An 18 Minute Private Lesson in Blogging with Jim Harmer

[@IncomeSchool]

Hey everyone! here's the video you should watch after this one (the one about winning snippets!): kzbin.info/www/bejne/nouZmYejd5iJhZI

[@hillbillyjo]

HI Jim! Can you guys cover multiple snippets in one post? One post showing separate snippets for multiple queries is the idea.

[@steel971]

Hello, You're on another planet compare to all KZbinr that talk about SEO. 😉 Continue your excellent work

[@RossyDourado]

I LOVE JIM'S ENERGY..... omgggg i am high on Motivation to just write a blog post right awayyyyyy

[@Monoperty]

‘A picture paints a thousand words’ Also, recent research has shown: ‘A one minute video is worth 1.8 million words’. A very informative video Jim, thanks 👍

[@vprice84]

A picture is worth a thousand words?

[@johnmcintyre9741]

Experience makes a difference. I write a post easily having years of experience with my niche. I still do hours of research finding others perspectives on topics. It allows me to write a complete answer to the topic.

[@k.w.2651]

John, would love to read some of your blogs! Where are you? 👍

[@GaryWasylenko]

"A picture is worth 1000 words." :D (you threw me off too... I had to stop and think after the video to let it come to me) LOL

[@sebastianellis6110]

I actually used this in my recent blog post ... lol pixabay all the way!

[@africaart]

Poor guy, he is getting old with all the single gray hair.

[@jasonstallworth]

The dedicated workspace is crucial. I have tried writing on the couch and that does not work at all for me...lol! Seriously, we turned our dining room into an office side we don’t eat there anyway. That works well for me because I also have my calendar and notebooks on the table. And I also write on the patio when it’s nice outside.

[@loganjukes8820]

Meanwhile, I'm sat here at 28 with an almost full head of grey hair, wishing I could find a new brown hair!

[@thatguynicky1979]

Nah braj, rock out the silver mane!

[@DarthSwahlGaming]

I’m sitting here at 29 knowing I’ve been unable to grow hair on my head since I was 18 🤣

[@AlfieCarver]

First time I see someone excited about thinning crown and a white hair, and I love it. As a guy with thinning hair and lots of white up there, I felt like: "wait a minute. This means I can be excited about this instead of worrying all the time?" Thanks for that (and for the blogging lessons!)

[@metuustwitch3558]

I'm listening to uplifting trance when writing. I'm on fire with that kind of music! ;)

[@sherrysimler2445]

Thank you so much for this video! This has lifted a huge cloud from my mind. I have needed parameters so I could understand how to organize what I write for a blog and this has given me some great guidelines. Write answers to queries directly and with specific facts is so helpful for me. Thanks again!

[@KaterinaGasset]

I loved this video! Jim is an awesome teacher and motivator! I love the three versions you go over! That makes so much sense.

[@cuttystrength4142]

I write similar to how you approach it. I come up with the skeleton, the headings and general flow of the ideas. I work on "filling in those sections" and then adding in the media. I tend to stray from you on how you like to work from one spot and then move onto the next idea. I struggle when shifting to a different task, so I tend to do better writing the whole article, then adding the media and cleaning up any long sentences and fixing white space. Love the video.

[@simoncrowe85]

I love how excited and passionate you get Jimmy, you're an inspiration to us all! Best video you've ever done :)

[@RotterStudios]

great video as always. my fav channel

[@24SevenMarketing]

Finding the right environment where you can be creative is important in many jobs ... not just writing a blog. When I was writing software for one of the first digital document programs back in the 1970s I use to disappear from the huge accounting and management insulting firm where I worked in downtown Washington DC . I would go to a small alcove I discovered in the national art museum where there was a bunch of large palm trees and a water feature with some comfortabke chairs and soend hours lost in my programming code.

[@celtpro]

I was writing about the topic of writing yesterday on Medium. It is strange when you write about something and you then have a video about it. Just like Jim silence is how I like writing and finding a time that is suitable for you is crucial. Lots of people have their favourite place and noise levels that suit them.

[@vijayjan8608]

Saying the same stuff over 100s of videos and still capturing interest like u do is a skill.

