Voxant Newsroom High Quality Content For Web Publishers: Q & A - Tutorial

At the request of one of my community forum members, I am providing more in depth information about how Voxant News Room can provide high quality content for website publishers.

As you can see from my previous post, I included content from Voxant Newsroom Media without explaining how it works. I had full intention of doing this earlier, however, Columbus Ohio was swept by a strong wind storm and we were without electrical power 4 to 5 days. The storm was so severe, a State of Emergency was declared. For the most part all power has been restored. Now, let’s get back to the subject at hand.

Voxant Newsroom Questions & Answers

What is Voxant Newsroom?
A resource for website publishers who want to embed quality, licensed news content on a wide variety of topics.

How Does It Work?
- Find the News at their website, of course): search by categories from top sources.

- Embed It:embed the news onto you website or blog.

- Build Community: attract more visitors to your site and help keep visitors there AND get paid too from advertisements ran on content.

Picture this: As the publisher of a site focused on politics, you find a news clip in the Voxant Newsroom on an issue that your viewers are passionate about. You simply embed the clip on your website - it takes less than a minute - and your viewers have live access to the story on your site. There is no linking to external sites to view the content, so your users stay right on your page. When they view the clip on your site, a brief advertisement plays and you share in the advertising revenue.

Social Networking Article for Internet Marketers

I came across a very useful site belonging to Elizabeth MeGee who offers a boatload of free resources for Building A Home Business. Elizabeth's site has some very informative and useful guides for online marketeers. I have included one of her articles below:

Social Networking & the Internet Marketer

Social networking sites like Facebook, Myspace and
Sumpleupon, just to name a few, aren't just for the internet
socialite any more.  They've captured the interest of many
an internet marketer as well, and why not?  It's the
perfect way to network, meet colleagues and form valuable joint
ventures.



In a nutshell, these social watering holes can help get the
word out about you and your business at nearly warp speed
because of the huge volume of visitors they receive.



But how can these sites actually benefit the online
marketer?  Well, for starters they allow you to create
your own dedicated personal pages where you can add things like
product or service reviews, articles, ratings, comments and
encourage feedback from other readers. 



Furthermore, sites like Del.icio.us and Digg take it a step
further by allowing you to save your favorite links to your own
website or blog pages so it can be readily shared with anyone
visiting your site.  This not only gets the word out about
you and your business, it goes a long way in helping establish
relationships, credibility and trust.



But what's really behind all the social networking
popularity?  It's the search engines, of course.  All
the biggest and best search engines love these socialite sites
because they contain relevant and fresh content.  If we
take a look at the Alexa rankings for a few of the more popular
social sites we can see how impressive their ratings are:




  • MySpace - ranking below 10


  • Facebook - ranking below 10


  • Del.icio.us - ranking below 520


  • StumbleUpon - ranking below 350 


  • Digg - ranking below 180



Having your web site's link on any one of these popular
social sites has the potential for increasing your site's worth
and popularity on the internet.  But let's take a closer
look at some of the benefits: 



- Viral Marketing
Use the 'tell a
friend' link found on the social networking sites.  These
links have the potential of weaving your message throughout the
net.  If you've written an article, made an interesting
comment or perhaps announced some news, this is how you can
virally spread that content across the web. 



- Back Link Generation

Because the search engines have found favor with social
networking, you can improve your search engine positioning and
ranking simply by becoming a member of any of the social
networking sites.  Begin by creating a comprehensive
profile that contains your website's URL and RSS feed.  If
you can keep your website's content fresh and interesting you
will continue to enjoy a steady stream of back links.



- Joint Venturing

This social environment is perfect for helping you extend your
marketing reach to thousands of other online business
owners.   You will have more than ample opportunity
to not only gain exposure quickly but also find businesses or
services that could easily compliment your business. 
Consequently, creating joint venture relationships becomes a
lot easier because you now have access to important information
on how to reach relevant marketers.  This makes it perfect
for assisting you in sharing advice, leads, content and
more.



