Affiliate Compass - Finding Good Content

Public Forums are filled with people who know moreabout any given topic than you do. While you can’tplagiarize what they are saying, you sure can learn alot from them. If you don’t understand somethingthere will be people there to help you and you can learna lot in various forums on a subject you are interestedin.When I come up with a new niche idea, or concept for acontent site, one of the first things I do is go toSitepoint.com. A few hours reading through Sitepointcan be worth several thousand dollars in ideas.There are also other great forums, but when it comesto internet marketing there is none better than the“Warrior Forum”http://www.warriorforum.com/forumThere are many places like Nichetastic that sell entirewebsite packs, or that sell the “guts” of an idea, orother freelancers who have article packs.Also, if you are looking to get a whole lot of content allat once or find resell rights items to sell with readymade websites and articles, go tohttp://www.dotcomsuccess.com.Check out the full packages, as there is a lot of greatcontent and it is well worth every penny of the price of18the membership charge. The cost of membership willbe much less than spending on items separately.Another place to get exactly what you want written is inforums. Just ask for writers to give you bids on contentabout “so and so”. You can also go to places likewww.Elance.com or www.Scriptlance.com and get100’s of writers, programmers, and editors bidding onyour project.Just BEWARE – you get what you pay for. Many “low”bids will just be stolen work and could be considered‘duplicate content’ by the search engines. Make sureyou use Copyscape (www.copyscape.com) on anythingyou buy to see if the work is stolen or is already online,BEFORE you pay.Realize that no one is an expert on everything. Thereare thousands of people that know more than I wouldabout a million things. When it’s time to write somenew content on something I’m not very familiar with, Istart reading blogs, forums, and articles on the topic.
