Publish current, relevant content that is well written and important to you and your audience. Determine who your audience is and establish your voice and generate buzz about you, your services, and your products.
A ProFILE is a one page description about YOU, the professional. A ProSITE is a compact website that describes you, your skillset, products, services, business, industry, etc. A ProBLOG is your method of posting current and relevant content for your audience. Readers and search engines alike seek out current, relevant content. These 3 tools will allow you to establish anchored pages as well as new, dynamic pages. Learn more: Features
We have designed a method to reward active, solid contributors to the ProSPOTLIGHT project. We score usage activity as well as peer response. We then distribute a pro's pages based on their rank for a specific area. The top pro in the United States will be listed first in a list of articles. The top pro by state or city will find their content surfacing more frequently than others. Over time, readers will trust pros who have a high score and rank. Each pro has an overall rank. They also have a relative rank for every screen. The higher the overall rank is for a pro the more frequently their content will surface to the top of a list of potential links. It is our method of rewarding people who have truly established a presence on the Internet.
Overhead costs, including development, management, etc. are covered primarily by ad space on the site. We provide you with the opportunity to contribute to the service and products by signing up for a premium account. There are benefits for being a premium account holder. For example, we remove all ads from your content pages. There are also times when your content is featured over that of a free account. Likely, the largest benefit is that we can dedicate more resources to enhancing the overall experience.
Certainly. We have a scheduled release program for some fabulous tools that pros need in an online community.
Yes. BUZZINGPros is a distribution website as well as ExpertSPOTLIGHT. We want you to be seen all over the net and find success in your business.
Not yet... We want to add personalization functionality but there are other features that demand our development time. At some point you'll be able to set your theme and alter colors. Even we want to see some new colors.
