5 Tips to Keep It Going with Content Creation

Whether you have a web-based business or promote a product (or service) online, it is content that will propel your efforts. Without focusing on the content creation part of your marketing plan, it’s almost impossible to begin to reach the goals you might have set for your business.

You’ll need content (and lots of it), if you want to –

attract traffic to your site
build a following on social media
prove that you really know your stuff
collect emails from prospects
boost your site’s search rankings

Seth Godin says, ‘Content marketing is all the marketing that’s left’. And he has emphasized the point amazingly well.

Check out these content creation statistics:

60% of marketers create at least one piece of content every day. [Source: eMarketer]
78% of marketers agree that custom content is the future of marketing. [Source: DemandMetric]
72% of marketers believe that branded content makes a greater impact than magazine advertisements do. [The Content Council]
69% of marketers say that content is much more effective than direct mail and PR. [The Content Council]

The success potential of content is huge and proven!

You need to create lots of quality content to truly make an impact. It is through content that you can deliver your message and build an emotional connection with your audience. But the problem is that you’ll wrestle with content creation even if you’re a skilled writer. Often, you’ll miss deadlines wondering what to write or blog about next.

It keeps on happening to most of us.

Well, if your struggle with content creation, given below are some of the coolest tips that you can use to get the ball rolling.

By the way, I have created a course specifically to help you with content creation. You can check it out here.

Challenge Deeply Held Beliefs

Humans are quite good at assuming things. If you analyze the way most people think in your industry, you’ll come across many assumptions that have been there for a long time. Unchallenged.

Look for them.

Are there any rules that need to change? What are those beliefs that you believe should be discarded? Take a closer look and examine the current state of affairs to come up with such assumptions, and then start asking yourself how it can change. Can those things be done in a different way? If you apply this technique, you’ll definitely generate new ideas that you can use to create fresh and original content that your audience will like to consume.

Steal an Idea, and Make It Your Own

Different people have different ideas or opinions. Take a look around and you’ll find lots of interesting ideas.

Go, steal someone else’s idea – just anyone.

Copying someone else’s content and publishing it on your own website or blog is unethical – a punishable offense by the rule of law. But an idea is not the same as a piece of content. Right?

But what you should really do is lift someone’s idea and then cook it in a way that it becomes your own. And how exactly do you make it happen? There are many ways to do that. Pick someone’s idea and explain it with the help of an experience of your own. Write in support of an existing idea or refute it. Or, simply build upon it in your unique way. You can also pick an idea from a different industry and then repackage it to suit the needs of your own target audience or prospects. Not too hard, is it?

Share Your Success (or Failure) Story

Success stories have always been in great demand because they come along with valuable lessons of a lifetime.

They tell people what to do.

But stories of failures offer value too because they tell people what not to do. They make people aware of the pitfalls that need to be avoided or the hurdles that need to be dealt with. If you feel like you have exhausted topics for content creation, looking back at how you fared in your journey will equip you with some interesting ideas for your next blog posts.

Learn from Your Competitors

Be it any industry or niche, you’re always competing. If you don’t know it yet, find out who your top competitors are. Your top competitors are at the top for a reason. They’re doing their job really well.

And that’s exactly why you should learn from them.

Take a look at the websites of your competitors. What kind of content do they feature? What is their approach to a particular topic? If you dig deeper into their content creation techniques, you’ll learn a lot. Either follow in their footsteps or find new ways to do it better than how they are doing it. Researching and measuring yourself against your key competitors is a surefire way of improving your own content creation and staying ahead of the game.

Expand Upon a Popular Quote

Every industry has some of its famous quotes. Look for those quotes that relate to your own industry or niche.

Once you have some good industry-relevant quotes at hand, get ready to put your writing skills into action. Understand the meaning of those quotes on a deeper level and then explain it in a way that catches the attention of your target audience and teaches them something that they can use to improve their everyday lives. You can lend more strength to your expression by coupling it with suitable examples or facts.

Wrapping It Up

Almost every business owner or marketer struggles to keep pace with the demands of their content creation. To keep it going, you don’t just need lots of good ideas but you also need to plan ahead of time. The techniques or tips that you read about above will definitely equip you with ideas to inspire the creation of a bunch of blog posts for your site. Always remember that content marketing sees the light of the day only when you are consistent with your efforts. And that’s why you need lots of content that feeds the appetite of your audience or prospects for information – and tickles their taste buds too.

4 Tips for Submitting Guest Posts to Top Blogs

Guest posting leverages your blog to the hilt.

Imagine writing and placing a guest post for a blogger like Darren Rowse at Pro Blogger?

You’d expose your blog and brand to his 300,000 member community. Crazy traffic and list-building potential there.

