Thanks for the share and rep given, but it's stuff like this that gives legitimate writers a bad name.
"You don't need to know how to write!"
"You only need to spend about 4 hours to have your whole Kindle series (of 5 books) created!"
"You can outsource everything...for cheap! Which means.... No Hard Work!"
"No need to THINK..."
That isn't writing - that's a monkey sitting in front of a keyboard.

I think you meant to say - that's a "warrior" sitting in front of a keyboard.
Thank you for share rep given +5

I don't know where you earned your MBA, but it sounds more to me like a MANAGER properly running his business... hiring people who can perform the work you either do not have time to do or are not qualified to perform.
THANKS seofreak for your contribution. I am more than qualified to write, but I don't have the time and it's a better ROI to outsource. +3 for you.

I earned my MA the same place I earned my PhD - at NYU. Sorry, no MBA - I made the choice to help people instead of my wallet.
Your description still does not fit the generally-accepted terms of being a writer - a manager, yes, but don't call what you are doing writing. Call it content farming, content creation or whatever the current buzz-word is for sitting on one's butt while hiring overseas help whose scribblings cannot help but be seen as ESL.
Come on, the title alone - "
Copy Paste Mogul" - should prove my point. Copy-paste is NOT writing, it's taking the work of others and putting it together like a jig-saw puzzle.
If you "don't have time" or are "not qualified" to write, then you shouldn't BE writing. It cheapens you and it only makes REAL writers look better in comparison.
So this is the problem with the definition of writing, correct? But the WSO is good? I haven't checked it myself. Thanks!

The WSO itself is fine. It's an easy read and hits all the high points.
As you said, the problem is with my own definition of writing, but the author of the WSO himself claims:
Quote:You are NOT a “SEO guy”.
You are NOT a “web designer”.
And you are definitely NOT a “writer”.
You are an entrepreneur.
