In the world of websites and blogging, the one common theme across all sites is a never-ending need for more content. In most cases, content creation isn’t the problem… it’s more about content promotion and giving something of value to your audience.

The benefits of creating content around authority figures in your space is vast, such as bringing recognizable authority names to your site, while also having the opportunity for such content to be shared by featured experts as well. The end result could create lots of great content for your site, while also bringing in a nice consistent supply of new traffic as well.
