CHRIS G. ELKINS CONSULTING

By finding this blog, you’re doing a great job so far! You’ve taken a major step towards launching your own lifestyle . .

I have a confession to make. Although my co-founder and I used Young Broke & Brilliant services to launch Pixlplug™, we failed to take advantage of all the features when marketing our company. We failed to create a great turn-key launch experience. When we finally took the cover off, you could hear the eerie sound of crickets chirping.

It was scary. It made me second guess everything I had done to get to this point. It made for awkward co-founder conversations. I tried my best to avoid talking about the business with my wife and friends (didn’t last long). We had to learn everything about marketing our products on the web from scratch, and it’s been working since. Hey, we found you!

Don’t be scared. we are here for you:

We have taken everything we’ve learned growing our business and baked that right into the experience along with this blog. To create the ultimate launch ready, landing page experience, we’ve included intuitive features in our program:

Great launch strategies include landing pages that work on desktop AND mobile devices.
Awesome online forms designed to generate leads.
Simple email marketing to say “thank you” and integration with leading newsletter services

Magical customer demographic data to fill in information without asking the customer
A/B testing to find the best version of your online pitch
Integration with Facebook, WordPress, and your other web sites to capture customers wherever they are.

All of these features come with a paid subscription. . . One that you can try for FREE:

We know you’ll find all the blood, sweat, and tears we put into the product is worth it.

There is an old Chinese proverb: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is now.” You should have kicked off your latest marketing campaign last week, and it sucks that you missed that opportunity. Don’t wake up tomorrow thinking the same thing.

Thanks,

**HOW TO CREATE BLOG CONTENT FOR A NICHE SITE**

 **How to Create Blog Content**

One of the hardest things for any blogger is creating content for their blog.  This is difficult in the beginning because it is not always clear what your niche is or what they should be focusing on.  I wanted to share a few ideas that will hopefully be more positive and less likely to have you give up before you even get started.

You don’t need to be a guru.

Many new bloggers think they need to know their subject matter in great detail before they can start to write content for their blog.  I am here to say that this is not so.  It is important to Remember that we all have something unique to offer and what is important; especially if you want to grow and nurture your blogging abilities, is to share what you know, how ever little and put you own spin on it.

The more you write the more you will become comfortable in your own writing style. It is also important to remember that you don’t need to write lots and lots.  If you want to hold your readers attention, it’s a good idea to keep it short anyway or think about using other mediums like video, pictures, info-graphics and audio.

Whilst some bloggers may have a blog post in mind with a clear beginning, middle and end, it is OK to experiment. Start with a topic and just write, keeping it flowing until it comes to a logical end then create some attention grabbing title.

Listen, Read , Watch

The thing about great content is that it usually comes from some knowledge lodged somewhere in our minds, mixed with experience and a little bit of a personal spin on the topic.  The reason great content doesn’t always flow, is because you aren’t keeping your mind and inspiration fresh.  It is therefore really important  to keep your eyes, ears and mind open to new ideas.

You can do this by spending a small percentage of your time reading new material, books, other blogs, listening to inspirational or personal development type audio or watching videos.  There isn’t a magic formula but find the learning method that works best for you and start to absorb some new information and you will be able to create more and more great content.

If you would like to get inspiration from blogs and people just like you then I highly recommend the Tribe Syndication Association (TSA) you can find out more here

Blog Daily

This might seem like a really strange thing to say, but actually committing yourself to a blogging schedule will actually get you in to the habits of being a successful blogger.  It will also help you develop your imagination and really build you leverage in terms of creating more traffic to your site.

Keep a look out for blogging challenges.  They normally last for 30 days and are a great way to get you off to a good start.  You will be surprised at how much you already know and the knowledge you have that you can blog about.

Where you can get more ideas

As well as reading other blog posts, videos on You Tube or a book or too, I also like to use some really cool sites that have all kinds of information, that you can browse.  I especially like Alltop, Mashable and Problogger.  But depending on your niche, do a search for some quality sites that are of interest and start creating some new content from what you find,

Let me know how you get it on..your blog. ;0
