Write Your Weekly Ezine in 5-Minutes!

How to write your ezine in 5 minutes by legally and
ethically stealing other people’s articles…
There are virtual storehouses of awesome articles and
reports just waiting online for you to tap into. They’re
ready and available for your use; and, in fact, the authors
very much want you to go grab them and use their articles.
You don’t even have to search very far. You’re only a
scroll and a click away from a list of sites and locations
that will provide you with hundreds of articles that you
can browse, pick up and publish for free.
Free article content and syndicated article content is
pretty much the same thing. The main difference is that
syndicated article content is published or delivered
either through the use of a service or a script feed. Free
article content is usually hosted on the author’s site with
his or her expressed permission for you to use it.
A few general rules to consider in your quest for
quick-and-easy newsletter content:
1) Look for content that fits well with the theme of your
newsletter.
2) Answer this question for yourself… “Is this
information of any value to my subscribers?”
3) How can I potentially benefit by using this article?
And, yes, I am referring to money.
Points 1 and 2 above are obviously important considerations,
and I don’t really need to dwell on them.
Point 3 is equally important.
Authors who provide free articles for your use will always
require that you include their “resource box” at the end of
the article. This is right and proper since the author
deserves to be recognized and it’s their copyrighted
material.
Are you asking yourself this question:
“If the article isn’t mine, and the resource box isn’t
mine, how in the world am I going to take this 5-minute
newsletter and turn it into income?!”
Good question. Read on.
An important key to monetizing the fre article content
that you’re borrowing from someone else is to seek out
authors who will allow you to use an affiliate link to
their products or services within the resource box. The
resource box is usually four or five lines that lead you to
the author’s site.
If the author will allow you to sign up for his or her
affiliate program and use your affiliate link in the resource
box, you now have the opportunity to earn some income for
anyone who clicks through that link and purchases a product
from the author’s site.
Alrighty then! It’s a great combo isn’t it? You don’t have
to agonize over copywriting. You can publish your ezine in
about 5 minutes. You can send it to your millions of
subscribers with one simple click of a button. AND you can
profit in the process.
