Press Articles VS Writer Question
I am in the process of starting a hockey specific info, stats, opinion page.
I have been in contact with the Canadian Press (affiliate to Associated Press), they have a good monthly news feed for hockey with a cost of over $1000.
I have been debating trying to find my own writer to 'copy' the top news stories of the day and write in his/her own words. I think this will give me original content, place for affiliate links, and more key word count. I also think I could find a writer to write the same top story article(s), for same or less money per month. There would be little research to be done per article.
QUESTION IS:
Do I go for Canadian Press content. The news people will want to read because of the 'trust' factor with Canadian Press. I could still write articles with some SEO content. OR Do I find my own writer to cover the same daily top news stories? and where is the best place to look for a hockey writer??
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks.
