This insight has resulted in a five figure income for me in the past six months or so. It’s a game changer, as far as I am concerned.

Before I share the insight with you, tell me something:

Why do we outsource?

Well, I think we outsource stuff for two reasons:

1. To save time
2. To save money

Outsourcing saves time because it lets us delegate the work to someone else while we do something that is more important or enjoyable.

And outsourcing saves money as well because it’s more expensive in many cases to do it yourself, thus robbing yourself of time to do more important stuff, or because it’s costly to do it wrong (for example, if you are not a designer, and try to design your site yourself, it may well cost you a lot in lost sales).

So yeah, outsourcing rocks.

But is there a way to make outsourcing even better?

What if we could save even more time and save even more money as we outsource? Is it possible?

Can we reduce the time it takes to outsource to someone and get back the result to a bare minimum, say a few minutes or seconds?

And can we reduce the money it takes to get our desired outcome to pennies on the dollar?

Can we?

Yes!

Outsourcing is a process. What you want is results.

So why not focus on the results, and skip the process?

Create time and money by investing into results, not the process.

For example, if you want a site design, it’s quicker and cheaper to just buy a web template, rather than hiring a designer to do it for you. Just look for a design that meets your needs, customize it to your tastes and requirements, and you are good to go. Takes just an hour or two at the max.

Another example: If you want to add content to your site, it’s quicker and cheaper to get hold of a few PLR articles and just add them to your site after rewriting them a bit.

Yet another example: If you want to sell products of your own, it’s much quicker and cheaper to buy a product with resale rights than it is to create one from scratch or hiring someone to create it for you.

The power of outsourcing without hiring

Do you see it now?

You were going to spend money anyway (on outsourcing).

But when you buy tools and products that let you bypass the whole process, you not only save a lot of money, you also save a lot of time.

It’s outsourcing on steroids.

And oh, these tools and products that you buy? Well, they will never make lame excuses like their Internet connection broke down, or their hard drive crashed, or they were sick, and so on. They will be there when you need them. No delays. No excuses.

Recommended resources:

Hundreds of thousands of PLR articles with tools to make them unique (outsource article writing AND the “rewriting” too)

20 resale rights products every week, in a variety of niches (outsource product creation)

How I made a mistake about the Resale Avalanche Club

Firstly, I am sure you know about the Resale Avalanche Club that I recently launched. It’s great in many ways, except that it’s too darn cheap, and that is causing me problems because it doesn’t even cover my hosting fees. Let me explain.

For 10 bucks a month, you get access to 80+ products that you can sell and make money from immediately.

It turns out I made a mistake

I made a mistake in keeping the price so low. And I made a mistake in offering such a huge number of free products as soon as you join. Let me explain.

These products cover all niches, not just the IM niche. (OK…)

The products are e-books, audio books, video courses, software, scripts, plug-ins, graphics, and much more. (Hmmm…)

Some products are so huge that they are divided into four parts – each part ranging anywhere from 40+MB to 100+MB! (Wow!)

As if that wasn’t enough, I am giving away 50 products as a free gift to all the early adopters of the club. (Double WOW!)

So if you join today, you not only get all that I mentioned above, you get an additional 50 products the moment you join, ready for you to download.

As you can imagine, with SUCH a huge number of products, and SUCH huge download sizes, I can’t even cover my hosting fees with the current membership fees.

Like I said, I made a mistake.

$10/month is TOO darn low.

I am sorry I made that mistake. I will have to raise the price.

But to be fair to everyone, I will leave the current price for ONE more day. I will raise it tomorrow, Monday, May 25th, 2009. That’s when the membership fees will go to its proper value of $37/month.

I’m sorry about such a short notice, but I hope you understand. The way it is now, I am LOSING money on each membership.

It’s still a steal at $37/month, but if you want, you can join before I raise the price.

Cheers, and enjoy!

PS: If you have any questions, comments or anything else to say, feel free to say it in the comments below. I will read and respond to each and every comment. Thanks.

Update: As I said, the membership price has now been raised to $37/month. It’s still a steal at this price, so be sure to check it out here: http://www.plr-packs.com/resale-avalanche-club/

Article marketing is a very good way to accumulate backlinks that point back to your site and generate visitors. Unfortunately, search engine companies like Google have clammed down hard on duplicate content so your works must appear somewhat ‘original’ or unique to be acceptable in article directories. In this article you’ll discover 7 tips to rewriting one good article under 1 hour and you’ll have no worries about other writers accusing you of plagiarism.

