How To Write a Blog Post

So, I got very ambitious and decided I wanted to start writing a blog post. Research online shows they are a good way to get algorithm for a google search. l would like clients to be able to find me first in google… I mean who doesn’t.  Wait a minute, the article I was reading was on google. So anyways here I am not knowing anything about blogs writing a blog. I know I’m going to have to be captivating and witty.  Who determines what is witty, I think I’m funny but now I sitting here thinking about it, I am usually the only one laughing at my jokes aside from my daughter, but does that really count?  She obviously takes after me with her dark twisty humour. So, scratch witty, perhaps I should attempt captivating.  Define your audience. how does one define their audience? Am I defining who I want to be my audience? Obviously, that’s anyone looking for a pure clean facial line, willing to try a new one and supporting small business. Realistically, who is my audience? Tanner and likely the handful of people I text the link to in hopes they will read it, all the while dreaming big dreams of success.  Next is an organized outline. Clear and organized? Clearly the person writing this has not seen my anything but organized life, it’s chaos on it best. Well-meaning intentions will all the gadgets to make it a success but somewhere along the way I stand tossing the receipts on top of the organizer and not Inside. That’s probably the most accurate in-site to the inside of my brain.  Organization of thoughts is paragraphs in five different notebooks. sticky note on my glass case, in my wallet, sometimes on the notebook itself. Tanner always tells me to use the electronics, my writing, my process is inefficient at best. But sitting there talking to a computer seems a bit strange to me.  Maybe one day I’ll learn to listen, until that day it’s a good old pen and paper for me, Paige will proofread it as she types it up. Pretty much our relationship summed up, we do almost everything together. Back to organization, I suppose we scratch that that from the list and pretend we didn’t read that.  Irresistible headline, well okay I must agree this is important I’ve read some turd articles after being drawn in by their headline by the time I’ve realized it’s a turd I’m committed.  I wonder how many of you are thinking that same thing about my blog. So much of this is subjective not only to the person but down to their moods. Also, who would have known back in school when we were learning essay writing skills that I should have paid just a wee bit more attention. To be truthful, young me didn’t see value in its current me is cursing younger me. Headlines are usually slapped together in a rush to complete, after sitting here contemplating this this suggestion do, I finally realize how important this step is, even our YouTube videos, though tittles are… oh I don’t know, then something basic and generic gets tossed up.  But I will do better. Hey, maybe these google suggestions are working, it’s thought provoking to say the least.  Choosing a blog template.  Yikes, I don’t just type it like a word document?  Oh, it’s about now I’m wondering if I’ve bitten off more than I can chew but I’m nothing if not a stubborn human. So, I’m going to stick the course out like many small business owners that can’t afford to source the things out, in my case to someone smarter than myself. It’s up us to do it all so we dabble in all aspects trying to find success for ourselves. That’s where this blog making adventure started. Researching how to get noticed and different avenues for getting the information across as social media no longer seems to be doing the trick for getting clients in the doors or our products in the hands. I’m really hoping there is blog templates available online for free. Having to pay to test the waters is vary ideal. Who knows I might fall flat on my face? There might be emails begging me to stop rambling. But it might be a success. Like I tell my children the answer is always going to be no if you don’t try, it might surprise you. I’m currently writing this with no cell reception, so I suppose this step I’m going to have to revisit.  Picking a blog domain name. This is the easiest step yet. We are fortunate enough to have a blog plug in to our website. I am all for utilizing everything available to you, in other words I’m cheap so if it’s already being paid for why the heck haven’t, I been use if it all along. Our domain name is Pampered Aesthetics. Keep it stupid simple, I am all about hand fluency.  Pick relevant images (I’m not so sure they’re a photo of me searching my head in confusion). But there are a few of Paige helping as inevitably that’s where most of it ends up. She fancies herself quality control for the business and home. These skills will one day hopefully make her adult life easier having learned so much about business at a young.  Oh boy implementing the call to actions this is being accountable for the writing. The key words and/or phrases should optimize the search engine (google) again according to my google search but truthfully, what do we have to lose other than time. Writing is supposed to be good for you therapeutic if you will.  After the year we’ve had, it wouldn’t hurt to have some word therapy, even to share some of the experiences to help someone in the future, who knows.  With this blog I don’t want to be overly ambitious and promise once a week. That might not be realistic with trying to rebuild the house, our life, and the business. While raising two goblins, an elderly bulldog, a puppy and a psychotic rescue dog. I suppose eventually you will learn our family slogan "welcome to the shit show". It’s pretty darn accurate too. As far as the call to action, who knows? Let’s aim for once a month and call anything else a bonus win. One thing you will learn about me is I hate Broken promises or unkept words, so I won’t do that to you. Do onto others without all the other hocus pocus.  I’m going to be honest, I have literally no idea what an SEO is. Google tells me to optimize for it. Boy I can’t wait until rural areas have 5G so I can google things out here. Or star link comes our area, I can’t wait to get off the wait list and join the 21st century. Well, that’s embarrassing. Search engine optimization. Honestly that’s one of the driving forces behind any small business in their advertising, trying to be one of the first businesses to pop up in hope that the potential client will give you a chance. They say (I forgot where I read this fact, one of my business courses) it takes seeing your name ten times before they trust you enough to do business with you. This is a struggle after winning a very successful business for many years in Cobourg the transition wasn’t as seamless as we had hoped, currently having lost a year due to the fire taking everything. Having to start all over again is professionally the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. Establishing credibility in a new town after ten years of establishing clientele. My god, there’s so many sits and apps now to be on. Never mind. What the heck are reels and how the heck do you make them? SOS,someone help me please. Google says this is the way to stay relevant on Instagram and how do people do these while managing to look cute, hello my double chin likes to be the star on the show.  Woot. There almost an end.  Now google suggests hand this over to someone to proofread. I must admit I’m not so certain of my ability to write a blog. I suppose we will soon find out based on the performance of this blog.  Is this a bad time to suggest you subscribe to us on YouTube?   There is also a subscribe link right here on PamperedAesthetics.ca. I promise we won’t email you our new blogs, but we will alert you of sales, promotions, special events but most importantly when we are able to reopen for services. We are so excited for that day.  Goodnight   Lovelies, Jess XOXO-
