Outside of tools, remember the key to writing good copy is creating something useful that fills the gap or satisfies the reason why the user searched. Useful, helpful content that meets the searchers need first. if you’re not a writer and are in need of content on your site, here is a great free place to go.

You can find content through Yahoo!’s Creative Commons search that you can use for commercial purposes, and you can also find content that you can modify, adapt, and build upon depending on the license.
