Edition #59 – 6/14/2006
Are you tired of competing with other marketers for search engine rankings because you’re using duplicate content?
Are you tired of being delisted by the search engines for using auto-generated content?
Here’s your solution, and it might sound old-fashioned…
You need to write it yourself, or have someone write it for you. It’s easier said than done, right?
Not anymore.
In the past, the easiest places to find article writers have been outsourcing centers such as Elance and RentACoder. On those sites, you basically post a project stating exactly what you need done, and then freelancers come and bid on your project, based on the price at which they’re willing to do the work.
This works fairly well, but it can also be somewhat time-consuming to figure out which writers to choose, and then communicate with them, etc.
My friend Scott came up with the perfect solution for this problem. You probably haven’t heard of this, because I’m the first person to promote it other than an announcement he made to his own list.
He created a website with the specific purpose of providing marketers with unique articles written ON DEMAND. Instead of posting your project on a freelance site, and hoping that the writers understand what you’re looking for, you can go to a site where the writers already know exactly what you need.
You simply tell them the topic and keywords, and they write the article.
How soon will you get your articles? Amazingly, they strive for a one-day turnaround! Now you won’t find that kind of service on an outsourcing site either. On Elance or RentACoder it usually takes at least a few days just to choose a bidder.
How much does it cost? Scott is charging a small fee to be a member of the program. After that, you can have articles written for you “on demand” for only $5 each. I have to tell you, that’s a heck of a deal! $5 is about the cheapest you’d find on any outsourcing site (unless you want to seriously sacrifice quality), and this lets you get $5 articles without having to go through the hassle of finding the authors on an outsourcing site, teaching them what you need, etc.
Beyond creating unique content for your websites, you can also syndicate these articles to gain back links (which can mean better rankings and more traffic). Since you’re paying to have them ghostwritten, you can put your own name on these articles, or a trade name (like Mr. X). You can then submit them to the free article directories, which will cause them to be distributed throughout the web.
So in a nutshell, you’re able to get unique content which you can use to fill a niche website, or to gain publicity and back links throughout the web.

By the way, if you’ve never outsourced anything… it’s about time. To be honest, I’ve only recently begun outsourcing and it’s already making a huge impact on my business. As one person doing all the work, there are absolute limits on how much you can accomplish. But by leveraging others, you can scale your business, and grow it exponentially.
But that’s an entire lesson for another day, so I’ll save it for a future edition of Eric’s Tips.
As always, you can leave your comments here in the blog.
Have a great day!

Great tips…
Something to really consider when you are busy one person show.. like myself..
Hassan- I’d love to help you, but don’t have time to work 1-on-1 with anyone currently. But that’s why I’ve got these tips. Keep reading my tips and learning as much as you can. You’ll make it!
Alyse- Absolutely… I really need to talk more about the outsourcing issue soon, because its something I’m still learning about and dealing with right now at this very time.
Good Morning Eric! Thanks for the information on the Articles on Demand, sounds like a Great Service. I too am a one women show so I do understand the demands of wanting good content quickly. The turn around time is very impressive, “I will pass the info on!
Cheers and God Bless
Hi Eric,
I was just wondering, have you tried this service personally?
Razzzzz
Razzzzz – Yes I have… actually I was using this service before it became a service. Me and Scott have been using these writers for awhile now. Scott came up with the idea of making it a membership site. A ton of you are joining, so I’m going to recruit some more writers from my WrtitingCash list, which has a lot of real writers on it.

Hey Eric,
That looks good. It takes a lot of time coming up with a great content, especially on topics that you might not be an expert in. Leveraging is something that everyone should consider. Though I don’t mind writing my own content, I find it very difficult writing press releases. Do they write press release articles as well? That would be an added service if they do and would help a lot of us newbies a great deal and I’ll join in a heart beat.
Cheers my man….
Hi Eric,
It’s Juzaily again. Just finished re-reading the sales page again. They will be adding press releases too. Sorry, I missed that part when I read it the first time.
Cheers again.
Great information, Eric. Thanks – I’ll check it out and then I expect to be using the service.
All the best,
Alan
Dear Eric,
You are doing helluva job.
Keep it up.
Warmest regards
I agree great job with the lessons almost to 100 🙁 and great review here I like that site, heheh ok disclaimer here I’m one of Scott Foster’s sons, I help manage the marketing & conversions at NAA, we are still alive and kicking staying above water but if the economy/Gov gets the best of us I could always apply what I have learned here on EricsTips almost immediately to something else, thanks again Eric and Team.
