Written by Annette Elton · Print This Article
In a few posts I’ve talked about editing later as a means to write more quickly but also more effectively.
When you pause to edit your spelling and/or grammar you interrupt the thought process. It slows you down and has the potential to disrupt your flow and affect your content.
I’ve had many people mention that they struggle with this “Write fast, edit later” rule. It’s just too tough to implement. Editing as you write has become a habit. Consider, if you’re looking for more clarity in your writing and you want to write faster, trying this experiment.

Written by Annette Elton · Print This Article

As such there are many ways to create content including something that’s called “User Generated Content.” It’s a term that has a broad definition, however to keep things simple here we’ll define it as content that is generated by your audience and your community.
Still a little confusing, right? I mean how do they generate content for you? I have a first hand experience to share that hopefully demonstrates one powerful way to find User Generated Content.

Do You Have Yours?
Written by Annette Elton · Print This Article
Last week Google released their long anticipated Caffeine. I don’t profess to be an expert on search engine algorithms but I do know there are some real benefits and challenges to this new system.
And if you’re an online marketer, it’s even more important now to publish new content on your website regularly.
That either means spending more time writing, or learning how to write a bit faster. Because you probably don’t have a whole lot of time to spare, here are a few tips that work for me to write more content in less time.
5 Quick Tips for Putting a Professional Shine on Your Reports
Written by Annette Elton · Print This Article
Reports have a variety of uses. As you likely know, they can be used to motivate opt-ins. They’re used to establish credibility and authority and they can be used to virally market your business. The more professional your report looks, the stronger of an impression you’re likely to leave – of course a terrible looking report would leave a strong impression too but that’s not the image we’re after!

While working on a client project recently I came across the book “Crush It! Why Now is the Time to Cash in on your Passion,” by Gary Vaynerchuk. (Great read by the way, highly recommended.)
In the book Vaynerchuk talks about content styles – among other things he’s a a video blogger and has won acclaim for his Wine Library TV blog.
He offers three types of content bloggers and business owners can create depending on their DNA – their personality, aptitude and preference.

Do You Have a Content Emergency Account?
Written by Annette Elton · Print This Article
A few weeks ago I wrote a post on the benefits of keeping an editorial calendar. It helps keep you on track and is a great place to plan your content. However, if you’re like me and you work on a day-to-day basis, it doesn’t take much to throw you off track. (A couple of really busy weeks threw me way behind when it came to blogging.) For many, a few busy days or weeks and suddenly you’re way behind.
The solution…
…create a stockpile of content or an emergency content savings account, so when life gets busy and unforeseen events arise, your business and your content marketing strategy don’t suffer.
