Using “Open” Sharable Content to Develop Domains
More and more people are deciding to develop their domains rather than park them. Often times, people register domains because they have a keen/deep interest in a subject/name that might make a great website someday. For example, if you have an intense interest in slotcars, you might register a domain like slotcarmemories.com to provide information regarding antique slot cars, slot car trading, slot car news… whatever, it’s your vision.
So, you get all excited and register your slotcar URL but then what do you do? There are lots of tools that will help you get a free or cheap website up and running. Beyond that, you’ll have to fill the site with interesting thoughts, insights, and other content – that is the bigger problem for most folks. Without interesting content, no one will come to your site. If no one visits, it’s less fun and the potential to make money is dramatically reduced.
YouTube has now become a huge library of sharable video content that you can re-publish on your website. Some of the videos might be what you would consider garbage, but lots of them are very well produced.
Back to our slotcar example. You can search YouTube using the keyword “slotcar” and thousands of videos will be presented to you. If you find one that fits well with your site, you simply copy the Embed code under the video and post it to your website.
This can save you hours (more like days and weeks) of content development time. If you want to eventually ihave all your website video be original (produced by you), you can use it as a placeholder until you find the time and energy to develop your own.
