the Roof

It's no secret that people are jumping on the Internet to
find quality content. The Top Yahoo! and Google News Searches
for 2005* alone show that surfers are interested in a variety
of topics; Janet Jackson, Hurricane Katrina, tsunami, Xbox
360, Brad Pitt, Michael Jackson, American Idol, Britney Spears,
Angelina Jolie, Harry Potter and more.
However, a constant dilemma for websites is to keep up with
quality content control. How to get traffic to sites with
credible information that will not only bring traffic but
also revenue to keep the company and site - in the
black is a major concern.
"Content site publishers need good, quality content
Very badly, and now we are giving content creators the tools
to give publishers exactly what they need," said Jack
Humphrey, managing partner in the exclusive Content Desk Charter
Members publishing group and Content Propulsion Lab partner.
And Humphrey's toolbox for quality content includes a focus
on four main tools, all encompassed in a membership site:
- Community A focus on community invites members
to share ideas & industry news, network, give and get
feedback, & help each other on a member forum, adding
an interactive dimension.Too many other content programs
focus only on tools.
- Learning Instruction via multiple methods;
audio, video, text, workshops, webinars, etc. helps more
people get the most out of content creation and syndication.
Not everyone learns the same.
- Technology Instead of purchasing a software
that will become outdated, why not join a group and subscribe
to a "team" effort. Let the membership site worry
about software updates, tech issues and keeping up with
the latest search engine and other Internet changes while
you focus on your production.
- Profits Lots of membership sites offering
tools generally include a User or Help Guide. That's it.
Why not be part of a team effort instead? An ideal model
is one where profit is the name of the game across the board
& a main focus in training efforts; i.e. a great return
on investment (ROI), where the membership site helps members
profit with more links, traffic, search engine positioning
and sales.
Humphrey's Content Desk (CD) is an Internet content syndication
center and a source of high-quality, targeted content for
webmasters with a group of professional content site network
publishers. His CD recently announced the opening of its new
cousin site, Content Propulsion Lab (CPL), the epicenter for
website owners, writers, creative people, PR specialists,
and marketing experts who want easy tools and expert training
all in one place to dominate today's Internet's "New
Media."
"New Media" marketing deals with high quality content
creation methods along with mass syndication of that content
in order to drive traffic, branding, credibility, and sales
through the roof... in any niche" explained Humphrey.
"Podcasting, massive article syndication networks, streaming
audio and video, and RSS combine to create a marketing science that is just coming
into play in a big way on the web."
Unlike Content Desk's exclusive Charter Member site that
caps membership at 400, Content Propulsion Lab has no limit
to the number of members accepted. During the official launch,
new sign ups will receive $30 off their monthly membership
fee. After the first 150 early bird spots are sold, the price
goes up.
CPL Partners with Jack Humphrey include Mark Braunstein,
Peter Lenkefi, Willie Crawford and Diana Barnum.
