Looking For Great Trending News Content For Your Website?

Mike Sigers — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 03:40:50 +0000

(20/10/2009) Viipr Media has launched a new news wire service. The Viipr News Wire offers hot, breaking news stories to news sites, bloggers and any site that relies on breaking news content for traffic generation. All stories are optimized for the web, maximum visibility in search engines and sharing via social networking sites.

After working as lead writer for an online news site, Viipr Media founder, Paul Short, saw that the current state of the bigger news wire services was lacking in news stories written especially for online readers. Most of the content coming out of these companies is written with an offline, print media audience in mind. If you look at the current state of the big media industry, that old fashioned news doesn’t transition well to the the immediacy of the web. Paul then saw a wide open market that is long over due for a change.

Paul says “More and more people are looking to the internet for their news because it’s published there faster than any other form of media in history. Readers want their news now. They’re demanding it. It’s why big media who are set in their ways are a dying breed – they’re not adapting to the online news landscape as fast as their readers are and they’re sinking because of it. Someone needed to start syndicating news written for a web based audience. So the Viipr News Wire was born.”

The Viipr News Wire uses the real-time web to monitor breaking news events and collect information as those events are happening. Stories are written in a clear, concise format, optimized for search engines, online readers and social sharing. This content is then pushed out to clients immediately via email. Client’s then have their staff review the stories and publish to their sites.

The Viipr News Wire service is competitively priced, easy to understand and sign up for and gives client sites that edge of being one of the first on the web to post hot breaking news.

I’ve known Paul for “several” years, as we started blog networks about the same time. His SEO advice and his quick with have been invaluable and uplifting to me.

Read the Press Release I pasted above, check out the site, especially the FAQ and see if this is something you can use. This type of service is especially good for news & trend bloggers, or those who are interested in setting one up.

One Of The Smartest Things I Ever Did Was …

Mike Sigers — Thu, 29 Mar 2007 01:01:00 +0000

One of the smartest and most gorgeous people I know recently did a post by this title and I’d like for you to read it and link to it and subscribe to her feed, especially since it’s the #1 ranked blog for the term – self help blog – on Google.

Go read about the – Smartest Thing I Ever Did Was … and then go write a post about the smartest thing you ever did and maybe we can combat this propensity towards glorifying stupid stuff that seems to permeate the ‘net.

The smartest thing I ever did, besides the things she asks not to be listed is to learn to sell.

A smart man, who was not a very good human, once told me, ” Learn to sell and you’ll never need to look for a job. “

He was right.

And I give you the same advice.

Finding A Reliable Contractor Just Got Easier

Mike Sigers — Sun, 04 Mar 2007 00:36:00 +0000

Some of you know that I’m also in the construction industry as a masonry consultant.

The toughest part of any construction job is the finding of contractors. Whether it’s a simple home improvement project or a total home building project, the task of finding a contractor is getting easier all the time due to the proliferation of websites designed to make that task easier.

One such website, findoha.com, asked me to look at their operation.

I found painters, electricians, plumbers, roofers, landscapers, heating and cooling and several other classifications of contractors listed on their site for my state.

Would I use this type of service ? Maybe. If I couldn’t find a friend to give me his recommendation, I consider using an online service.

Do I think that I’d get any educational info or tips from a local contractor ? Absolutely not. So the trade-off is that an online service can help you make an educated decision about the work you need performed.

At findoha.com, there’s a section devoted to education you the consumer, so you can make a good decision about what you need and just as importantly, what you don’t need.

There are so many home improvement articles on there that you’d need weeks to devour all the info in there. From Home Building articles, to the Top 10 Home Improvement Projects, to articles about Electricity and what to watch out for, to Painting tips and a lot more.

You can get an estimate for a particular project from local, licensed, insured and prescreened contractors.

There’s way too much info on finoha.com for me to tell you about in this sponsored review, so you’ll need to click thru to their website and see for yourself just how easy it is to find all the info you need on any construction related project you might get involved with.

A Business Blogger Teaches The ABC’s

Mike Sigers — Sun, 21 May 2006 19:27:52 +0000

My blog friend, Thom Singer, author of the networking skills book “ Some Assembly Required: How to Make, Grow and Keep Your Business Relationships ” and the Some Assembly Required Blog, will wrap up his popular two-month project “ The ABC’s of Networking ” this Friday.

The ABC’s of Networking began on whim and has dominated his blog since early April.

“ I didn’t think through the enormity of the project when I began, but I also did not know how popular the series would be with my readers ”

The response to his series has been so positive that Thom and his publishing company, New Year Publishing, have decided to expand the blog series and create Thom’s second book.

“ I know from writing ‘Some Assembly Required’ that writing a book is a big time commitment. This two month blog series will give me a great foundation to create the new book. But I also have learned that promoting a book is actually more work that writing the book in the first place ! ”

In “ The ABC’s of Networking ”, Thom used the alphabet as a template to walk his readers through tips on how to better build a professional network of business contacts that will lead to more success.

Thom’s book, “ Some Assembly Required: How to Make, Grow and Keep Your Business Relationships ” is available at Amazon, his website and selected book retailers. It’s also available as a 3-disk audio CD.

Thom has more than 16 years of sales and marketing experience. He’s an expert in branding, positioning and networking, and has trained more than 2,000 professionals in the art of building professional contacts that lead to increased business.
