Subject: How the Masked Guru makes money


Recently, I've been snowed under with emails from subscribers
asking if I will actually ever recommend anything, rather than just
expose stuff. What these emails are really asking, of course, is
'Masked Guru, how do YOU make money?'. Because replying
individually to these questions has become a bit of a drain on my
resources, I thought I might send out a general email to you all,
explaining one of the ways I make a shed-load of money with very
little effort.

Let's start at the very beginning: product + traffic = sales.

"I already knew that", I hear you cry. Maybe you do, but I bet you
don't know how to implement it, end-to-end. The easy bit is
choosing a product to promote - even the lame ebooks I review
usually get THAT right.

The hard bit is figuring out how to get the traffic to your site in
order to actually make the sale. Here's the answer.

UNIQUE CONTENT IS KING.

have you figured out what the most important word in that phrase is
yet? That's right. UNIQUE. Everyone else thinks 'content is king'.
Content is king ONLY if it is UNIQUE. Sorry to labor the point, but
it's vital. Critical. Crucial.

The world is full of wannabe internet zillionaires cutting and
pasting PLR articles or stuff they got from ezine articles onto
their blogs, websites, and email lists.

Do they make any money? No. Why? Because everything they post has
already been posted 50,000 times by competitors. There's no reason
for any search engine, therefore, to favor THEIR sites, when
everyone else has the exact same content.

Why doesn't everyone simply post UNIQUE content then? Because
finding UNIQUE content is tough. You can either write it from
scratch yourself, manually 'manipulate' PLR articles, or pay
someone else $5 a pop to write it for you. However you do it, it's
going to cost. Time, money or both. And before you mention it,
'content spinners' (with one exception) are useless. You can't
'jetspin' your way to uniqueness, you can't 'synonym replace' or
'markov' well enough to fool a search engine, or a human visitor
for that matter.

So what's 'the one exception'? It's an online 'content wrangler'
that actually DOES work, and creates UNIQUE content that is
actually readable, and not markov jetspun gibberish. It's based on
freemoneybot technology, but costs almost nothing. It's called...

www.CONTENTBOSS.COM

To understand why content wrangling is so important, let's first
recap about so-called content spinners. These fall into 4 main
camps. First, the 'gibberiser'. These use a thesaurus to replace
words with synonyms, but because the english language is so
complex, you always end up with gibberish. This class of spinner is
the reason why you keep stumbling over blogs and sites that contain
rubbish.

Here's one I found today - "Credit cards is to be evermore
persons good acquaintance addition of interested rate" it begins,
and gets worse. It actually started out as an OK article from one
of the major article directories, but was then 'spun' by an article
spinner of some kind, probably the one by that indian guy.

The second kind is the 'jet spinner'. These require you to write
multiple versions of your article, and insert all manner of weird
brackets and curly lines so that the spinner can randomly select
chunks of it, so creating 'unique' articles.

While these do exactly what they say they do, they take AGES to
set up - every article you create needs multiple versions of each
paragraph. Your brain will hurt, your fingers will bleed, and of course,
they don't fool the search engines. The 'technology' behind them is
about 5 lines of code. Which is why you tend to find them free online,
in exchange for an email address, of course.

The third kind is the 'markov chain' system. These use a simple
algorithm to generate multiple 'near english' versions of a base
piece of text. They actually generate total gibberish, and are good
for nothing but creating weird hippy poetry. If you want to try
one, there are plenty online. You'll be wasting your time, of course.

The fourth kind is the type that inserts control characters in your
text, the idea being that this makes the text sufficiently
different to 'fool' a search engine, while appearing identical to
the original to a human. Of course, these are about as much use as
a chocolate teapot, and all they do is alert the search engines to
the fact that you think you are some kind of badass black-hatter.
Typically, only newbies would buy something as obviously silly as
this, which is why you mostly see them advertised on beginner forums.

So do you have to rewrite everything by hand then? NO.

Do you have to hire 'article experts' to rewrite them for you at $5
an article? NO.

You use the only REAL article rewriter system that exists. The same
content wrangling technology, in fact, that I use to rewrite my
articles at the touch of a button.

www.CONTENTBOSS.COM

Using this technology, I can pump out hundreds of UNIQUE articles,
without touching a single key. I don't have to add silly braces,
specify word replacements, or any other crap, I just *click a
button*. I generate READABLE content that is UNIQUE. In fact, it's
so good, I've even taken entire articles by other people, run them
thru ContentBoss, and ended up with something so different that
it's actually a new article, that belongs to little old me. Using
ContentBoss wrangled content, I've been able to sign up for article
sites, join affiliate programs, even sign up for Adsense accounts.
Try doing that with 'spun' content!

