The Susan Boyle Phenomenon means Opportunity

We have all seen them from time to time, news stories about breaking phenomenons or popular trends that gather lightning quick responses around the social networks. When you see a breaking story for the first time that interests you think for a moment of how you can monetize and profit from it.

One such recent success story called “the Susan Boyle phenomenon” has captured people’s imagination. For any canny IM this presents a golden opportunity, shortly after Susan Boyle’s appearance on the show, a Magnify.net user created a channel as a fan site, and got over 150k page views/day in less than 48 hours, according to Magnify.net. So for $10.00 to buy a domain name and 2 or 3 hours setting up the site this individual has cashed in big time. Even if the subject peters out, the initial revenue from affiliate programs and merchandise more than make it worthwhile, but if the subject continues to gather popularity the payback is all the more sweeter.

Speed is of the essence

This is just one example of what’s possible and for sure you need to be primed and ready for action. It doesn’t take more than 10 minutes of your time to purchase a domain name and then you design your site, add some videos and chat/forum facilities and you’re good to go. If you set your site up right the users will drive interest and traffic for you.

So what do you think, have you already jumped on the success wagon?
