Advice on Monetizing Celebrity Connections

by Emailrevealer
6 replies
Hi guys, I need some brain storming help here. I originally became a warrior to promote my web site, I'm a private investigator. But I'm also an IM with a few blogs and adsense and an affiliate program.

In the past few years I've been involved in some of the biggest news stories in the country, The Tiger Woods case, Charlies Sheen case and Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case. Here's a link to my bio Ed Opperman Private Investigator

Now more recently I've been doing a little TV and radio appearances so I have an agent that books me. With this connection I have access to a lot of celebrities. Mostly Reality TV star types but the kind of people you see on TMZ and RadarOnline everyday. I have access to these people and with the right money making vehichle I can get endorsements, tweets, FB posts and press releases. For example I have one of these celebs tweeting to 44k followers about my web site.

So I'm asking for ideas on how to monetize this resource. I'd even entertain a partnership is building and running a celebrity gossip web site. I can guarantee new and unique content.

Let me clarify, I have a web site for my PI business and that's up and running fine. I'm seeking advice on how to use Internet Marketing to take aadvantaage of these celigrity connections I've maade in the paast few years.
Thanks

      Did you mean to reply to my request for ideas and suggestions? I don't see how your comment applies to my post.

    Hmmm so there's not 1 single Warrior can think of a way I can take advantage of this opportunity?

    Just to be clear I have personal and direct access to the people involved in THE TOP STORY yesterday and last night on TMZ, RADAR and all the TV giossip shows.

    I can get their direct participation in an online marketing venture if I can think of something profitibale.

    I thought maybe a simple background check for dating sites might be a nice upgrade for women. Partner w/ the big dating sites and offer it as an upsell. I'm sure you could automate the process somewhat. Basic criminal history check etc...

    Or another site idea is a celebrity phone call or skype site, where people pay $X/minute for phone call or video chat. A novelty that many would pay decent money for even to talk/chat w/ a B&C list celeb.

      Funny you would mention that my friend owns dialastar.com, It is a money maker but the idea is taken.
