Creating Good Content For Your Blog With Little Effort
Hello Everyone,
Michael Dunlop here, founder of Retireat21 – You haven’t heard from me in a while because I just been so busy with so many projects. Since launching my new project, IncomeDiary, I have had 100s of emails from people asking me how I produce great value in my content and still only work a hour a day. Today I decided to do a quick video for you guys to share how I am able to do it, heres my top 2 tips:
- Do interviews, they take 5 minutes to do over email and make you look an authority in your niche. I get a lot of traffic and links from all around the world to my interviews because I do the with high profile people.
- My other tip is to do top lists, you will have seen some of my top lists, such as Top 30 Earning Websites and Top 30 Young Entrepreneurs. These are great because they also get a lot of love from around the world, my top lists have even been in news papers and on Yahoo and AOL news. The only problem is they take dozens of hours to produce, what I do is outsource the research and then just add an introduction.
Check out the video for more tips and how I am able to make money from it.
The video:
To our success,
Michael Dunlop
PS. Let me know what you would like me to speak about next!

Nice video I'll try this with my blog. I've wanted to set up an interview for awhile now with somebody big but haven't had the time. I'm gonna try to get one set up soon.

I love interviewing people. I've done 2 so far on my blog and they both worked out great. Not only that it provides great content, but it also allows you to get to know fantastic people. Thanks for the video mate.

I love your tips you give..they are always simple, direct, and easy to follow. One of the best things about doing interviews is getting to know people like you. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to reach out to you and then others to build those relationships. It has helped tremendously! Thank you!!

Great video Michael - valuable information. Outsourcing content generation is a great strategy and a great tip - especially when you get your site up and running and achieving some success. Transcriptions of your videos may be a nice idea for the future ~ Barry

Interesting. I have decided to jump on Interview track. I wish to do a couple of interviews every month. I think building the lists are quite difficult. I will think of them later.

If you need help creating content, you may want to consider hiring a freelance writer to help you out. I've hired many writers through elance.com and I am usually satisfied.

Lots of great advice in less than 7 minutes. I hadn't thought how easy interviews through email are, or that those are very time-efficient way to create quality content. Retweeting a post couple of times yourself was a nice tip too, which I definately have to test at some point.
