some are doing it while some are not.

im confuse. what are the cons if i do the latter?

also, if i the sales on cb got refunded, would i still be paid? im just asking coz the adult networks that i was working with before were paying me the PPS even if the buyer made a refund of the purchased product.

thanks

    You can outsource it. Just make sure YOU understand how to do it properly and then teach it to your outsourcer - you might want to make a video for him/her.

    CB will not pay you if there is a refund.

      then i guess ive got a long way to go in IM. i thought that i can just give the niche to that person and wait for the kw to be handed to. sighhh...kendimann has a long way to go...

      so thats how it works with cb. thanks for the clarification

        You can outsource KW research if you want to! There's no law against doing that if you don't want to do KW research yourself because it is time consuming.

        However it is a vital part of your business and it's always worthwhile asking yourself if you do indeed want to outsource the bedrock on which your business is based.

    Hi Kendimann,

    I will never outsource my keyword-research.


    Keywordresearch is the main blood of internet-marketing and I will never outsouce this proces. Its just vital to me, that I am in full control of the money-keywords, so my project wont get kicked down the road.

    I also not choose to outsouce this proces, due to competetion.

    I will outsource, writing, backlingbuilding, socialbookmarking and sometimes blog-building.

    BR LASSE

    If you want to outsource the keyword research, why not include other tasks. Let keyword research be an added task.. like after keyword research you can make your worker write an article for that specific keyword. Also, make sure that you have trained the worker well, as keyword research is really needed to be done appropriately.

    Hope this helps.

      thats what im planning to do. but if kw research should not be outsourced, then i guess i have to do it on my own then let someone write the articles for me later on. thanks

    This is one of those things that I think is too important to outsource.

    Well, this can also be part of administration tasks which I get my virtual assistant in one of my projects provided. Although this could be project-based and not a day-to-day task, it's still easier if your virtual assistant could also learn about doing this so you could save more time without hiring a different person.

    It is better do the KW research your self, you may use the market samurai to do it. You may know how compete the KW is, and how many people search on the KW.
    Too compete KW may take you long time to get rank, If too less compete KW you'll worried that will it generate sales.
    Use market samurai and search for the exact match for the KW, there are formula in doing the KW research, there is a number range for KW research but I had forget it, you may tried to visit Kok Choon warrior post, there might be some info in there.
    Wish you all the best.

    Hey Guys....

    Funny thing is that I do freelance outsourcing for Warriors, and I have worked with THOUSANDS of Warriors on tens of thousands of keyword lists.

    My customers are not people who don't know how to do keyword research. Instead, they are people who just don't like to do keyword research themselves, or they would rather spend their time on other parts of their businesses.

    Sure, doing keyword research one niche isn't very time consuming. But many of my clients supercharge their marketing efforts, and need keyword research on 10-20 niches a month (which when you add all of the other parts of marketing, can take up a lot of time).

    So if you need one niche completed for one project that you are working on, then you might want to do it yourself. But, if you will be working on developing a portfolio of niche blogs and need dozens of keyword lists (or if you'd like to have someone compile your keywords who does it full-time), then you may want to consider outsourcing.

    Again, most of my clients are very knowledgeable about keyword research and most have Market Samurai. They just outsource the keyword research just like they outsource other parts of their business (ie. article writing, article submissions, graphic design, Wordpress installation, etc).

    Much Success,

    KateD

      I think it's a good idea to understand how to do keyword research yourself and when your budget allows . . . outsource this task so you can free up your time for other things. As with any service the quality of research varies. I do keyword research manually using google's free keyword tool and offer a research service.
