I don’t mind writing an original article here or there if it’s something I’m interested in but when it comes to getting back links with re-writes on the same topic over and over I can’t stand it.  I’m starting to make a  bit of money now so that’s why I’ve decided to outsource a lot of my writing to someone else who probably needs the money more than I do. I figure if I can get to making $300 or $400 dollars a month with the teeny tiny bit of writing I’ve actually managed to do myself this year then I can get even further by outsourcing my writing while I do all the fun stuff.

I’ve decided on a fellow Keyword Academy members project over at The Content Authority for all my writing and so far I’m pretty happy with what they put out.  There are various levels you can purchase for the quality of articles that you need. A basic article at 300 words will cost you $3.00 and from there you go up to good and then excellent. There’s another level above that when you might require in depth research which I think is 5 cents a word which can start to get pretty pricey.

So far I’ve used good quality which gave me fairly decent articles that I just had to touch up and the excellent quality at 2 cents a word. I didn’t have to do anything to this article so that was pretty good. Re-writes are cheaper at about 1 cent a word but I have had to modify a couple of those as some of the sentences were a bit rough. Still quicker and easier than writing them myself though. It usually takes me an hour or two to write a decent 400 word article because of the interruptions from the kids so this service is actually allowing me to get things done to my websites that I normally wouldn’t be able to do.

I’ve also just bought Tiffany Dow’s PLR ATM (big fat affiliate link) course and I enjoyed a bit of that yesterday. She assumes the buyer knows nothing about Internet Marketing and shows you step by step everything you need to do in all the interfaces you come across when setting up your own PLR store. She takes through buying a domain, setting up wordpress, using the warrior forum, how to promote your store and your PLR and how to set up a shopping cart on your blog once you have one. I knew a lot of it but it was only 20 bucks and she has a bonus list of PLR requests from all of her customers which should get me started.

The reason I bought the course is so I can learn how to set up and promote a PLR store and get The Content Authority to write all of my material. I’ll probably need to find a writer I like and stick with them so it all has the same feel to it. All in all I’ve been pretty busy. Someone else is writing my stuff while I pretty my sites up as per the new TKA 2.0 guidelines which makes me feel like I’m making some real progress this year.

I have to admit I do find it irritating to search for something only to find pages and pages of badly written articles that have strategically placed ads and no real information. Being a jaded internet marketer I know what’s up with these types of pages and I know that the folks who create them have no real intention of making the internet a better place.

So my advice is the same as Tracey’s which is don’t be like everyone else. Create good information and give the searcher some real info on where to go to get what their looking for. I’m not sure if Google’s algo can detect that but I know that they have human reviewers whose job it is to find crappy sites and deal with them. I for one will be taking some of her sage advice and implementing her ideas on my websites time permitting. At the very least it will make them more palatable to a human eye if not to Google’s algorithm which can only be a good thing.

Take  the one I bought a couple of weeks ago about publishing on Kindle. I’ve always wanted to get in on the Kindle publishing gig but wasn’t able to because I’m in Australia.

When I finally got around to watching the quick and dirty videos I got a sudden burst of enthusiasm because it mentioned that it was now international. So off I went to get some PLR from one of my favorite PLR authors, Tiffany Dow’s PLR Mini Mart. Put it all together in word doc format and whacked it up on Kindle.

End result is I now have a book for sale on Kindle of which I get 70% of the green for any sales. That is cool. Haven’t sold any yet but I chose a seasonal topic well in advance of the season it’s targeting so don’t expect any for a while yet.

Doesn’t matter as I’ve got 5 more books in the works. Just have to knock up some original looking graphics and I’m good to go.  There’s no limit to how many books you can publish and it’s so easy.

You could probably figure it all out yourself but the videos will save you a bit of time in the setup process.
