Content management: how to generate much
Content is the king. How to or generate much content?
Content makes your website attractive to Internet users - I mean good quality content. But even if you try hard and write 10-12 hours a day you will experience a shortage of content. One can’t generate enough content - it is the belief of every site owner. Every person who is in affiliate marketing is on the search for more content and more links.
You have a few options to increase content of your website (besides writing it yourself). For example, hire more copywriters, run a popular community or provide some free services that will attract people (image storage, contests, blog storage, etc) to add stuff to your website.
Another source of free and legitimate content is public domain resources – resources that are no more protected by copyright. Project Gutenberg is probably the best known resource of this kind.
What is Project Gutenberg? It is the biggest collection of free e-books. Michael Hart, founder of Project Gutenberg, invented electronic books back in 1971.
You are free to use, re-publish e-books from the project website (but it does not guarantee that you are the first to publish the stuff online and you are not protected from duplicate penalty content).
Project Gutenberg lists top books and authors – it helps to find most valuable e-books (in addition to the Advanced Search). Here is top 10 of top 100 sample:
1. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (445)
2. The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci — Complete by Leonardo da Vinci (395)
3. Kamasutra by Vatsyayana (336)
4. Fifteen Thousand Useful Phrases by Grenville Kleiser (277)
5. How to Speak and Write Correctly by Joseph Devlin (232)
6. The Time Machine by H. G. Wells (196)
7. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (190)
8. The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen (181)
9. The Art of War by 6th cent. B.C. Sunzi (167)
10. Forbidden books of the original New Testament by William Wake (166)
The website also lists Top 100 EBooks yesterday, Top 100 Authors yesterday, Top 100 EBooks last 7 days, Top 100 Authors last 7 days, Top 100 EBooks last 30 days, Top 100 Authors last 30 days
Added to e-books, you will find music, audio e-books and some other digital content.
You will be amazed at the stats – nearly half a million of e-books are added monthly. There are e-books in many languages, but most come in English.
Summary: in addition to a simple download and posting of e-books on your website Project Gutenberg is a great resource to conduct all kinds of research in your industry. While browsing the lists you are likely to get new ideas for your website.
