Buying content, or writing it yourself?

[Guybrush]

Now that the uni semester is almost over, I can finally get back at being a "wannabe blogger". Maybe I can finally get my blog up n running. Lol Haven t visited this site regularly in about 7 months.

How does this sound -- Once I start blogging, I'll split the work...Half is my content, and half is outsourced. I'm not a confident writer, as I tend to overcomplicated. So, 50-50 sound like a good plan?

Hmm... inteliggent strategy Bubble. I too could use a holiday or two one in a way.

This way I get a day off, make friends and get more time to do a little marketing.

Nail on the head for me, the content needs to grab you and if its produced by someone who just sees the paycheck at the end this is going to be reflected in the writing.

I love writing, so i think i'll be writing my own, aside from that it saves me money when buying contents.

I have bought content when first starting out so my poker site had enough content to compete, but now I write it all and it means I get up at 5.00am breakfast write an article then go to work. Come home work out, eat then write another bed by midnight. Yes I am single and suffering for my art.
