Free Content is ready made content that can be used on any website for the purposes of promoting your website. It can be anything that can be placed on a website, such as documents, pictures, animations, templates, and just about anything else you can think of. The catch is that it is, by definition, FREE! It wouldn’t be “free” if the promoter tried to sell it. Besides, that’s the whole point in submitting “Free Content”. To get the message out to as many people as possible without the slow progress of sales. Most people on the internet look for the cheapest way to advertise. There is no cheaper way to advertise than by “free advertising”.

Articles containing “Free Content” can be used to promote, without actually going out and announcing the fact, the writer’s own websites. Of course, you don’t want to write a whole article that sounds like an ad. Besides, most article promoting websites won’t accept those types of “articles” in their listings. Instead, submit articles that give some type of information or helpful hint about something. This gives viewers something to latch onto in terms of relating with the authors.

Articles allow viewers to get a taste of the type of websites the authors actually have. In many ways, this actually does the advertising for you. When you submit articles that contain Free Content, the people viewing the article will get an idea of just what you and your website have to offer them; in effect, you are actually “luring” prospective viewers to your site in this manner.

There are special kinds of websites called “Free Article Directories” that contain many different types of articles on countless subjects usually for the purpose of giving the authors widespread exposure to the populace. These Article Directories basically give authors the freedom to post their articles on a site and even send the same articles to many different websites (including other Directories). It also allows them to reprint other articles on their own website. In effect, these directories give authors access to each other in addition to their target audiences.
