Content Writing 101

The year is 2011. The economy? Still as bad as it’s been for the past few years. The bills keep piling up, and you are searching for some way to make ends meet, some way to put food on the table and keep provisions coming in for you and/or your family. Your traditional 9-to-5 has either closed its doors, reduced your working hours and told you that overtime is no longer allowed, or you’ve been asked to take a cut in pay or perhaps even been fired. The long and short of it is, you need money.

What if there was a way you could walk into a place using the very knowledge you possess right now and start making a minimum of $50 an hour? No specialized skills required, no degree necessary, no mandatory abilities other than the ingrained knowledge of how to string together words to form a coherent sentence and use a search engine to research topics and write about them.

What am I talking about? I’m talking about writing for content mills, places like Demand Studios, Pure Content Media Limited, Text Provider, Associated Content, Text Broker, Constant Content, Bright Hub and others, places that are looking for people like you who have access to the Internet, a computer, and the ability to write on a wide variety of everyday topics that require little/no research, using nothing more than common, everyday English that all of you possess.

Sounds too good to be true

At first glance, I’d probably think the same. In fact, around four years ago when I started this career, I personally had no idea that the profits could be this good doing something that is so easy and doesn’t require a degree or 15+ years of experience. But here’s the thing: it’s not only real, it’s absolutely doable and you can start doing it right now, with no previous experience, no background necessary, no degree and no hassles.

$50 an hour, minimum, writing about everyday topics like grooming dogs, changing oil in a car, painting a house, cooking food, sewing clothing, building furniture. Things which you already either know how to do or can easily research on the Internet using your preferred search engine. And just so you know it’s not some one-time scam, you can read about other people who have achieved the same type of success with content mills such as Demand Studios, such as this article written by Dan Fletcher over at the  New York Times, where he talks about making $60 per hour writing for Demand Studios, one of several content mills out there, or the eBook Demand Studio Secrets written by Kent Ninomiya,  which takes people behind the scenes with one of the largest content mills on the market. Not to mention you can watch my series of YouTube videos, complete with over five hours of recorded footage of me writing at Demand Studios for $60 per hour, all of it captured with Camtasia and time-stamped so you can see all of it was done in the moment.

While Kent’s book focuses solely on Demand Studios, Content Writing 101: How to make a minimum of $50 per hour writing for content mills focuses on writing for content mills as a whole. This is a content writing guide that takes all the negativity and the Chicken Little press surrounding content mills and proves all of it wrong. This eBook takes you deep into the heart of writing for content mills, and how to make a minimum of $50 per hour while doing so, which is almost double upper management wages for some places in the United States, according to sites such as CareerBliss which show that branch managers for Bank of America make an average of 57k a year, or $27.4 per hour when broken down into 52 working weeks at 40 hours per week. And you can do this without ever having written a word in your life, without ever earning a college degree, using only the knowledge in your head and your ability to research topics on the Internet and write about them. Without ever querying, cold-calling, waiting or dealing with a kill fee after months of hard work on a particular piece.

You’ve read the posts. You’ve seen my Content Writing Experiment from back in 2010. You’ve explored the multiple articles and exposes I’ve written over the past 2 years showing people how I repeatedly walk in and make more than $50 per hour writing for content mills. If you subscribe to the newsletter over at Complete Writing Solutions you’ve seen the screenshots of my paystubs, seen the actual results, and in this eBook I take it a step further, breaking down the exact methods I use to continually hit that $50 an hour minimum when writing for content mills, complete with Camtasia footage of the methods in practice.

You’ve read my bio. I’m a mid-western redneck who worked in construction for 15 years with the family business as a ceramic tile and natural stone contractor and installer before the economy tanked and the global crisis forced me to find a new career path back in 2007. I never finished high school. I never went to college. And yet here I am, living in various countries around the world, making a minimum of $50 per hour writing for content mills as well as traditional clients and publications. If I can do this, without any college education, without finishing high school, anyone can do this.

30 day, money-back guarantee

I’m so confident that my method will help you break $50 an hour minimum that I’ve included a 30-day, money-back guarantee on the eB00k. If you purchase the product, can show me that you gave the methods within an honest attempt and you still weren’t able to break that sweet spot of $50 an hour, I’ll refund your entire purchase price. I’m that confident in my product. I know it works for me, and I know it can work for you too.

Ignore the negativity regarding content mills. See it for what it is: desperation on the part of the writers of yesteryear, sticking fingers in the dike and vainly attempting to hold back the rising tide. Rise above the fears and see the reality of writing for content mills: one of the many, many ways to earn a paycheck as a writer. Not the only way, but one of many. Take your $50 an hour paychecks and wave them high in the air. Be proud of putting food on the table for your family. Be proud of making a living as a writer. It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks about your job; what matters is that you are keeping a roof over the head of you and yours, that you are finding a way to pay the bills even in uncertain economic times, that you are evolving with the industry and finding modern ways of remaining relevant, of adapting your skills to merge with the current trends in the industry.

