The Dilemna: Writing Your Own Content Vs Outsourcing

I just went through one of the busiest weeks of my life. I have a couple of niche sites that I’ve just launched and I’m trying to rank on Google. My plan is to get them to page one in 2 months. I know it’s going to be a challenge for such a short time frame but I like such challenges. They keep me motivated and make sure I don’t waste any valuable time. After all, “time is money.” Okay, a bit cliché I admit. :)

My plan for monetization is of course promoting affiliate products. I’m not going to go for Adsense because I realized (with a bit of help) that it actually distracts readers and sends traffic to competitors for only cents. So that’s a big NO to Adsense for now.

Trademarking Your Blog…. Should you do it?

Less than a month ago, I was reading one of my favourite blogs (Smart Passive Income) and I read a post that I felt I really related to (well not entirely but I’ll explain that soon.)

I was reading Pat Flynn’s May 2012 monthly income report (always amazing) and within his post he said that Smart Passive Income had officially become a registered trademark.

Besides his openness and incredible profit making talent, this made me gain even more respect for him. This move simply showed he was super serious about his blog and what he was doing and wanted to take it to the next level.

How to REALLY Create Content That Connects With Readers, Prospects and Customers

One of the main problems with bloggers and other online business owners is that they struggle to produce the type of content that connects with and engages their audience.

This causes a chain reaction that in the end affects their relationships, revenue and possibilities for growth.

This doesn’t only affect first time bloggers. Believe me even the greats have days where they simply have nothing to write and are completely stumped.

Surprisingly, for some reason some people seem to be immune to writer’s block and blank screen syndrome. They keep pumping post after post of amazing content and you keep scratching your head and biting your nails wondering what their secrets are.

Well they don’t actually have any secrets. They just know things you don’t know that you don’t know (if that made any sense) and you can’t be blamed for that.

Now enough talking, let’s get down to business.

Using Bugatti Tactics To Build An Audience

Since I started blogging and link building a few months ago, I noticed that the way I used the internet has drastically changed. I used to be content with just checking my mail, news and playing a few games online. Then I became obsessed with SEO,SERPs and pagerank. Every time I visited a site, I started to check its Pagerank and Alexa Rank.

Then Recently, I watched a documentary on Bugatti and I started to see a link between the ways they did business and how most successful bloggers do theirs. So I decided to put my thoughts on paper and it soon evolved into this entire post.
