EGADs Tapped Out?

General — Tags: — Wordpreneur @ 10:48 pm

Probably not.

But obviously I haven’t posted a new EGAD of late. Been preoccupied with something else which you’ll probably hear about eventually if all things work out, and the fact that after accumulating a good number of EGADs, coming up with something quickly without duplication is getting a bit more difficult.

EGAD #38 – Serve Affiliates

General — Tags: , , — Wordpreneur @ 11:31 pm

This idea will require a familiarity with affiliate marketing in general and specific programs whose affiliates you’ll be “serving” in particular.

Some programs just aren’t all that good at providing their affiliates with good marketing and promotional resources beyond some banners and a few token text ads and email templates, if that. Giveaway ebooks that could go viral? Yeah right.

Automating Video Transcription

In response to my Produce Video Transcripts EGAD post, Steve Kayser tweeted, “Good idea on transcripts from video. Any software to automate that? Instead of the good old headphones?”

Well, I personally have absolutely zero experience in this area. But we can probably figure something out.

EGAD #37 – Ask for Then Answer Questions

General — Tags: , , — Wordpreneur @ 11:42 pm

If you’re like me, you find it easier and faster to answer a question someone asks you versus having to come up with the question yourself first before answering it. I won’t bother going into the psychology behind this, but it’s interesting that most writers take the latter approach with their writing projects.

And many get bogged down, or even stuck before the project goes anywhere.

EGAD #36 – Readers as Contest Judges

General — Tags: , , — Wordpreneur @ 10:48 pm

A slight variation on the Idea/Tip Contest EGAD: Instead of just picking and running the “best of” submissions, run them all. And then let the readers vote on who wins “best of” honors.

EGAD #35 – Get Unique Articles From “Free” Article Authors

General — Tags: , , — Wordpreneur @ 10:45 pm

Here’s another use for those free article directories besides the EGAD #9 idea: They’re good sources of authors for original and unique niche interest content too.

Google to Its Product Teams: “Here’s How to Do SEO”

General — Tags: — Wordpreneur @ 11:10 am

When Google talks Search Engine Optimization (SEO), smart money says we should listen. But when Google tells its product teams (aka its own employees) how to do SEO, I think it prudent to drop everything and pay close attention.

IDEA: The “Online Notebook” Blog Idea

General — Tags: — Wordpreneur @ 3:27 pm

Some of you know that I love taking and keeping notes, pen-and-paper lover that I am. Used to have a bunch of little notebooks — those slim reporter’s notebooks, steno pads or small sketchbooks (my fave, since unlined paper is the bomb!) — in my briefcase or backpack. Used to, since what with much if not all of our work being pretty much online nowadays, most of my notes are now very much digital on my PC.

FYI for all you Amazon Kindle users/readers: I just soft-launched a brand new Wordpreneur subblog: Kindle Journal, featuring tips and resources for the Kindle.

There’s actually a Wordpreneur-ish idea related to this subblog that I’ll write about later or tomorrow. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, go check out Kindle Journal.

EGAD #34 – Authority Checklists

General — Tags: , , — Wordpreneur @ 11:30 am

A lot of the EGADs rely on your ability to find authorities who write. But what if your particular industry or area of interest isn’t exactly “writing oriented” — or maybe you’re just having difficulty finding people willing to do more “real” writing on top of what they already regularly pump out?
