A lot things you do for your blog is nothing but a waste of your time. Some of these things, while necessary, certainly does not generate more income for you. The solution: outsource!
While you can outsource to just about anyone, the trend today is to outsource to the Philippines. Why the Philippines and not India or some other country?
According to Replace Yourself, an outsourcing guide by John Jonas, here’s why:
- Philippinos speak and write good English, are are easy to instruct
- It’s relatively cheaper to outsource to Philippines compared to most other English-speaking countries
- They value foreign employers and are happy to work for a Caucasian boss
I think the selling point is that it’s easy to tell them what you want and with a little training, get them up to speed with your working style and work rate. Plus, communication is key and generally speaking it’s easier to understand Philippinos than a lot of other people.
John Jonas, the anti-guru, set-up Replace Myself to help marketers and bloggers outsource their work to the Philippines. Starting on Day 1 of your subscription, you’ll receive:

Even if you think you never ever want anyone to touch the content part of your blog, there’s still a whole lot of stuff you can outsource, such as:
- Researching topics and compiling a list of sites
- Installing WordPress, themes and plugins
- Keyword research and compilation
- Leaving related comments of other blogs
- Social bookmarking and blog submissions
- Search Engine Optimization or SEO
If you can show someone else exactly how it’s done, you can outsource it. John’s idea is to “replace” yourself as soon as possible, and working not more than 17 hours a week on your online business.

If you manage a lot of niche WordPress blogs, adding new content becomes a real pain in the ass. Its tough enough to find good content for one blog, so how do you do it for say 20?
You may have come across the idea of using PLR or Private Label Right articles. What this means is that you get ready-made article content to use in any way you want and it’s 100% yours. Most good PLR sites including PLR Product Reviews, PL Rights, PLR Gold and PLR Health Wizard can give you tons of content for a very low price.
If you use these PLR content in a ebook or physical newsletter there’s absolutely no issue. But when you try to use it as online blog / website content you’re hit with a juggernaut problem: DUPLICATE CONTENT.
The problem with PLR articles is that you’re not the only one using them. Yup, about 20-400 other people (depending on the PLR provider) have the exact article content. So the gurus say what you should do next is to “re-write” these articles to make them unique.
But that itself is a paradox – why spend your time re-writing PLR articles when you can just write new ones? Why outsource article rewriting, when you can outsource article writing? Get my point?
That’s the main reason why although I do use PLR content to create free PDF reports and email messages, I never used them as blog content. That has changed recently after I discovered these services:
- Article Marketing Automation – Publish / receive unique articles and get one-way links from blogs
- 1WayLinks – Publish / receive unique articles and get one-way links from blogs
- JetSubmitter – Publish unique articles and get one-way links fro article directories
- Firepow – complete blog network including getting / publishing unique content, one-way links and socal bookmarking and much more.
All those services gave me an opportunity not only to use PLR articles as unique blog content, but also as great SEO and link building tools.
Of course by using the services I mentioned, your main goal with a PLR article is to get as many backlinks as possible by submitting it as content for other blogs and article directories. However, with their built-in article spinner / randomizer functions you should be able to get a more unique version of your PLR article. So in a way it’s killing two birds with one stone – creating content and getting backlinks.
