The Next Step: Outsourcing

I’ve journeyed into the world of outsourcing this week. I’m looking for people to write keyword focused articles for my new adsense sites. I’m curious to see how it turns out and look forward to getting a couple contracts behind me and feel confident and clear about outsourcing. I found one writer through the Keyword Avalanche forum, another through guru.com. I expect that more will respond to my project on guru.com. There will be plenty of work to spread around and I’ll find some writers to work with over the long haul. I’m glad to be moving in this direction.

Actually, as I think about doing adsense sites, it sounds pretty archaic. However, I’ll trust that adsense isn’t dead and I am learning some skills that will be very valuable in internet marketing. Keyword research and outsourcing are good examples of this. Another focus of the adsense coaching I am involved in is creating a CPA network. This is something that is really taking hold in the internet marketing world and I know little about it. My plan with the adsense sites is to earn some decent money by learning from someone who has done it a whole bunch of times, learn to put it on autopilot, and then branch out with my new skills and experience.

I have also begun to delve into understanding Web2.0, which seems to be the umbrella name for social bookmarking and social networking. That is a HUGE arena and I’m getting my feet wet. This is my bedtime reading for right now, and adsense is my day job.

That’s enough for now. Thanks for visiting.

Social Bookmarking Continued

Just finished watching “Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” on TNT. What a great movie!

Trying out something new again behind the scenes with this blog post tonight. I’m curious to see how it turns out. It has to do with social bookmarking. I am catching on after all.

This might sound really dumb, but I had a revelation last night about the difference between social bookmarking and social networking. I was actually lumping them together as the same thing. No way!

Social bookmarking is about tagging websites that we like and sharing these favorites on any number of sites created for this purpose.

Social networking is about joining communities and building blogs or sites and sharing these with a network of friends that we build. I know, I know, very simplistic and they’re a bunch more complicated than that, but it’s a start.

If you haven’t gone to visit the Boy Million page, take a minute now. It’s pretty cool.

That’s it for now.
