Monday Motivational

Monday comes around every time this week and always seems to catch me off guard. You would think after all this time, I could catch on that it was coming. But no … I let the weekend get away with me. Monday morning arrives and seems to shock my system.

Well we are back to it, here it is again, MONDAY.

Mondays are a time for beginnings. Time to plan your week, your month. They are a time to get organized.

My goal for this Monday is to do just that. I am going to start with my cluttered desk. Since we are moving, (8 weeks today) a lot of this stuff has to go. I would post a picture, but I am just too embarrassed to let everyone see what a state of decline my desk has sunk to. So first I will declutter my desk. Then my goal is to plan out my writing for the week and break it down into manageable chunks. I have a lot to get done this week, so I have to plan on what to do when.

So what’s my motivation this week? Organization. Thats it. I am going to be stunned into productiveness by my brilliant organization. Won’t you join me???

What is Content? Do You Have Enough of It?

Content, content, content ….

Seems that everyone that builds a website is looking for it. But what is good content? How do you get good content? How much is enough good content?

Content is what gets people to come visit your internet home. It is where you store your information, your know how, the stuff that people are looking for. It is your “hook” to draw people in. Content gives them a reason to come and visit your site.

Good content is information that is correct, timely and interesting. Now that being said what is interesting to you and I may not be to Joe down the street, no offense Joe. Good content for me, may not be good content for everyone.

It has to be good content for your target market. It has to have the voice of your site. The content has to speak to your target market.

And let’s face it, not everyone has the time to sit and write out content for themselves. Some people just don’t like to write. That is where ghost writers and PLR come in.

Your time is worth money. If you would rather be doing something else for your business, get it done and outsource the writing. There are great ghostwriters out there. They will take your ideas, keywords and write the great content you need. Content that reflects your target markets needs. That content can then turn around and start making you money. You may have to invest in a good ghost writer, but in the long run, a good writer is worth their weight in gold.

PLR is another option. PLR is available in different themes, voices and lengths. PLR stands for Private Label Rights. You can join a monthly membership where you get so many articles a month or buy various packets on different themes. These are articles you can change, put in your own information and make your own. The research is done for you, you only have to make it your own. My favorite PLR source is All Private Label Content. They offer a variety of topics and have well written articles. Take a look around and see if any suit your needs!

I will be offering PLR packets in the near future. I am gathering ideas for women’s health, aromatherapy and green living. Is there a specific topic you would like to see covered in a PLR packet? Leave me your ideas in the comment section. I am always open to ideas to write about.

I also have a few openings left this month for article writing. If you are interested in hiring a ghost writer, why not drop me an email and we can get started! April is filling up fast so get your request in.
