How to Write Unique Content 3 Times Faster than Everyone Else

I like to write make money at home articles that contain information you don’t come across everyday, and that’s why I end up not writing a lot of content about the subject. Most of the basics have already been covered by Grizzly, Court, Vic, and others. They know far, far more about how to make money online than I do. Hopefully one day I can evolve to their level and, as a result, get unsolicited backlinks left and right. LOL

However, sometimes there comes a time when I do have something unique to contribute (something I think is unique anyway). Like Griz, Vic, and Court, I too make a living online and have a trick or 2 up my sleeve. I do not undervalue my abilities as an internet marketer and have a high satisfaction with my current level of success. What I do online pays the bills and supports my chosen lifestyle, so I’m happy! I don’t have a “job”, I make money 100% online, and I can live where I want. Life is good.

Anyway, on to the actual meat of this make money online with backlinks article:

To dominate a niche on the search engines, we need backlinks and content for our blogs and websites. The best kind of backlinks are in-text links mid-sentence in an article about a related topic. Oh – and we need lots of those types in article/blog post links. Lots. In addition, that content needs to be original to be most effective – no PLR, dup content, or spun article crap. It’s even better if our link is the only one on the page.

All that sounds like a headache waiting to happen since no one naturally wants to give us the “perfect” backlink – especially in niches that are oversaturated like MMO. In addition, no one can afford to outsource all the heaps of content that we need exclusively for backlinks. Also, to start out, most of us have day jobs and don’t have time to write endless articles ourselves because we’re dead tired when we go home at night. What a vicious cycle most of us are stuck in! It really sucks and I truly feel for those of you in that situation because I’ve been there too…

How can we make the backlink process go faster without our fingers hurting and constantly gluing our eyes to the computer screen? All we will get out of this method is an early case of arthritis and deteriorating vision. Wow, what a trade-off. Our health and social/family life are priceless and precious, so don’t ruin them by marrying your keyboard. After all, the whole reason most people break into internet marketing is because they are trying to free up their time – not tie themselves down.

I don’t know about you, but once I get going with a particular niche – I get really sick of writing articles and really disgusted by the amount of time it takes to type out a decent sized article of 500 or 1000 words. My goal has always been to output at least 10-20 unique (absolutely no spun or automated content) niche-specific articles per day solely for the purpose of backlinks, but if I do it the way everyone else does and at the volume I need to in order to rank for keywords, I would have no life! I would be sitting at the computer all day long writing articles, and I don’t want that. I also don’t want to wait forever in order to start ranking well for my niches. 1 article a day isn’t going to cut it for most niches.

Here’s another thing to chew on: What about the times we’re away from the computer thinking about our niche and come up with good content in our heads? We can’t always write it down immediately and we can’t always remember it for later, so what do we do?

I have a secret article generating method and I will share it with you. It is totally legit and there is nothing Google can do about it to shoot it down. I hope you find the following information useful:

It is a proven fact that we can speak approximately 3 times faster than we can type. Furthermore, we can speak anytime, anywhere. Typing has to be done while at our computer and what kind of life is it to carry our laptop around with us all day?

I create articles 3 times faster (unless there are some superhuman-typers out there!) than most people can because I use a handheld voice recording device designed for use with the speech recognition software called Dragon NaturallySpeaking Preferred Mobile (make sure it's the mobile one so you get the voice recorder). You can buy it here at a discount: Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred Mobile (Yes, it’s an affiliate link. If you think I deserve credit for the idea then feel free to use my affiliate link. Or, delete my affiliate code and buy it directly if you can’t stand the thought of me earning a commission from it, LOL!) At the very least, how about a backlink to this article with the anchor text “make money online” or "make money at home" or something like that? :)

I carry the voice recorder around with me and whenever I get the inspiration or whenever I need to sit down and bust out 10 quick articles about my niche, I talk into the recorder. It takes me about 5 to 10 minutes or so (sometimes less if I thought out what to say) to speak each article that would take me 15-30 minutes each to type out manually, depending on how many words the article needs. It has about 99% accuracy and has gotten better the more I use it as it gets used to my speech patterns.

