It is good you stay focus on 1 or 2 subjects in IM. Most of the time people tend to feel lost because there are so many areas can make money online. For the start, I would suggest you 2 resources for Adwords & List Builder.

Hope this can help you to get started fast.

I back again to IM on January after I saw awesome result from gobala for his Chapter M, and I know IM is what i’m looking for and now I invest around 200 usd for some ebooks, minisite and sales letter as your mention, and doing some home work for adwords and also list building.

Do you have any guideline to adwords and list builder?

I really thanks to you and gobala who give the hope for me to start IM, and wish to learn more from you all!

I would suggest you think internet marketing just like any other business, allocation of start up capital is a must for you. However, this initial capital is not high for IM, usually US$300 – $500 is a reasonable one compare to other business.

Yes, you need to put your focus mainly on promotion & advertising. A certain knowledge in writing is an added advantage but not a must.

However, if you don’t have capital that I mentioned, you can do the long way like most of the people do, learn everything themselves, do everything themselves, and wait till the business is profitable and then outsource. Usually this will take anythings 6 months to 2 years, depends on how well do you understand your project.

Good point you sharing with us, i love to buy OPT and use OPM to make profit, but is that effortable for those who just started in internet marketing?

So do you mean we just manage for the promotion and advertising stuff instead of writing sales letter?

I love to learn from you, steven.

It is okay to admit that we need help at times. I think that someone would be truly amazed at what a sense of accomplishment you can feel by outsourcing and focusing on what you do best.

Good luck to you!

First of all, you need to do your homework. Check out the rate in Rent A Coder or anyone has the experince outsourcing on the sales letter writing job.

You need to check whether coders’copywriting is proven or not, meaning able to convert the sales. Next, list out your requirement, as details as possible. So that, both of you know the scope of work, and you can bargain the price the the coders.

Remember, not the cheapest price or most expensive price will get the job, it is depends on their feedbacks ratings. This part is very subjective, you need to determine yourself, I can’t give you a guideline for this.

The more you do, the beter you are.

Thanks for sharing your outsourcing experiences in the previous post.

I’ve a question here though. When you outsource the creation of sales letter to the freelancer, how do you determine how much you going to pay them and decides who should get the job?

Since sales letter determine the conversion rate, other than checking their previous works, is there any other information that we need to provide them or vice versa?

Lol..trying to learn here..:)
