In a world where major publications can vanish from the Internet in the blink of an eye, content preservation is more important than ever.
As a writer just starting out, I remember the inner turmoil associated with imposter syndrome. My inner self wrestled with self-validation issues. Did I deserve to be writing alongside others of far-greater knowledge than myself? Was I truly qualified to even be writing at all? This issue became further compounded when I began to realize that I wouldn’t get by for very long without repurposing content. Didn’t this actually now make me an imposter? Because what writer worth her salt doesn’t publish only fresh topics and striking new ideas?
Content syndication helps publishers expand their reach to professional audiences. Effective distribution strategies evolve as creators progress from novice to experienced. Key steps include understanding your audience, choosing appropriate primary channels for content hosting, and leveraging promotional channels to increase visibility. Success involves researching target demographics, assessing and repurposing existing content, selecting suitable platforms, setting measurable goals, and continuously adapting your approach based on performance metrics.
For online content publishers, content syndication is a great way to expand your reach, build your reputation, and possibly make money. Similar to how television shows and radio programs can be syndicated to different networks and stations, your digital content can be syndicated through a variety of distributors. Sounds great, right? It is, but there are different types of content syndication to consider. Before you decide to syndicate the content you’ve worked hard to create, you need to understand the available syndication models and how they can benefit you.

In our last post, we talked about how content quality is more important than ever. Search engines such as Google want high-quality content, and authoritativeness is one of the factors they consider when evaluating material. But what does it mean for content to be authoritative, and why is that relevant?
Researchers, businesspeople, academics, and professionals use platforms such as LexisNexis and Thomson Reuters Westlaw to find reliable information to inform their work. They are looking for newsworthy information, professional commentary, and independent insights. They need authoritative content that covers in-demand topics.
Timing, market conditions, frequency, and length---these are just four of the things that affect content revenue, which Newstex president Larry Schwartz and Jonathan Hoy, director of licensing and copyrights for the American Bar Association Publishing, shared at the recent SIPA conference.

The world of online video has come a long way in the last couple of years. Google's YouTube might still be the page views leader when it comes to online video viewing, but sites like Hulu, iTunes, and Netflix have embraced a different business model that YouTube is finally trying to catch up with.
