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.

A Recommendation

Writer Mama: How to Raise a Writing Career Alongside Your Kids What a great book, for all those moms out there that want to write. I went out and treated myself to the bookstore the other day and purchased this book. It was my treat. I have cut way back on my book buying, honest I have …. but ….

I couldn’t pass this book up! I mean really, Look at the tittle! Writer Mama: How to Raise a Writing Career Alongside Your Kids Could anything be more me??

Now I haven’t gotten very far, life is getting in the way, but the ideas she has in the first section of the book is awesome! It’s all about preparation. Things like ideas, target markets, benefits and finding time to write.

I am sure the rest of the book is going to be as great as the first part. If you are a mom that is wanting to write, or who writes and wants help in getting it, check out this great book!  You won’t regret it!
