- Frustrated by Blogger's Block? Try this Exercise!
Feeling frustrated today about a lack of ideas to write about on your blog? If so, you’re not alone. Here’s another technique that I use to overcome it.
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post here on ProBlogger that gave a tip for fighting blogger’s block. It asked you to identify a problem that you had three years ago and to write a post that solved that problem for your readers.
Another variation on that technique for overcoming blogger’s block is to write a post that taps into a “feeling” that your readers might typically have.
There are probably thousands of bloggers in your niche writing content to solve the problems of your readers, but I bet that in most niches, most of them don’t look after the feelings of their readers.
Acknowledge and work with those feelings, and you’ll be blogging with empathy—not only solving problems, but making emotional connections with your readers. You’ll also be connecting with different personality types than if you just write a dry how-to type post.
Which feelings should you concentrate on? While negative feelings might be the obvious choice I think there’s a case for writing about the whole gamut of feelings:
- Feeling lost? Here’s a way forward.
- Feeling paralyzed? Here’s how to get moving.
- Feeling excited? Here’s how to capture that excitement and use it for good.
- Feeling lonely? Here’s a place to connect with others.
- Feeling overwhelmed? Here’s how to navigate that.
- Feeling fearful? Here’s how to overcome your fear.
You’ll notice in the above examples I’ve taken each of the feelings and then written a how-to response, but there are other ways to tap into the feelings of your readers, too.
One great way to do it is to tell a story.
- Feeling Lost? Here’s a time I felt that, and here’s what happened.
Another way to tap into feelings is to start a discussion.
- What do you do when you’re feeling overwhelmed with your work.
So sit down today and think about what kinds of feelings and emotions your readers might have.
You might get some hints in the comments section of your blog. You may also want to think about your own feelings and emotions (past and present) as they pertain to your topic.
Once you’ve identified a feeling, write a post that starts with that feeling. Acknowledge it up front, then write something that helps your readers to move forward from that place.
I’d love to see links below to the posts you write after doing this exercise! Please do share them.

Переслать - Build Keyword Density the Right Way
This guest post is by Bill Achola of SeoArticleWriteService.com.
It would be great if the only purpose of your copywriting was to sell your products. Unfortunately your copy often has to serve two purposes: attracting visitors to your site, and then selling to them.
Attracting traffic using copy requires using search engine optimizing techniques, and adding keywords. Using the topic of baby food, in this post we will look at a few ways to include keywords in your copy.
Keep it natural
The key to successful keyword optimizing in your copy is to keep it natural. As Greg McFarlane points out in his post Why Bieber SEO Copywriting Sex Doesn’t iPad Work Minecraft, people often make the mistake of overloading the text with keywords, and replacing every generic key term with the keyword or phrase. This will not give you high-quality persuasive copy, as you can see in the following example.
Keyword = baby foods
As new mothers we all want our babies to have the best baby foods; we spend a lot of time researching good baby foods recipes and making sure we buy high-quality baby foods. Giving your child a good start in life with healthy baby foods ad not giving them baby foods that they are not ready for, is one of the major concerns of new parents.
The above example is not only annoying to read, parts of it have been made grammatically incorrect in an attempt to use the keyword as often as possible. While you might get a lot of traffic to your website from parents searching for the keyword “baby foods,” they will quickly move onto another site when they start reading.
Make sure you select your keywords carefully so that they fit in easily with the subject of your copywriting. This will improve the flow of your copy, increasing your sales conversions.
Here are three ways to include keywords naturally.
1. Break up keywords phrases
It can be hard to fit a long keyword phrase into your copywriting. I was once asked to use the key phrase “baby food recipes 6 months.” This is an awkward phrase to use altogether, but it works well when split up by punctuation. Search engines read straight punctuation marks such as full stops, commas and colons so think how you can use these to split your keyword phrase.
Keyword phrase = baby food recipes 6 months
Look no further for tasty and healthy baby food recipes. 6 months is the perfect time to start introducing your bay to new tastes and textures.
The above example keeps the keyword phrase intact so it will be recognized by the search engines, but does not seem out of place or awkward.
2. Lengthen the keyword phrase
Some phrases are difficult to include because they are singular when you would usually use a plural or vice versa. Adding words to the end of the phrase can help you overcome this problem as well as giving you inspiration for your writing.
Keyword = food for baby
- Food for bay weaning
- Food for baby meals
- Food for baby taste buds
Adding a word or two to the end of this phrase makes it less grammatically awkward and helps you to fit it into your copy writing sounding repetitive.
3. Use a keyword phrase that describes what your product is not
Take the example of the keyword “cheap baby food.” When a parent enters this search term they are looking for good value, high-quality baby food that they do not have to pay very much for.
However, if you describe your product as cheap baby food, it will give the impression that it is poor quality, and therefore not great for their precious child. Avoid this by using the keyword to describe what your product is not.
Keyword = cheap baby food
Try out one of our healthy, easy-to-make recipes as an alternative cheap baby food. Once you've tasted one of these nutritious homemade meals, you'll never want to feed your little one cheap baby food again.
Using the above techniques will ensure your copywriting remains natural and that you don't have to sacrifice quality to keyword density.
A final tip: write your copy first and then go back with your keywords in mind and place them where appropriate. This will make your copy flow more naturally, and will appeal both to your readers and the search engines.

Профессионализм, высокая квалификация, коммуникабельность – как правило, эти качества ценятся больше, чем записи в трудовой книжке. Однако, существенный перерыв в трудовом стаже соискателя может заставить нанимателя усомниться в компетенции специалиста. Стоит ли руководителю рассматривать таких кандидатов или сразу же отсеивать работников с «пробелами» в трудовых книжках?
Заработать на акциях можно несколькими способами. Можно приобрести акции и в конце каждого года получать пусть небольшие, но дивиденды. Можно для получения дохода использовать изменение цен на акции на фондовых биржах – такие инвестиции делаются в расчете на длительную перспективу – до нескольких лет. Доход от таких инвестиций будет сформирован из разницы начальной стоимости акций и стоимости, за которую они будут проданы. Еще одним способом заработать на акциях является спекуляция. Принцип ее действия тот же, что и при инвестировании, однако все операции проводятся в течении одного биржевого дня.
Каждому человеку в силу каких-либо обстоятельств может пригодиться съемная квартира. Студенты, командированные специалисты, молодая семейная пара – все эти люди очень часто нуждаются во временном жилье. Аренда квартиры, как правило, считается самым оптимальным решением проблемы. Конечно, можно обратиться за помощью в поиске необходимого жилья в специализированное агентство недвижимости, но такая фирма обязательно потребует оплату своих услуг. Сегодня мы расскажем с чего нужно начать, решив арендовать квартиру без посредников.
Если небольшие суммы банки готовы одалживать даже без предоставления каких-либо справок, то кредиты в более крупных размерах заемщик может получить, только обеспечив их возвратность. В качестве такого обеспечения может выступать коммерческая и жилая недвижимость, разных видов автотранспорт, промышленное оборудование, земельные участки и т.д. Однако практически всегда банки заставляют заемщиков нести дополнительные расходы, связанные со страхованием залога – это снижает риски невозврата заемных средств, если по какой-то причине залоговое имущество будет утрачено.
