Create Web Content by Interviewing Experts

Don’t know how many of you have done this but one of the simplest and fastest ways to create web content is by doing interviews of experts in their niches.

For one thing, it’s a quick way to come up with an information product. The interview itself would probably take an hour or so. Of course, you do have to do preparatory work like setting up the actual interview and if you’re not too cognizant of the subject matter, you need to do some research in order to appear knowledgeable and professional to your interviewee and your audience. Still and all, it’s a pretty quick method of coming up with content. If you do a series of interviews, you can come up with a nifty information product.

Another advantage of doing interviews is that it enables you to leverage content from the gurus, leverage their celebrity name, as well as their traffic. Just think about it. Your expert invested a lot of time and effort to be knowledgeable about his niche. You haven’t, but you get the opportunity to profit from his knowledge and all the years he’s put into getting the expertise he has. If you do enough interviews, in time you’ll become somewhat of an expert yourself because of all the information you’ve managed to garner. And people will start seeing you as an expert.

Most likely, the expert you interview will be happy to announce to his followers that he’s been interviewed by you and direct them to a link where they can access the interview. Most likely too, the expert will have a pretty large mailing list. When his followers start to access his interview from your site, you’ll be able to capture them for your opt-in list.

An added advantage is that you get to become an expert by association. Just think. Your name will be associated with the expert. Your name will be there right alongside his on the website. Your photo too, probably. Do your job professionally and you will be regarded as a peer by the interviewee and your status with your audience will shoot up.

These are just a few of the more notable benefits of producing interview-based web content. You’ll reap a whole lot of good in exchange for the time and effort that you invest in this endeavor. Just make sure that you do your research well so that you can come up with original, unique, and thought-provoking questions that will elicit fresh information from your expert. You don’t want to come up with a trite, ho-hum interview that will make your audience yawn with boredom and say, “I’ve heard all this before.” Your aim is to stimulate your interviewee into revealing nuggets of information that he’s been holding on to. If you are able to do that, you’ll gain a reputation as an interviewer par excellence and perfect a simple and quick method for producing good web content.

He has done some crazy stuff over the years and he
certainly knows a lot about how to make big money
online, so you need to listen this guy.

Don’t Waste Time Chasing Fables

Those of you who are dipping their feet into internet marketing for the first time are understandably gung-ho about the whole idea. You’ve read all those testimonials and articles about the huge potential for profit that this form of e-commerce affords, and naturally you can’t wait to make your first online income.

I completely understand and relate. But I’d like to offer a word of caution to any newbies reading this. When you make the decision to get into e-commerce and you start doing your research on the subject, you will very soon find yourself deluged by offers of a host of money-making products and programs. Many of these are even offered to you for free. And of course you’ll grab them. Who doesn’t love free? But it’s going to be easy to get flustered with all the resources that you now have and to decide which one to follow. Everyone’s saying something different.

A common cycle that beginning online entrepreneurs go through is something like this: They buy an e-book that promises to teach them how to make quick money online. They then realize that with the methods propounded in this book, they might make some money quickly but only if they invest in some costly advertising or buy some expensive resources and tools. So they ditch this book and look for something else. They give the replacement a few weeks, but soon get dissuaded from following through because the methods it lays out take too much time and effort. So they swing back into looking for something that promises easy riches. Somehow this product fails to satisfy, and so the search is on again for something better, something different.

This scenario may sound ludicrous but, believe me, many have fallen into this pattern. Only after having spent a lot of time and money do they eventually wise up and get down to business for real. Others quit the whole idea as a pipe dream, believing that this whole internet marketing thing is a scam.

But it’s not a scam. People are making good revenue from online marketing. It is, however, important to realize that the people who are successful in this are those who have taken the time to learn tested and proven skills, techniques, and strategies essential for establishing a profitable online business. They took the time to sit down and separate the hype from the real. It took them effort and diligence, but in time they mastered it.

You can too. But take the time to learn. Don’t go running and chasing after every fabulous promise of easy money that comes your way. Like any business, a successful online business requires discipline and diligence.

Recession Blues Hitting You? Think Online Business.

If you're one of the many who have been hit hard by this horrific economic downturn, I commiserate. I'm sure I'm talking to the majority of you reading this right now. (For those who can't relate, how is the air up there in your ivory tower?)

There's no denying it. Times are hard. But as wise men like to point out, difficulties are opportunities to better things. Lee Iaccoca paraphrased John W. Gardner when he said: “We are continually faced by great opportunities, brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems.” Hallmark would phrase it in this manner: When a door closes, a window opens.

Okay, enough of the aphorisms. I'm sure you get my drift. (Aside from aphorisms, you will also catch a fair dose of clichés in this post. Let's play a game. Count how many you can find.) But seriously, losing my traditional sources of income has compelled me to look for other, fresh income opportunities. And one of the avenues I have been exploring is online business. I've been doing a lot of research into this, and it's for me a new, wide world that inspires excitement and hope. There seems to be thousands of ways to make money online. Daily, new markets are cropping up. There's so much to learn, but also such an enormous potential for profit.

I know there are many of you out there who are considering doing internet marketing or some form of online business as well. I will be blogging about my experiences in this area, posting resources I'm discovering, things I'm learning, questions I may have, etc. I invite anyone who's venturing into internet marketing or some other form of making an income online to join me and share your experiences too. And please, if you have extensive experience in this field, share your knowledge with some of us who may need it.

One last aphorism before I close. It's been said that opportunities are never lost; they are taken by others. I, for one, am taking this exciting opportunity.
