Multi Level Curation Network on Specific Subjects
Why?
There are many good sources of information, editorials, and advice on specific subjects. The problem is, there are much more bad or average ones as well, sometimes overwhelmingly so.
How?
Build a multi-level network of editors that scout for and curate the best in each subject matter.
An editor starts as a volunteer at the lowest level by submitting materials he scouts on the web on a subject matter. The next level editors receive these materials and transfer only the ones they deem as good enough to the next step editors. This goes on until the last top editor decides – from the materials that made it up to his level – what to publish at that time on the subject matter.
An editor gets to the next level when:
1. There is an opening there because someone left or the editorial team at that level is expanding.
2. And he has proved he is a good editor by submitting a lot of material that makes it to publication.
All editors and their status are listed in the publication.

Publish Top Curated Content Only in Specific Verticals
Why?
To have one reliable source for top content in a particular niche.
How?
Instead of creating original content by in-house writers, have many external excellent creators do it. It might have already been published on the author’s website, another platform, or directly submitted. In any case, a dedicated editor for the particular vertical has (after finding it and contacting the creator) been working with the author for it to be published in the specific vertical’s online publication. The article itself and not a link to it is published. Only chose the top content for each niche.

The Editor’s Picks Magazine
Why?
It’s all about credentials. But not the credentials someone else gives, but the credentials the editor gave. Most magazines write about someone or let them write for them because of outside credentials.
How?
Publish a magazine where the only credential that counts is what the editor thinks. Only articles of personal judgment are published. The people profiled are chosen because the publisher and editor regard them highly, even if they are unknown to most of the world. It’s an entirely personal (but explained) point of view in each and every article published.