First of all, there must be an appropriate mindset that comes before the skill. If I may attribute a quote by Stephen King correctly, he said, “The more you read, the more you write.” It simply means anyone is capable of mentally storing accumulated knowledge for as long as s/he keeps reading, and with this pool of knowledge arise a desire to express oneself based on what s/he knows. This is the fundamental first step to establishing expertise. No one can lie about what s/he doesn’t know and shouldn’t downplay what they truly know if they can be in a position to help others and get paid for it.

Second, the structure and length of the article must be determined before writing commences. I recommend a length of 410 words to beat the minimum limit for acceptable article submission. A classic set of criteria for structuring would be:

1. Describe a problem, challenge or scenario that needs to be fixed.
2. Describe the consequences if the problem remains ignored.
3. List down possible solutions to help fix the problem. Put them in point form.
4. Highlight the benefits of applying the solutions.
5. Present in a case study, a real or theoretical positive outcome when the solutions are applied.
6. Summarize the key theme of the article and re-emphasize the need to solve the problem. End it with a “call to action”.

Finishing a 410-word article is really short and you’ll surely find yourself surpassing this limit when you practice writing.

Another thing to bear in mind is the use of synonyms. As you research for your content, be alert for words which you can replace with another of the same meaning. This will help you beat duplication.

The most wonderful thing about rewriting content is that although your words have to be unique, the ideas behind them are not. You can research a wide range of PLR articles or other people’s articles and cut them up, add to them, combine them with other content, or go one step further and create an e-book or audio/video product only because you don’t feel ‘right’ with how they write…the sky really is the limit! Include your own personal opinions and experiences about the topic or explain in greater detail the theories or concepts that are only mentioned briefly in other articles. Coming up with a list of solutions in point form is as easy as deriving one tip you can summarize in a single statement from each and every article you research. The more things you can think of, the more unique your resulting product will be.

Rewriting articles is not difficult at all. It’s not like I’m asking you to “start from scratch”. Once you get past the initial phase and develop a habit and a personal taste for expressing yourself in a professional way, article writing can be a very enjoyable activity. You can do it fast and never have a shortage of unique content again!

It’s always a good idea to rewrite all the PLR articles that you buy. Here are a few reasons why rewriting PLR articles is such a good thing and why you must do it.

Rewriting increases the value of PLR content

When you rewrite PLR articles, you typically separate it from the rest of the crowd who is using the same content as everyone else. As a result of your rewriting, the content gets your voice, your experiences, and your biases. In other words, you increase the VALUE that the reader is going to get from it.

Rewriting increases the quality of PLR articles

Value goes hand in hand with quality. As the quality of your content increases, so does its value.

When you rewrite an article, you correct any grammatical errors, typos, etc. Rewriting helps you get rid of any errors or omissions that may be present in the articles. When you rewrite, the article gets proofread automatically.

Rewriting helps you bypass the pricing war with other sellers of the same PLR material

Competing with other people on price will never make you any money with PLR.

But when you rewrite your PLR material, you essentially ELIMINATE all competition. And here I use the word “competition” to mean other people who are selling the same material that you would have, prior to rewriting.

Once you rewrite the PLR material, you effectively create a new product out of it. And this new product is yours, and you can charge whatever you want for it.

Rewriting makes your content unique

Unique not just in the sense of being written in different words. I am not talking about using “may” or “should” instead of “must,” for example. I am talking about adding a unique twist to it to make it stand out from the rest.

For example, can you take an article that lists 10 reasons for quitting smoking, and turn it into an article about why you would like your wife (or husband, or boyfriend/girlfriend, etc.) to stop smoking?

Rewriting helps you avoid the duplicate content filter

This is a problem that every single user of PLR articles has to face. Google’s famous duplicate content filter.

But rewriting your articles lets you easily bypass the duplicate content filter, as your article isn’t a duplicate any more.

Rewriting lets you reuse the same essential content in a variety of niches

Wouldn’t that be great? Write once, and use in a variety of niches?

