Where to get content in 5 minutes

Recently, I was struggling to find new content for my subscribers in the hobby niche market.

It’s been almost a week and I’ve haven’t email anything to them. You see, each week, my freelance writer will write an article for that niche but somehow, she didn’t write. So now, I got to find a good content to send out by myself.

But writing articles will take way too long and with my limited knowledge of that niche, it’ll take hours.

So here’s how I get valuable content in less than 5 minutes, dead simple but highly effective:

Go to http://www.blinkx.com/

Use video of others as your content instead of writing an article!

Enter the keyword of your niche and Blinkx.com will pull out related videos in seconds.

Whatever is your niche, it’s highly possible you’ll find real content or ‘how to’ videos that you can use for free. Take that video and post it on your blog or website.

If you’re in the ‘cake baking’ niche, there will be videos showing how to bake a cake.

If you’re in the self help niche, there will be clips of seminars where the speaker is doing the presentation.

If you’re in the car niche, there will be all sort of stunts, how to repair car or funny videos.

Got the point?

Once I’ve done this, I sent out an email to my subscribers to watch the video on my blog. Not only it’s instant free valuable content, my subscribers enjoyed it more than reading the dull articles each week!

And it gets even better. My blog is getting free traffic from YouTube.com (the video was found from Blinkx.com) because my blog’s url got embedded in the video at Youtube.com.

Let me explain. If your niche is about cake baking and you use this video on your blog,

(Note: This is not the video that I use for my hobby niche market.)

As you can see, this video has been viewed 124,018 times – it indicates that the video is getting free traffic. When you use that video on your blog, your blog’s url might appear at Youtube.com’s Statistics and Data.

Look at the Statistics and Data

Go to http://youtube.com/watch?v=yJPHGtF1F7g now and check. The fifth place, which is only 25 clicks – it’ll be a piece of cake for you to overtake this spot because when you drive traffic from your subscribers to watch your video on your own blog, I believe that you’ll have more than 25 viewers.

I hope today’s sharing of another research result of mine is helpful to you and your internet business. If you’ve find value in this quick case study, please leave a Comment or feedback? Needless to say, I will definitely appreciate it because I read all Comments personally and gotten the chance to know you at the same time. icon smile Where to get content in 5 minutes
