Owning and maintaining an internet business requires that you have fresh content articles on a regular basis -- preferably daily. Articles quench the thirst for information and knowledge that lures your prospects to your site.

So what are your options if you simply hate to write?

To begin, if you don't want to hire someone to do it for you, you can obtain free articles online. Public domain articles are available for anyone to use. And, you don't need to worry about copyright issues with public domain articles.

Public domain articles have expired copyrights. In other words, when a work is copyrighted, that copyright has an expiration date. Copyrights can be extended but when the author dies, sometimes they don't get extended and actually expire. When that happens, they end up in the public domain. So, these are writings that were once published. And, in that light, the writing should be very good.

Because public domain articles are available to anyone, your competition may also be using them. This can be verified easily with a search engine. Make sure the articles you choose pertain to your website topic. You'll likely need to edit them a bit in order to place your keywords in the right places.

Another way to get free articles is to allow other sites which have similar content to submit articles to your site. Most bloggers today do utility posting which is exactly this. They use content from other blogs and give the blog a trackback (link).

Now, some people might think WAIT A MINUTE - I don't want to put links to other sites on my site! But, if that's what you're thinking, you're a bit behind the times, I'm afraid. If you've ever heard the term Web 2.0 that's really what it's all about. Even Google knows this and is now serving up pages with the most popularity based on the number of links to and from a site and, of course, a lot of other things too. But social populariaty is REALLY important!!!

So, start sharing as much as you can and forget about keeping all the links to yourself.

But, here's the gold nugget in all of this and why I'm writing to you today. There are also a lot of article sharing services popping up online. I recently joined one and not only do they send my "unique" articles to about 700 sites each time I submit one, but I also subscribe to the service and get as many unique articles each day as I need. And, you don't have to write articles if you only want to receive articles.

It's not expensive and well worth the small monthly fee for the number of links I'm seeing in Google on a daily basis. It's absolutely the greatest method Im aware of to help share links and obtain unique content regularly. It's very easy to post to all of my blog sites now. I choose how many articles to receive each day as well as the categories, and, I choose whether or not to put them on my blog. After all, not everyone can write good content! Cruddy writing gets deleted.

Just one more thing I also want to point out as far as where to get good content for your articles. There are many sites online that offer what are called Private Label Articles that you can publish and take credit for yourself. You can even rewrite them if you like. In fact, that's how this article came about. I have no problem writing, but by using a PLR article to start with, the ideas flow easier and I don't have to come up with all original content.
