What project Management system do you use ?

I’m a new reader here (originally heard of your site from the podcast with Pat), and I’m a fellow niche site duel participant. Glad to see you are getting some traffic, but like you, I’m also seeing most of my traffic from people just curious about the niche site duel.

Oh, and here’s a kick in the pants you need – Set up your affiliate link!! It takes 2 seconds, and who knows, you may be missing out on sales right now. 🙂

Best of luck,

Well, we will get some idea by splitting out organic search traffic versus direct traffic. I need to add the blog to my Google Analytics account so we can get some good data.

I always have at least one full-time VA offshore (I have 3 right now but am shrinking that later this year). For content, I have a part time writer and a part time transcriptionist. I also have a part time web designer and a part time perl programmer “on staff”. For part time VAs, “on staff” means hourly rates are agreed ahead of time and they just bill me as work is completed.

So, if I want to do something, I just enter the task in my project management software and assign it to a VA.

Definitely – I use TBS http://www.masonworld.com/recommends/bestspinner

You always talk about your VA… i was wondering…. do you only have one VA working for you ?

Are your VA’s using an article spinning software?

Thanks for the update!

Me too! I agree that $100 is a pretty small investment in the grand scheme of things.

And yes — I do have a NAMS ticket for January. Now all I need is permission from my wife to attend! 🙂

Great idea — time and money need to be documented. So far, I have spent far more time messing around with documenting the process and writing blog posts than I have spent on the site. I spent about an hour on keyword research and about another hour checking out the affiliate offers in the space. I spent half an hour buying PLR and about another hour giving instructions to the VAs. I need to spend another hour or two looking at the site and writing instructions to the VAs today. So, let’s say 5 hours of time so far.

As for the cost — less than $100 total so far I think. I will have to document that in more detail.

Thanks,
Mark

Wonderful. Looking forward to seeing you again.

Awesome. I’m looking forward to seeing how this pans out and how quickly you recoop your investment. $100 really isn’t all that much for a new little stream of income.

If you can, it may be interesting to see you document how much time you personally have invested in this.

P.S. Hope to see you again in Jan. at NAMS.
