High quality content is crucial in order to retain visitors and have a high ranking on search engines. People often find you through the content you have on your website/blog. You want to provide answers to questions people are asking, ‘How Tos’, ‘Know Hows’ and articles that stimulate conversations. Finding the time to write your own content on a regular basis however might not be possible due to your schedule and a number of other factors. Now you’re probably wondering where to get content for your website. The good news is, there are free and low cost options available, to aid you in making regular posts.

1. Find A Writer

There are many writers offering their services on sites such as Freelancer, O’Desk and Elance. You can often get content written cheaply – as little as $1 per 500 words. The lower you pay however, the lower the quality of the writing you might receive. Prepare to pay a bit more than $1 and you are likely to find writers to provide quality content for you.

2. Invite Contributors

There are writers out there who are willing to write for free to build their reputation, resume, or to improve skills. Invite contributions from these writers and interns. If you can afford to, pay even a small stipend for the contributions made or if possible, give other rewards.
