Editor’s note: This article was first published in September 2010. NewsCred’s free service, its optional paid tier and the custom-domain option are described as they were then; the company later moved to enterprise content marketing.
Now you have the chance to set up your own digital newspaper in 60 seconds, thanks to NewsCred.com. When I say set up, I mean it literally: the steps are extremely simple, and the newspaper is fed with news through the feed of your own website or blog.
The service is free, although you can also add features by paying a small fee. You can use your own domain or the one they give you. The idea is basically to fill it with content of interest and, alongside it, the news from your own website or blog.
Of course, you’ll have to promote it, because if you just create it and leave it floating in cyberspace, few people will find it. It’s constantly fed with updated content, depending on the feeds you’ve added to it.
It’s an opportunity to have your offers or your company’s news mixed in with major world or national headlines.
To be honest, I created one a while ago, but it’s of little use to me. I’m sure some of you will find a use for it and get the most out of it.
If you want to see what it looks like once it’s finished (61 seconds), mine was at negocios.newscred.com.
