Ever wake up one morning after a rather restless night’s sleep and quietly debate with yourself:
“Jeepers self, do I REALLY want to become the Very Best Version of Clark Kent that I can be?”
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably awakened instead with gratitude that yep, a new day has dawned, not to mention focused upon the joys of foraging for your morning coffee, breakfast, vitamins and meds.
But on the off chance you’re a CSIT (Cloaked SuperHero in Training), you might be interested in:
I will confess – the first time I read this, I thought to myself… Stringers?
Stingers?
Black Widow wrist missiles?
It was then I realized I probably mis-read the post. 
Anywhos!
To quote, this is an app that:
“…alerts videographers to an assignment via the Stringr app and those that accept are instantly flagged with a skills rating and their proximity to the job relative to current traffic conditions, similar to the Uber model.”
In other words:
Something newsworthy has happened!
Light the torches!
Something newsworthy is being manipulated!
Bring out the pitchforks!
etc.etc.etc.
Sigh.
Of course:
“…Reuters stressed that it does not “endorse” Stringr’s content – shot by a mix of amateurs and professionals – as its own journalism but is providing access to the vast app-based network as a third-party service to enable Reuters Connect clients to generate bespoke video. The platform is offering an end-to-end video production facility by partnering with video editing tool InVideo and Amper Music, which generates rights-cleared soundtracks using artificial intelligence….”
Of course.
Cue sigh part 2.
Anywhos part 2!
If you have a hankering to be the *first* to capture video of whatever is happening (and possibly have your content go viral), this app might be of interest to you.
But if you’d prefer instead to become an expert in the late breaking news of *your* niche, there’s a much easier way to go about it!
And that, of course, is Feedly.
Feedly is a news aggregator (in other words – it can pull all of the latest articles/headlines from whatever site you’d like that has an RSS feed).
Feedly is available over at
and once you’ve set it up, you can search via keyword on your niche, OR just go to Google and search for
Most popular NICHE blogs
like
Most popular superhero blogs
Most popular marketing blogs
Most popular mindset blogs
and the like.
By patiently adding in the best authority sites in YOUR niche, you can easily give the appearance of being a niche expert by simply being the first to report on breaking news!
Such a thing could be made into a 1 page cheatsheet as well like so:
Step 1.) Understand the art of RSS
Step 2.) Learn how to organize your feedly
Step 3.) Add content and share!
Resources for the above include:

Your takeaway?
Gambling on a *chance* of going viral is ‘way more problematic than simply becoming an expert in your niche and growing your bottom line via said expertise.
Why not try that today?
Enjoy!
