Hi guys,
In this thread I will detail the progress of an idea I have, which I call "SEO Based News Outlet".
This will be the thread where I discuss everything about this idea, and hopefully as a reward for sharing stuff with you I will get some helpful constructive feedback.
IDEA:
A structured, automated content publishing system that publishes content based on need, driving traffic through SEO. Revenue comes from advertising.
Same idea as the site "eHow" and those other sites, but for another niche.
Content written by people hired automatically and paid automatically on Internet through content platforms.
What articles to write and publish is managed in a systemitized way incorporating SEO research and finding probable articles for receiving a lot of traffic.
FASTLANE ANALYSIS:
Need: Filling in the "long tail of the internet" and enabling people to find articles about specific searches they make that are not satisfied today.
Entry: Difficult entry barrier as it requires creating the "automation" of SEO research and content writing. Will require me to write all the articles in the beginning, until I have enough revenue to outsource content creation to third party platforms.
Control: I have full control since I own the website and the system.
Scale: All English-speaking people. Can eventually be translated into local languages using automated translation services (at a cost of course).
Time: Can be automated if margins are viable. I will have to research this aspect further but since companies like "HowThingsWork.com" and "eHow" which are basically the same idea have succeeded, I think there is more than enough margin.
BASIC SYSTEM:
I will start by haiving a local folder system on my computer representing a "pipeline" of potential articles. Each folder represents a refinement and qualification of potential articles. The first folder is just SEO-research, the next folder is an idea for an article, the third folder is a half-finished article etc. until the last folder, which contains articles that have actually been published. Something like this:
10. Keyword research
20. Article ideas
30. Article proposals
40. Proofreading
50. Ready to publish
60. Published
The long-term view I am taking is that when I reach a point where revenue stream and margin allows me to, I will systematize each possible step until I have a "machine" which automatically fills in the long-tail of the Internet with content in my website.
I have also decided my specific niche, but I'll talk about that in a future post since I am right now only outlining the basic premises of the business idea.