It has another major feature too, like the 'article wizards' you
can buy for a hundred bucks, it can automatically find you content,
and make it unique, simply by specifying a few search words (e.g.
'credit cards') and clicking a button. Any PLR stuff I post, I run
thru ContentBoss first, as a matter of course. In fact, I'd go so
far as to say that if you use PLR stuff in any way whatsoever, you
NEED ContentBoss.

Gotta be expensive, right? The bad news is that the monthly
subscription is pretty hefty. The good news is that the nice kids
at ContentBoss have given me a voucher code that gets you
membership at a MASSIVE discount to the standard monthly rate.
Unfortunately for me, this isn't an affiliate link, so I won't make
any money if you sign up using it. Maybe you'd recommend me to your
friends, or something in return for all this knowledge

here's the link.

http://www.contentboss.com/

So now you have no excuses. You can create UNIQUE CONTENT for a
price so small it's effectively free, and you can stick this up on
your blogs, websites, wherever. After a while, the bucks will start
to roll in, and you too can look down your nose at those plebs
still uploading duplicate content, or wasting their lives
hand-wrangling PLR articles. Or maybe you will even be able to
afford to automate the process, which is, of course, when you will
begin to make the REAL money (it's what I do, of course, most of my
wrangling is automated these days using ContentBoss's "Big Brother").

Phew. My brains are now empty. Catch you later, alligators.

Thank you for Sharing Scarlet, any chance that discount code is something he shared with you or we can get a hold of? lol.

I'd give it a shot if so. Let me know if I should just contact him directly.

Thanks regardless!

nice...Thanks a lot!!! Thats a great price for unique content

use the 'thanks' button, peeps.
that's what it's there for.

So The Scarlet Pimp, have you used this yet? Anyone else used this?

BTW thanks for the discount offer.

i just got it yesterday.
and right now i don't
have a use for this
kind of service.

btw, if you haven't joined
the masked guru's mailing
list you should do so. he has
some interesting and very
scathing reviews of the
make-money-fast programs
you often see advertised.

Hi.

I'm pretty much interested in this service, but i just want to make sure whether this service worth or not. Anyone here have any experience with ContentBoss? because if this service is really worth it then i'll definitely join the membership.

Thanks.

Ok, I'll try it.

With the code, it'll just be a small investment.

Shouldn't take long to see if it works, I'll be back with a review shortly.

Ok, this software is simple stupid for the user----> Just like I need it.

Once signed in there is a content wrangler button to the left at the top. You click it and an empty box comes up for you to paste in your article.

Below the empty box is:

0 / 5000 characters used - (cannot use more than 50000 characters unless you split the article and paste each part)

?? paraphrase%
A by relevance / by random sentence (drop down list) box
obfuscate
preserve links
reserved words
wrangle

Now below is a quick start guide for the info above: (Note - there is a detailed manual if you want)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
quick start guide:

cut'n'paste any text you like (up to 5,000 characters) into the BIG box above, set your options, and click the wrangle button. Here's what the options do:-

paraphrase% is the percentage of the original text you want returning. So, for example, if you set it to 30, the system will only return about a third of the original article. It defaults to 50%. The system paraphrases in one of two ways, that you can select from the drop down list, i.e.

by relevance / by random sentence (drop down list) allows you to set how the paraphrasing is accomplished. By relevance means that the system will analyse the text and try to extract the most important x% for you. By random sentence means the system will include or drop each sentence randomly, to try and return a random amount of text roughly equivalent to the paraphrasing percentage you specified. This will result in a more 'different' piece of text, at the expense of textual cohesion.

obfuscate means apply automatic content re-writing. This is 'on' by default.

preserve links means attempt to keep embedded HREFs intact. Use this if you have embedded links in your text that you don't want to lose. Some links (for example, badly formed URLs) won't be preserved. Also, if you paraphrase, links may be lost.

reserved words are words or phrases you DON'T want replaced (separate them with commas). E.g. if you want to keep a bunch of financial words in the article, you'd enter something like credit cards,mortgages,loan rate,credit consolidation etc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All I did was grab an article on the net and paste it in the box, from there I set the paraphrase at 100% because I wanted to use the whole article, if I had only wanted content*boss to return 50% of the article to use I would have put 50% or 75% etc..

