It is with great interest that I watch the direction Ed Dale is taking his Thirty Day Challenge project...
See Ed is ruminating on the idea of whether an open source-like space be set up where the large community that follows Ed, can gather and help educate each other.
The idea certainly has some merits and being the eternal optimist I can envisage an Internet Marketing Nirvana where all is community bonding, friendship and the desire to help their fellow man. Whether that can be created remains to be seen ...knowing human nature, and reflecting back on the large online community projects I have been involved with, the burn out that comes with dealing with the opposite to that ideal can take its toll (but can be handled with knowledge and a lot of break taking and fresh blood).
So how would I go about setting up such a source of knowledge. Wiki is being mentioned a fair bit. But personally i would be more inclined to go with a YouTube type of setup where content can be rated not only by the people that watch it (which would remove the spammers because we all know what shit content looks like, right?) and also that those in the higher echelons can also put their stamp of approval on it.
This can also go for audio presentations as well.
If Wiki and YouTube can be mated and the main substance of the writing come from experienced and proven internet marketers then i would be more inclined to believe its authority. If the majority of writing is done by Fred Blogs who just completed the 30DC and wants to tell me that affiliate marketing is the only way to go, my cynicism is going to walk me right out of that door.
Now if someone did a video series on how to get creative product ideas when you are running a "free" niche then I will be watching that with great interest. Especially if it has a Gold Star from one of the big hitters who are guiding the project :)
