you do have it. use it smartly.
