Tips to Avoid Problems with Cobranded Contents
Having a group of niche writers that create appealing, interesting content for your blog is a long-cherished dream for many owners of blogs. And this dream is a lot more realistic than many bloggers think. Sometimes it is by far more difficult not to get a pack of writers for your blog, BUT to avoid problems from them.
For those who experience problems with gathering the group of content writers to your blog, you can use the following "hooks" to offer to the writers and make them very motivated about working with you:
- sharing of AdSense profits on the pages where their content is published on your blog;
- increasing the profit share from AdSense depending upon the number of posts they make ( for example, 50% - 50% for up to 20 posts, 60% (them) - 40% (you) from 20 to 50 posts and 70% - 30% from over 50 posts);
- promotion of their products without taking commissions from them or taking a smaller % of the commissions or giving let’s say 100 free purchases and then getting the usual affiliate % from sharing traffic with them.
The list of offers can be very big, but you see the direction now. Actually, on the intial stage of your blog content development and promotion you can give away a lot, because these guys and gals will grow your blog with quality content. As you can see, with a nice package of offers you can gather the group of motivated content writers quite easily.
Cobranded Content Writing Groups - Problems!
This is when we come to the point of problems and how to solve them.
First of all, it is never bad to double check if the author is creating content. We are all nice and shiny, but still checking from time to time if the content was not stolen can save you lots of nerves and legal issues. Surely it’s not that easy to nail you down for the content steal in the web, but still - possible. That is why either sign a contract of "I and my blog not responsible for…" or check parts of the content on a regular basis for a possibility of matches.
Another problem is the access to your blog to 3rd parties. No one blames the authors that they will do something bad for the blog - they are not interested in it. But the more accesses to the admin area of your blogging platform interface you give, the more holes for the hackers you create. One of the easiest ways to get access to your blog to hackers is via admin access - it’s a fact and many hackers use it. Even the best blogging platform will not protect you from it, especially after the release of the new version. And now imagine that you have 3-5 authors with their own access - this gives hackers 3-5 more chances to break into the blog.
The way out is to search for special add-ons that protect the security of admin access. This will make the life of hackers difficult with your blog, and they will simply search for the easier target for their attacks.
