Your New Job and using OPC - Other People's Content

I again had the pleasure of being a guest blogger for the Small business Blog at HP Logoworks.  This month's post was on  Social Media marketing and how to use Other People's Content for creating your Social Media content.  In that post, I talk about some of the new jobs you can try out.   In today's Whacky Wide Web, we all have to get used to wearing different hats. 

Here are some new jobs that you can fill while creating your next Social Media post using Other People's Content. 

1) The researcher.  You can aggregate content around a specific topic to create a new Blog Post.  A little research, organization and some commentary to bring it together can go a long way.  

2) The commentator.  Read an online report and deliver some useful summary points.  Ask insightful questions.  Take a Point of View relative to the report and become a new generation commentator. 

3) The evangelist.  Find someone's perspective that you like and promote it.  No one likes a cheerleader who is cheering for themselves - but we all look for good tips on who we should follow.  Help your favorite online personalities promote their message with your platform.

What new jobs are you creating for yourself in today's citizen-publisher economy?

Good afternoon. I wanted to write you a quick note to express my thanks. I've been following your blog for a month or so and have picked up a ton of beneficial information as well as enjoyed the way you've setup your blog. I am attempting to setup my own blog but I think it's far too general. I would like to focus more on more specific topics. Being all things to all people is not all that its cracked up to be. Many thanks.

You are absolutely right. Your content encourages me a lot. One should have to select the job which he/she likes most. And in this way one can be skilled at his/ her creativity. What you have to take, choose it boldly and confidently. I saw many people change their world by choosing a perfect job. As all we know the old maxim “work is worship”.
