I don’t outsource any writing at the moment. I just write to my blog and email list and create products for my customers. However if I was to maintain any other blogs I would outsource content production as I did with SBB, although I’d prefer to find volunteers looking for exposure, which would mean I would have to have a site with some exposure already.

Good article post. I’m planning to outsourcing my site. But there are many questions in my mind. I hope you could help me.

How to get the author to do outsourcing?

How much do I have to spend on outsourcing (a month) for each author?

As you said on your post, on SBB you allow your author to monetize their post. How do you arrange it? Do you build your site using wordpress right?

Do you outsource for all your site?

Thank you

I am very interested in outsourcing blog content, as it will fit nicely in my course I am creating on the same topic.

Where did you have to go to get the original writers you brought in? Was it an outsourcing writers source or people already on your inhouse list.

I agree that with monetizing the content, some of the writers will get way more benefits than just some money in the bank.

Good ideas and I like what I see.

This is very helpful. I’m in the process of using a similar strategy as David and plan to share with the MasterMind group as soon as my model is up and running.

The process of outsourcing doesn’t change if you are beginner or advanced, it’s simply a matter of bringing on the right staff.

There is an audio coming to Blog Mastermind about how David Krug launched a new blog with a team of six authors from day one. However he paid $2000 a month in blogger fees, so it was no small investment!

I liked reading about it hear as well as listening to it via the Blog Mastermind podcasts in your course.

The one thing I’d be curious to get to see a written article on is something that might be titled “How a to Launch a New Blog and Outsource all Your Content for Free.” (if there were viable way to do that).

Your system is great for blogs with established readerships. Just looking for something for something that might work for the beginner blogger.

I’d also like to point out that they have no problem with barter and yet they refuse to recognize the value of the traffic that your writer’s get in exchange for selling you their articles.

Getting warmer in Toronto yet?

I think the real value of these authorships may be what’s misunderstood. The actual cash value may not be that great, but the exposure could easily be worth thousands of dollars a month — not to mention all the residual value as those pages get hit over and over and over again as time goes by.

Good writers like Cyndy would see the readership of their own blogs skyrocket from just one or two months of writing (10 articles) on SBB (provided, obviously, that the blogs were related). Yes, you can do the hard, hard work of growing your readership organically, but it’s easier to just throw some gas on the fire and throw a match in.

I know that the blog itself doesn’t make a lot of money, so I understand Yaro’s position. I’m grateful writing for an established and professional website as the benefits I’ve obtained are far more useful than money.

Even so, surely it must possible to contribute to a blog without being labeled ‘a rape victim’… Right?

The hard part really is finding the people to help you. You say you got them flooding in, but when your site is only semi-popular, its tough finding bloggers who have the energy to write.

But Im glad you’ve made it and well done to the team for a great content site.

I’ve learnt that dealing with comments you might not agree with or strong language, you have to avoid hitting back with strong emotional language otherwise a flame war ensues and everyone just feels angry and frustrated – it like shouting at each other across the blogosphere .

It’s very nice that you respect Cyndy’s opinion. I, however, have a hard time respecting it. It’s not that I don’t sympathize a little with her situation. It’s just that her opinion is based upon a view of the world that’s out of touch with reality.

What I know about you is that you’re a good guy, and taking advantage of someone is the last thing you’d ever want to do. And I was happy to see you defend yourself in the comments of her post.

Thanks for the pointer Blaine.

She has a much different point of view to my own, but I can see how she considers me as taking advantage of people by not paying cash money for blogging.
