Post subject: Gary Antosh book - is it worth it?

Debs, is Gary Antosh's book really worth it?
Can you give us a few "insiders notes" w/out breaking any copyright laws, or being shady?
Have you used any of his techniques?

Gary gave quite a few pointers on here about how to do what he has in his ebook, the difference between the ebook and his tips is just how well he goes through the steps, one by one, on keeping organized, and finding the right writers to get the focused, quality content you need. The secret is finding the writers, not the content 
Yes, I think it is worth it, especially if you are running dry on slants for articles. I've experimented with it, yes, and am going to be going full-tilt into it for my next couple of sites. It is an awesome way to get a large chunk of good content, very cheaply.
It especially works well with James Martell style content sites because you don't have to worry about tying various articles together if you don't want to.
What do I mean by that? Well, for starters, my debt site is a step by step guide to managing finances, getting out of debt, and the options you have ... so there is a logical step by step approach you need to take to be successful in managing your finances. I had to do a lot of personal research that bordered on legal/financial advice that I wouldn't have contracted out to be written because of the legal implications involved in this field. Mess up and give legal/financial advice and you set yourself up for legal ramifications, including practicing law without a license.
However, I still have a variety of articles that are opinion and product based that lend themselves well to content writers. My next few sites will be more Martell style, with hired content. Gary told me he can't believe the increase in income he has experienced by being able to add 10 to 20 pages a day to his sites. I've seen just a small bit of what Gary is experiencing and I am excited!
Is it worth it? Yes, if you read it, study it and do it. Not once, but over and over, finding the writers you can work with for the long term.
Combine Gary's book with Martell's, and you have a blueprint for multiple sites and fast! My original goal of 10 sites by the end of this year looks like a piece of cake now, and before it worried me about being able to manage that number of sites. LOL As a side note, Gary now has more than 10 sites live and earning, and expects to add another 25 by mid-summer! I'm still pretty conservative  so I'm not quite that ambitious but 10 sites by summer is looking mighty good!

Edburdo,
Debs, is really too kind. All I can tell you is that it has changed the way I build sites. Content is king as I've said and so many others. Of all the SEO tricks, or whatever you want to try content is still what everyone is looking for. At the end of the day... content is what has stood the test of time.
As an example I have an article I wrote back in 1996 that after 6-7 years is still in the top 10 of yahoo on a phrase. I know Allan can say the same on an old site.
Here's the bottom line as far as I'm concerned. The more content on your site the better. You can write it or have it written. I look at each article as an employee... it does its specialized task for a phrase. The eBook is my method.
Not a plug for the eBook but all this online marketing and site building stuff... learn for others mistakes.
just my 2 cents,

 I didn't realise that speedguide was Gary Antosh...
That gives the book a bit more weight now... I have followed a lot of your posts here. Thanx for contributing.
Ok... I will put the book on my Buy list... but don't expect it to be soon. I have some other bills to sort out first (maybe with some tax money, if Uncle Sam leaves me some... )

Hello
I just wanted to share my experience , CONTENT is King, I didnt purchase the e-book because I already realized this from the forum. I have a very good content writer from http://www.rentacoder.com he has brought my computer sight phenominal SE hits in just 10 days or less .
Sight was published 10 days ago and is recieving over 100 SE hits now , needless to say that I will be adding more content to double the hits.
Notice: Most of these hits come from abnormal typed phrases except for :
gaming monitors & gaming keyboards
I just pay $ 4 per article and have been asking for 500 words of content.
Good Luck
Jeff

Jeff,
Way to go... You took the first step. It's easy to sit back and figure it won't work. Keep building content. I'll be adding over 200 pages to sites this month alone.
All the Best,
Gary

Gary,
Sorry, DiD NOT realize that was you who posted here. I DID NOT mean to critisize your book because I have not purchased it.. I am sure that it is very good. I just wanted to share that there is no secret to the search engine hits , except for having lots of content. Laws of average , your bound to get hits with lots of content.
Thanks
Jeff

Jeff,
I never took it as a hit on the book. I'm glad you're moving forward. The process is working very well for me... as I can see it's working for you also.
All the Best

Hi All,
Just like to add my tuppence worth here.
"How to create website content Fast..." is a very helpful book written by a very helpful bloke.
I've seen one or two people make comments like "Gary's book is just about hiring ghost writers, so there is no need to buy it, just do it" True the book is about hiring someone to create content for you, but that aint the big secret of the book!
The secret, the big benefit of "How to create website content Fast..." is Gary's vast experience with this idea. And he gives it ALL to you. All the little details as well as all the big details. No hit and miss, no trail and error, all the nuts and bolts! When you have your copy you will see just how much work Gary has put in so that you not only save yourself bucket fulls of time in having someone else do the grunt work by writing your content for you, but also...
...he saves you even more time and sweat, by showing you how to do it right... the first time!
Should you be looking for the URL for this essential resource, I'm sure that you will find it on Allan's main site, and just maybe in the sig file of a very helpful young Lady that posts here from time to time.
All the best,
Larry Chamberlain.

I haven't read Gary's book, but I know his posting style so I can imagine what his writing style is like... a mix of practical and motivational.
Let's face it, there are thousands of how to books available. Many don't sell well, and of those that do, many don't stir people to action. At the very least different people get different things from different writing...
It's often more to do with the appeal or motivational skills of the writer than the actual quality of the information contained. At the end of the day, the value of the book is best judged by what you achieve as a result (or the fun you had reading it) rather than what you should have got out of it, if you had taken the information on board.
Ironically, it's often the people who are least likely to apply the information that feel most inclined to buy self improvement and how to books. I know from personal experience that the time I was achieving least was the time I was buying most - and it wasn't just because I was spending all my time reading.
All the best,
Charlie.

Gary's book is one of three that I would not feel "cheesy" or embarassed to recommend to a COMPANY or Corp Marketing department. It is of high quality and lacking all the upsell "this is the REAL reason I wrote my book" bs.
I have talked with Gary over the phone and plan to do more of that after a few projects clear up. I trust him enough to share a bit of what I do. That, in and of itself, says that if he produces something I expect it to be top quality. |
