Overview:

Last week you learned that Blog flipping is a niche form of website flipping. This week we’re going to talk about the systems for filling your blog with content. Here are four ways you can fill your blog:

System #1 = Write the content yourself. A good blog posts fresh new content systematically (or on a set schedule). Normally to start out you would blog once a week, every other day, or – if you’re a high achiever – once a day. This is a LOT of content to cover so we suggest posting every other day.

When you’re writing content for your blog you should target keywords in your niche that get high traffic, but have low competition. You can do this by researching keywords in the Google Keyword Tool, and then writing an article that focuses on this topic. By posting with a targeted keyword each of your posts then have a purpose: to bring in more traffic from that keyword.

System #2 = Outsourcing your writing is a very effective (and cheap) way to fill your content while still building your business. Let’s face it, writing 500 words every other day is going to take up a lot of your time, so a good solution is to hire a part time writer that will write 1-2 new blog posts per day: you could even train them to do the keyword research for you: so that your content is completely hands off.

System #3 = Purchase PLR Content. PLR is private label rights content: which means someone else writes articles on a topic and sells it to anyone that wants a copy. You purchase the content and can use it as your own. This saves you tons of time, however, you’re going to find a lot of other people with the same content which makes your site less valuable.

The best way to use PLR content is to rewrite it. Use their pre-written article as a starting point or a baseline for your actual article. When you re-write the article you can change up the order the information is give, switch out some of the resources they provided with new resources etc.: just find a way to change up the text so that it provides the same content just in a different format.

System #4 = Have your content Auto- generated. There a blog plugins that will go out to the web and find articles, videos, questions & answers all related to your topic. This plugin will then take that information (that someone else wrote) and post it to your blog with a correct link back to the original author.

We don’t suggest using solely this plugin for your content: however it’s a good way to supplement your custom content with other news, articles, and facts from the web: without having to do the leg work to find it all. We take you step by step how to use this system in next weeks lesson.

Assignment:

1. Decide how often you’re going to post to your blog. We highly suggest posting every other day or every day as that will give your blog a lot of valuable content that will increase the value of your flip.
2. Now do some keyword research on your niche. You should find 5-20 keywords that are related to your niche. These keywords will be use as topics for your blog posts.

Here’s a video on how we do keyword research:

Here are the links you need to get to these tools:

Google
Keyword Tool Keyword
Difficulty Tool

3. Once you have your keywords pull out a calendar: we’re going to plan out your posts, which will eliminate wasted time deciding on topics later on. If you decided on daily posts I suggest you plan out 2 weeks worth of posts. If you decided on every other day posts then you should plan out at least 7 posts. Here are the types of posts you can write:
• Lists: list the top 5 best (whatever) in your niche, lists of the 3 biggest mistakes people make, etc. A list is normally the easiest post to create because just 3-4 items will be enough to fill your post
• Q & A: these are really great and VERY simple to write: go to yahoo answers or answerbag.com and search a keyword in your niche. Pick out 3-6 questions and then write a short intro and then list the questions and their answers.
• Review: pick a product, author, product owner, etc in your niche a write a review of the item: these are often great ways to drop your affiliate link to other products while still giving great content to your readers.
• Argue a point of view: pick a HOT topic in your niche and talk about the 2 sides of the argument and then voice your point of view: these normally stir up the pot and get your readers commenting and giving their opinions as well.
• How to: (one of the simplest posts to write) all you have to do is pick a topic in your niche and talk about how it’s made, how to do the action, etc. if it’s a new traffic process write the steps on how to, if it’s a new make up technique, write out the steps to recreating that technique.
• News: (these are simple and quick posts) All you have to do is check the news update feeds in your niche and post the current events and a small blurb of your experience or opinion on the topic. An easy way to find info for these posts is to subscribe to Google Alerts or News feeds with keywords related to your topic: google alerts will send you email notification as it happens, once a day, or once a week with a list of events on the keyword your provided.
• Profiles: these are normally really fun to make. For the profile posts you pick a popular person in your niche and profile their successes, experiences, products, failures, etc.
• Surveys/Polls: In this post you would talk about a few popular questions in your niche and then have the readers comment with their response: then as a follow up post list out their answers (unanimously)
• What if: in this post you’re just going to write a “what if” style post where you talk about what if there was a magic pill? What would you want in it and then you give your what if, and then readers respond with their what if’s: it’s a good way to get some interaction and creativity going on your blog.
• Success Stories: is very similar to the profiles, but they don’t have to be popular: they can just be short paragraphs about someone that had success in your niche. Often you can get an interview with them and post their answers to your questions as well!
• Hot seats: This is a fun one. You post up a person, website, or product, and then pick it apart: the good & the bad and then get constructive on how it can be better.
• Live shows: starting a live internet show in your niche is a good way to create lots of video content and increase your subscriber base, but its also an easy post. If you did a weekly show: then you take the embed code from the recording and post it to your blog. With a small paragraph about when your show is, the benefits of attending the live show, and then what you talk about in the video.