Later, when I am ready to post some backlink articles, I plug the device into my computer and the voice recordings are automatically converted into word processing documents that I can copy and paste into my desired backlink source. I use it for on-page content as well.

Most of my time is now spent locating places to post the spoken articles rather than relentlessly typing them out by hand. That’s how I make money online and generate unique backlink content at superhuman speed.

As a side note, if you always have tons of emails to answer like I do, it helps tackle those quickly, too.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments section and remember to send me a backlink if you appreciate this make money online tip. I estimate that this article is about 1000 words, give or take a few, so I’ll stop there…

How to Make Money Online – Get Natural Backlinks

Before I proceed with this make money online article, we need to go over what natural backlinks are.

What are natural backlinks?

There are all sorts of backlinks people use to make money online: spammy backlinks, comment and forum signature backlinks, “whined for” backlinks… None of those are natural backlinks – and if you want to make money online you will need mostly the natural variety to satisfy the ever-changing demands of Google.

I know, I still didn’t answer your question about what exactly natural backlinks are. I’m getting to it… don’t worry…

Natural backlinks are the backlinks you get from some random person who decided to link to you. You didn’t ask for the link and you didn’t spam anyone to get it; you didn’t comment on a bunch of “.edu” student blogs and you didn’t write a paid post on someone’s blog. The beauty of natural backlinks is that you can often get them from people who have blogs and websites related to your niche. These related, unsolicited backlinks are the most valuable you can possibly ever get. How do you get them?

“Post good content and post it often!” all the blogging gurus proclaim. Most people who try to make money online simply want to make a blog, slap up some Adsense, write blog posts everyday with recycled content when they run out of ideas, get a couple comment backlinks, and waste away their days promoting the blog on social media sites.

“Attract natural backlinks and attract them often!” I proclaim. No, this is not the same thing as posting good content. Let me explain.

My approach to natural backlinks is different. Most gurus and so-called experts say to write spectacular, unique content and the natural backlinks will take care of themselves. Trust me, backlinks (the kind we need and want) never “take care of themselves”. Backlinks are not passive no matter how you slice it. True, your natural backlinks will be unsolicited, but they sure as hell don’t happen simply by writing a blog post. Yippie… another blog post! There are millions of blog posts written about backlinks everyday and no one cares. Due to oversaturation (especially in the make money online niche) it takes more than good content to get natural backlinks – it takes a pioneer approach.

Blogging gurus are mostly full of s%^* and flock to blogging conventions to collect their meaningless awards touting their self-indulged expertise. The real gurus, those who don’t refer to themselves as such, never attend blogging conventions and never flaunt their skills – they simply demonstrate those skills through their actions. As we all know, actions speak louder than words. Most of the real gurus never even show their faces, so we will never know who most of them are. They lurk in the shadows, make their money, vacation in the south of France, and laugh as everyone else follows Darren Rowse’s blog like it’s a cult. Instead of reading about celebrity train wrecks for entertainment like most people do, they read noob comments and blog posts written by Yaro Starak and Caroline Middlebrook.

Content is only a small piece of what it takes to get natural backlinks and in some cases good content has been totally sidestepped. For example, just look at some of the sites that rank #1 or #2 for very competitive keywords! Most of their content is either sparse or heavily regurgitated from the same crap they have blogged about time and time again. Either that, or they hop on over to Grizzly’s Blogger blog to find something they can paraphrase and pass off as their own “expertise”.

Back to the question: How do we get natural backlinks without annoying the competitors in our niche to death? Good content is a great strategy if you use it to attract backlinks, but it needs to be paired with that which makes people want to link to you – it needs to be a tool that they can’t live without (and free is always a great incentive for someone to give you backlinks). Essentially, you are creating a “niche within your niche” so that the people in your niche will not feel threatened by you; they will link to you.

