Outsourcing

Why Outsource your Articles? Outsourcing articles is relatively cheap an easy and will allow you to get a lot of content for your website without investing much time and effort. When I began affiliate marketing I was not too great at writing articles and I’m still not very good at it today. If you’re like me and find it hard to put one sentence together let alone 500 words for one article then I highly recommend outsourcing your articles.

Another reason is that many people don’t have the time to write a dozen articles a week because they might still be working their regular 9 to 5 job while trying to start creating cash flow online and/ or have other family commitments. I know of many people who have given up on affiliate marketing because they have disliked writing articles and didn’t want to risk trying PPC. But the great news is you don’t have to, you could have a part time job instead that gives you the money you need to outsource.

Why would you want a lot of content on your site? The more pages and content on your site the better your site looks for the search engines and can greatly help your chances of getting on page 1 of google for specific keywords.

The easiest way I know how to outsource is to sign up to Elance.com which only costs you a tiny fee (maybe $10 ???) and the reason for this is so Elance can make sure you are serious about offering jobs out to others, which prevents people mucking up the whole system which is a good thing.

Once you are signed up at Elance just click on “post your job” then write in your job title, then select the category “Writing and Translation – Ghostwriting or Article Writing”. In the job description write something similar to this if you’re not sure:

I have 10 article titles that need unique quality articles of about 500 to 600 words each written about them.

Examples include:  (About 5 examples)

I will be checking closely for duplicate content, so do not plagiarize your work. Please attach at least 2 samples of your work with your application. Please also give an accurate estimate of when this project will be completed by.

Once you’ve have finished writing the description click the “article writing” under Desired Skills. Set the project fee as fixed and between 50 – 500 bucks.

You can then submit your job, and you can invite people to do your job and you’ll get some proposals over the next couple of days. Try to give the job to someone offering roughly $10 - $12 per 500 word article. Preferably someone from a country who speaks English (If your articles are going to be written in English) or someone who has proved they are good at English by looking at their sample jobs. Also in general, people with experience in the topic will write better articles than people new to subject, keep that in mind.
