Content is one of the most important, powerful, and demanded things in the web marketing game. The more content, your blog or site has, the more SEO power you will have and more traffic you will get. This also means more money from either advertising that is on your page, similar affiliate products you might be selling, or your own products.
I have a few ideas of getting content that I’d like to share about getting free content by leveraging other people. I somewhat stumbled on this idea.
- Use Visitors Questions for Content– A great way to blog is to take questions from your visitors and reply to them. I have about 5 people asking me questions everyday and I am constantly writing back to them in paragraphs worth of content. Why not use this and build up your website? Get double the benefit from it.
- Be Creative to Build Free Content– Another way I found, is to offer something free (maybe 1 in a 100) but have the person fill out a form with detailed information. A lot of them will write a paragraph of content. Paste this along with your response on your website.
Legality of Leveraging Content
This may not be legal and you could find yourself getting sued if the person emailing actually finds it and is made about it. A way to get around it may be to just state in your terms of use for the site, that any emails will be publically posted on the website.
But I am not a lawyer so its best to get legal advice.
Making It Easy for People To Submit Content To You
I found that a great way for people to submit you content is to make a form on a particular page. One of my techniques to sending traffic to these forms is to post a video. I use my video marketing services to build up a lot of attention to stuff like this. The video gets thousands of videos and hundreds of free content pieces to use on my site.
Automating Content Publishing
There are some great ways that you can automate this content being published and I will write up a post for that soon. This is make things easy and save a bunch of time, while preventing you from slacking on taking advantage of this free content.
