Christine Is Stuck Already!

So funny to wake up this morning to an email from Christine telling me she was “Stuck Already”.  Why is it funny? Because I know Christine already knows how to do this “stuff”… she is just trying to be a pain in my backside. 

Kidding!

This is the email:

Stuck already. lol

So do I go to Amazon and find for eg. Christmas party supplies or Christmas party games and do a write up or do I just waffle on about my Christmas parties here in Oz. I’ll start doing the latter until I hear from you.

There are days I tell Christine I’m going to get on a plane and fly over – just so I can slap her with a wet noodle.

So let’s all think about this for a minute. (I’m not trying to be “smart” with Christine – really – I’m just trying to get her out of her “waffle” stage)

Yesterday I told Christine she needed to write a blog post on each one of these subjects:

• Christmas Party
• Christmas Lights
• Popcorn popper
• Scrabble
• Candles
• Lego

Of course she has long tail keywords for each of those subjects that she is “supposed” to be using.

For instance – Christine asked about “Christmas Party Supplies” or “Christmas Party Games”.

One of the principles of IPK is to write about specific products.   (We are here to sell stuff – right?)

You can go one of two ways (at least – but I’ll stick with two):

1. Write about (waffle on) a Christmas party you have thrown yourself or attended – but be sure to include something in the story that “worked” or you found interesting or fun. Something that is related to a product.  A Product You Can Recommend With An Affiliate Link!
   
2. Write about a specific product (from Amazon) that you think is a great idea for someone throwing a Christmas party.  Write an article in “product review” style.

Because Christine is still trying to find her style and voice… I get that she is trying to please the teacher.  She also might be a bit skittish because I’ve picked some of her work apart in the past.

This is not the time to be timid or skittish.  Write like a fiend and get the content published!  As much and as fast as you can.  The more words on a blog – the more chances you have for “getting found”.  Simple as that.

Christine’s blogs will all look terrible to the eye for a while.

We don’t care about that. Really!

We could all spend a month getting our sites to look perfect – and then worry about writing great content.

It will be too late! This is all about Christmas and Holiday SHOPPING.  I can make a site look pretty dog – gone good in a short time… but it takes a ton of time to write – write – write.

As a side note - I would not really concentrate my time heavily on writing about “parties” stuff.  I would spend the majority of my time writing about all the niche topics:

• Christmas Lights
• Popcorn popper
• Scrabble
• Candles
• Lego

I have plenty of ideas to share with Christine… but I don’t want to overwhelm her with TMI (To Much Information) at one time.

p.s. Christine – you can also write an article or two about those R.C. things you were taking about last week.
