ARTICLE-CONTENT - ARTICLE BROKERING - THIS IS A COMPREHENSIVE 40 PG GUIDE ON FLIPPING CONTENT
INTRODUCTION
My name is Vas Blagodarskiy, I’m a Russian-born
Business major at University of Maryland (College Park).
My family moved to the US from Europe about a decade
ago. Thanks to my Dad who has had a PayPal account
for almost 10 years, I’ve been able to do business online
since I was 14.
When it all started, I was “that annoying
kid†who would try to make money online any way he
could. Due to my lack of experience in communication on
professional forums, NamePros and WHT infraction
points started adding up, until I got banned from those two.
However, I did the smart
thing and learned from my mistakes: I got the hang of online etiquette, starting checking
twice if I’m posting in the right forum or not, and overall treated others with a lot more
respect than I used to. While I was 14-15-16, I learned HTML rather quickly, moved on
up to basics in PHP, quickly mastered Photoshop, and was able to make $150-$250 a
month working from home. Not bad at all for an average teenager, making money from
his computer, right?
Now that I’m an adult, I have all-grown-up responsibilities: rent, food, gas, not to
mention about $10k a year in tuition. A part time job isn’t enough to make ends meet. I
knew that High School was coming to an end and College would start sooner than I
could blink, so I got started on content creation a few years ago.
I began the way most content writers start out on
DigitalPoint: $1.00 per 100 words. Then I realized how
hard it is to actually come up with content – I had high
standards of my final products, because I wanted to get a good reputation on DP.
I soon
had to start charging $1.50, then $1.75, then $2.00 per 100 words. As my feedback
score (formerly called “iTrader pointsâ€) racked up, people realized that I’m serious about
my work ethic, and that I’m actually fluent in English (imagine that! On a forum full of
foreign writers who are happy with making $2-$3 a day).
Soon I discovered the unique reality of how things are on DigitalPoint:
There is a never-ending demand for high quality content, and there seems to be little
supply of it. Most cheap writers speak poor English, can’t write a correct sentence to
save their life, and therefore charge as low as $2-$3 per 500-600 word article.
Before I start, let’s define two crucial terms that I will be using throughout the book:
Client – an interested customer who wants your article writing services
Supplier – the writer whom you pay to actually create content for your client
The secret to flipping content is to find reliable English speaking writers who do not
charge an arm and a leg. Then, you build your own brand, charge a marked-up price,
and keep the profit!
The concept of content brokering is very similar to flipping domain
names, sites, houses, cars – you name it. It’s very simple, and very profitable, because
it allows you to spend less time to work with more clients simultaneously. Here is how it
works:
1) You find a customer who needs specific content written
a. You get all the details from them
b. You quote the total price
c. You receive the payment up front
2) You find a content writer who will write it for less
a. You forward the details from your client to your supplier
b. You send them their payment
c. You remind them about due dates, help them with finding relevant
sources, etc
3) You keep the profit
a. Your profit is the difference between what was paid to you, and what you
paid to the writer
b. Your job is to be that “middlemanâ€
c. You can earn up to $200 / hr doing this
3 steps. That’s it.
