How To Create Content Series – Part I

I have fought with content for a long time online. It is hard to come up with content. And writing it is a weird thing. When you are in the groove, you can do a lot. However, one day you stop, and then it is hard to get things started again.

I have tried many tools to help me jumpstart the process but tools aren’ writing. And here are times when writing just does not work. So what other options do you have for content at these times?

First: Why would you want to do this?

• Article Directories
• Guest Posts
• Content Sites
• Your Own Blogs

The Results from 4 Manually Written Articles

• 4 Unique High Quality Articles
• 40 Better Quality Articles
• 520 Good Quality Articles

Doesn’t It Make Crap Content?

• No all is done manually with a little help from a spreadsheet
• There is a diminishing level of quality starting with 4 manually written articles
• Just put the best quality results on the best quality, higher profile sites and tweak them necessary

I just have to admit this to myself. Currently, I have no time to write posts for this blog, no matter how much I want to. So I am looking for help from you, my readers.

I am looking for guest bloggers. The topic matter could be anything I cover on this blog, anything that somehow relates to affiliate marketing. Any of the following will be accepted: basics of affiliate marketing, seo, link building, niche blogging, article marketing, pay per click and the list goes on.

Article Marketing has taken a lot of twists and turns over the last few years. I was marketing via articles before the term “Article Marketing” was used. It was a gold mine back then. Take one article, submit it to hundreds of sites and get links back to your own. Then repeat. There was much of an issue with duplicate content.

Now the landscape is a little different. Sending the same article to hundreds of different directories may not help that much. Once Google notices that they are all the same article, some of the pages containing these articles will be devalued. It won’t hurt you, but it won’t help you either. Your link won’t count.

Let’s face it, most of us so not have time to keep a constant flow of posts going to a network of blogs. I am getting better at writing my own content, but I do this part time. The most posts I have published in one day was five and that took some work. Throw a post in that needs a bit of research and editing and posting gets harder.
