Just a quick tip I thought I'd share. It might not work as good for you as it has for me but it's certainly worth a try. Basically, if your blog's chosen niche has a forum around with a few guys who are fairly passionate about your niche, it may be worthwhile to make a post requesting help. Make a post advertising your blog and asking if anybody wants to help out by writing content. I've just done this on a forum that is quite large and had four people respond already. That's 4 people who are willing to help write content and publish articles on my blog! I've been quite trusting and gave them all Author* rights, I just have to see how they get on. I can always delete anything that isn't suitable and remove their accounts if they are publishing crap content. I'll post in a couple of days and let you all know how my new employees have got on *I'm unsure whether it would be better to set them as Contributors. Would this be better? I don't really know much about the Wordpress user system.
Are they going to do this for free??? or for a price??? I find it hard to believe that anyone would do it for free but you never know
Matt-Baker I have done this a few times and your right it does work. Emperor As for paying them... Depending on your blogging platform there are plugins that allow the authors AdSense ID to be inserted into the ads on articles that they write.
I won't be paying them, they are simply volunteering. The prospect of helping out on the site is something that actually appeals to a few people. Obviously this depends on the niche, I doubt you are going to find many people here at DP who will write SEO articles for you for free!
