Question – What do you do when you are in the middle of a 30 day blog post challenge and you get so busy that you fall 2 days behind?
Answer – You pull out the old “10 Minute Blog Posting” system that I am so proud to have created!
Now the decision is do I just use it or do I explain it to you. Of course it will take me a lot longer to explain it to you than if I just whipped out a few posts over the next 30 minutes. OK, you win I’ll explain it.
After listening to so many people say they didn’t know what they would blog about or they didn’t know how they would come up with enough to say on a regular basis I came up with a great way for busy people to blog quickly!
Before we can start we have to take care of a little background work. You have to know the theme of your blog. Do you write a blog about business, family, parents, weddings, dancing?
Once you know your theme you have to know your keywords. You probably already know this but if you don’t stop right now and do some research to determine 3 to 5 main keywords you will use for your blogging.
Step 1 of the 10 minute blog post:
Go to www.Youtube.com or www.Ezinearticles.com and find either a video or an article that is interesting and has your keyword in the title.
I searched one of my prime keywords “women business owners” and found this great video from Kim Kiyosaki of Rich Women. The video is “Rich Women – Goals and Ideals”
Now that you have your video you….. oh wait that is part two which will be coming in a few hours. Be sure to check back or better yet follow my blog on NetworkedBlogs – you’ll see the link on the right side.
Want to talk to me about my 10 minute blog posting system? I will be holding a FREE teleseminar today to talk about this and how I grew my Facebook Fan Page so quickly – during the call will be a Q&A section. You are welcome to call in and ask me any questions you might have.
That’s an excellent tip for you tube, or ezine articles Michele. I never thought to look there. Im looking forward to the future steps :)
Your welcome Fiona! I have to tell you that I love the name “Abnormal Marketing”. It always catches my attention. You put out some really great stuff and every time I see it pop up on Twitter I feel the need to check it out!! :)) Michele
Ezine is an excellent source for blog post inspiration. Doing a search there has given me lots of ideas for articles. Sometimes I read something and think, there’s a different way to say that, and other times I read one sentence and it sends me off on a tangent. Either way I get a post.
good information! Thanks Michele.
Awesome Rob – I am so glad you enjoyed the post. Oh and thank you so much for your support on Twitter. Michele
This is an interesting way to get ideas and bonus content. Plus getting a post done in 10 minutes! Looking forward to your next post.
Hey Sheila – I am so glad you enjoyed it. The next post will be out soon and you will see how easy it is to pull it all together! Michele

I’ll back up Fiona’s comment, Michelle. And you sure know how to create anticipation and curiosity! :-)
The 30-day blogging challenge is the perfect time to introduce your system to everyone. After all, we’re about to reach the halfway mark but there’s still a lot of blogging to do!
Anxiously awaiting part 2 — be back later!

LOL Melanie, When you see how easy it is you’re going to be shocked. I am glad I got that curiosity going but someday I want to be able to write like you – you are so funny. Everyday I think I wonder what she will say today and then today you come out with “Add a Splash of Humor to Your Biz” Thanks for the inspiration! Michele
Michele:
Great tips. Have not used ezine articles and will definitely consider using their articles for my blog. You Tube has so many video to upload onto one’s blog especially if one does not want to make personal videos.
Hey Jane – Yes your right. If you look back a couple of posts you will see how I used 6 ezinearticles to create a blog post. http://decisiveminds.com/blogging-on-ezinerticles-com/565 – It wasn’t a 10 minute post because I wanted to include multiple articles but you can get the idea! Thanks for commenting, Michele
Michele
Great topic. I have yet to write a blog post in 10 minutes. I have plenty of material. It is efficent writing of that matterial I am looking forward to developing. Looking forward to your next post.
Blessings, Mary Pat
Thanks Mary Pat, I am so glad you enjoyed it! Michele

Hi Michele,
Thank you for these great ideas. I did go to Youtube earlier in the month and referenced a video for boomerpreneurs. Great suggestion by you to check ezine articles. I will look into that as well.
I am loving this challenge. Thank you for all you do.

WooHoo Cindy!! I am so glad you are loving the challenge. Thank goodness we have a rule that says we don’t have to blog every single day though. I have had such a busy week with my new clients and traveling to choose a hotel for my event in March – I am a couple of blogs behind but I am going to catch up right now. :))

Hello, I like this post but I don’t know where to start.
My blog is almost 2 months only, and I’ve no page rank yet. Can I use this to monetize my blog? If yes, how? if not, what I’m going to do? Thanks in advance. God bless you.
Erje – I am glad you enjoyed the post. This is a good way to get posts up quickly on your site. To get it ranked you should be sharing it on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook and you should be commenting on lots of other blogs – they will link back to your site and help you out a little bit. Hope that helps, Michele
Hello! Very helpful post. I am still on my learning process about blogging. Abundant blessings for you. God bless!
