Hey folks!

Yet another question to the content gurus out there...

Are there any money making opportunities out there for political content?

    Doubtful, IMHO. Most politicians in my experience are loathe to pay for anything - just look at the spate of defaults and bad press after most elections. Maybe I'm more than a little cynical, but a lot of them seem to think that simply running for an office entitles them to extraordinary treatment.

    I can't think of a worse client than a politician - unless you get your money in full, upfront, in cash.

      haha yeah... I was helping one guy out of the goodness of my heart and he was so broke it was almost sad... And inevitably, what people don't pay for they don't value.

      However, if you can get into the upper echelons of political office I'm sure there is money there... There are also some searches for things like "political marketing" so it might be worth considering positioning yourself for those searches if this is really a market you want to be in.
