Content Providers

Content providers are probably the most common of all online business types. With content providers you have, blogs, magazines, books.
These types of online companies generate revenue off of user base, whom are the main prospect for customers. They either monetize their content with advertisement, aka google adsense, click bank, and other forms of user ads. The other way they can make money is with affiliate marketing. This form is a more reliable way, but has its set of challenges as well.
The biggest challenge with Content providers, especially for people like me, who can't write. It's biased against people who have a lesser understanding of the language and can isolate the potential markets who can't read the language that the content is written in. Of course these problems are small, with technology today. I can have this translated in just about any language. Amazing wright? Well, I think not. That also means, more content can be translated into the language in which you compete. So every solution has it's own set of problems. But I like to find the "final solution" How can one, promote the content with out being deemed a spammer? With out spending a ton if any money on advertising? With out wasting too much time? The trick is... A lot of hard work. Instead of spamming forums, make more content to promote other content. A way to illustrate it is, Is you create a "black-hole" of content. So much good content that the users can spend an eternity reading, enjoying it all. Now, when you first make a blog, or youtube, it's extremely important to capitalize on the "splash-effect" for some reason, brand-brand new stuff, gets a "jump" in readers, for no  apparent reason. This effect has been observed on multiple platforms, Weebly, Web.com, Stumbleupon, even blogger. The fastest way to gain people is to keep creating new content. See good content can be likened to "sticky-paper" I feel too many people view it as a magnet. Were if it's good, people will come. Unfortunately, that can't be true, the internet is just too big, and the attention span is just too small. We only get one first impression. But remember, you have at least 6 billion first impressions to make. One other tip is longevity, the longer your blog has been around, the bigger the "splash-affect" you can observe. The idea is to create a big enough rock so when you drop it into a lake, you get a descent splash. Some people have machines to build rocks. But you, you just want to use a keyboard. You CAN DO exactly what a fortune 500 does, and that is with time, effort, strategy you can pay your bills.


Develope a strategy.
Owning an online company, you have several opportunities. The first thing you have to decide is, what needs to get done, and what can you do. If you find yourself like me, and can't write. Out-Source it. Or, "borrow" it. But that's a little less ethical. The other option is to practice. Practice practice practice.
Once you practice enough you have to get better at it. Good Luck-Zachariah Logan
