Getting more content on your web site is a great way to get more traffic to your web site. The search engines love it and it gives people a reason to visit again and again. You can also use the content or articles to steer people to some of your products or services.

The tough question is always, how do you get content if you aren’t a writer?

Well, I just got an interesting “request for quote” from my web site yesterday. an attorney contacted me wanting to know if I would be willing to swap writing articles for his web site in exchange for him creating a will for me.

I simply tell him how many hours it would take for me to write the article and he’d tell me how many hours it would take to create the will. Simple swap.

If you have a service or product that you could swap for writing content, don’t hesitate to contact writers. You never know how many of them would be willing to “do a deal.”
