As a full-time internet marketer - use of time can get complicated if you don’t manage yourself. Since there’s no boss to provide oversight, I have to be my own taskmaster. One of the ways I keep myself efficient is outsourcing things that take a lot of time to do well that I don’t have to do myself. Here’s my list of the top four things a full-time internet marketer should never have time for.
1. I don’t think a full-time internet marketer should waste time trying to create lots of blogs by hand. I think you should have 1000 blogs but imagine trying to make all that by hand. I have over 1000 blogs and I can create more and post to all of them with a few clicks of a mouse. The tool for that is Blogger Generator.
2. Writing articles. I don’t have time to write ten great articles for every website I promote, plus writing fresh ones each month for the same sites. Content creation is great to outsource because there are fantastic writers in emerging economies that can write them for you. There are lots of freelancing sites but I prefer to use RentACoder.
3. Submitting articles. If you paid attention to #2, you’ll recognize that I deal with a crapload of articles constantly. It’s not efficient to spend all week submitting one article to 5,000 directories, which is why I outsource my submissions to the ever popular and totally powerful Article Marketer.
4. Directory submissions. Directories are still great for building keyword-rich backlinks to your site to rank well on Google. I outsource lately to a guy who goes by the name of Kulwinder at the Digital Point forum, but there are lots of other sources for this kind of work. I’ve yet to find a program that completely automates submissions. A lot automate the form filling, but if anybody knows of a program that will complete the submissions all by itself let me know.
