Over the last couple of years I have built up a great blog that is finally paying me some money. I have a couple of affiliate links on my site to an online guitar school, and because my blog targets people learning to play the guitar, I seem to have started getting a lot of click thru’s to my affiliate. This is fantastic news for me and it means that I am doing something right.
I have a bit of experience in terms of optimising sites, and I was able to get the blog ranking quite well in the search engine results pages, but I knew there was one problem. I am not the greatest writer in the world when it comes to writing about the world of guitars. I know a little, but I am definitely no expert. I knew that if I wanted to get the best out of this site then I needed to hire in a writer specifically for the job.
I was pretty convinced that with the right content I would be able to make a lot more money, and now that I had some money coming in, I could afford to hire freelancers for my site. I had a little look online and I came across a great site which advertised for a number of different workers, including thousands of writers! I was able to find someone who was an actual guitar player and a great writer to boot! Since employing this guy my site has gone off the scale! So much so that I am in the process of putting together two more blogs, purely with the plan of having my freelancer produce some more great copy for me!
