If you haven’t seen me in a while, its been because I’ve been so heads down in work. We’ve been pushing really hard over the last few weeks building out our new product Scribit. Scribit is a subscription service that gives any website access to high quality content from some of the top publishing brands.
A business has to sell something to make money. Content helps convince people that what you are selling is what they need to buy.
Lets say that you run a store selling craft beer. You want to tell people something about the beers that you offer. Before Scribit, you really only had two choices. The first is to write all that content yourself. Tasting beer is fun, writing about is a little less fun, but either way it takes a lot of time.
Of course, there are lots of sites that have good beer reviews. However they are all ad supported. Linking to one of those sites carries the risk that your visitor will see the ad for your competitor down the street and visit her shop instead.
Scribit allows you to take that content and put it on your site legally. If you’ve got Scribit, all you have to do is search for “craft beer.”
Once you’ve found an article you like, it’s a matter of deciding where on your site it appears and which social networks you want to publish to.
That’s it. The article is now in my twitter feed and on my site. It’s that easy.
We’ve put Scribit through the paces in a private beta period and now we’re opening it up for everyone. All new Scribit accounts start with a 30-day free trial. I also have a few complimentary subscriptions that I can hand out. DM me for details.
