Well, I appreciate the compliment.
To be honest, I don't think I'm cut out to be a writer really. I mean, it's one thing to write a forum post with specifics in mind, and a whole different thing to write articles let alone ebooks. I don't think I have the creative capacity to write content that is engaging. I mean, I look at content that BTB or Sherb provides and the thought of writing for a living escapes real quick
What about you? Do you write articles, books, anything? How is it going and are you able to make a living out of it? Very curious
This is what I mean.. Most people will just create jobs for themselves. You need to get out that mindset. Use others to do the actual work. You at the very least do sales/manage projects. At the higher level up you get management/tech and bring funding in.
This is not always practical, for example I am a logo designer and I love my "Job" so this doesn't apply to me.

Have you done this yourself? I mean, be the middle man of clients and contractors? One thing that pops to my mind is that contractors might under-deliver or not deliver at all. How do you deal with that? I mean as a middle man, your key is the reputation you build, meaning you should bite the bullet and eat the losses? Is there anything else to consider?

Sure, that's fine, but I'm talking about people who want to be complete financial freedom.
It's completely irrelevant what anyone else has done.
Do you see that you are completely stopping yourself from succeeding?
Again, the person who will succeed with this will have already gone out there and compiled a list of potential contractors and sent off some emails. You could have done this already.
But you're thinking about problems that may or may not exist.
What if your contractor gets ill and can't deliver? What if your contractor doesn't succeed? What if you get a sale, and the client backs out? What if you get hit by a bus?
There's endless what-ifs.
The key isn't your reputation. What reputation? The key is being able to go out there and talk to people. This is just pure fear. You're imagining a scenario where you've already got some reputation, and your contractor doesn't deliver, and then you lose your reputation. This is madness. Absolute madness. You just deal with it when it happens. If your contractor under delivers you hammer him for under delivering. You don't pay him. You then find more contractors. So you lose a client? Who cares? Go out and get another client and try again.
Unless, you can right now just go and put this into action within the next hour, it's unlikely you ever will, and you'll keep surfing blackhatworld and other sites looking for the magic method or magic advice.

Very interesting topic and I can relate to this so hard. I've been that guy which was trying all the things at one time and did nothing at all.
Right now I'm trying to commit to only one thing but it was always hard for me to not to jump on the other thing..
I need to get rid of this mindset and focus on 1 business model only.. for at least full year or two or even more

How much do you pay for your domains on your new network? I'm guessing more than $500?

Between $100 and $1500

Could I skip all that stuff in your guide and just pay $500 for a domain, build on that and get traffic immediately?

I don't think you can skip all that stuff, however you can speed up things a little bit.
If you want to skip all that stuff, maybe buy already established website but that will cost something.

Yes I've written articles for my blogs and websites, nonfiction and fiction books for Amazon Kindle. I have 88 books on Amazon, 40 that I wrote and the others were outsourced to ghostwriters. However the ebooks that I was talking about are short 15 to 20 pages or 5000 words. These could be about any subject but you'd try to find a niche that was doing well and ranking high in sales.
If you don't feel confident with doing a little research and writing about, say, some type of arts and crafts for instance, rewrite something from Ezine Articles or PLR on your subject. Just change it with your spin, format and publish. Once you have the writing, formatting and publishing down, you can knock out 3 of these a week. Many people prefer short ebooks that get right down to what they want to know. You can really drill down on the subject matter on these. After you do 3 or 4 in the same general niche, you can compile them into another book and up the price.
Splish Splash would say to outsource all of this and that would be your goal. However, I would recommend doing these yourself for a while to get a feel for the steps involved. Also, you might not have the money now to outsource but that would certainly be your goal. You could even try outsourcing fiction. The right fiction niche can have big sales but of course that would depend on your writer.
You don't have to be Hemingway to do this. Feel free to ask if you want more info. Good luck.

No, lol. Not even with a $5000 domain can you skip it all.
It just changes the plan and accelerates the growth. See below.
This, exactly. If you want to skip all that stuff spend $50k on an already established site. $50k will get you a site making $1.2k-$2k/mo depending on how old it is and how it's built.
But then, you still have to do all this stuff.
Just 1 year down the line. Otherwise you've just wasted $50k because it's going to take you 2-3 years to break even. No one is going to invest $50k in a site then do nothing. They'll have say $80k set aside, and they'll buy a site for $50k and invest $5k/mo for 6 months into the site to grow it to $5k-$10k/mo and make their money back in 8 months to a year.

The realest thread I've read so far and it hurts to read because it's so true. That pain is your confirmation bias telling you "No! Don't listen there is any easy trick you just need to find it and you'll avoid all of this evil hard work".

How do you go about finding the right guest posts?

Multiple methods.
One is you can look at competitors and compile a list of all the contextual backlinks they have. Record whether it's a blog owner created or an author(ie, if it's a bigger site). If it's the blog owner then contact them, if it's the author get in touch with them on linkedin/facebook/email.
Just say to them you noticed they're linking to "blah.com" in article blah and say you have a site similar to theirs, give the site, and ask if you could either write an article for them, or have them write a new one and link to you, and what would the cost be for that. Simple. Just be up front and clear.
The second method is to look up blogs in your niche and contact them. You can use the same approach. Just look for an article with a link as close as possible to yours. If there are none then mention you have a site that would potentially be of interest to their readers, how much would it be to have a new article done with a link to your site.
