Our friends at Newstex are going to be manning a booth at the upcoming BlogWorld & New Media Expo which runs November 8-9, or if you’re doing the “E&E” track, from the 7th to the 9th.
While you’re there, be sure to check out Steve’s session, “How to Work with Blog Consultants,” and also swing by the Newstex booth.
Newstex is a service that syndicates blog content to companies around the world, and then shares the content royalties with the bloggers. They’re going to be demoing the service and hanging out on the floor at booth #405.
Aside from having good execution, the core concept behind what Newstex is doing is actually a really cool idea. Sometimes people forget, or just don’t realize, how much good, original content is produced every day in the blogosphere. It’s all valuable, either as product feedback or good analysis or just new information.
Pulling that together and finding an effective way to monetize it–and then sharing that revenue with the bloggers who are creating the content (I’m looking at you, splogs! Stop stealing our content!)…I’m glad that service exists.
Newstex is also running a contest to win a free iPod Nano (one of the new, “phat” ones). To enter, just sign your blog up for their content distribution system. (So let’s see…sign up to get money for your blog content, and maybe win an iPod? I’m looking for the down-side here).
