FreeIQ - How to actually MAKE MONEY? Part I

An interesting thing happened to me tonight: I did a Google search on FreeIQ blogs. Well, of course I found FreeIQ Marketing. But, I also found quite a few others, and the majority of them all had the same thing: "FreeIQ - it's great, sign up!" But nobody is talking about how to MAKE MONEY with FreeIQ! Well, FreeIQ Marketing is about using FreeIQ to make money. Lets begin with...

Lesson #1 - CONTENT!

This one's easy: Marketing! Ok, well exactly how do I go about it? The main draw of FreeIQ is Content. If you want to use FreeIQ for marketing, you need content. But where does the content come from?

One of the tag lines for FreeIQ is: "Everybody knows something worthwhile". Perhaps the easiest way to use FreeIQ for marketing is to create some content, linked to your site, blog, product page, etc. and post it!

Ok, sounds good, but... I'll answer your question before you ask it: You can create content simply by walking through your stuff on screen, whether it's your web site, PowerPoint presentation, software application, and record the screen while narrating over it! This is your content! Upload it, link it, Wham! Web 2.0 marketing done right!

One of the really cool tools to come along lately is Camtasia (here is a link for a free trial). This nifty program will let you do stuff on your computer and talk through what you're doing while the whole thing is recorded as a Flash video - then simply upload it to FreeIQ (you can upload content here), and you're now miles ahead of the pack!
