Content Creation

12 comments

Once you have found some buying keywords you now have to create some content to build your  passive income business?.

Content creation – seems to be a stumbling block for many people. Personally, I found understand buying keywords to be much more difficult and I can write stuff for ever and a day! But even though I make money as a freelance writer for hire I can’t keep up with writing all my content for my sites.

So I have a couple of short cuts which I use and I have found it useful to categorise my content into best/average/poor – I work it like this

My Best Content

I write it myself, pretty much to the same level as the stuff I am paid for to write for other people, sometimes with a bit less proof reading :-)

I write at this level for my “flagship” blogs which have my name on and which I use to get my name out there.  If you see something on the web written by “lissie” or “Lis Sowerbutts” I probably wrote it – I don’t use ghost writers for sites with my name on it.

One of the few “tricks” which I have found really works for me is using this course to write and research quickly and turn 1 article into 8! – Its not software – its just a different way of writing and yes you really do get unique content out of it!

My Average Content

  1. My first investment for a paid tool was Frank Carr’s Link Luv Post Builder. Frank is a programmer not a marketer so he prices his products low but doesn’t pay affiliates  that’s why this nifty little program is only $27 – and he didn’t pay me to say that! The tool basically will take your keywords and return a list of posts/websites which mention the terms. I use the tool sometimes to get ideas for my paid blogging gigs – in which case I rewrite the excerpts returned entirely and it comes out at my “Best Content” level above. Alternatively you can use for quick and dirty posts when you are in a hurry to some content up.
  2. I rewrite PLR content which I get from either  Private Label Chest which is excellent but relatively expensive or the cheaper Niche Blogging Network which gives you 25 articles a month for each of 10 niches for $29.95/month
  3. I purchase content from writers who are cheaper than me.

My Poor Content

Yes some of my content is designed more for the machine to read than humans – shock, horror! Get over it – I don’t put my name on it – but if it makes me money and hurts no-one, and kills no trees I don’t really care :-)

I found the best way to create almost useful content is another program from Frank Carr – called Blog Content Wizard – this nifty little tool creates long rambling posts, based around your keywords, for $47.  In fact some of the stuff is not any worse than stuff I have seem humans post!  If you tidy it reads quite well – late at night :-) BTW Frank offers a money back guarantee on his products – so try them for no risk for 30 days.

Carry on reading about how to get backinks

I’ve just bought Frank’s Blog Content Wizard last night and I can say it also has a high entertainment value: I couldn’t believe my eyes at some phrases it spit out several times.

It is useful, as with a little bit of “tuning”, the articles looked like written by some stupid humans. As you said, I don’t put my name on that, so I’m happy to see that I can do the same quantity of words in less than half the time I needed until buying this software.

Yes it really its a bit scary really – like the stuff you get some of the poorer newspapers! Running it through a grammar checker works quite well to tidy it up to

At this point I write all of my content myself, but as I grow my passive income streams, I may spend some of my earnings on paid content from good freelance writers. To be honest, I don’t see myself compromising on quality, so my sites, blogs and articles will all be written by humans … though I can see the temptation of software!

To be honest some of my niche topics don’t interest me at all so I pay other writers to do those, its genuinely frightening how little you can pay and get pretty acceptable quality! cyberquest.com is currently offering 0.004c/word – and their content is good http://www.cyberhubonline.com

I’ve seen their reputation being tattered on several forums. It seems that they are accepting more work than they can process. Orders that they have taken as long back as in March 2009, have not yet been processed. :(

Yes I agree – I cancelled some orders with them – at least they were fairly fast giving my money back. I am now using textbrokers.com – more expensive (1c/word) – but a lot faster and good quality in general for the price

Lissie I have a funny question:

what does PLR stand for, as in PLR content?

Reply

Lis July 13, 2009 at 3:46 pm

PLR = Private Label Rights – its basically articles that you buy which you can use as your own but are sold to many different people so they are not unique on the web.

Amazing information. I have never seen such a step by step details. Now on your website how do you monetize them, by adsense or by affiliate programs?

thanks,

Sid

It varies – I don’t want all income dependent on one affiliate or Adsense!
