Interviewing experts to create wso for a niche question

Thanks in advance for all help!


Just seeing if anyone had tips or recommendation to get started with this. I can't afford to pay an expert at this time so I was thinking of offering them a commission any time someone purchased access to my membership site with the link I will supply them with. Any one have ideas on how to get experts interested to do interviews for my membership site?

    If you ask nicely, some will do it for free.

    You're giving them exposure and positioning, after all.

    Some people will be fine with it; some won't want to do it for free. That's out of your control. What IS in your control is whether you ask or not.

        Make sure you have something of worth and value to give to the expert.

        Since you don't have money, the next best things you can give them are credibility, exposure, and valuable links (so that they can share in your site visitor traffic).

        If I were an expert, I would be concerned about your web site, your product or service, and your business in general. I wouldn't want my name associated with anything of low or questionable quality because online we are often judged by our company.

        So yes, sometimes you can get an expert to help you. But you'd better be sure you can prove your worth and quality up front.

    every expert wants more exposure and credibility , so if you can prove to them that you are willing to roll up your sleeves and give them value then im sure you will find those who will gladly come on board. like Jason said, u just got to ask

    You have to first get on their radar

    That's where SOCIAL MEDIA CREDIBILITY comes in

    Get one niche expert to vouch for you so you can get a network going.

    Normally if you get one highly respected expert to come on board, then
    you can use that name as a "bait" to get others on as well. So in your
    contact email you can say, "Expert XYZ has already agreed to do this
    and hope that you can too .." Of course the more name you can drop,
    the better.

    look up on google using one of the mainly spread questions in your niche, you will find A LOT of guys, make a list for 20 persons with their contact details "fetch from their website/facebook pages", reach them explaining your position, a lot will not answer, a lot will apologize, about 2 or 3 will be interested, now you got what you want
    tell them it will be for only "xx" minutes and will be about "xx" topic and will be used as highly valuable content that you will plug in to your list as a follow-up message, so he gets recurring exposure. he can't say no to that..

      Amen all day and twice on Sunday.

      If you (the OP) came to me with a commission offer, I'd turn you down. Contributing to such a site lends whatever authority/influence I have to your product. Doing so for the money creates a conflict of interest, and I don't want my people starting to wonder if what I back is good or if I'm doing it for the money.

      If your product is good enough, and it's a good fit for my people, I might be interested. If not, you can't pay me enough.
