One of the biggest mistakes writers make is writing online content marketing for what they want to write and not what the intended audience wants. If you don’t understand your target audience’s tastes, you won’t make them feel like yours is anything worth reading. If this sounds familiar to you, follow these five simple steps and learn how to market yourself as a writer that understands their readers.

Know the content first.

It’s easy to start executing your content first and then ask yourself what you want to write about it afterward. This approach, however, leads you to follow the same formula over and over. This leads to patterns that can be noticed by your audience members just as easily as they can be noticed by search engines and social media platforms. The best way to avoid this problem is to ask yourself: “What topics does my target audience care about? What do they need help with?” Then, use this target market data you’ve collected to create a spreadsheet of potential topics and put them in order of relevance.

Get inspired.

While a spreadsheet helps you organize the content you’re going to write, taking a step back will help you come up with ideas on how to make this content more interesting. If you’re having trouble coming up with topics on your own, there are plenty of resources online that can help. Try looking through online forums for people asking questions about problems they’ve encountered in your industry. Look for articles that offer advice on how to fix these problems. From there, try converting their advice into something more detailed and concise. Once you have the basics of what your article will be, try brainstorming on how it could be made more interesting or better organized by labeling each topic as either Essential or Extra Detail.

Write the content.

Once you have your ideas organized and your topics filled out, start writing. Make sure you write in a way that shows who your target audience is and what they need from you. This is the place where you can show that you understand them by using words or phrases that they would use in their own language, or by using similar language to how they talk about these topics. But remember: keep the length of your sentences short and use simple words so people can easily follow one topic at a time and not be overwhelmed with information for an extended period of time. Use bullets and lists to break up this information without having to add unnecessary text.

Marketing your content.

After you’ve written your content, it’s time to figure out how people will be able to read it. Use analytics tools that will help you understand which topics are the most popular, which keywords are being used by search engines, and so on. Once you have enough insights about what they want, put these topics in an order that makes sense to them so they can better follow along with your article. Use subheaders if the article has a lot of subtopics or subheadings that help readers move around the article with ease. Remember: customers want to buy something when it’s easy for them to find what they’re looking for and use their time more efficiently.

Above all, remember that if you’re not doing your research and you don’t understand what your target audience is talking about, you will end up frustrated and discouraged. Focus on understanding who is reading your content and how they react to the words they’re seeing on their screens. Start small by writing short blog posts with a few thousand views and work your way up. The more valuable content you produce, the more readers will increase in numbers and the more you will attract attention from search engines and social media platforms.

As a law student, I fall somewhere between a stay at home mom and a working mother. My typical schedule: home, school, home, work at home (I am on two law journals so I have to be able to write a lot at home, including class assignments).
Needless to say I am in DIRE need of a home organizational system. So far I am using Mom’s home management tips – the daily docket and the MITs have really been working well for me. For me, something online simply wouldn’t work. I like to have something in front of me, preferably something that is lovely to look at. I would like a binder with tabs (which is actually what I am putting together now, I use the eco friendly binders from Target that come in all those great prints). In this binder I would like LOTS and LOTS of typed personalized forms that I can fill in as I go. As for menu planning I would actually like to be able to pre-select recipes to rotate since I am not the best cook.
As far as the forms go, I want something that lends itself to general organizing/daily planning, long term planning, and recording ideas as opposed to a micro-managed schedule. Like most parents, I have to keep things somewhat flexible.
And a magic wand included inside, in a little holder usually reserved for a pen, would be awesome.

Oooh, this is so interesting and relevant for me. Like a lot of you, I know I need something, but I’m not quite sure what… (apart from the obvious – housekeeper!) I have tried Getting Things Done and FlyLady, to an extent. What I took from FlyLady was mostly – the importance of having that control journal or some place where you keep it all together. And similarly, the best thing I took from GTD was how crucial it is to NOT attempt to keep reminders in your head. Get EVERYTHING down on paper, or into your computer – just don’t be using up mental and emotional energy trying to remember a zillion things.