Highly Recommended: Guest Post- 4 Reasons why you need to start writing it

Standing out enough to land a guestie on a top blog requires you to move into persistent, effective actions.

If you put in the work over months and years you can land on virtually any blog in the world.

I have placed guest posts on Pro Blogger, Positively Positive, The Huffington Post and Life Hack among other famous blogs by following these tips.

1: Write 1000 Words Daily for Practice

This is the simplest tip to become a prolific guest poster on top blogs.

Open a Word document. Write 1000 words daily. Trash the Word document.

Following this simple practice:

● Improves your writing skills
● Increases your writing confidence
● Allows you to find your writing voice
● Helps you to stand out enough to be featured on famous blogs

This is a straightforward, clear tip, which is the most important tip on this list. Unfortunately, most bloggers only write if they have a post to publish, making a huge mistake.

How can you impress top bloggers if you only write when you publish a new post, when I am writing 1000 to 5000 words daily, or more? I hone my skills so I own my skills and my persistent practice lands me guest posts on world-renowned blogs.

2: Build Friendships with Top Bloggers by Serving Them

Serve top bloggers.

Don’t ask top bloggers if you can place guest posts on their blog.

Ask how you can help them.

Be generous.Comment on top blogs effectively, publishing 3-4 paragraph, personalized comments to build friendships.Promote bloggers on social media. Feature bloggers on your blog.

Patiently help successful bloggers to befriend these blogging big dawgs. Some of your blogging buddies – if you persistently follow step #1 – will invite you to guest post on their blogs.

I have only pitched about 5 bloggers out of the 1000 plus guest posts I have placed online. Virtually all guest posting opportunities flowed my way via invites, without me ever reaching out to the blogger to pitch them.

This is attraction marketing in action. Help bloggers. Bloggers help you in return.

3: Follow Top Blogs to Match the Brand Voice

Follow top blogs.

Read the posts.

Get a feel for the specific writing voice.

Match the voice with your guest post.

Talented but lazy researchers fall flat in this department. Ego deludes them into believing they can write the post in their voice and place it. This strategy works okay for less popular blogs but world renowned blogs and brands have a clear, distinctive voice you need to understand and mimic to place a guest post on a top blog.

I read posts from top blogs for 1-2 months before submitting a guest post to said blogs. This ensures that I can match the brand voice, whether compassionate, biting, humorous, or serious.

4: Be Patient

This is not a robotic, linear process.

Follow steps 1-3 over months and years to land guest spots on top blogs.

I had to practice writing daily for years before I became skilled enough and clear enough to land a guest post on the 2.5 million reader community at Positively Positive.

You land on top blogs not by luck, or by some cosmic accident, but by persistently practicing your writing and building friendships with top bloggers.

Most bloggers skip writing practice or networking, which is why most bloggers struggle to land features on top blogs.

3 Key Concepts for Content Marketing for Profit

Everyone wants to write great articles, you know the type, the ones that generate plenty of traffic. The best content marketing has valuable content, with high-result keywords, and amazing, compelling calls to action. But how does that make you profit?

When you drive your traffic to a specific site, or page, the page can market to a highly-targeted niche. Those wonderful, lovely people who read what you write in content, will most likely be interested in whatever you’re selling too. That is… If what you write relates to what you sell.

1 – Write Quality Fun to Read Content

The better you write, the better your audience will read what you write. If you need ideas for what to write, look no further than what you like to read. You’re probably a good example of your own marketing niche. What do you like to read?

A mystery novel may not be proper or appropriate for some marketing types, but why not be creative and add some mystery to your content?

If it wasn’t all done on a dark and stormy night… perhaps you were inspired by the threatening clouds of gray skies and some odd noise being sparked in the night skies… Creative content goes a long way toward drawing in your target market.

2 – Focus on Keywords but Write for Real People

More often than you’d ever suspect, I get a message from a guest blogger offering to write a blog for me and the blog they send is so filled to the brim and overflowing with keywords, that it is unreadable. Write for real people. Keep it real. Like, occasionally include a story that’s more than one line long. And tell them what you really think. It’s okay to rant a little.

It makes people think you trust them when you tell them how you really feel. So, tell them. Be transparent. Then back it up with some accountability. And for reals… Give them something to sink their teeth into.

One of my favorite bloggers actually lets her hair down now and then, to let her readers see her in jammy pants and a tank top with no bra. She’s REAL. That’s what readers want to see, real people on the other side of the pen.

3 – Function Verses Concept is a Content Marketers Dream

Do you know who reads what you write? That question came up today in an online conference, and I realized that I have an exact replica of who reads what I write looking back at me every morning in the mirror. That’s what happens when you realize you’re writing for people who are just like you – except you figured it out… They’re still working on it. They need the solutions you offer and they’ll buy them, if you give them a solution they can recognize as VALUE.

