(This is a continuation from yesterday’s blog post on List Building – you may want to read that first!)
If you are interested in outsourcing your project to experienced freelancers, you can easily find a trustworthy professional from the following freelance marketplaces:
- http://www.Guru.com
- http://www.Elance.com
- http://www.Scriptlance.com
It may cost you a little more than some other sites, and make sure you vet the person that you will be working with to make sure they will meet your expectations.
Just make sure to provide your freelancer with a clear outline of what your project entails and be sure to follow up by requesting updates and reviewing the content as its created.
You want to be available to your freelancer in the event they have questions about the project or need a bit of guidance. Consider signing up for a free Skype account at http://www.Skype.com and adding your freelancer to your contact list.
You could also consider using private label rights material to create your initial giveaway product.
You want to be careful doing this however, as it’s important that you begin building a solid relationship with your subscriber base from the very beginning. This means that the product you give away will ultimately represent your quality and overall brand.
If you do decide to use private label content, make sure that you spend time revising the material so that it blends well with your own personal style. If you don’t the way it is written will not sound like you (“your voice”) and people may not like it as much as what they have become accustomed to reading on your site.
You want people to begin to recognize your brand, and become familiar with your work, so taking a few minutes to tweak and update the content will help to develop a product that is exclusively yours.
Here are a few PLR sources worth considering:
I personally have used each of these sites (and I also know each person that runs the site) – what they put out is GOOD stuff!
Be warned… there is a lot of PLR out there that is junk – it will be full of typos, was written by someone where English is not their first language.
The next post in this series will be about designing your Squeeze page!
Wow! I’m bookmarking this post for reference. Building my list is something with which I continually struggle. I look forward to future posts about this, too!
Great! Let me know if you have any questions as you move ahead, Diane.
Wow. I have a lot to learn from you. I started my blog mostly for personal reasons. As my subscriber base grew, I focused more on advocacy. This year it has really taken off and I really should focus on building a relationship with my subscribers. I’ve built a list and it’s growing. Now I need to learn what to do next.
I think you found a good place to learn! Thanks for stopping by. If you have any questions, let me know, Tammy!
I agree about changing up your PLR articles. You want to add your voice. I prefer to write my own posts – this way I can truly ensure that it’s unique — and mine.
Two thumbs up on that, Eydie!