[@niand01]

I am absolutely devastated to have missed your live show. i have watched all your uploads on your network of 4 channels and have waited years for the chance to ask a few questions. please consider doing future streams. p24 'member, i would have loved to have had a 2 minute w/s review :( thanks for the input you have given us all, over the years !

[@BluesbyPriyanka]

The sound quality has definitely improved. I had to use a bluetooth speaker while listening to your previous videos. Thanks for improving the mic quality

[@mattiefee]

A picture in a thousand photos is worth words...??

[@Telluwide]

Jim is the first man I've ever heard looking forward to grey hair and male pattern baldness. Great attitude though)

[@jc4evur661]

The difficulty here is that many questions can be answered thoroughly in just a couple of paragraphs. When writing a short Response post that would make the rest of the article...fluff or being off topic just to fill out the article.

[@aaronfreeman8252]

This was a phenomenal video! Excellent information. I loved it 🙂

[@roybrettononline]

Thank you, Jim, it's always a pleasure to listen to your videos, although today I watched! Normally when I listen to your videos I am working my off-line business, so, I can only listen! Today is a bank holiday in the UK, so I had the pleasure of watching your video! I literally listen to all of your videos, they are highly informative and packed with very useful information. I should really take the time to comment more. I always lookout for the KZbin alerts around Monday lunchtime UK time. Wishing you both all the best. Roy PS: Just be aware that once the first grey hair appears, more will quickly follow, I speak from experience! I guess it's the same with online sales, once you make that first sale, more seem to follow!

[@michelle_m_m]

I am blown away that someone could write a whole blog post in an hour! I'm so slow. Also, Jim, I'm 36 and only have a couple white hairs in my eyebrows. None in my hair yet. :(

[@Dougsterbob]

Good morning. It’s 8 am and I haven’t been to sleep yet. Grinding on the website since 3pm yesterday. Let’s gooooo. Love you guys. Making Monday’s special 😌❤️

Way to go!

[@samaviajaffery1965]

I was thinking if you guys saw the new drink snippets google is showing. I don't how long they have been there but every time I search for a drink's recipe, it shows these new boxed snippets, a lot of them at once. It was new for me.

How do you keep people on the site when you give them the smoothie of facts up front? Sounds like you saved them time, they got what they wanted and can then leave early. How do you keep them on for more?

Can you make a video about plagiarism? That’s something I am getting problem with. I don’t copy anything but when I submit an Adsense approval list, it just disapproves my request!! Just because someone has written an article which contains the same thing Doesn’t mean that I have plagiarised something! Please give advice. Thank you!

[@mrblackflash1752]

Try using plagrisim checkers

[@ezra5788]

Always check your post for plagiarism before you publish. There are many free plagiarism checkers you could use. Also, make sure your website design and layout is decent. If your site is not really good you wont get approved

He seems too excited about his grey hair!

[@PDS1107]

I wonder if he'll be just as excited when that thin bit on top turns into a bald patch :)

[@anupambaglari]

What's exciting about grey hair tho, I had one grey hair when I was 15 and now I am 27 and my sides are filled with multiple grey hair. I don't apply chemicals, I get proper sleep and I follow a balanced diet. I wonder if shock can cause grey hair, lets just say that I had some "paranormal" encounter, turns out my friends were just pranking.

[@rebeccagutierrez1960]

He should see how excited I am with all my gray hair.🤣

[@EmmaCruises]

I listen to songs in other languages sometimes, I like the sound but the words can’t get in my head and I can’t type the words because I have no idea what they are... 😂🙌

[@balakakomodo4477]

Funny you mention your lapel mic. The audio on most of your videos lately has been distorted! I'm listening through headphones and as soon as you talk a little louder, there's crunch and crackle in the audio. Please try lowering your input volume a bit to compensate for volume fluctuations.

[@IncomeSchool]

The issue is the sound compression by the editing software. We’re working with our new editor (who is awesome!) to fix it in future videos.

[@africaart]

3:35 I was think how to bring the figures up front but couldn't. You guys probably don't know how good you are at this.

Jim, shut up!😄 I’m just thankful I’m not completely bald right now. The baldness genes runs in my family, and I got my first grey hair in my early 20’s. Lol.

