That problem can be mitigated if the writer doesn't have any idea where/why his/her content is being used. If you directly contact a freelancer through outsourcing sites sooner or later that writer is going to find out that he can ask for more amount since the people are ready to pay for good content. But if they are indirectly managed then they may never find out why they are being paid for re-writing a content which is already available on internet. Believe me - lots of people still don't have any idea about making money online. @Jez. $400 a month(In fact I can get you dedicated good writers for $200) for a decent writer is definitely possible but as you said they will soon be poached away with higher offers.

If you don't have the right niche/keyword no amount of outsourcing is going to help. I can see the value though of finding those ideas and having someone else write up 50 articles. It may cost $500 up front, but if the idea was good enough there is a good chance you could recoup those costs in a few months. I just need to free up my time writing stuff.

What they do not say is HOW MUCH THEY SPENT on that site. If you have an idea you are sure that will make you $50k, they yeah, you can go out and spend $10k on it.... but... have you ever had an idea you would bank $10k on? Also the idea that you can get someone anywhere near decent for $400 a month (which I have heard quoted in articles promoting this garb) is ludicrous... the reason being that as soon as you train / upskill someone... they will leave for someone paying $500 per month, or $600... $700. You always have to pay the going rate... there are no tricks to this... I really cannot see what these kind of info products really have to offer... but as you get it for free, then you get to see if I am wrong :-D Yeah but it is not the outsourcing bit you need is it, its the winning idea.

You could obviously do what they did in 5 months or whatever by yourself but it would be a huge time suck. Outsourcing is the way to go. Apparently since I've been a member of PLRPro for over two years I'll be getting a copy for gratis. Membership has it privileges. I'm hopeful that TOM has value and I'll let the peanut gallery know how it is. I'd rather spend 5 hours outsourcing and make even a third of what they did with their 50-5-5 site than spending time doing it myself anymore.

I have seen similar blurb from something called "replace yourself" though I did not pay for that info. Consider this... you have found a way to make $50,000 in five hours, do you: 1) Use that method, work 40 hours per week and make $400,000 per week 2) Use that method and work 60 hours for $600,000 3) Forget 1 and 2 and spend your time selling the secret for $300 or whatever it costs. All this stuff is bullshit, I really dont know why you waste your time reading about it... The real trick in that "$50k in 5 hours" was not the outsourcing part, it was picking the niche and the keywords, and knowing they could get the SERP. That is why they are selling crappy info products instead of building more sites @ $10k per hour.... because, without the idea (niche / keywords) you don't have anything to outsource..... and they are obviously out of luck / ideas... hence they are desparate to "sell their secrets"... info products are a joke. Do yourself a favor, join syndk8 black hat forum and check out their products instead. I outsourced writing for adsense sites, some went ok, but some lost... It always comes back to niche selection... I would not spend a penny on that garb from “The Outsource Method”.

It apparently focuses on making money with Ebay using BANS and phpBay or whatever that program is. It seems it is well organized but if you aren't much for eBay then you will have to figure out how it can be applied to other areas in the online biz. I think it probably can be used as a guide to sell any affiliate product. Hope it works out for you. Hey Sam, the only caveat with the blueprint is that it is eBay centric.

Let me know if you guys would be willing out to test my services in case I do go ahead with them. Regards, Alok. Hi,

I bought the program on the nine steps to making money online you suggested to me through your affiliate link on 7-18-09. BTW they have extended the deadline to 7-20-09 to for that 50% discount. It is laid out very well and looks promising. I will put a full court effort into this business per their 9 steps the next few weeks and see the results. I will keep you posted. Hey Splork,
