Content Based Web Sites - Questions And Answers

Often, I am asked the following questions.

So, let me answer them here.


What's the best type of Web site content to make a living with?

Any content. A content based web site is best to attract the type of people with like or similar interests. If you have an area of expertise, special skills, or something you just feel passionate about, you may just share that knowledge with others via the Web and turn it into money.


Topics which allow to list the benefits of your mlm products are best. Any topic with space for stories which tell the benefits you still experience when using such products is a suitable content based web site topic for your network marketing Internet business.


You may have had one or more situations such as the one below:
Someone asked you something and had to interrupt your answer because it was more than what she expected or could take in at once? With a content based web site, nobody will interrupt you. And if it's too much valuable information for your visitors, they will come back to your site and read more.


Now you can tell the world what you know. You can tell it the way you like. That's what makes it real, that's what makes it fun. And that's the real beauty about it opens new window.


People do remember a good content based web site, believe me. Have you ever tried to remember an ad in the Web? Did you really switch on your computer to search the Web for an ad? Believe me, helpful and informative content is what people seek and remember.

Making a living with a content based Web site - How?

Lets give it an example - Red Sea Diving

I like diving in the Red Sea. One of my favorite dives is around Umm Gammar which lies south east of Shaab El Erg. I am a lazy diver and like the fantastic drift dives along the east or west side of Umm Gammar.

I had quite a number of dives with a "foggy" underwater view. A friend of mine recommended me to use a special digital underwater camera that he got his hands on. He was amazed by the sharp pictures and superior color quality especially in "foggy" water.

I bought that thing and went off to Umm Gammar in April 2006. He wasn't kidding a single bit. These photographes were more than a surprise. I'm glad I bought that camera although I had put my eyes on a different and slightly cheaper model. If you want to have a look at some of those stunning pictures click here.

That's it. Interested folks would click to the next page to see the quality of the pictures. That page could provide some technical data, tips on how to best use the product and where to get that camera if not via your affiliate link or online store.


Note: Did you notice that it really doesn't matter whether the product is your network marketing company's product? If the product is as good, people will tell and people will buy!

Tip: No need to mention your MLM or network marketing company at all. Don't even use the words 'MLM' or 'network marketing' because it will put your visitors off. It's almost impossible to build trust and relationships by bombarding visitors with network marketing opportunities right off the bat.

In "The main tasks of your online turnkey business website" I am saying that you sell best when you don't actually sell. It is best when you pre-sell. Do yourself a favor and ban all marketing and sales talk from your content based web site.


I need a network marketing Web site - How does this work?

I can totally understand your question and your worries here. so, let me tell you the following:

I dissociated myself from using a traditional network marketing web site to capture emails and leads. It's outdated and ends in a win-lose - turning into a lose-lose - relationship. Yet, the majority of network marketers keeps using those 'bad tasting' lead capture pages. Where is the win-win motive without which the majority of network marketers fails?


Any topic lends itself to blend in some stories on how you came across a special product which helped you improve a sub-optimal condition. No hype or lies needed.Be yourself, that builds the trust.


So, what does it take you to do it better? If you don't put effects before their cause and keep the cause-and-effect relationship intact, you will achieve the following:


Fact Is...

It is not you approaching your prospects. It's people approaching you.


How? By creating a content based web site with information about something your visitors have a genuine interest in. The website content creation process makes sure there are enough people who want to know.


Why does this work? When you look from your target's perspective, how do you react if someone approaches you and wants something from you - say sell you on his business opportunity? And now compare that with the opposite:

How do you react if someone just gives you something that you are interested in - without you asking him first? See - not being the prospect - your content based web site is what you give to people without you asking them first.


And if they like your site and content, they'll warm up and return and possibly buy something. People don't come for your network marketing opportuntiy or company (see the note and tip above).



Web site content - What makes you sure its valuable content?

The diving example is a special niche. And it's those niches that do the trick. Niches are profitable because not much was written about them. And that is what makes information valuable.


I highly recommend you check out "Find your website's topic (what to write about)" to make sure you find your niche for your content based web site.


Tip: Please do not rush and register a domain name. Why? Here is a valuable tip for your web site domain name registration and your selection of the right Internet business hosting provider.


Where to get that much needed valuable content?

From within yourself and that's what makes it unique and special. It wouldn't make much sense if you were to buy or subscribe to services that deliver the content - why?

First, the content would not be unique nor uniquely you (your voice). Just pulling and including content and articles like those plugin-profit sites, will be a shot into your own knee. Why?

The world gets smarter by the day and people as well as search engines do recognise automatically pulled or constructed content. Besides - you do want to tell your story - don't you?
