It's all a problem of big fish swallowing smaller fish.

There use to be a lot of places where you could write once, and publish to many different places.

That's narrowed down as companies are bought and closed down.

The latest one is Posterous, which Twitter is closing at the end of April 2013. My best use of this was to remote post to various free blog platforms. While you can still do this with programs like Windows Live Writer, or plug-ins like Scribefire, they are a bit more intensive than I like. (Scribefire is really a perfect replacement for this type of action - but the search engines really do mess with content that is too similar to itself. Not enough value.)

The replacement is If This, Then That. (ifttt.com) Key points is that it will take new material and drop it in all over the place. Especially good for videos, which search engines still see as non-duplicate - and are the replacement for article directories.

Still testing this myself, and I don't have a how-to on this or recommendations so far.

But thought to let you know.

Cheers!

What's next - when you're on a roll?

For those who have faithfully followed this series, I thought to give you an unannounced follow-up.
Most of this series was written in pre-post method, meaning I simply sat down and drove myself to get it out of my head and into a written (digital) form. Wasn't hard, if you can listen to your own inspiration running amok. (And that's a whole 'nother topic, although I did compile a book about how anyone can release their own genius...)

But as you can see from this blog, I have no short suit in being able to create new content readily (over-prolific, I call it). Mostly, this is practice, and isn't something I really ever set out to do, but another talent that - when honed - turned out to be sharp.

There is a simple recipe using what we've covered for anyone who finds themselves having more content than outlets: create another outlet stream.

Essentially, a person can have many interests, even though they may only really focus on a few. This where diversity in life makes everything interesting. And the various Internet hosts love it when you dump all sorts of content on them.

That formula:

On your main hub, set up another category with that other interest (or set up another hub)
Populate this with some basic content
Create a new Google+ page and publish these links to it.
Set up your posterous and remote posting blogs (WP, blog.com, blogger, etc.)
And set up another twitter account, which posterous can handle for you. You can also autopost to Facebook from here.
Your onlywire or Synnd work would continue with these new posts.

Quite simple. But it gets all that out of your head...

Some examples of content publishing

Hubs

Worstell Farms

Worstell Farms Cinch Diet Plan pages

Thrivelearning System (RobertWorstell.com)

Go Thunk Yourself.com

Google+ pages:

Worstell Farms

Shaklee Cinch Diet Plan

Comparing these 2 sets, you'll see where the cross-posts come in. And its obvious I need to create some more product pages, as I just found Google+ pages and their SEO connection a little over a month ago (just before I started this data dump).

Posterous

Natural Health News and Information

And Now What?

Thrivelearning News and Views

Go Thunk Yourself!

These posterous accounts all autopost to at least 4 other blogs, and usually a twitter account as well. So essentially, for every hub, I (should) have a Google+ page, and a Posterous blog with a mini-net below it. You'll see on WorstellFarms that I created a mini-site just about Cinch which only obliquely links back to the Grass Fed Beef site - but is on the same domain. It's an extension of eating healthy and naturally, so it fits.

Again, this is just the tip of the iceberg. There's bookmarking and so on. And working to find a review from Market Samurai gave me this link about their results in surveying professional SEO companies.

Just a reminder...

Content posting sequence is:

Landing/Sales pages are best hosted by your affiliate sponsor's site (unless they do a lousy job, or it's your own product).
Review pages go on your main site/hub (and link to the affiliate sponsor)
Infotainment pages go on the remote blogs (and link to your hub)
Bookmark the remote blogs and ping the bookmark profile RSS feeds.

For an example, if you trace out the Cinch Diet Plan pages (goes through "Natural Health News and Information" Posterous site), it will all lead back to Shaklee as an affiliate: http://order-online-today.myshaklee.com/

Go Thunk Yourself (and some of Thrivelearning) will trace back to my own bookstore: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/robertworstell

Thrivelearning itself is a montage of affiliate programs and materials. Some are even Amazon astores. And if you search for the slideshare.net sites, you'll see how this material was published as PDF's with backlinks to the hub it came from.

So I just wanted to give you some live examples to check out.

Cheers!
