Adventures in Outsourcing
After reading the 4-Hour Work Week & talking to my friend Paul about the results from article marketing, I decided to try outsourcing.
What I’ve learned so far
- It takes skill to clearly define & explain tasks. It’s a skill I’m developing. So I found a company in India
- It’s so funny to read the results of writers who are not native speakers! I laugh when I read it & find it interesting to note what the writers think of Americans.
Here are a few quotes from 1 article I had written recently:
Climbing the Ladder of Progress
“In today’s world of fast moving and ever increasing competition, publicity is one of the vital tools of business development that emerging corporates need to pay attention to in order to climb the ladder of progress.”
Perplexing!!!! Question
“Is Online PR really different regular PR?
The answer would be a yes as well a no. Perplexing!!!! Let me explain. Both online and regular public relations are similar as far as their targets are concerned- working as an effective marketing tool to step up business.”
Magical ability to reach hordes of people
“The strength of online PR lies in its magical ability of reaching hordes of people throughout the globe in very less time spans that has that magical effect on a business venture.”
Yes, like press release, you get what you pay for! In this case it would be $12 an article but thanks to a special price deal it was just $6 an article. Magical!

Eh.. you’d be right to question how well you can outsource content creation, since that’s so specific to native speakers. We outsource SEO (just getting the site up) and use stay-at-home moms rather that have… shall we say… somewhat better understanding of the nuances of the English lexicon.
