The first thing I did after reading this is to set some google alerts on the topic of my blog. I may or may not write about the same news stories on my blog. But I will consider those ideas for article marketing purposes. Narender @ Next Good Bets´s lastest post: Buy Low and Sell High: Why You will Not Succeed in the Long Run with This Myth?

“All you need to do is hunt down the stories that will resonate with your audience, or find a way to tie in a particular story to your niche.”

You are really on to something here. The difficult part is to understand what kind of stories your target market is interested in. Well, first of all, you have to find out who your target market are. This is the most important issue in any marketing, offline or online alike. It is first as you know who you are talking to, you know what to say and how to say it. The worst thing you can do is to try to reach everybody. This is a golden rule in marketing: “If you try to reach everybody, you�ll reach nobody.”

The more targeted you market, the better. If you are able to describe your target down to one person; on everything from what his social status is, what kind of car he drive, does he have culture or economic recourses. What I am talking about is peoples habitus. When you understand this, you can translate this to products and services, and then you need to put it in to a system. This system is called “Sosioraster”

Now we know what “hot” news to look for…

That's true... but the the problem with posting about "what's hot" subjects is that a ton of other people are also doing. So unless you've got established traffic, it's unlikely anyone will find your post... Andre Thomas's lastest post: Reeling Your Readers In (Capture Their Attention and Hang on to It)

Since the only marketing I can afford right now is viral (mostly free) I’m reading everything I can about it… I like what you’re writing here and I’m considering it for my website, http://www.MyRideisMe.com.
What do you think is the balance of original or unique content vs. something you grabbed from somewhere else? There are several popular/profitable automotive based blogs out there that really do nothing more then:
- find someone else’s unique content,
- make some witty comments on it
- grab the pics and post it all

Sure, they give credit, but most often, the hits back to the content origin site are few… (happened to me).
I appreciate everyone’s feedback!

It’s often too easy to get sucked into your own thing and scanning the headlines really keeps me in touch with what people are talking about. One site you might wanna look at it marketingvox.com

Hi Miguel,

I was just sharing this concept with a friend who for the life of him can’t get his blog to get any traction.

I sent him a link about “The World’s Largest Pool.” It’s a blog post I put up on Facebook as a test case study. And, as predicted, it got very heavy traffic and dozens of comments. It was a good example of writing about “something people actually want to read about.”

Did he get the lesson. Not even close. He didn’t even bother clicking the link. Too bad for him. He’ll continue to do what he’s always done and get the same results he’s always gotten.

If you want to see it, the blog post about The World’s First $1 Billion pool is is at:

Thanks for reinforcing my belief & intuition Miguel.

Yes, that is a great post Miguel. Sometimes I forget about that type of important information and get wrapped up in my own thing. That’s a great reminder!

Take Care

Great post. I can’t wait to check out your suggestions. I like to read Tech Crunch, they do a good job of keeping me up to date on what start ups are doing. Like this blog, it encourages one to continue to move forward and positive.