Everyone loves the person who gives away things for free, but no one wants to BE that person. Most of the time, that person who gives away things for free is the one who ends up winning out because ‘free’ is part of their strategy. When something is ‘free’, the assumption that you have ulterior motives suddenly disappears.

Thus, you mustn’t be blatantly selling something if you want backlinks. On the flip side, we all need and want backlinks because, ultimately, we all want to be able to sell something. To put it a different way: We need backlinks so we can rank for our keywords, get targeted traffic, and sell stuff - but no one wants to give us backlinks if we appear to be some money hungry, heartless internet marketer. Do you see the dilemma? If we didn’t want to make money online, we wouldn’t be chasing backlinks like there’s no tomorrow.

I can’t give you a solid answer on what your tool or natural backlink magnet should be. It depends on how creative you are, what your niche is, and how actively you pursue and implement your ideas. My best advice is: Find a hole in your niche and fill it. Come up with some tool or unique information that you can offer for free; in exchange you will attract natural backlinks if you market it properly and if it is truly an asset to your niche.

If you want to know what I’m talking about, I advise you to watch very closely what I do (not just what I say) in the next few months. I have some natural backlink magnet strategies in place and I will be implementing them. Remember that actions speak louder than words.

One last thing about Grizzly… He is a pioneer. I have an educated guess as to why he would offer the world so much priceless make money online information for FREE (besides the fact that he’s a nice guy!). Grizzly, a true internet marketer who practices what he preaches, inherently knows the value of attracting natural backlinks. His blog is a giant natural backlink magnet! Everyone and their mother who is interested in how to make money online links to his blog without the need for him to ask them to.

Sure, when he first started the blog I bet he had to work his tail off to get backlinks, but once he obtained some and people began to realize the value of his knowledge – everyone else did the backlink work for him. It was a snowball effect that pushed him to page 1 for “make money online”. This is a case of content winning out, but only because he has the backlinks and actual knowledge to “back” it up; this situation is rare and I think only Grizzly and a select few others have been able to pull it off.

Grizzly was the first person to really open up about how an average person can make money online – and most respectfully of all: he does it for free. His honesty and helpful attitude have allowed him to stand out in the make money online niche, and this gives me great hope. For once, honesty wins. How’s that for a slap in the face for all the sneaky internet marketers out there?

Remember, you don’t need to be a “Grizzly” to get natural backlinks. Implement the free tool approach in your own way and you will be successful in your quest to make money online – even if you don’t have the means to create great content like Grizzly does.

So let it be written; so let it be done.

How Dare I Make Money Online!

In my efforts to promote my online money making guide e-book, I have received a lot of praise as well as some criticism. Apparently in the beginning, I was contacting the wrong people – people who have no intentions of admitting that they are even online to make money (we all know that’s bull sh!$, but anyway….)

In my quest to spread the word about “how to make money online” one of the attackers gave me an idea for a post. In the name of “trying to help” she threw some nasty words at me, but in a twisted and egotistical sort of way…. she actually did help. I won’t mention her name because I’m a nice person and I don’t want her or her blog (it’s a very popular social blog, I might add) to look bad.

I initially sent her an email with a brief description of my make money online e-book and I attached a copy of it in pdf format for her to review. Here is the initial e-mail I sent her:

“Hi XXXX,

I really enjoy reading your blog as I am a digital nomad who recently made
the switch to making 100% of my income online. You do a great job, so
thanks for all your hard work!

The reason I'm writing to you is this: I recently finished writing an
e-book directed at digital nomads that I think your readers would be
interested in (and that you can profit from as well via the affiliate
program.)

The e-book is titled "Nomad's Guide to Make Money Online" that explains
step-by-step how I make money online with free methods. The book goes into
extreme details so that anyone can replicate the methods.

I have attached a copy of my book in PDF format in its entirety. I sell it
for $37, but your copy is free. Read it if you wish; it's my gift to you.
I trust that you won’t send the file to anyone else or post it anywhere
for free.

