Easy Stay At Home Jobs

I hate writing. I love making websites and laying them all out in Dreamweaver and Firefox and doing the pretty graphics but putting content on them for me downright sucks.

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’ve seen a lot of news and the Google Panda algorithm update but I tend to ignore such things and just do what I do. I like to think that I try hard with my websites and do my best to make them appealing to the visitor. I’m learning as I go without any real design training so I don’t know how well I’m doing but I think I’m getting the hang of it.

Anyway, from what I’ve heard Google have added a few things to their algorithm that may affect how worthy our sites are for the top positions. One of the updates that I like the best is how fast does the user click the back button. I think this is brilliant. I’m always checking out the competition and some of the websites in a couple of my niches are woeful.

I hear all the time that content is king but if someone is looking for pink slippers then why would the searcher want to troll through a badly written and boring 400 word essay all about pink slippers. There’s not much to say about them really and even if it was well written I can still guarantee that it would be as boring as bat poo. People don’t want an education on this stuff, they want to buy it so give ‘em what they want. I reckon this algo change is one for the better and should weed out a few of the lazier Internet Marketers looking for a quick adsense dollar or two.

Another algorithm change is the time on site statistic. Apparently Google is using this to judge the quality of a website as well. It stands to reason that if a visitor spends a bit of time on your site then they like what they see and want to see more of it. This is also a good thing.

This brings me to The Keyword Academy and why I will be staying on as a member. The Keyword academy were originally about a site being just good enough rather than top quality and getting it to rank with backlinks. Lots of good backlinks can make even the crappiest of websites rank or at least it used to.

But rather than keep on with the old system (which worked and probably still will for a while) that fills the Internet with mediocre content and given the Google Panda update The Keyword Academy has decided to re-brand itself as teachers of quality rather than quantity. It’s now TKA 2.0 and the system has been modified to teach people to make the Internet a nicer place to visit.

It’s all about writing for the searcher rather than writing for Google. This new way of doing things is an excellent transition and should go a long way to ensuring our business can stand the test of time. Things like writing about stuff we’re interested in, becoming an authority in your niche and making an attractive well laid out website all are now playing a bigger role in the grand scheme of things.

One day we may not have to traul through reams of rubbish to find the perfect pink slippers and I’m looking forward to it.
