15 months ago I wrote about 2 free tools that I was using as an alternative to outsourcing link building. Since then I have upgraded both to premium accounts and continue to use them on a regular basis You can read that article at: A Free Alternative To Outsourcing Running an IM related forum means that I spend lots of time testing tools and products many of them aren't worth recommending so after a month or two I stop using them or cancel my subscription. There are usually several reasons I don't stick with them. 1. They just don't … [Read more...]
Outsourcing – It Really Can Work!
March 31, 2011 By 3 Comments
I love it when my members go and prove to me what an idiot I've been! I am sure by now that everyone knows that you can increase your income by using outsourcers. It doesn't matter if you are only earning $100 a month If you put aside $20 for outsourcing that can help to double or treble your income. The problem is if you don't do it right you can give yourself more problems than you solve. Back in August 2009 I did a month long outsourcing experiment that turned out to be quite sucessful for me.(I'll add links for the 5 posts documenting it at the end of this post) the problem was … [Read more...]
Back Linking – Over Hyped or a Necessity
September 15, 2009 By 3 Comments
The outsourcing experiment I am currently running originally started out as a test of how effective back linking is. After 6 weeks I am finally getting a grasp on some of the intricacies involved in back linking. First I suppose I had better let you know what my views on back linking were before I started. I believed that all the talk about the power of back links was over rated and just something that SEO guys kept on promoting as they know normal people like us just can't be bothered to do on a regular basis. I can pretty much generate all the traffic I want by choosing the right … [Read more...]
Outsourcing Experiment Part V
September 7, 2009 By Leave a Comment
The Outsourcing Project has been running a month and it's now time to get rid of the providers who haven't performed well and who aren't pulling their weight. This can be difficult for some people to do but if you want to earn money then you have to get an efficient team in place. My criteria for keeping people on is that their rate is reasonable and that they complete the tasks allotted within a reasonable time. People do have problems so as long as they tell me that work will be late I am prepared to overlook it a few times. I have found that the best way of getting a good team … [Read more...]
Outsourcing Experiment Part IV
August 26, 2009 By 2 Comments
Time for another update in the outsourcing experiment. I've decided to keep the exercise going for another month as there are some interesting results coming in and it will take a few weeks to properly work out what they mean. There has been one development that has made the experiment so far very worth while. I've had to go through my server and create a list of all my sites and then see how they are performing. I am not the most organized person in the world and some sites that don't perform well in the first few weeks tend to get abandoned or fall through the cracks. Because I need to … [Read more...]
Outsourcing Experiment Part III
August 20, 2009 By 3 Comments
The outsourcing experiment is well under way and the workers have been paid for the first week. Everything went well and all the work was done as requested obviously some workers are quicker than others. After 2 or 3 weeks I’ll end some of the assignments and keep the people who are doing the best work. The costs for the first week were $156 and for that I had 72 hours work done for me. In those 72 hours there were 20 articles posted to 25 sites each giving 500 back links. There were 3 links for 4 different sites posted to 150 high PR sites. So a total of 1800 links. 2300 potential … [Read more...]
