OK, so using a content broker to make money as a freelance writer isn’t really a “job”, but brokers do offer a unique platform to help you pull in some income. Content brokers are websites that bring together both writers and webmasters who are looking for web content. For their part in facilitating that relationship, content brokers charge a fee usually to the writer, the client, or both.

In his article on the Working Writer’s Coach, Tom Copeland breaks down the good, the bad, and the downright ugly of Constant Content and Text Brokers. REad more about it here.

My friend thinks web traffic doesn’t matter, and that got me thinking. How much influence do visitors have while measuring your businesses Web presence?

In this post, I wonder if site traffic important to you in measuring the success of your web presence and online marketing efforts? Does it feel more like your website is just an electronic business card – and nothing else? If so, I have a feeling you’re not alone.

How often to businesses overlook or simply are unaware of the two most powerful analytic tools available to webmasters? Do business owners even care to use these tools? I hope not; if they did, I wouldn’t have a business.

Maybe it’s just me, but it sure seemed like long before the site had a #1 box office film bearing its story and grossing a respectable $23 million in its opening weekend, Facebook and the rest the sites that compose the social media phenomenon were already ubiquitous in our society.

In fact, I think Facebook and Twtiter have become so mainstream, you could create a wildly successful frat party drinking game out of how often the logos are punching us in the face, a nearly 24/7 occurrence these days:

1. Grab an 18 pack and three buddies.

2. Everyone crowd around the TV, and using your remote, scan through commercials.

3. Anytime the players see or hear a solicitation by the company or spokesperson in a commercial soliciting viewers to “follow them” on Facebook, Twitter, or any other social networking site, or flashes the logos on the screen, each player must drink.

4. The last person to drink loses, and has to follow Lindsey Lohan on Twitter for the next 6 months.

OK, so my penalties are a little too harsh, but the point is that people, organizations, companies, and well, everyone are piling into social media and online networking sites by the (probably) billions everyday – the classic “craze” signature of a bubble – and that kind of inflation and obsession can’t sustain forever.

The social media bubble isn’t your typical bubble, however, because the sites we belong to aren’t really an asset with any monetary value to us. But I don’t think that means it couldn’t pop, and when it does, which social media companies will survive, and which will be caught naked and void of value, importance, and relevancy?
