Writing and distributing articles is a great way to get traffic and backlinks, but at what point do you start to outsource it?
Well first off you have to be making enough money from it to afford outsourcing, a good quality 400 word article will set you back $8 or so on Elance.com, but second of all you have to know how much your visitors are worth to you, and preferably to be building a list of email addresses too.
If you know that on average each person who joins your email list makes you $5 a year say (most people think it would be closer to $12 so I am going on the low side here) then you would only need 2 sign ups from an article to be in profit. You can then compare that with how much traffic you currently get from articles and what the sign up rate is from that, and see if the numbers look good or not.
Or you can just free up your time and outsource article creation for backlinks. You can even get someone to spin articles for you like we spoke about earlier, that way you have hundreds of variations to use to get backlinks!
So articles are a great way to start getting targeted traffic, but you need to make sure you ramp things up when you can and start outsourcing parts of your work so you can work ON your business not in it, you should be choosing new projects and directing the old ones rather than doing the actual work.
