Never crossed my mind to go thru this kind of method. It opens up my eyes of the other possibilities.

OK if I go hiring writers, what are your experiences? Where to find? Local or overseas writer? How much do you charge per article? Is the article become our copyrighted material? I guess we have to tell them on the SEO stuff that must be input inside the article like keywords, density etc.

I have come accross free article directories like articlecity.com. What is the difference between paid directories like isnare.com? What are the advantages it gives?

JAWA, what software are u using? articleannouncer?

check out in google for "ghostwriter" or you can go to elance.com or rentcoder.com.

you can get as cheap as $usd 5.00 per article depend of the quality, maybe higher. or you can join any plr article membership like articlelightning.com and so on.

article belong to you and make sure your article is not copycat from others. try copyscape.com to check.

articlecity is article directory where you can submit your article same like isnare.com. But isnare also provide article submission service where you can pay them $10.00 and let them submit your article to major article directorie.

i'm using articlesubmitterpro.com right now, is more cheaper than article announcer.

and another thing, article is a great method to bring traffic to your site and make money as soon as possible.

i had a website that I built 2 weeks ago promoting bar stool. I submit one article about bar stool to all major article directories, and last night I got email from merchant that my site has made a sale of USD 158.00. And I got USD 28.00 commission from that sale.

Only 2 weeks my site is alive, even search engine do not index that site yet, I'm already making some money.

Great stuff Jawa! I am really going to have serious thinking time on this.

Both programs you mentioned are very enticing and I feel like whipping out my credit card and buy them.

People have been talking bout the importance of content in website but most 'young' or neew webmasters will only go where they can generate fast money and ignore the importance of quality. Myself included. I think its an evolution that we have to go through. After 1 or 2 years of building websites then will u realise the importance of ur website visitors. How to appreciate them and know what they want and needs. And the correct way to get traffic and thinking on the long term basis. Know how not to put all your eggs in a basket like depending solely on adsense and diversify to affiliate programs. By the way congrats Jawa for the sale!

Guess I have to get back to the old drawing board for ideas.
1. For $67 ($47 now they having a discount) a month I can subscribe to articlelightning and get 250 articles in 10 different niche.

2. Buy 10 .info domains for $1.99 each. =$19.90. I have a reseller's acct so I'll use that.

3. Buy subscription to isnare.com of $38 for 28 articles submission. The rest of the articles send to free article directories.

4. Future plan to buy articlesubmitter.

4. Total damage =$104.90.

Not bad eh? What do you guys think of my plan? any comments or suggestions?

$100 is not enough to buy the good tool.
Why not use it for domain and hosting?

Forget about articlelightening. Unless your articles are unique and well written they will be worthless.

Spend the money on asking someone to write quality articles for you, personally, and have the fully copyright in your hands.

is ok to join any article membership site. what you need to do is to rewrite it back and make it different from others. eventhough 1000 people join those article membership site, only 5% or less take action and using those article.

I not worry about that. same like member in this forum. everybody asking how to get traffic, how to make revenue from website, how to bla bla. They read all internet marketing articles, they know about seo,copywriting and so on. But the truth is nobody apply those knowledge when building their website.

Why not they take action now and apply all knowledge and concentrate on it until your website is successful and bring enough revenue to you consistently every month. Than you build another site and another...

Don't waste your time browsing, reading all internet marketing articles, but in the end you don't have any site that bring money to you consistently. I repeat "consistently".

You must act now. Close your computer. Take a paper and make a plan now.

i guess articlelightning is ok since you can edit and make it yours. I really hate to go through the process of searching for writers, biding for price, checking and re-checking, going back and forth like that, do you? With ready articles I can go on straight to building websites. Vince where do you get your writers?

Some of my .info websites are doing quite well in google. So I really dont mind buying them. Cheaper.

Which affiliate program is this? Is it something like CJ?
Hope you don't mind me asking.

A great resource are students studying the topic you want to write about. They key is always to find a writer who finds the subject interesting. It doesn't matter if you are paying $10US an article or $100US - you won't get good reliable work from your writers if you don't make it and keep it interesting.

Instead of spending endless money to so-call the writer, why not get a "article rewrite tool"?

I've tried articlebot but the results are rubbish! Cant even get a sentence right. Any other software that u know of wawasan?

A rewrite tool in my opinion is a good tool since u can make one article to become 5 to 10 different articles. But I think this is more into the "grey hat" area where the owner doesnt mind rewriting and posting the same articles for the purpose of increasing their page count. More pages with adsense/affiliate link = more money to you.

AB is just a software tool, the result all depend on the user.

Depend on your strategies, you can use the contents at difference places to get the best effect.

Try google to get the tool.

As with everything else in life, act honestly and do nothing underhand, and you will become strong in the long run. Don't chase $10 now, chase $1000 to come.
