Hey Sara,

As far as conversions go, I’d say I’m doing about average as I know George is converting at a much better rate..

But as far as outsourcing that, don’t do it, don’t trust anyone else with setting up your sales pages, that’s the most important part!

Your best solution is to just learn how to improve on your sales copy..if you want I can talk with you more about what you may be doing wrong in private.

Hey Pete, ya, that’s what I’ve done in the past.. what I do is just log it as a business expense under “advertising” I will log all e-book purchases and outsourcing efforts as business expenses so that they reduce my income for the year.

Mike,

One other factor to consider when outsourcing is that the money spent goes on the cost of services side of your business balance sheet. If things don’t work out exactly as planned it can reduce the amount of reported income from the business.

Mike, I don’t know if this is the proper place to post this question since it has nothing to do with outsourcing but what is your secret to converting with your last post on your sniper sites. None of my sniper sites have converted one sale. Should I maybe look into outsourcing my final posts through someone that has sales copy experience? I often right a quick review and obviously I must suck at it.

Hey Evita, ya, that’s pretty much what I’m thinking, include that as part of the cost of setting up a site…For most of my keywords that’s about all I did, and it was enough…for others, they’ll require a bit more promoting.

Hey Carrie, np.. Having good and bad experiences is all part of the game, I don’t anticipate all my outsourcing experiences will be good. Good luck with the outsourcing.

I’m glad you have had good luck with outsourcing so far. I have had mixed luck which always makes me wary to try something new, but since I have limited time I have to rely on outsourcing.

And thanks for the recommendation on the UAW writes. I don’t do UAW but may try the articles for article directories as you suggested – great idea.

Mike,
I just ordered 10 UAW articles from the same place you did.
I’m hoping they will be well written. I may just figure that to be included on the cost of setting up a new site. The domain, and then the UAW article. Then I’ll do thew RSS feeds, bookmarking etc. myself, along with posting the articles in a few other article directories.

That may be all that is needed for some of these sites.
