Information: James has just finished his move into his new home. Both James and Arlene run their businesses from the Internet and the move caused an interruption in their Internet service at home as they relocated. Arlene went to the library with her laptop and James went to an Internet café with his laptop to get things organized. Arlene’s business has been starting to grow since she started to build it as part of the online boot camp. Recently Arlene tracked down Jim Abrams of the Charlie Foundation http://www.charliefoundation.org/ (which has as its mission to raise awareness of the ketogenic diet as it relates to pediatric epilepsy) for a podcast interview. The site Arlene created has a member’s forum and Arlene has also hired Elance writers along the way so new content is being added continually. James does the same thing for his site kitcarconnection.com Hiring authors on Elance is not necessarily an expensive prospect. James talks about Elance and how simple it is to use the service. People frequently don’t understand the process and that often holds them back from posting projects. The same way in which affiliate marketers have a dream to work from home doing affiliate marketing the Elance writers dream job is to be able to write from home. You can create payment conditions where the payment is based on acceptability of the content for the project. James uses copyscape.com to verify that the content he is receiving from the authors is real. James talks about how he manages his writers and his account at Elance. James has created a tutorial for Elance and it will be available on the updates page. James talks about goals and keeping your goals in front of you. James and Charles talk about some of the “new” students to James’ online boot camp. James talks about how Elance can benefit a site from the standpoint of content.