Readers are smart. They’re not buying something that has no value. So move beyond the concept of having a solution to offering a functional solution that fills the need. Answer their questions in your content, don’t just tell them you’re going to. Do it.

Give them a functional response instead of a conceptual idea that you might know what you’re talking about. Get real. Give them VALUE.

HOW TO DOWNLOAD UDEMY TRAINING VIDEOS THAT COST $20 – $200+ FOR FREE

Good day everyone, am here again to bring a trick and tweak on how you can download videos free of charge on udemy. i believe we all know what or who are UDEMY.COM?
According to wikipedia, Udemy.com is a platform or marketplace for online learning. So now learning and know how to download instructional video which are price tagged will be very important to some internet marketers. Now let’s move to the game of the day.

For some time now, i have been upgrading my knowledge to ante-up my game with Udemy training videos. I discovered there are really some secrets in fiverr and other money making ventures that are not readily shared online or that are hard to find. But at udemy you can find them, but it comes at a price.If you have been to udemy.com, you will see their videos and training are quite pricey.

Well, i don’t have $99 to spend on each and every course i’m interested in, so i watch the videos for free. So how did i bypass the payment to download the videos and pdf for free? It’s very easy.

Use Chrome. Download FVD Downloader and Linkclump (both are chrome addons). Also you will need to open numerous udemy accounts for continous downloading.

On Udemy.com, pick your choice training. On the training intro page, you will see a navigation at the right menu and look for “FREE PREVIEW”. This free preview gives you 5 MINUTES only to preview the course and make a decision to buy it. In our black-hat way we only need 5 minutes to download all the videos grin emoticon.

Now when you click a video to preview, the FVD Downloader icon becomes active showing you there is a video to download. Click at the icon at the top right of your chrome, choose your video and it starts downloading. Repeat the same for other videos in the course within the 5 minutes time frame.

Well there are some courses that have more than 100 courses embedded so 5 minutes will not be enough and probably one account will not do. Now you will use Linkclump. When you get to the training page where the courses are listed (i.e before you get to video preview proper), right click and drag a rectangle to select all the course links. Immediately, all links will open in your chrome browser. Take note, your chrome can crash due to many tab links. So in this way you can start downloading the videos tab by tab.

When the 5 minutes preview is over, you will be taken out of the training page. Then, open another new udemy account which takes a few seconds, refresh your browser and continue from where you stopped.

So if you desire to increase your internet money making knowledge using udemy’s paid courses, then follow this guide. I believed this post has actually solved a person hard times with downloading videos on udemy, and your wonderful comments are highly welcome.So use it to your advantage.

Please before you leave, endeavour to share this post with your friends on facebook and other social medias, Sharing is caring.

How to Invite Contributors, Admins or Authors to your Blogger Blog

Hello there, so happy coming again this time to bring a valuable post that most people don’t really care about but very import. “How to invite admins” to your blogger blog. At one point in time you might want to extend your rate of publishing and you realize you can’t do it alone, probably because of tight schedule.

Owing to adding authors/admins to contribute to your blog. You’re are also getting skeptical of your private materials on the post but you only want to restrain them to just posting and replying to comments.

Before this post, I remember a reader seek for help that I should help her activate her AdSense code on mobile view, but she was very reluctant to making me a contributor on her blog, so she a send me her login details which I tell her it’s very wrong. If you send your blog login details to the wrong person, it might cost you the whole of your blog.

Therefore, to help those who don’t know how to invite others to contribute on their blogs, then you need to adhere strictly to the two-step process I explained below.

1. You can add someone to only contribute to your blog by posting contents and nothing more.

2. You can add someone to have the admin privilege i.e. have the same access you have as the owner.

These above steps are the types of privileges you can give others on your blog. Make sure you only grant step (2) to someone you trust. Anybody that has the step (2) privilege can even remove you as the owner of the blog, and the blog becomes his/hers. So,

How do you Invite contributors/admins/author to your blogger blogs

• Login into your blogger account

• Go to “Blogger Dashboard”

• Click on your “blog title”

• Navigate to “Setting” tab on the left side of your screen and then click on “Basic”

• Beneath permissions, click on +Add authors, enter the email address of the contributor(s) in the space provided and finally click on invite authors.

>>>An open box will come up where you will put the email of the contributor you are about to invite.

Conclusively, i believed you’ve learnt one or two things from this post and also the issue of adding contributor has been sorted. However, i still believe there are people out there who couldn’t reach their hands to this post, but with you, you can share out this post to your friends on social media.
