the life of a teen online entrepreneur
September 18th, 2008
Outsourcing is quickly becoming a popular source for getting articles for a blogs. I personally have never outsourced ANYTHING (surprising, ey?). But, from what I’ve read its a great if you plan on flipping your blog or website. I agree that it is a great idea if you’re planning on flipping a blog. That way you can make the most money in the least amount of time. But what scares me off of outsourcing is “How do I know this is an original article?”. How am I supposed to find out if the guy just went to another blog and copy and pasted the article? That would be a great scam for someone to pull. That way they don’t have to spend any time writing, researching, etc. All they have to do is find a blog with a good article, copy and paste it into an email and email it off to the buyer. Even though that is HIGHLY unethical, I’m sure its been done.

Some people, for the life of them, cannot find some good forums to post on. So here are some of my favorites.
Arguably the biggest webmaster forum on the web. It has a buy and sell section, seo help, adsense help, and more. If you’re not already a member on DP I suggest you sign up soon.
It started out about 2 years ago and has grown a lot from then. It has had 2 different owners and the one who runs it now is awesome. He keeps it almost completely spam free and checks it quiet often. As you can see from the name of it, it is a forum for teen entrepreneurs. If you have some free time check it out.

Lately I have been providing a backlink service for pretty cheap. I currently charge $0.13 per dofollow blog comment I do. I get most of my clients from Digital Point. I haven’t been stiffed for payment yet, so its going good so far. I’ve had 3 clients in the last 3 days and I’m working on getting a big job (a payout of $13.00) right now.
NOW for the part that you guys check this blog out for… HOW CAN YOU DO THE SAME THING!?!?!?!
1. Post in the buy and sell section of digital point that you “have a great deal” on blog commenting.

A lot of bloggers and interent entrepreneurs suggest not to use a free webhost. But, too be differen’t, and to see if its worth it I am using a free host to run this blog. If this blog starts getting some good amounts of traffic I will most likely move it to my paid host. Now back to my original question “Should I use free web hosting?”

Lots of people, especially teen entrepreneurs who are strapped for cash, wonder who they should register their domain with and who has the cheapest prices. The first company I used was Yahoo! Business. It cost me $9.99 for the first year and then when it was almost time to register the next year they said it would cost me $36.99 So obviously I stopped using their services. So I transferred the domain to my hosting provider 1and1. It was very easy and it took about 2 days to transfer over and now it only cost’s me $6.99 a year. And the registrar I usually use now is NameCheap. They are definetly the best company I’ve used so far. Their customer service is the best I’ve dealt with out of three registrars. There is also a domain company called name.com They only charge $5.99 for a .com domain. So I will be trying their sometime in the near future. But the most used domain registrar is Godaddy. Suprisingly I haven’t used them yet either. But everyone seems to like them the most out of any other registrar, so I’ll be trying them out as well. Below is my ratings for the company’s I’ve used.
