Writing for your blog. Where to get content from?

If it’s one thing that I learned the hard way is that blogging is much more than a simple hobby. And if you want to make money with it then you’ll have to get even more serious.

One of the difficult things about maintaining your own blog on the floating line is keeping it updated constantly. You don’t come up with something new to say, a fresh product to present an interesting topic to discuss, your blog will be forgotten within 1 week. I know it’s really unfair, but this is how it goes. The competition is high, and there will always be someone wanting to do just a little bit more to get ahead.

But writing about things can be an extremely demanding job
. At some point you just don’t know what to say anymore. And it’s not all about just writing something for the sake of it. Absolutely not.  In the world of blogging there a lot of other aspects to take into consideration. Such as: the length of your post, if it’s keyword rich, but not too much because then you’ll be penalized, if it has nicely written paragraphs, if there are no spelling errors, and most importantly is it SEO friendly and will your readers enjoy it?
If you come to think about it, there are a lot of elements that need to be taken care of when you’re writing. Of course it’s not as difficult as writing literature, but still, there are some rules. And the bad part is, that not all of us have such a gift to put words on a sheet of paper (well a post) so easily.

And that can really be damaging for your business. In the online environment, one of the most efficient ways of communicating with your potential customer is through writing. The manner that you present your business or how you describe your service will have a serious impact on your revenue. It will decide whether you will earn more, or you’ll just be on stand by.

And only if getting the right content would be the only thing to do in order to maintain a blog/website alive. It would be nice, wouldn’t it? But we all know that’s not the case. There are a bunch of things that need to be taken care of, for instance promotion. Building links in a natural way. And that is a real tough one. Then, also make sure that your readers are happy, talk to them, stay in touch. Look for new products to review, start new sites, promote those. It’s really complicated, and time is of the essence.

That is why, sometimes a little bit of help can really get you places. My plan is to develop more sites in different niches; most of them are something like my personal hobby. But even so, writing content for them it’s really overwhelming for me. Think about it. If you want to start 5 new sites for each of them you would need at least 5 pages with written text of at least 550 words.  So that’s 25 pages * 550 words. I think it’s safe to conclude that this will take time. At the end of the day, I realize I didn’t even eat properly. I mean okay, we should all work, but not kill ourselves in the process.

So, I thought to look around for someone to give me a little bit of help with my writing scheme here, and I encountered this group of professional writers and I was quite impressed with what they did. The site is called Article Writers SEO, and they have a pretty decent deal for your articles.

They provide only high quality content which is 100% SEO optimized. Also, all articles are written by native English speakers so there won’t be any weird spelling errors or sentences that don’t make sense.

Also, they are very much up to date with the latest changes from Google, and you can choose from 2 different types of articles: keyword or LSI keyword ones. I went for LSI (latent semantic indexing) keyword articles because I realized that SE like it much more when they find related searches of your main keyword. I guess it looks more natural like that.

I ordered 10 articles through them, and they were very quick with delivering them. And it really helped me a lot. I used the time for writing those articles to do other much more useful things.

It’s rare nowadays to find a service that has good report price/quality. But I think I got lucky with Article Writers SEO. If you’re interested in what they have to offer you can contact them here.

Outsourcing for content is starting to be a very “must do” thing nowadays. Google really got smarter and you can’t fool around with blog networks that have spinned content. And probably that’s why I consider Article Writers SEO to be such a gem.

I just thought I’d mention them to you in case you ever find yourself in the same situation as mine.

Happy Blogging! he aim in this article is not just to get a high Page Rank.

To Automate or not too Automate? – The Power of Link Building in a 2013 Content Dominated Industry

Now, by “automate” i don’t mean spamming a couple 1,000 blog comments or some wiki articles. I mean a properly created and developed automation Campaign!

The softwares i use are either – Senuke XCr or GSA Search Ranker, both of these aren’t built to spam 1,000's of links, they’re built to create links in a targetted manner. My first lesson in automation is don’t do automation, now by that i mean don’t do automation to your client’s root domain!

My campaigns tend to start with me optimizing the onpage then pinging and re-submitting sitemaps etc… to Webmaster Tools. THEN I move onto creating WordPress, Blogger, Blog.com and various other such sites.

The difference between having a WordPress site & a Blogger site is massive, WordPress allows for more optimization in terms of themeing, widgets and generalm content/page creation but Blogger offers the country target’d TLD (or Domain for those who are less into OSI Layering and such, e.g. .co.uk, .com, .ca etc…)

I’m going to be giving you an example of a simple campaign i setup for my client -

Marble Creations @ MarbleCreations.co.uk

These guys specialize in Granite & Quartz Worktops in Bradford, UK but also delivery/install across the UK! – So taking a look at what they do (and more importantly how much they’re paying us) i started to build a link building campaign around this.

My first step was to setup both Blogger & WordPress, both blogs -

http://worktopsinbradford.wordpress.com/ & http://graniteqaurtzbradford.blogspot.co.uk/

I populated both with a custom written article for the 1st week and plan to add 2nd, 3rd and so on articles across the following weeks/months of our campaign (so if your reading this 2 months from posting, it’s still very much so worth it to track my progress). The articles ofcourse have backlinks (2-3 per article, with the related anchor text being the keywords i’m targetting).

Once the blogs look all shiny and new with great content on them already as well as a targetted domain name, i start the automated side of things. For this specific campaign i used Senuke XCr to Turbo boost these sites with targetted backlinks and campaigns, before heading into Senuke and paying for the full subscription, get the damn trial! Learn any software and see if it suites your needs before paying the extortunate fee every month…

Here’s a list of 75 Backlinks we’ve created with this tool for the Blog, the above campaign uses a number of great submissions and builds around 200 backlinks (I spread the submission over a 30-45 day period normally but for this example it was a quickly done to show example of how to go about doing this sort of campaign and i expect you to take the 30-45 day advice -

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_Nhr_ImiHBBX2tHT3pkcnZqODg/edit?usp=sharing

Repeat the automated link building side for all your blogs/external sites you’ve created, this’ll bring link juice to the external sites and even if you get bad links it won’t affect the client’s SEO unless your blog gets a blacklisted/completely f%$&@d by your automated tools.

Words of Advice - 

No “Nuking” – Wikis/PDFs/Blog Comments/Guest Posting mass links, i use GSA & Senuke as you can limit the amount of submissions you make /day or in total and you can target specific categories, sites etc…In your blogs, change themes, add header images, alt text etc.. Make your offsite blogs/sites as nice looking as possible and as Unique! as possible, if your putting effort into Unique content for the blog, why not put Unique work into the blog itself, especially as Google scans the sites code etc…

Who am i to tell you all these things?! - 

Well, i know this is my first Moz post but i have been doing SEO for the past 4 years, i’m currently 16 (nearly 17, as if that makes much difference in your world) and i’m based in Birmingham, UK. I work for a company – http://www.bootcampmedia.co.uk and i’m the Sole manager for SEO (except Content writing) for all their clients.

I also do indivual based SEO for my own clients as well in the weekday evenings and weekends. I spend most of my time on the computer and have a passion for gaming as well, my main focus at the moment is between college & work, getting both my qualifications and the work experience /money from my job.