Now that you can see the marketing potential of social
networking, how can you as an internet marketer actually use
these sites to your advantage? 



- Market Yourself, Not Your
Products
 


Your main objective should be to attract like-minded
individuals with similar interests, goals and concerns. 
Do this by creating an effective personal profile and lead in
with your personal story or information about YOU, not your
business opportunity. Write in a way that helps your reader
become familiar with who you are and what your goals are. 
Blatantly promoting your products and/or interests is a sure
way to turn off readers.



- Contribute Your Ideas and Comments
Often


Continue to look for ways to help your readers achieve their
goals or resolve their problems. This is best done by
contributing useful ideas and information. Sites like YouTube,
Photobucket and Flickr allow members to post videos and
pictures, which are seen by millions of users daily. Got a
training video?  Perfect.  People love the ease of
watching a good training or even amusement video. Get it on
YouTube and you have the potential to attract
thousands. 



- Incorporate the Social Plug-ins


If you use Wordpress as a content management system,
incorporate plug-ins like 'Add This' or 'Share This'. These
plug-ins enable your site's visitors to bookmark your website
with just one click. Getting bookmarked by as many users as
possible will improve your search engine rankings. 



- Use Your Time Wisely

Beware; social networking can be addicting, not to mention time
consuming.   Not everyone with an internet business
has all day to while away the hours peeking at new friends,
adding comments and making small talk.  For this reasons
time management is critical.  Start by selecting only a
few social networking sites, and allot only so many hours a
week to connect with friends and participate in
groups.   Develop an objective for using these sites
and stick to your objective.



A Final Word


No business can stand alone on the internet.  Your
business and marketing success depends on the connections and
networks you create.  Using social networking is designed
for making such connections, so use them wisely.

How To Start Living On Green Energy

Affordable Way To Fight High Energy Bills
As the "energy crisis" becomes a focal point in our country, I have joined the ranks in finding ways I can personally contribute to the “going green” cause. With gas and energy costs on the rise and no reduction of costs in sight, I have decided to take a more proactive role in this area. Although economics and finances certainly play a role in my decision, I can not think a better issue to tackle and care about, for the sake of my grandchildren’s future, than trying find ways to help with energy concerns and global warming.

I, like many of you realize we can not just expect our government to solve this huge monster of a problem we face when it comes to our energy situation. This is one ”Ogre” that is bigger than our government can handle on its own. Yet, if each one of us, one by one, become genuinely committed to making some sacrifices and changes in our lifestyle and daily lives, we CAN make a difference!

Let’s decide to learn more about and seek new ways where we can lessen our dependence on oil, seek new energy alternatives, rid ourselves of addiction to fossil fuel and see how we can make better use of renewable energy sources.

What do I know about energy alternatives and renewable energy sources? Not much right now. I grew up in a small, rural Ohio community, Meigs County. It was a coal mining town for years, which is how my family ended up there from West Virginia. According to the account from my mother, my father, a coal miner all his life, heard about work there, they packed the family up and off they went. Unfortunately, my father had “black lung” when he died. The only fortunate part of this is, I was able to use his “black lung” benefits which helped support me when I went to college. I do know how some communities thrive on coal mining to support their families and as changes evolve, they will be impacted.

In Columbus, where I live now, many have opted for mass transit to alleviate some their finances from the extremely high gas prices. Places like Meigs, Gallia and Athens counties do not have these options available. Our Ohio Governor (Ted Strickland) his hometown of Portsmouth is not far from the region I grew up, so I am sure he is fully aware of transit restrictions. These parts have farmers who rely on their land and farm equipment to provide a living and many others who have no option but to use their own personal vehicles traveling to other nearby counties to support their families.