At the end of the day there are dozens of ways to make a living as a writer. You could be a technical writer, a copywriter, an author, a poet, a scriptwriter, a series writer, comedy writer, content writer and beyond. Writing for content mills is no different than any of the others. Just as technical writing requires a certain set of skills and knowledge, knowing how to use content mill structures to your advantage requires a certain type of knowledge and skill, and just as technical writing can earn you a paycheck, so can content mill writing. And contrary to what you might have heard from the Chicken Littles of yesteryear, all the claims regarding slave and/or lower-than-minimum wages are nothing more than that: claims.

But don’t take my word for it. Become one of the content writers of the modern era who are utilizing this model to their advantage, adding one more way of making money to their long list of endeavors. After all, putting all of your eggs in one basket can be detrimental if something happens to the basket, so take the time to spread your eggs around a bit, establishing multiple streams of revenue and ensuring you and yours are always taken care of. Plus, with a 30 day, money-back guanrantee, you have absolutely no risk and absolutely no reason why you can’t get started on the path to success, right now!

Still not convinced?

Imagine being the first person to tell everyone that the world was round, when in their hearts everyone just knew that the Earth was flat. After all, that’s what everyone had been saying for years. Heck, even the church (at the time) was excommunicating people who dared claim that the Earth was round; it was considered heresy. So I completely understand if you are one of those people who have been struggling with writing for content mills, or you are someone who has never written for them before but all you’ve heard is the negativity behind them. With that in mind, as an added bonus above and beyond everything else, you can also follow along the 5 part video series on the Complete Writing Solutions YouTube channel, showcasing me putting into action some of the basic methods described within the eBook to break that $50 an hour minimum sweet spot. Here’s a breakdown of the videos so you can skip right to the ones you think are most beneficial to you and your writing.

Please note that our new YouTube channel is temporary. Similar to the issue that Darren Rowes faced out of Australia last year, YouTube closed down our first channel after we shared some affiliate links Google didn’t like. We are currently shopping for private video hosting so we can post what links we want, when we want, to best help our customers and clients.

Testimonials

I’m always leery about spending money on digital products but a good writing friend of mind recommended this to me. The intro was a bit slow but once you get to the info regarding the nitty gritty details of how to be profitable with content mills the book really opens up full throttle. – Sam Eddington, Massachusetts.

Worth the money overall, and the book has been updated several times since it was first released with new information, such as with the private video footage that customers have available to them on the YouTube channel. Some of the information can be found on the Internet and some of it is common sense, but there’s also a well-plotted strategy route that really does give you results. I was making just over $40 per hour writing for content mills before this book, but I’ve gotten up to just over $55 an hour using the Content Writing 101 eBook. – Lynn Stevenson, New York

I initially thought I was buying a book on writing for Demand Studios, and even questioned Mr. Anderson in an email regarding this fact, but as he pointed out (and I eventually read later on in the book) this isn’t a book dedicated to one content mill. Instead, this is a how-to manual on increasing your profitability at all the content mills you work with. I’m still training my dictation software, but I’ve already seen a seven dollar per hour boost in my productivity with the help of Content Writing 101. – Pat McKennet, Texas

This is a book for professional writers who are flexible in their working environments. Writing for content mills isn’t for everyone, but for those of us who understand the principle of “you need to spend money to make money” utilize an array of tools to help us remain at the top of our game. Content Writing 101 is a perfect example of this, and the variety of tools and strategies within are targeted towards helping you make more money. – Boris Petranovo, California

One of the most impressive parts of the book was seeing nearly $8,000 of profit in a six week period using nothing more than a single content mill. I saw the screenshot in one of the newsletters for Complete Writing Solutions and decided to check out the videos…after that it was all history. I live abroad like Mr. Anderson does and that kind of money pays for my bills for the whole year. I haven’t quite managed to break $60 per hour yet, but I’ve hit $58 on a few different days. Definitely works as long as you understand the principles. – Arnold Lipner, Panama.

I was one of those who was on the DMS forums when he first announced the Content Writing 101 book and remember thinking it was a scam at first. But after I watched the first three parts of his video series I realized that it wasn’t just a scam but an actual reality. It’s a lot of footage, but it’s worth taking the time to watch. And what you see in the videos on YouTube are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the actual strategies in the book. – Thomas Phillips, Quebec

I’ve been struggling with my content writing for the past two years and have been normally making between $15 and $20 per hour at the places I write. A friend of mine recommended the YouTube videos to me and after I saw the process I was about to double my productivity with Demand Studios and a couple of other places. I haven’t quite hit $50 yet, but I’m getting close to $45 per hour and I’ve only been using the methods for about a month. I’m sure I’ll hit it soon! – Stephanie Caldway, United Kingdom
