Back to how you can create blog posts in 10 minutes or less. As we discussed in part 1 to begin with you should know your keywords. There are plenty of blog posts about keywords so we will not go into further detail about this.
Step 1 was to find a video or article using your keyword. If your remember I found a video for my blog post from Kim Kyosaki.
**Want to create curiosity and a little buzz? Use a video or article from a well known individual in your industry. When you tweet or share information about your post you can include their name which will peak peoples interest.
Step 2 Once you have placed the video or article on your post then write a few lines above it and below it and your post is ready to go.
**Want your 10 minutes to add up to web traffic? Be sure to use your keyword in your text a few times and always mention the person who created the video or article.
I can hear you now – what makes this mine? What makes it uniquely yours is that you wrote the text – you wrote the description of what you learned, saw, read in a way that only you would write it.
Would you like an example of what I am talking about? Here is the post I would make with the video that I found.
As women business owners we are always setting goals. I found this wonderful video created by Kim Kyosaki from www.RichWomen.com in which she talks about the one thing we can change to make sure we celebrate our accomplishments.
She made some really amazing points. Do you compare your accomplishments or achievements to where you were or to your ideals? It is so easy for us as women business owners to compare them to our ideals which, Kim explains, are unattainable.
I love the idea of thinking of your ideals as the horizon – try as hard as you can but you will never reach the horizon!
Great advice! I’ve worked with a few women in the past who were never happy with their accomplishments and that always amazed me. Meanwhile I’m jumping up and down when I’ve figured out how to do something that I thought I would never be able to do.
Thanks for sharing!

LOL Tina! I know what you mean – I have been known to do a happy dance in my office a time or two! Thanks Michele
Thanks for the great lessons today and I love this video you selected as an example for doing this type of post!
You rock!

Your very welcome Melanie!!
This is a brilliant video with great points, thanks for sharing. The points Kim makes are so relevant
I know Suzie. One of the bonuses of doing blog posts like these are that I get to view some wonderful videos as well. Thanks for commenting, Michele
I love using video. In another niche, I created 28 videos that have been powerful in creating backlinks to my site. The secret is to keep them short… 3 to 5 minutes. Some of my cooking videos are 10 minutes long but I couldn’t get through the cooking procedure any faster…. but there are not many long videos.
I love the idea of using a well known individual’s video to help promote your site or product. Thanks for the tip.
Hey Kathryn – I’m glad you brought that up – I think the length of the video is also important. People are in such a hurry these days that sometimes short and sweet is the winner. Thanks, Michele

Great tip on using videos from a well know source or industry leader. I just love Kim Kyosaki.
Valuable info. Lucky me I found your site by accident, I bookmarked it.
This is such a good idea and simple way to keep my readers happy by providing them with great content.
I just had to come back and say that I have been using this method on one of my sites. It is so great! I love it. I have several niche sites I want to get up and running and I will be using this method.
Thanks!
Somehow I never quite got to learning your 10 minute post system when you first presented it. I’m so glad I found it now. What a super method!
That video is great. I’ve done both comparisons when I’ve reached a goal, which one depending on how “important” the goal was. Yes, I could celebrate silly stuff, but the idealized, life-changing stuff had a tougher standard. Yikes! I’ll put an end to that nonsense from now on! Thank you!

Hi Michele,
Thanks for this. Such a simple thing. Sometimes I think we somehow wish to make things more complicated. “I must do it all myself” Like there aren’t other fabulous people sharing pertinent information! My next post will do this strategy.
Thanks Jennifer – Sometimes we just need someone to make it simple for us. Michele
Michele, Thank you, it is profound how impactful a simple blog post can be, meaning yours. This is superb information, and one I’ll commit to doing, well tomorrow! I shared this to hold myself accountable, so feel free to check on me. Thanks again, Sue
I will Sue – Thank you so much for sharing! I will be checking on your blog to see how it is going.

Hello everyone, I simply had to point out that the website’s template is very awesome in my own opinion.
Hey Gregory – Glad you like it. Thanks for stopping by. Michele
Some of the advice here sound really good and I hope to write it down and use it in the future. Particularly the part about sharing a useful video that isn’t yours – it also gave me a couple of other ideas! So thanks.
Hey Tad – How is the blogging going? Have you found other videos you could use in your blog posts? Be sure to let us know how things are going. Thanks, Michele
Hi Michele,
I really like this tip on writing blog posts. It’s very helpful For me and a smart way to come up with post ideas that’s keyword rich and leverage the people who are popular in your niche.
I will be back to read more!
That’s a great strategy not only for creating speedy blogposts, but also to be seen as a good resource-provider to your readers..and…to help you get noticed by the influencers in your niche, as they will likely have Google alert set up and will see themselves being talked about in a good way – always a good ice breaker!
Thanks Michele :-)
