Unusual Way to Get Free Content

Wanted to check in with everybody this week about a few things.
First, I was featured by Ezine Articles as a case study here (maybe
it has some helpful insight - and you can ask me questions there,
too):

Second, I hope you've been following along with my Bring the Fresh
reviews. SO glad I was wrong about Kelly Felix changing his ways
because my "earn affiliate" site is #1 on Google and my "sushi
supplies" site is making Amazon sales already! I'm still not nearly
finished with this review, but you can follow along on my blog at:

Okay and now I have an unusual tip. Y'all might remember I started
a website for Alex Lambert (my BFF's nephew) back when he was on
American Idol, right? Well he went on to be in a Simon Fuller web
reality TV show so I kept the fan site going.
But it got too tedious to constantly update - it's a 24/7 web
stream, so there was TONS to report and fans posting all day long.
I emailed two of the biggest fans and let them know I was giving
them complete admin access so they could post on the site and
moderate comments to help me out since I was working on raising my
kids' tuition.
Those two girls have taken over! I will sometimes log in to post
something new and it tells me they're already logged in and posting
it. Amazing!
So I started thinking...what if...
What if you start a blog on a highly emotional, opinionated, or
passionate topic. You get it going and build a fan base who
comments regularly. You then give them access to post on the blog
and moderate comments.
They're thrilled because they're big fans of or are
emotional/passionate about the topic (and for many non marketers,
it's an ego boost to be in control like that). You have someone
running your site on autopilot - for FREE. They post daily content.
You work on other stuff.
Just an idea to plant in your head.
Tiff ;)