Then I clicked the Wrangle button and below is what it returned. PLEASE NOTE I did 2 versions one with relevance sentence and one with random sentence.

I ran these new articles through the following plagiarism sites and these are the results:

- plagiarismdetect(dot)com = passed
- articlechecker(dot)com = passed
- reprintwriters(dot)com = passed
- duplichecker(dot)com = I think it passed
- dupecop.com = says articles are about 32% original

I can't say whether the above plagiarism sites are worth a damn or not but I run all my articles through and have not had any problems.

Below are the articles, I hope this helps. I am not affiliated in any way with content*boss, I offer no link and I am not recommending the software. These results are based on my research.

Thanks for reading.

ORIGINAL:

Especially beginning in the 1970s when the oil shortage started, the dawn for the development of alternative sources of energy started. The clamor for tapping the hidden power of nature has again come to a new momentum especially with the recent oil price hikes around the world and the call for putting stop to the worsening condition of global pollution.

The renewed concern for the use of alternative resources also came as scientific studies have concerned that the possibility of a cataclysmic global climate change is in the offing. Since man discovered the power of nature to provide him energy the following sources have been seen to be of virtually no dangerous effect to the environment: solar, wind, tidal, hydroelectric, and geothermal. Aside from providing energy at no cost to the environment, these sources are renewable and do not run out unlike fossil and coal energy sources that will eventually be all used up in due time.

The earth for energy promotes the first two as the easiest and most convenient way to tap natural energy resources without having to build huge plants. As long as the sun shines and the wind blows, we can never run out of electricity for our homes and even eventually for our cars even if the oil deposits of the earth have all been used up. Solar energy conversion is simply done through a solar panel with semiconductors that catches the power when struck by light. Wind power on the other hand is harnessed through a windmill whose blades when rotated by wind powers turbines that create electric energy. Yes, right in the comfort of your backyards, you can tap energy from the sun and the wind through easy and homemade instructions even at a very limited budget. Earth 4 energy provides manuals that can be purchased online.

These manuals contain easily understandable instructions on how to go about making your own solar power system and windmills. You ca now say goodbye to your huge electricity bills and even store energy from the sun and the wind for future use. The step-by-step guide also have colorful illustrations that will provide you a simple and doable process at a very affordable price a lot less than what you usually spend on your monthly electricity bills. The good thing is, the process gives you expert ways that will help you build your own solar power system and windmills that will look like they were made by a professional. There is also a segment that teaches you how to get a device to store the energy that you harnessed from these two sources. This makes it ideal for future use such as camping and other outdoor activities for your family and friends.

Aside from saving hundreds of dollars on your monthly electric bills, the earth 4 energy manuals also will allow you to give your own contributions on the worsening environmental hazards posed by pollution. Because of this, you will be able to create for you and your family a legacy of protecting the environment, something that you could pass on to the next generation.

It's funny how the original article itself looks re-written.

Exactly. I was going to say that the re-written articles didn't read so well, but neither does the original.

I'd like to see a little more testing of the content starting with some truly original materials.

I use an in-house program for "jet spinning" where you write a sentence with optional words or phrases in curly brackets like this: "He {said|told me|informed us} he was leaving" and with that method the results are always 40% to 80% unique at dupcop and the articles always look like a decent writer created them, not software.

I'm not trying to knock this or anything, but looking at what bactboats provided above I'm not overly impressed, it appears the system is doing simple replacements and the spun versions don't read like they were written by a native English speaking human. But that could be because the original piece isn't the greatest too.

I can say that "jet spinning" doesn't take "Ages" to setup like their message claims, I can churn out 25 new versions of an article in under 10 minutes.

Anyway, I'd love to see some more examples of content from this to see how they really stack up, if they're half-way decent it's probably worth the money, but if they're all like the examples above then it wouldn't be to me since those spun articles would need some manual editing before I'd try publishing them anywhere good (my own sites, eZine, Squid00 and etc.) and that defeats the purpose.

Hey PauloPT and MontyzPython, I grabbed that article from ezine*articles.

I guess it just goes to show even a poorly written article gets accepted there every once in awhile.

And thanks for your test. Comparing to the original, the first article has a 31.9% of originality, and the second one has 29.2%. What's a good percentage for an article to be considered original?

I see what ScarfMichael is doing, he wrangled each paragraph where as I wrangled the whole article at once.

I apologize for the poor review as it took maybe hour and a half from purchase to review post as I was most interested in the plagiarism issue to start.

