Hello Everyone,
Welcome to The Ebook Cavern Newsletter - February 2008. In
this month's newsletter:
1)
7 Sources of Content for your Blog
In my previous articles I discussed
things you need to consider before you begin blogging. Once
you have considered these factors you should be ready to start your
blog. However, there is one more critical factor - content.
Where are you going to get your blog content from? What type
of content are you going to provide? In this article I try to
answer these questions by discussing seven sources of content for
your blog.
1) SELF WRITTEN CONTENT:-
When starting your blog you should definitely be consider writing
your own content. Why? Because it is free and it also
provides your blog with a dose of your own personality. You do
not have to write every single post yourself because this can take a
lot of time. However, there is no reason you cannot write an
occasional article or product review for your blog.
2) EBAY LISTINGS:- Since
your blog is a supplement for your eBay business it makes sense to
highlight eBay listings on your blog. Do not fill it with all
your eBay listings or your readers will quickly start to see your
blog as one big advert. However, the occasional post about one
of your eBay listings that you feel requires additional attention is
fine. For example, maybe you have a new ebook out?
Perhaps you have just listed an ebook in your eBay store which
contains some really insightful information? Your
readers are interested in ebooks too (that is why they are reading
an eBay ebook blog), so they will want to read about some of your
eBay ebooks. If done correctly, blogging about your eBay
listings can improve the appearance of your blog and generate
interest from your readers. Just make sure you do not overdo
it.
3) ARTICLES FROM THE
DIRECTORIES:- I have discussed in my previous articles how
article directories can be a great sources of traffic. Well
they can be a great source of free content too. Have a search
through the article directories for articles on the topics you are
looking to publish and then republish them. The only thing you
have to make sure of is that you include the author's resource box
so that they receive the credit for writing the article.
4) PRIVATE LABEL RIGHTS (PLR)
ARTICLES:- PLR articles are sold to a limited group of
customers (let's say 50). These 50 customers then have
exclusive rights to use these articles for web content, email
content, part of an ebook or whatever else they wish. PLR
articles can be a great way to get content for your blog quickly.
Although they usually cost a little money, they have an advantage
over articles from the directories because of their limited
distribution. Instead of publishing a directory article that
has potentially been used by thousands of people, you can publish a
relatively unique PLR article. Plus, you can make changes to
the PLR article, giving it a unique spin for your blog.
5) OUTSOURCED ARTICLES:-
If you are not happy with other people having the same PLR articles
as you and you do not have the time to write your own unique
articles, outsourced articles are an option. Simply, find a
good writer (ask for a sample of their work before agreeing to
purchase any articles) and then agree a fee per article. They
will then write unique, relevant articles which you can post on your
blog. The disadvantage with outsourced articles is that they
will cost more than PLR articles.
6) EBOOKS:- As an eBay
ebook seller you should have plenty of ebooks with resell rights and
giveaway rights stashed away on your computer. Why not give
some away on your blog? Your readers will really appreciate
getting free ebooks that they can then go on to resell in their eBay
stores.
7) YOUTUBE VIDEOS:-
Interactive websites are becoming increasingly popular and YouTube
is no exception. On YouTube you can find videos on almost
every topic including selling ebooks on eBay. All the videos
on YouTube contain code to embed the video, so all you have to do is
copy and paste this code into a blog post and voila - you have video
on your blog.
I hope these seven sources of content
prove useful to you and your blog. Even if you are not running
a blog related to eBay and ebooks, many of the ideas above can still
be applied. Now that you have the sources you just need to
take action. Start posting today and watch your blog grow.

In the spirit of my current blog
related 'eBay Ebook Success' articles, this month's review also has
a blogging theme. The product I have reviewed is Rob Benwell's
Blogging to the Bank 2.0. In this ebook Rob explains how to
create a blog and fill it with content, monetise the blog and then
drive traffic to the blog. Overall, I found Blogging to the

blogging more serious.
