Recently we’ve been discussing two options with creating free reprint articles–you can either write the content yourself or outsource it to a professional writer.
I received a question on this that I thought was worth sharing:
I am trying to get started in Article Marketing and have wondered about outsourcing or writing my own. It seems that most people talk about doing either one or the other, but no comments about doing a combination of the two. Writing some yourself and then filling in the empty days with outsourced articles. Would a mixing of the style of writing be a problem for this approach ?
Great question–that’s certainly an option. There are a few things to look for and work on as you’re adding a writing partner to your team who is writing on your behalf.

Last time started covering this excellent question from a reader about creativity and coming up with fresh article ideas :
Do you ever wonder how many slices you can cut the cake up into?
Your subject here is all about article marketing &, I must admit, I am surprised how you keep on coming up with another topic / angle to talk about!
When we’re writing articles, surely there can only be so much to discuss before everything has been covered?
First off, it might help not to think of your topic as being a cake–there are only so many pieces that a cake can be cut into before it gets messy!
This might be a better picture for you…

You might think that it’s too hard to write while you’re traveling, but I want to challenge you to think differently.
I think that being on the move, going to a different city or country, and having a schedule that isn’t totally in your control just might work to your advantage when it comes to writing articles.
I travel regularly–I live in the UK, but at least a few times a year I’ll travel to other parts of the world for business conferences. I also like to travel with my family while I’m working–a few years back we travelled through France, and Spain for a few months.
So, I know what it’s like not only to be on the move, but also to have a young family along with you!
Traveling and working might be a little disorienting at first, but you’ll adapt more quickly if you use the following tips:

One big thing you’ll keep in mind as you’re creating content is that you’re not looking to be promotional in your articles. Rather, you want to be informative and helpful.
This can mean quite a shift in thinking for some people, as the temptation can be quite strong to write your article with the intention of telling everyone about your great website or business. It’s important to remember that writing about your business or website in an article really doesn’t work in this context.

When you start doing article marketing, you’ll find that you’re always trying to think of ideas for article topics.
The best part is that once you start writing articles, the very act of writing will give you a lot more ideas on what to write about in the future.
You’ll also find ideas popping into your head when you’re doing completely different things–for example, taking a shower, mowing the grass, taking your kids to school, or making dinner!
The important point is that you need a way to capture these ideas for the future, so that when you come to write your next article, you’ll have a ready stack of ideas to choose from and you won’t have to sit there struggling to think of something to write.

A free reprint article is a piece of content that you write or have written for you that you then either
- submit to an automatic article submitter which then takes on the job of distributing your article widely
- OR submit yourself to a few article directories.
The article that you create or have created is meant to be republished–that is the power behind article marketing.
The vehicle for the benefits you receive is the link to your website in the resource box (aka, author bio), which accompanies each article that is republished. (Or, if you’re a Gold Level member of SubmitYOURArticle.com, you have the added option of creating Naked Article links in the article body.)

We’re in the middle of a series of articles for beginners.
We’ve started from scratch, first explaining why article marketing is the perfect marketing tool for people of any skill level, then covering some ideas for pumping up your website content (no point in directing people to a site that doesn’t have valuable content waiting for them), and now you’re about to enter the main arena:
Writing articles!
I know it can be intimidating. It can be overwhelming to face a blank page and then think that you are writing something that will be republished all over the internet. It can be overwhelming to think that you need to write a certain quantity of articles by a certain date.
What I really recommend for beginners is:
1 – Take a deep breath.
2 – Exhale.
3 – Relax. Don’t think about writing 8 articles on the first day. Just work on writing one article.

So, you’ve decided to start writing articles and submitting them to online publishers, and you’re just not sure exactly how to go about writing articles that readers will be interested in.
Writing articles when you’re not used to it can be a little intimidating at first–you think, “I’ve never done this before (or I haven’t done it in a long time). What if I mess up?”
That’s a completely normal way to feel for any person who is learning a new skill.
