I feel that there is nothing wrong with outsourcing especially when you are blogging for money as a business. You can find individuals to do writing gigs for you on sites like Fiverr.com or you can request free guest posts so that your site will always have fresh content. I use bloggerlinkup.com to offer and request guest posts.

I think most outsourced blogs are for the corporate world. as mentioned, just create a great blog and ask people to guest post.

That's an awesome book by Tim Ferris. That's one of my goals by the way... to travel the world on a perpetual vacation while working 4 hours per week. The only way that is possible is if I hit the lottery, rob a bank, join a drug cartel or outsource.

Outsourcing to the right people is awesome, to the wrong ones it's just not gonna work out. Outsourcing is an awesome long term strategy that anyone who plans to actually succeed should be considering.

Let's see, just take one example... if a doctor wanted to make more money and see more patients while working less hours, what might work? Outsourcing some of the work to someone else who is competent. A good nurse with good people skills.

There's a little humor in here but the point is, outsourcing is just good business. The long term approach to a successful business is to determine the main money making activities and spend at least 80% of your work time doing those. Outsource the rest.

Hi there, can give more specific question here?

Outsourcing is a quick way to get the blog built up without spending too much money. It's cheap, and if your time can be spent doing something more important then I'd say you should definitely outsource any work you can.
