February 6
Happy Saturday!!!
We’re having a heatwave….a tropical heatwave…..ok, so not quite, but the sun IS out, the sky IS blue and the temps are rising – we should get above freezing today 😉
And that means that spring is right around the corner….more or less…so I thought I would dig out some pretty floral covers. Actually, today you get 4 florals and 2 fun vintage steampunk covers with full PLR/Commercial Use rights.
Download them here – no optin necessary since you are on the newsletter list already:
6 Covers
A Question From A Reader:
This is a question that I receive frequently, and I thought I would answer it here..
Q: How do you choose what products to promote?
A: Very carefully!! Sometimes there are so many new products released, that it is overwhelming, so I try to choose what I think will benefit us the most. And I say US, because I also buy most of the products I recommend. Whenever possible, I will go through a product and check it out before including it, especially software tools. But no matter how much you test, a bug can pop up later that was not evident during testing. It happens and that is why I rarely promote a product from someone that I do not know. So many times, if an issue does arise, I can reach out to the vendor and get it resolved quickly, and that makes a huge difference to your customers – and your reputation!
On a sidenote: If I do NOT promote something, especially in the PLR niche, it does not mean that I don’t like it, it might just be that I know someone else is able to offer you a better bonus for it, or the newsletter was already too long that day. There are so many new products that launch in our space every day, that it is tough to keep up with them all!! 😉
MONDAY WORKSHOP!!
Yes, The Jim Daniels Bonus Email Marketing Workshop is on! Power is not blinking and hopefully, we won’t be buffering on Zoom! Your details for this are in your account on WARRIOR PLUS!!!
You do need to pre-register for the workshop, so give yourself a few minutes beforehand to go through the process.

I am a long-time member of the PiggyMakesBank business content membership, and it’s probably one of the better values online.

ClickDesign is one of the best software editing tools I have come across in quite a while, and it includes a ton of graphics and templates as well as commercial use rights. It’s a one-time cost of $47 and creates much better 3D images and product bundles than anything else I am using (you haven’t seen mine in a while because it sorta looks 1990ish??). I was about ready to pull the trigger for a $77 replacement when this came along! BONUS: Buy through my link and get a $10 coupon

Use Alt Tags in Images
As you’re adding images, include text in the alt tags that describes the image, but also includes your main key word. As with the other tags and formatting tips, this will help with ranking.
Use Your Keywords in the Text
Last but not least, give your post a quick scan and make sure you’ve used your keyword several times in the main body of your post. Again, it’s important to strike a good balance here. Don’t overdo it, but also don’t forget to include it. In a 400+ word article like this, using the keyword about 3 times is a good general rule of thumb.

How To Optimize A Blog Post For SEO?
Here’s some good tips on How To Format A Blog Post For Search Engines….
Use H Tags
Using H tags like <h1>, <h2> etc. show search engines what words on the page are important. Use an H1 tag for your post title. If you’re using blogging software like WordPress, your theme should take care of this for you.
But don’t stop there. You can use various other H tags throughout your content. Let’s say your blog post can be split up into two major sections like this post for example. One section is about formatting for readers, the other for search engines. Those subheadings are H2 tags.
Bold Key Words
This one is easy. If you haven’t already done so for your readers, find your main keyword and make it bold. This will also show search engines this particular word or piece of text is important. Don’t overdo it though.
Use Alt Tags in Images
As you’re adding images, include text in the alt tags that describes the image, but also includes your main key word. As with the other tags and formatting tips, this will help with ranking.
Use Your Keywords in the Text
Last but not least, give your post a quick scan and make sure you’ve used your keyword several times in the main body of your post. Again, it’s important to strike a good balance here. Don’t overdo it, but also don’t forget to include it. In a 400+ word article like this, using the keyword about 3 times is a good general rule of thumb.
Down and Dirty Formatting Tips to Make Your Blog Posts Shine
We live in a world where people have very short attention spans. We’re bombarded by so much content every single day, we can’t possible read and consume it all. The solution we have developed is to scan things quickly and decide if we want to invest the time to read the article, watch the video, or listen to the podcast.
Our blog readers are no different. That’s why it is important to format your posts in a way that makes it easy to scan, get a quick idea of what the post is about, and then make a decision about reading it. That’s what formatting is all about. It’s an important step in your blogging process.
Add to that the fact that formatting is also an important part of on-page SEO and it is something you should be paying a lot of attention to.
Formatting For Your Readers
Always start by formatting for your readers. While search engines are important, they won’t do you any good if you can’t convince people to read your post.
Make It Easy To Scan the Content
The most important thing you can do for your readers is to make it easy to scan the content. Use headlines, break up text, etc. to make it quick and easy to scan the post and figure out what it’s about. Of course your headline and your images are a big part of this.
Break Up Things into Bulleted or Numbered Lists
Breaking up things, tips, ideas, etc. into lists. Depending on context, those could be bulleted or numbered lists.
Lists are easy to ready, quick to scan, and help readers consume your content.
Keep Your Paragraphs Short
Reading online is different from reading a print book or newspaper. It’s much harder on the eyes, and since we’re consuming so much written content on a daily basis and scan a lot, our attention span when it comes to reading has gone down quite a bit.
Make it easy on your readers to read your posts by keeping your paragraphs short. One to three sentences is usually all you want in each.
Bold important Concepts
Highlight the most important concepts or key words of your post by bolding them. Not only does this help readers understand that this is an important point, it also helps with scanning before they commit to read your post.