So, as I was researching to learn more about my new found mission, I came across an author, Andrew Oke, and one of his web sites that discussed Renewable Energy Solutions. My attention was drawn to this site because he was expressing his love for country living for he and his family. He and his wife had a dream to build a house in a rural area because she loved to farmed. As part of that dream, they wanted to “live-off-grid” (without an electric utility bill). The couple came to realize their dream and have now “lived-off-grid” for 14 years.

Andrew Oke does not paint himself to be a “rocket scientist.” In fact, his guides are “non-tech” and simple to understand. The point I want to make here is, Oke shares with others how to build a 1,000 watt Homemade Wind Generator with no special tools and no experience for under $150 instead of a commercial cost of about $2,500. He has been living free of an electric bill for 14 years and hundreds of families have duplicated his success. Below is a sample of the Guides provides:

Build Your Own Wind Generator Guide
Describes how to build a 1,000 watt generator needed to power an Off-Grid- Home for under $150 versus paying $2,500.

Solar Panel Installation Guide

A guide to help you build and install your own solar panels.

Run Your Generator on Biodiesel
A guide that explains the fastest way to rid yourself of an electric bill is by powering a generator with biodiesel or water.

Renewable Energy Solutions
A start from scratch guide and learn what you need to know for educating yourself about renewable energy.

Build Your Own Home
A guide that takes you from beginning to Building Your Own Home using his energy solutions.

If you live in the country, a rural area or have farmland, you might find these guides very beneficial to starting on the path of "going green."

Extra Income System Review - For Everyday People

Financial Woes
We are being told by some our country’s finest leaders and financial experts that our economy is not yet at a recession point. Regardless of what “scientific” term defines the current economy, the reality is people’s “buying” and “paying the bills” dollars are no longer stretching to meet everyday living expenses.

Attaching a label such as “recession” to what everyday Americans are experiencing financially does not seem that relevant. Most people know without a doubt, no matter what the “politically correct” term is, when they go to the gas pump, buy food at the grocery store, pay the mortgage-rent and utility bills or pick a small gift up for their children and grandchildren; their income is no longer adequate.

Then to “add insult to injury” some financial experts out there are still advising the “average person” to put six to twelve months of their living expenses in savings for emergency purposes. Don’t get me wrong, this all sounds like very good, practical advice. However for many people, barely scraping by (possibly one pay check from bankruptcy or foreclosure) this advice does not seem so practical at the moment. This poses the question, where is the everyday person, who is most likely working full-time, going to find some extra income?

Extra Income Options
Finding an answer to this question was vitally important for me because I am one those people transitioning from the mortgage related industry because of the subprime meltdown, bank closures and tighter lending guidelines. For the past week, I have been reviewing and researching various ways to supplement income because I need to put something in place quickly!

I found there are so many methods out there claiming you can receive extra income online and I am sure I did not even scratch the surface. Some were ruled out as scams, others were just too ridiculous to believe, and there were legitimate ones, yet these programs required a large investment upfront of either time and/or money...AND that just is not feasible for most people.

Project Pay Day System

Finally, I came across a particular “make extra money online” opportunity called Project Pay Day and I became very enthusiastic not only for myself, but also for others who could use it to generate more income to help their money matters.

Unlike, many of the unrealistic “make $1,000 a day” ads you see on the Internet, I found Project Pay Day to be one income source that could benefit average everyday people. You won’t “get rich” but thousands of people have proven it is a realistic extra income system for the “Average Joe.” Desirable Features of the System were:

* Easy straightforward instructions and guidance.
* Short length of time to implement and get started.
* Training videos with clear step-by-step instructions
* Low or ZERO cost to get started

Below is an introductory video for Project Pay Day. Take a few minutes to listen and review it. As always, feel free to post your comments.

NOTE: Project Pay Day is available in the United States and Canada only.

Check back often! I will be locating and recommending further credible extra income sources in an attempt to ease financial hardships for everyday people.

The fastest way to benefit and get paid from Project Pay Day is by having an active PayPal account which takes a few days to get verified. If you need an account you can sign up for one below.
