Finally Outsourcing my SEO

Ive been building niche sites for about 2 years now and making enough to scrape by on. Working longer hours and making less than most of my friends in a 9 - 5.

After a another new site ranking and some conversion changes which shot my daily income right up (and im sitting on around 2 months of income to cover any unexpected changes). I'm finally at a level I feel comfortable outsourcing my SEO.

It's eating it's way into my profits of course so I'm back on beans on toast for a while but in the long run I'm hoping this will be the 'critical mass' point where things will get a lot easier.

There's some things in IM I think I'm good at. And writing content endlessly is not one of them. I've struggled on and done hours and hours a day writing content for the sites and the backlinks.

Now I'm looking at roughly 100 500 word articles a week from my outsourcers and some of that is going on sites others being manually spun etc... Basically it's a lot of extra content coming in which leaves me free to do the pieces that are endlessly on the 'to do' list as well as my own content on top of that.

I can rank sites faster, handle more sites at once and still get more done than I could before. I've already a bunch of new sites based on my current working model so I'm thinking a few months tops before they're already paying for themselves and my earnings are even higher.

I've been to webinars and done my reading, I think I know what I'm doing developing a relationship with them, establishing expectations on both ends and putting together some basic training packages so they know what to do.

After 2 years of scraping by I'm... Well scraping by again. But this time I'm getting a lot more done and looking forward to 2012.

Very excited, just though I'd share.
