The evidence that content is king continues to astound! Which COULD NOT be better news for us. My suggestion, being the ever-opportunistic article authors that you are, is that if you′ve got article questions, get Yahoo! Answers.
Yahoo! Answers is a forum within Yahoo! that allows you to ask questions BY CATEGORY and have those questions seen and then answered by email. It’s a great anonymous process of sharing knowledge. Knowledge drives the net, always remember that.
But there’s a fantastic trick to Yahoo! Answers and you must do it THE FIRST TIME you ask a question. And the trick plays right into your hands as a writer.
When you ask YOUR FIRST QUESTION, mine was “How Do I Find Webmasters Who Want To Distribute My Free eBook About Article Marketing?” make absolutely sure you include additional comments about your question…because Yahoo! Answers awards points to content rich questions! This is very important because you only get one chance to ask your first question.
In fact, make sure your question is INVOLVED with text and subtext like mine was (by complete accident,)
That’s right, the more involved you get with your question, the closer to 100 points you will earn. Those points, then, will allow you to ask more and more questions. (Can you say ‘content snowball effect’?) Points are added and subtracted depending on your involvement and whether your questions get traction etc. But the key is and will be your first question. It sets you up entirely.
To put those 100 points into proper perspective, you earn 2 (two) points for ANSWERING a question. Just 2. One hundred for a rich question with details, only two for answering. Hmmmm. So you can see how much value Yahoo! places on a well crafted question…because they are in the business of delivering content! This business just keeps getting better and better for us content deliverers.
But wait, there’s more (as they like to say.)
Guess where I discovered with my own question (above)? Through a natural search I did in…Google!!!
So your questions themselves become great content which not only gives you the ability to ask more and more content rich questions, by following the advice I’ve just laid out, but those same questions also open you up to the possibility of being found through the search engines.
Incredible.
Just make sure that you concentrate on your first question to earn as close to 100 as you can (try and beat my 96!)
PS If you happen to have an answer to the webmaster question above, check out my email below. And keep asking GREAT article questions (as only you can) to get even GREATER Yahoo! Answers.
Enjoy!
