Buying content for your blog exploded with growth in the last few years. You can buy pretty much anything including recipes, crafts, articles, DIY, printables and more. I personally like to buy printables because it saves me so much time. They take me forever to make myself and they are usually affordable. The question is: where to buy content for your blog?
Quality and price varies greatly. I don’t like semi-exclusive content personally, but it’s still quite popular. Typically, bloggers share a recipe with different photos and then can make the post their own. It’s always cheaper so I think that is part of the draw.
Is buying content worth it? It depends. Sometimes you can find yourself with a viral post that pays for itself ten times over. Other times, pageviews are minimal and you are left with a dud. Check out our formula to figure out if something you bought was worth it or not.
Good content isn’t always easy to find. I’m a member of lots of content groups, but typically don’t buy anything. I mainly am in them for the printables when they are offered and even then, I’m really picky. However, I see blogs buying content all the time so stuff is selling like hotcakes.
