News

News Channel.

On June 6 2008 I wrote an article entitled "Why Athletes Go
Broke". It went popular and generated 814 Diggs. This is a
fairly modest number for a front page submission. In
contrast, the actual article on my blog received 30
thousand hits. This is again, not an unusually large number
of hits from a front page submission. The real benefit is
the other search engines and blogs that pick up on this
large number of hits. This process got my post noticed by
the New York Times. The Times linked to the my blog in
their Freakonomics Section in a post entitled: Why Do So
Many Celebrities Go Broke. It was also posted in their
"Whats Online" section. The Times postings resulted in my
submission being picked up by news blogs all over the
world. This resulted in two ESPN interviews and a national
appearance on the Fox News Channel.(video below) I have
also received several offers to write for publications.

What lessons can be learned from this? There are some that
will say that this only happened because my last name is
Cuban. I dispute that assertion. I have written many blogs
that have gone front page and not generated any interest
beyond Digg. It proves that Digg does work for bloggers
even in the face of any disdain by the Digg community
towards the blogging community. I have no idea if this
disdain actually exists but I read about it frequently. It
proves that regardless of any Digg variables, content will
always be king. If you have content that is timely,
interesting and hits a "public nerve" Digg will work for
you. Digg is not just for distributing hard news around the
internet. Digg can work to distribute your thoughts on that
news as well. You just have to have something worth saying.
Digg can pull back the curtain but the audience still has
to like the show. Be original-Be timely-Be bold as a
blogger. The Digg community will stand up and take notice.

Create an Ebook Today

Ebooks are a popular type of web content which Internet
surfers like to peruse and buy on a constant basis. They
come in many different forms and are written about almost
any topic you could possibly think of. For those who are
web content producers, there are five distinct reasons why
you should create an ebook and then sell the virtual
periodical online.

High in Demand

First and foremost, ebooks are items which are high in
demand. No matter what subject you choose to write your
ebook on, there are sure to be a large number of
individuals interested in that topic. When you create an
ebook, keep in mind that the finished product will be one
which certain people will clamor to read about and know
that this demand for ebooks will help you to make money on
the content of your choice.

Ebooks Are Inexpensive to Produce

As opposed to written books and articles which are
published in bookstores and on shelves across the world,
ebooks are quite inexpensive to produce. All that one
really needs in order to write and publish ebooks is an
idea or notion to start with, creativity, a computer and a
way to virtually publish the item. When you create an
ebook you will find that the money out of your own pocket
is little in comparison to what book authors need to spend.
The inexpensive production costs is another top reason to
produce an ebook today.

Always Available to Potential Purchasers Online

In addition to being inexpensive to produce, online web
content providers should opt to create an ebook as they are
items which will always be available to potential
purchasers online. Therefore, they will constantly be
producing revenue so long as the material is interesting,
accurate and informative. This constant availability makes
it an easy source of income for those who can sit down,
write the ebook and then have it published online.

Produces More Money than Article Writing

For those web content writers who strictly stick to the
production of articles, they may want to consider creating
an ebook as this type of online writing is much more
lucrative as a whole than writing articles. The ebook
writer will spend a bit more time producing the ebook but
then the money which they will get in return for the sale
of their ebook makes it a much more worthwhile investment
than simply writing articles.

Takes Less Time than Some Other Forms of Web Content
Production Overall

Although the time it takes for one to create an ebook will
be longer than simply writing one article, when viewed in
light of the grand scheme of things, those who write an
ebook as opposed to multiple articles will spend less time
overall. Even though some ebooks will take anywhere from a
couple of days to a couple of weeks to produce, the
finished product will result in good pay which will
continue long after the writing has ceased. This cannot be
said for article writing where the web content producer is
only paid for the article once and it can usually never be
sold again online.
