Description
My name is Richard Kastelein and I work for Newstex.com, an aggregator/wholesaler of real-time news, content, and commentary/blogs. Our customers, who include LexisNexis, EBSCO, CanWest MediaWorks, Thomson West, Thomson Gale, et al., have asked me to offer licensing contracts to political, financial, marketing, and technology bloggers with high-quality content.
LexisNexis is a leading provider of comprehensive information and business solutions to professionals in a variety of areas—legal, risk management, corporate, government, law enforcement, accounting and academic. They provide customers access to 5 billion searchable documents from more than 32,000 legal, news, business sources.... and now blogs.
Newstex is currently the only possibility to make bloggers accessible in Lexis Nexis's enormous database and globally-used information tool that is used in over 100 countries via 13,000 employees.
On top of that our bloggers are also routed through EBSCO - the world's largest database for the library industry... and many major media outlets including Thomson Gale, Thomson West, CanWest and others utilize Newstex.com services in order to provide high quality blogs.
How might a client use Newstex.com? Say you live in London, GB... and a major event happens (terror, stock market, crime) - and the mainstream media pulls your latest from Newstex.com's Blogs On Demand because they want the 'blogger's perspective\" or analysis from the \"citizen media\" on the breaking event. The Newstex blog wire is the leading source for reading and contacting bloggers in the world's top information database providers and many mainstream media outlets.
Other ways that Newstex.com customers utilize our services include customers such as political lobbyists and organizations who need to have a hand on the pulse of issues being bantered in the blogs that are relevant to them. And stock traders in various markets (London, NY, Tokyo, Shanghai etc.) that want to track the opinions of financial bloggers - rather than trolling through billions of pages on the Internet or googling themselves silly.
Newstex delivers high quality blog entries about specific topics in a standardized format and most Newstex clients have end-users who are working and researching in private or closed environments, so one's blog data will not be redistributed to anyone who would be competing with you for Internet traffic. We add increased value to our clients by consolidating and packaging thousands of digital feeds from publishers like you, and then add industry-specific data, stock ticker symbols, keywords, and other categorization fields. Our clients can then integrate Newstex's products into their own commercial and proprietary applications for delivery to end-users.
Newstex was recently named on the EContent 100 List of \"Companies That Matter Most in the Digital Content Industry\", along with such companies as Google, Reuters, Six Apart, and Technorati.
Once you sign up - we will take your daily RSS feed, standardize it, and then redeliver it to our clients.
As a blog publisher, this will give you increased visibility and credibility, as well as increased income potential.
Yes - you can earn revenue on top of enhancing your credibility and exposure.
It's simple. We pay you a 30% royalty of the gross subscription revenues based on your royalty pool participation for each product your posts are included in, and we maintain a hyperlink to your homepage in our dateline so you should see increased traffic. Some bloggers who post regularly and frequently on topics relevant to our clients have the potential of making $10 - $500 per month.
With little effort on your end, you benefit with increased exposure, as well as generating an additional revenue stream for your blog.
