Save thousands with an Article Writing Service

Oh right. Using an Article Writing Service is going to do that for you? Couple of thousand dollars or even pounds? Never! More like Zimbabwean Dollars. Oh wait, you can’t get those anymore they ran out of paper trying to print mega Zim dollar bills!

However, it’s not really an over-hyped statement. You can really save yourself thousands. Let’s see how that works. And let me know if I’m wrong. I’m always happy to learn something new.

Let’s have a look how much it costs you to write your own articles. Do you know how much it costs you to write your own content?

You probably haven’t worked that out. And you wouldn’t be alone. Hardly anybody I’ve ever talked to has worked out what their time costs. It’s one of those things you take for granted you will invest in your online business. It’s called your time.

Let’s look at a very basic calculation here. Don’t want to confuse the issue and make it too difficult. Besides which if I get too fancy in all of this you will work out that I’m not an accountant and that could mean you won’t be interested in what I have to say. Can’t have that.

What do you think your time is worth? I’ve pegged it at $30 an hour. Nice round number to work with and I think pretty close to what is the true value of your time. Of course if you are an accountant then we are talking mega money per hour.

But no, you are but a lowly internet marketer writing for a living - like me. No mega fees in that - I know. Although of course writing is a creative process and is definitely worth far more than your basic living wage is.

Let’s use $30 an hour. You can argue with me by leaving a comment. To keep your internet marketing business going you need to write at least five articles per week and if it’s a decent one it should take you on average about one and a half hours. At $30 per hour you are in effect spending $45.00 per day on your article writing service.

How am I doing so far? All good?

How much is that per year at 52 weeks per year? That’s a cool $11 700.00. There are your thousands. Quite mind blowing isn’t it.

Of course you can tell me that this is your investment in your business and that every business person spends long hours building their business without getting paid for it. I’m going to take your point as a very valuable one. Because it also give me the opportunity to point out another factor here.

By spending that many hours writing content for your blog, how many hours do you have left for the real stuff such as making money? As much as good content on your money making blog is a must, what is even more critical is working on ways on how to bring in actual dollars.

Using an Article Writing Service would allow you to get on with a whole bunch of other stuff, such as create your own eBook that you can sell. Do some consulting. Make training videos. Or maybe sell somebody else’s product. What the bottom line is that you are not only spending thousands of dollars on your article writing in terms of the time you are using, you are also wasting opportunity costs.

That’s right. That’s what the eBook is called if you never get around to writing it. That’s what the affiliate program is called that you never have time to sign up to. It’s the value you place on the opportunity you lost because you did not have time.

So what is your time truly worth? A lot more than $30 per hour. And as a final dagger in the heart, let’s just remember that once you have used up that time, it ain’t ever coming back. Phew. That’s a low blow if ever there was one.

At what stage would you consider using an Article Writing Service? If it’s a ridiculously low cost or if they are amazing articles that you just have to have? What if it’s both. How would you know? Trying it out might be a route to go!

So here’s your link. Try it out now. Five articles for free in a niche of your choice. Can’t get much better than that. Go on. Get thee there!

    Article marketing has been used by professionals for nearly as long as mass print has been available. In paper-print form (as opposed to online forms), article marketing is utilized commonly by business owners as a means of obtaining free press space. A local business provides useful content to the newspaper free of charge, and in return the newspaper prints the business’ contact information with the article. Because newspapers and other traditional media are expected to present content on limited budgets, this arrangement is generally advantageous for all parties involved.