Take the example of the quitting smoking article I mentioned above:

• Use it in the quit smoking niche
• Rewrite a bit and use it again in the staying healthy niche (or in any of the multiple sub-niches in the health niche – heart, lungs, blood pressure, cancer, and so on)
• Rewrite a bit and use it in the parenting niche (why you should discourage your teen from smoking)
• Rewrite again and use it in the personal development/self improvement niche
• Rewrite yet again and use it in the relationship niche (why you don’t want to date someone who smokes)

Get the idea?

Rewriting helps you “splinter” your content for different audiences and position it in different ways.

Rewriting helps you optimize the PLR articles for search engines

Some PLR articles may already be optimized for search engines, but what if you are targeting a different keyword? When you rewrite the article, you can optimize it as well. If the article is already optimized, you can tweak the optimization to target a different keyword.

Rewriting content makes it easier to obtain backlinks

Let’s face it. No one is ever going to link to a page with content that is already there on hundreds of other sites or blogs. If you want links, your content MUST be unique.

More links = higher search engine rankings and more traffic, so it’s absolutely critical for your business to rewrite your articles.

As you can see, there are plenty of reasons why you must rewrite PLR articles before using them.

Do you have any reasons of your own to share? Something that I missed? Please add your comment below.

Have you ever wanted to buy PLR articles, but hesitated because you were worried about duplicate content issues?

I understand how you feel. And I  understand your skepticism. I would feel the same way in your position.

Publishing PLR articles on your website just the way you got them can really affect your search engine rankings. And if you try to submit them to article directories, your article may get rejected. Article directories just don’t allow duplicate content.

So what’s the solution? As it turns out, there are several ways you can create unique content using PLR articles. Read on to learn more…

Combine two or more PLR articles to create a single unique article

This one is easy. Just take a portion from each article and put them together. Maybe add a few sentences here and there to keep the flow smooth.

Combing articles to create a unique one has an additional advantage that you can use this technique to create longer articles.

Try to look for a common theme. For example, if you take an article about Windows, another about Mac, and yet another about Linux, you can combine them and write an article that gives an overview of all the different operating systems.

Split an article into two or more longer articles

If you can combine articles, you can split them too, right?

Well, yes, technically. But then you will have to do some writing of your own.

What you can do is take a paragraph or an idea from an article and expand it into an article in its own right. For example, if you take an article about the top five ways of doing something, you can probably write a separate article for each of the methods covered in the original article.

Takes a bit of work, but hey, you end up with more number of articles than you started with.

Rewrite the article (or get someone else to do it)

If all your attempts at combining or splitting the articles to create unique content have failed, the least you can do is simply rewrite all of the PLR articles that you have.

Simply change the headline, the first paragraph, the ending, and a few sentences here and there. Should take you just a few minutes per article.

Or if you don’t want to spend the time rewriting the articles yourself, you can also outsource it to someone else on the cheap. Sites like elance or rentacoder give you access to a lot of writers who can rewrite your PLR articles.

Translate to some other language

Who says your PLR article must be used in the same language you purchased it in? There are millions of people online whose native language is something other than English. By translating your article in their language, you are not only creating unique content, but doing these people a great service.

Just be sure to ask a native speaker of the language to do the translation, and don’t use some online tool for it, or your content will look like gibberish!

Convert to audio or video

Converting your PLR articles to audio or video format will not only increase their perceived value, they will also give you a chance to make them unique as you go, without having to spend a lot of time.

You can do this with very basic equipment if you want to. No need to get too fancy. Just get a simple headphone with a mic, and a webcam, and a recording software, and you are good to go.

Convert the article to audio, and then back to text

Just put the article in front of you, start recording, and keep reading the article. But instead of repeating what’s in the article verbatim, you can keep saying each sentence in a different way than is written.

You can even expand each sentence into stories or examples, and add your own perspective here and there.

Once you have finished recording, you can transcribe it back and get a text version. If you are too lazy to type, or don’t have the time, you can use one of the transcribing services online.

Use the PLR Article Toolkit software (available from plr-packs.com)

The PLR Article Toolkit software that is a part of this Huge collection of PLR and MRR products can let you create unique content from your PLR articles packs in a matter of minutes or even seconds.

The toolkit will insert random snippets of text (that you choose) into your articles to make them completely unique. You can use this feature to insert quotes from people in your niche, or links, or bits of code, or anything else that you want.

And you can even point the software to a directory full or PLR articles, and it will automatically create web pages out of them. Just like that.