[@candaceslager]

Congrats Mr Clooney! Go make that Nespresso! Loved the lawyer blurb. It was rather apt you summarised the answer as “Well it depends” as this seems to be what a lot of legal advice boils down to😂 Lawyers are definitely great at word count though!!

[@JourneyJames76]

Great stuff, as usual. But threw me off with the 101, 102 and 103 quality levels. When people speak of 101, etc., they are equating the topic to college levels of work. 101, 102 and 103 are all freshman/beginner levels. I think the audience would understand how much more important each new skill is if the levels advance to more expert levels. I would have gone: 101, 201, 301...even to 401, showing an advancement from beginner to expert (freshman to sophomore to junior to senior).

[@lishkoburger12]

Question: Does one ALWAYS have to create a course/ebook/paid service to make money eventually? Just curious if that's a 100% must before signing up for Project 24.

[@mattwithahat3857]

No, you can just go with affiliate products and ads and still make a good amount of money. I make 2k a month with just that.

I found the site mentioned in this video. Like year after :) it's growing but veeeery slow.

[@latestnewsandsportsproudja186]

Jim one quick question. I heard u say in the past that when u operated soundproof expert u started to receive traffic with only 7 articles, but the general belief is that u shud have at least 30. My query is that I currently have a site with about 12 articles...should I expect it rank soon ...its about 5 months old

[@IncomeSchool]

I wouldn’t expect a site with under 30ish posts to do much of anything. Sometimes it happens! But it’s not the norm.

Just realized a good analogy for how to write good articles. Remember the movie Cliffhanger with Sylvester Stallone? Write a blog post as if someone's life depends on it. If the blog post isn't good enough Gabe will lose his grip and drop the reader into the abyss of Google's 2nd page and beyond. Something like that lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnXEnIWajrCGl6M

[@markj6681]

Blogging is painful. My best method is dedicating a week to writing an article. I do research on Sunday and Monday. Write 300-500 words a day until I reach my word goal. I use Saturday as a day to proofread and add images and/or video. Sunday I start over. I crank out 4 to 5 articles a month this way.

[@jdreamhunter]

I guess it means I'm an experienced blogger as I spend way too much time on research!

[@autismsomeassemblyrequired5657]

I love and need the Monday motivation you guys provide. New site is nearly 4 months old with 40 articles and still in the ghost town phase where it's only getting 2-3 visitors per week. Frustrating! But then I watch your new vids on Mondays and am refreshed, invigorated and ready to slay it. Thanks guys!

[@MsBlackcat33]

You guys helped me soooo much! I am joining Project24 September 8th exactly! I am working on my current pet website and I want to be done with it before I start intensely Project24 and working on the new website. I cannot wait!! Btw I checked your Embora Pets Website and on the every single blog article you wrote you rank on page 1 of the Google! That is impressive! My most recent blogs have become much better thanks to your videos! Thank you thank you!

[@girishradhakrishnan2699]

Mr. Jim, can I rewrite (improve) an article that is already ranking say 5th position by updating with lot of information or should I update new info slowly to prevent reindexing?

[@livingbreed]

I work at an SEO company and if you asked us to boost the position of that article, we’d go through it and add em and strong tags around key pieces of info related to the keyword you wanted to rank for or were already ranking for but wanted to rank higher. Em is italics, word or phrase and strong is bold, Text. We’d also likely add more H2s using the keyword. Then we’d look at the article in the first position on google and see what it had that we didn’t. Maybe it’s “pros and cons of...” or before and after pictures, or price of... tables, bullet points etc. we’d add in text to our article based on that analysis. Sometimes we’d look at the top 3 articles. We’d also give it to google in search console to reindex. The company I work for mainly deals in one main niche and has a huge number of sites on P1. Good luck. Income school might suggest sth else 🤷‍♂️.

[@skidrowoffroad]

Jim, one thing that I've noticed that I would have to think has a major impact on your outcomes is simply your enthusiasm. It's obvious that you absolutely LOVE what you're doing and it shows.....AND it's also contagious and gets people to watch and/or read whatever it is you're talking about.
