Wow John, it just hit me, how stupid I am!

I mean, I know article marketing works, I submit 5-10 articles a month and they drive traffic…

I also know that outsourcing is the way to go….

Then why the h… do I still spend hour after hour writing these articles and submitting them + bookmarking, when it only cost $7 to have someone do it for me?

Well no more…. I will go to Warrior Forum or Elance today and start getting my life back!

Thanks a lot John for opening my eyes

Hi John,

Really great post today. After reading I’m seriously considering automating my article writing and submission. I just have a question. Do you use the same ghostwriter for all your articles? I don’t mind paying for articles to be written but I’ve heard that the quality of ghostwriters can vary quite significantly? Any recommendations for finding a good ghostwriter?

Hey Johnny
Another great post. And I totally agree about time management. I can spend a whole day scanning blogs and reading articles e.c.t. and at the end of it, nothing was done & I can’t even remember which pages I visted half the time. Something YOU once said I still do to this day is, The good old piece of A4 beside you for jotting down your daily plan. Mind you they are starting to pile up. lol.
I just can’t seem to throw them out. I’m thinking of puttin them into a big binder one day for easy access. One day. I think I’ll jot that one down. lol
Take care Big Fella

John, I don’t know whether you knew but one of your very own Members has been hiding her light under a bushel and been quietly working away as a ghost-writer – she’s amazing. If anyone wants to try her out, her name is Pat Graham and her work is excellent – attention to detail, grammar, spelling, you can’t fault her — and her prices are fantastic too. Just wanted to give her a plug to help our a fellow Member – her name is Pat Graham and she can be contacted here ghost-writer@charter.net (she is in the process of setting up her own site, but has been too busy 😉 )

Thanks John, good stuff. In terms of staying focused, I’ve found that if I don’t start my work *before* hitting a forum or before checking my e-mail, then I simply don’t get as much done…

Hi, John and everyone! I seem to be in the wrong time zone to get read before John sums it all up.

I was trying to tell a friend how to submit articles to get traffic to his auction site and discovered he could barely write a coherent line. Nice guy, no basic writing skills. I told him I would edit whatever he wrote for distribution and he offered to pay me!

I basically just want to do this friend a favor but it shows that there is a market out there for ghostwriting. Another friend asked me to build him a website and paid me $500. to do it. Both of these services might be income streams for people with the time and ability to do it. These days building a website doesn’t necessarily mean having coding skills.

I usually cut and paste bits of code for my auction pages and have learned just enough html code to work miracles with the way they look. I think a well planned, attractive sales page or auction page makes you look more professional.

I have also used my experience running my niche blog site to help some else begin their new blog, and this has been rewarding, too.

My blog has eighteen authors who are filmmakers, authors of books, one is a professional actor in Canada and one is a film historian who appears regularly on TCM featurettes for DVD release. We have 228 articles posted as of today and 104 comments. The site is tied closely to a Yahoo group dedicated to the same niche that has over 1000 members. If you are considering a blog of your own, it wouldn’t hurt to join a few Yahoo groups that are interested in what you might do on a blog with their niche subject.

Thanks for another look behind the curtain and Sara, you are a hoot!

David~