Click to expand...

PauloPT I do not know what % is correct for an article to be considered original?

Also scb335 had mentioned jet spinning, content*boss allows use of a jet spinner and will pick apart random phrase and built sentence. Here is what they say:

"unlike Content*Boss, most so-called 'article rewriters' do nothing of the sort - they require you to input curly braces and word alternatives, seperated by vertical bars, a process that can take hours per article. This is commonly called 'jet spinning', and for your convenience, Content*Boss supports it - any 'jetspinner' constructs in your text will be evaluated BEFORE actual wrangling takes place. You can, for example, enter text of the form:-

the {quick|fast|speedy} brown fox jumped|leaped|hopped} over the {lazy|sleepy|lethargic} dog

and when you click the 'wrangle' button, the system will first preprocess down to a (randomly) chosen alternative such as:-

the fast brown fox hopped over the sleepy dog

before finally wrangling it into something like this:-

The fast brown fox jumped over the tired dog.

why would you want to use jet spinning? It can be a useful tool if you intend to create many different versions of the same piece of text. The way most people do this is to create an article and make 2 or 3 different versions of each parapgraph. The paragraphs can be enclosed in jetspinner brackets, and when the system wrangles, it will choose one paragraph before actually wrangling. For example, you might create a base set of text like this (jetspinner syntax in red for ease of reading):-

{ This is the first paragraph. It is well written, and I'm proud of it. | Well written paragraphs are one of my favorite things. I like them so much I've created one myself. | By writing well-written paragraphs, I get much pleasure, and hopefully so do you. If by any chance you don't, let me know.} {This is the second paragraph. It's not as good as the first, but still pretty good. As you can see, it has multiple sentences in it. | This alternative second chunk of text is difficult to read, and I'm not very happy with it. | Second paragraphs should contain the 'meat' of the article, apparently. They should also be a little longer than the others. } {This is the third piece of text. The end is not far away now. | This is the final paragraph. | This marks the end of the story. }

as the wrangler 'jetspins' content first, it will extract 3 paragraphs from the above text at random before actually wrangling it. Copy the above and give it a go, wrangle it a few times to see the difference. Set paraphrasing to 100% in order to see the effect. It's worth noting that this is the only occassion when you can input more than 5000 characters of text - if you use jetspinner syntax so that the portion after jetspinning is below 5000 characters, the system will happily wrangle it, even if the base text before jetspinning is way longer than 5000 characters."

============================

Also I did not mention before that content*boss has a feature called content assistant. This feature allows you to input keywords and content*boss will gather content for you if you do not have an article to paste.

If I understand correctly This article that content*boss creates for you then needs to be wrangled. I need to study this more but I think that is the concept."

I will get serious with this software and comeback with a more detailed report this weekend as I am off to homecoming parade and the football game.

the content assistant automatically wrangles for you as it goes. e.g here's an example for 'credit cards' like it says in the manual:-

Folks frequently just pay the minimum balance as a method to improve their credit status ; this could not be a more perilous way to boost your credit report. One of these techniques is to allow them know you are thinking about moving to a rival's Credit card as they are offering a lower rate. Make sure they knows how unhappy you are about their capability to cut back your % rate comparable with your capability to pay your bill in an efficient fashion. They will generally put you on hold right away and talk with a boss to get your rate reduced.

A job loss or sickness can send your credit history south leaving you with nada to do about it. It is during these times you'll have to search a little harder to find firms that wan to cope with folk who have subprime credit. Looking the web will give one a smart idea of what types of Credit card firms will deal with subprime credit. That implies if you make timely payment it is going to be in your favor and will help increase your credit history back up. This card is employed the same way a standard Credit card is, however the cardholder must fund it before using. If the cardholder deposits $100 into the interest bearing account their card is sponsored at one hundred percent of their deposit.

That is when you look for another card that meets your immediate finance wants. Try a number of shops to the major Credit card firms and search out the best probable rates. You may also search on the web for sites that give the best Credit card ratings. This will permit you to make a financial choice that may save you hundreds if not thousands in the future. There are twelve credible Visa card firms in the market who are prepared to sign you up to earn your interest. These cards will even offer to think your prior Visa card debt to help scale back the interest you are bearing on those accounts. Visit his internet site for the most recent news on private finance, debt elimination, budgeting, visa cards and real estate.

percentage change = 75.03%


Personally, I'd say you're better off finding your own content and wrangling that - stuff that comes off the web is by definition not the best but thats just my 2 bits.
