One aspect of content writing that isn’t often discussed is FLOW.

Flow is what makes your writing sound seamless. It’s what makes your writing read naturally.

When there is flow, people who read your writing will feel like they’re gliding through your content, learning and enjoying their way through.

When there isn’t flow, the writing will feel choppy. It’ll feel unnatural and it just won’t be as fun to read.

The best writers in the world have all mastered flow. It’s an essential part of writing content that people want to read.

What creates flow and how can you add flow to your writing? Let’s take a look. Read more…

Easy Content Weekly: October 29, 2011

Another month nearly come and gone. Where does the time go?

For me, the end of the month means planning content for the following up. I need to assign content for my ghostwriters and even make sure I plan my topics, so I am not floundering for ideas when the time comes to write. It’s the worst when you get all excited, log into your blog and then nothing happens.

How do you plan your content? By the way, you can download these free content planning tools if you need some help.

Planning Your Social Media Content

Here’s a question for you and one we originally posed for our All Custom Content subscribers. Do you consciously create content specifically for social media?

Certainly, there’s a lot going on in your business and while social media has its purpose, it’s often put on the back burner when it comes to MEANINGFUL participation.

One thing you can do is pre-write your tidbits of wisdom, humor or thought-provoking ideas. Sure, the purists say you can’t plan social media interaction, but you’re not planning interaction. You’re planning interesting things your followers want to read…the interaction is the icing on the cake and that happens naturally.

Whether you decide to pre-schedule your updates using a tool like Hootsuite or you want to post them manually when you’re
available for interaction, that’s up to you.

When people look at your blog, one thing they use to determine how credible they think you are is the number of comments your posts get.

Easy Content Weekly: October 22, 2011

Well this has been an interesting weekend and a little quiet, given Alice’s surprising announcement to her list the other day.

If you missed it, Alice has been doing some soul-searching on the future of Contentrix. As you may know she is heavily involved with the PLR and ghostwriting side of her business, so she was wondering if it was time to pass the site onto someone else.

In that announcement, she wanted to ensure current customers and clients that they would have full access to their products, so there was no need to worry about that.

If you have any issues or questions, you are most welcome to contact the support center here. They are always happy to give you a hand.

• Launched on July 27, 2009.
• Served 530 individual students through its educational products.
• Played host to 295, 219 visitors
• Published 467 posts with 1859 comments

Whatever Alice has planned for Contentrix’s future, we look forward to many more.