Once you have your plan in place it’s time to start writing, or hiring someone to write for you. To hire a writer from Scriptlance, you can use this swipe file.

SWIPE FILE: Sample Article Writer Project

Title: Easy Article Writing

Description:
I need a writer to write 4 articles (500 words each).
The topic relates to [add your topic]. Here is the
list of titles for the 4 articles:

[list the article titles (with keyword)]
This should be an easy job for anyone that has written
articles in the past. If it goes well, I am hoping to
hire the winning bidder for many more jobs in the future.

You must use the code word ‘[pick a word]‘ or I will not select
you, no matter how many great reviews you have.

All articles are copyrighted to [your name] any
infringements will be reported to the proper authorities.
I have software that will notify me if there is any
plagiarism.
Thanks
[Your Name]

Budget: $10 – $30
Project Type: Writing

Extra Features: NONE

After you post this project wait about 24 hours and then choose a bidder that has a good balance of positive reviews and low price. DON’T CHOOSE SOMEONE WITH NO REVIEWS! Sometimes they work out but 70% of the time they don’t.

Once you’ve chosen your bidder and the bidder has accepted you’ll communicate with them inside scriptlance via the private message board (PMB). This is where you’ll send a private message to him with your article details. You should tell him the niche your in and the keywords you want him to target in the article.

Do not pay or release an escrow payment to the bidder until you are 100% satisfied with the work. Then submit a review after payment so others will know what to expect from that person. NOTE: with article writing you shouldn’t expect a 100% perfect article: they can get it close, but I normally expect that the writer will write it to 80% of what I want to provide (quality wise) and then I’ll pretty it up the other 20%.

By now you should have received your first 4 articles back and need to schedule your posts so they automatically post to your blog. Follow these steps to post to your new blog:

1. Login To Your Wordpress Admin Area
2. Click On “Posts” and then “Add New”
3. Now Copy Paste the article into the text box and give your post a title.
4. Don’t forget to categorize your posts by commong themes or topics in your niche
5. Now scroll to the top and look for the “Publish Status” section on the right hand side. Click on the “Edit” button next to the words “Publish Immediately.” This is where you’ll select the date and time for your article to be published.

GO ahead and schedule out the 4 articles you have

If you were planning on mixing it up between, PLR and your custom written articles, go ahead and schedule all your posts for the next 2 weeks (that way you only have to worry about content 2 days a month).

Here’s a video showing you how to create and schedule posts in your Wordpress Blog:

Now, you need to go back and post another project on scriptlance for the remaining articles you need for fresh content to your blog: you can also rehire your scriptlance outsourcer form the previous project if they did a great job.

NOTE: When I need 10-15 articles, I never hire just one person. I split them up across 2-3 writers so that they all get done inside a couple of days. One BIG project often overwhelms the writers and they never deliver the complete package.

When all of that is finished you should now have 2 weeks worth of content on your blog and 4 weeks worth of content planned. This should take you no more then 3-4 days if you’re spending at least 2 hours per night on your business. This concludes this weeks lesson!

Congratulations! You’re not ready to Get Some Google Love. Here’s a video that will walk you through what to do with your content so that Google starts to give you love and post your site
in the search engines.

NOTE: this video was created for another website flipping training on the 4 page Weebly Flips. However, the step-by-step lesson of getting listings in Google is in this video, so give it just a few minutes to get passed the 4 page Weebly intro, and into the “good stuff” you need.
