Enjoy!
So you want to become a profitable blog owner but find yourself without money.
What are you to do?
Give up?
No. Thats not your style, thats not who you are, you would rather look for feasible options to get to where you want to be in your blogging journey.
Now, you know what you must do to be successful. You know that if you are a blogger or a content-based website owner, then having high quality, engaging and interesting content on your platform will be your number one priority.
Why wouldnt it be? After all, in order to establish your website as a resource worth following, you need to have hours and hours worth of content on it.
Not just regular content but amazing, high quality content.
Remember that this content doesnt just have to be there for the sake of being present on your websites pages. It must serve a purpose so your target audience can see your website as a resource worth following. It must be high quality so those who are reading your content are not put off by grammatical errors. And it must be unique so that your website is not marked as a cheap doppelganger that plagiarizes the work of other writers.
If your target audience finds engaging content on your site, you earn instant followers that turn into repeat visitors. On the other hand, if they dont find what they are looking for or have read the same content on another site, they forget about your site as soon as they close its tab in their browser.
To add to the importance of engaging content, thats not the only advantage of having a plethora of content on your site. If your website offers detailed and interesting content, it also enhances your search engine rankings against your target keywords. As a result, you are able to drive more traffic to your site with minimal marketing costs. But if you copy content from other sites, search engines can mark your website as being a plagiarized platform that steals content from other sites. As a result, they can drop your rankings like a hot pan without a second thought.
But for bloggers like you who hold high ambitions yet work with limited resources, this requirement of populating your website with high quality content can be quite tricky. It is because as a blogger or content-based website owner, you dont have unlimited resources in your arsenal. If you write the content yourself, it takes away from the time you can spend generating revenues from something else. And if you hire someone to write the content for you, then it costs you a small fortune to fill your website with original content.
Thats where the methods of finding free original content come in.
If you know where to look, it is quite easy to find free original content for your website. By following a few steps, you can get high quality and fresh content for your site without having to pay an arm and a leg for it.
Method 1: Finding Original Content Through ExpiredDomains
If you are looking for quality content that comes without spending a pretty penny, then a great way to find it is by looking at domains that have gone inactive over the years.
This method to extract free content provides you with high quality content that seems like its tailor made for your website. If you follow the steps to a T, you would easily find the content that you need for your website.
1. Go to ExpiredDomains
The website ExpiredDomains is a popular portal to check dead domains that have been abandoned by their owners.
These domains are inactive. Some of them are even already deleted to be put on the market again. This means that any indexing that was done for these sites by Google in the past is now obsolete. This leaves the content of these expired domains open to be reused without being termed as plagiarized.
If you have guessed by now that these domains old websites are where you can find free original content, then first give yourself a pat on the back. Then, move forward with logging on to ExpiredDomains right away.
Once you are the website, you can search for expired domains or blogs with specific keywords that are related to your niche.
For example, if your blog is all about parenting, you can write the keyword parenting in the domain name search field.
From there, you will be shown an array of results. Here, you can sort through fields such as ACR (Archive.org number of crawl results). This gives you the most viable websites to look through in order to find free original content.
For this particular piece, we are going to select the website with a moderate amount of ACR or Archive.org number of crawl results, which is JoyfulParenting.org.
It is because the higher ACR sites you choose, the more chances there are that someone else may have already reused their previous content.
Note: It is better to create an account on ExpiredDomains, so you can benefit from additional features of the platform.
After you fill out your details, you will be sent an activation email.
Make sure to click on the activation link in the email you receive at the provided address.
Once you have signed up and activated your account successfully, you can benefit from additional search filters on the platform. They can be useful while searching for highly specific domains in order to help you find free original content.
2. Go to Archive.org
We will now check the website JoyfulParenting through Archive.org.
If you are not aware of the Archive.org platform, it is a website that archives web pages and saves a snapshot of them online. This way, the websites snapshot is available even after the website is taken offline.
Lets go ahead and enter JoyfulParenting into the search field.