If you think this is an e-book that would appeal to and help your readers,
I have an affiliate program through plimus.com where you can earn 40% of
each sale. Once you make a sale, your 40% is automatically transferred to
your account (you can choose to receive a check or use Paypal to receive
your money) and the pdf file is automatically delivered to the customer...
similar to Clickbank, but less annoying. I deal with all the customer
service and other hassles; you don’t do anything on your end except
promote the book or post your affiliate link/banner or whatever you want
to do to try to get readers to buy it (write a review, simply recommend
it...whatever works for you.

If you would like to join the affiliate program and start promoting it to
your readers, the link is provided below. Signing up for a free Plimus
account only takes a minute.

I love how she set the disrespectful mood immediately by putting quotes around my name followed by an ever-polite "do I know you?" Classy. Here is her response:

To which I responded:

“XXXX,

No, it hasn't been sold much to social bloggers - you're right. However,
most people are social bloggers because they think that's the only way
they can make money with blogs. Not everyone, but that's the case a lot of
times. They aren't aware of the alternatives that exist. I don't think
most people get enough information available to them when it comes down to
the specifics of making a living online. It seems to be a dream that most
people have trouble accomplishing. My goal is not to sound rude or
degrading to people, but to help them make money online and travel.

Obviously it's up to you if you want to sell it, although I'd be very
honored if you did! Frankly, I'm honored that you took out time to write
back to me. :) Perhaps you can warn them upfront about the tone, and then
let them decide if they are interested in it? That way, you are being
honest to them about what it is (maintaining their trust in you) and at
the same time, it becomes an opportunity for you to make some money.
Sometimes having an alternative viewpoint can be beneficial to people, as
long as we're honest about its motives.

Thanks,
Janet Smith”

OK, back to the blog post:

Money isn’t the main motivation? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! May I buy her a halo for Christmas? If she'd give me her mailing address, I'd be happy to...

These social bloggers (am I being derogatory?) must think people like Grizzly, Vic, Court, and now: me…. are the devil or something. Come on! I never said I write sh!$ content on my blogs and neither have they. Actually, most of my blogs have very decent content, mind you. I don’t want to get slapped by Google, so I have standards….

Not everyone has the same strategy online and I can respect her strategy if she can respect mine. Think of it this way: If the internet were all spectacular content that gives everyone all the information they could possibly need and want for free, there would be no market for advertisers (or very little) because people would get all they need from the content. It works both ways. Obviously she has never operated a business before.

Come on, guys…. help me out here… I do provide some value to you, don’t I? I’m helping people…. helping them make money online. So is Grizzly. So is Vic. So is Court. So are many others… We’re showing you the way it’s done. Who are we hurting, honestly?

I find it amazing how some people can’t see the other side of an argument because they’re too deeply rooted in their own side. Those, in my opinion, are the people who shouldn’t be blogging. I’m not saying she needs to agree with me – she’s entitled to her own opinions. However, when you are a “blogger” who people read daily and who people respect, you have the unwritten responsibility to be mutually respectful, open-minded, and decent.

Those words were not decent. Self-righteous does not classify as an opinion – online or offline.

I wonder if she and her husband are still shaking their heads at me. Some part of me hopes they are. Nevertheless, I hope they’re careful not to make themselves dizzy when shaking their heads. Never shake your head on a full stomach is my advice.

I do wish her the best – honestly I do. But I wish she would get ahold of some better people skills. Even if she disagrees with my make money online methods, she could at least give me the same courtesy I gave her. I said nothing rude to her and all I got was wrath I didn’t deserve. She needs to be a big girl and express her opinions without throwing a tantrum. I respect that she was trying to be honest to me, but her words depicted fear in the worst, condescending way possible. What is she scared of, I wonder?

I guess the age-old make money online “battle” between bloggers and internet marketers persists…

And who says I can’t write quality content for my make money online blogs? LOL!!!! Chew on that, Google bot!

I digress…

Still making money online in Brazil with sh!$ content,
Janet