I agree with a lot of the above comments about wanting a physical, paper-based, pretty system, not online. Part of me would love to have my own laptop and an iPhone, and be able to ‘run my life’ from those two things… but that’s really not my reality. Also, I still love the feel of paper, and being able to truly cross off a task with a really great pen!

When trying to implement GTD, I put together a small binder (not sure of the exact dimensions, but I think that it holds paper that’s 5.5 x 8.5 in) with a few dividers… I was trying to simplify an essentially business/professional system down to something more appropriate for home-use – so my dividers were just “Phone/Mail/Online” (that was all on one divider), “Errands/Shopping lists,” and “Projects.” So on the pages in the “Phone, etc” section, I divided each page into four quadrants, and called them Notes to Write/Send, Phone Calls to Make, Online Stuff to Do/Research, and E-mails to write. That way, while offline, I could be compiling a list of all the stuff I’d been meaning to read up on while online, etc. Anyway, this system obviously didn’t incorporate a meal planning section, or anything about housekeeping/cleaning. And I’m not successfully using it!

Shopping for fashion jewellery online comes with many benefits; for starters, there’s no need for hunting for jewelry collection at different stores, there’s the ease of choosing from hundreds of jewelry patterns & designs at any time of the day or night, and one can even bag a lot of exclusive online deals, hence making it a popular choice. However, though shopping online has a lot of benefits, the other side of the coin is about hidden disadvantages. To help you not fall into the trap of disadvantages of shopping for jewelry online, here are certain crucial aspects which you need to remember when shopping for your next piece of jewelry online.

Do not base your shopping decision on 20% off.

Online jewelry shopping sites offer deals & discounts quite often. Offers like 20% discount on this pair of earrings, or 40% off on shopping for three jewelry pieces are definitely lucrative, but sometimes these aren’t that rewarding. Online sites sometimes offer discounts on already hiked prices. So before you click on ‘Add to Cart’ check at different websites for the same jewelry piece, get assured and only then make the final call.

Do not Neglect Certifications.

While you are buying a diamond or fashion jewelry online through a great deal, avoid getting swayed away by the immense happiness of grabbing that great deal at the cost of neglecting the certifications. Online jewelry shopping sites also provide certifications for the hallmarked jewelry, and you must ensure that you get it.

Return Policy matters

Whether you are shopping online for fashion jewelry or precious jewelry, knowing about the return policy of the website you are purchasing from can help you in case you are dissatisfied with the ordered piece of jewelry. If you are OK with a refund as well as return policy of the company, only then should you proceed with purchasing jewelry from their site.

Take advantage of Customer Feedback:

One of the positive aspects of online jewelry shopping is that you can get to know what other shoppers feel about the site as well as the products they sell. Read feedback written by other customers on the website or internet, and make the decision of buying jewelry from a particular online store accordingly.

Check out the specifications and fit.

Online jewelry stores might sometimes not offer a refund for jewelry for reasons like that jewelry being ill-fitting, color expectations, or even size of the jewelry piece. So, clarify this point by either looking at the specifications of the product or calling the customer care to know and understand the exact details of a particular jewelry piece.

Last but not the least, Security

No customer entertains breach in his privacy. You would not feel comfortable sharing your personal details, or credit/debit card details with a third party entity online. So if it is your first experience with a particular online jewelry shopping site, ensure that it provides safe online transactions through secure payment gateways and SSL encryption.

Lastly, even after you get your precious jewelry delivered to you and are satisfied with it, do not hesitate taking it to your local jeweler to check the purity and authenticity. If it passes the litmus test on these two fronts, then you can be certain that you have had a really good experience of shopping jewelry online.

Great points and I can hear the enthusiasm in your words. Here’s the catch…unless you develop a routine or any other sustainable approach that works for your own personality, it’s like to be like a fad-diet that leads to a crash & burn of sorts and you are left becoming more lax on things again, but with an additional heaping of guilt on yourself. What has worked for many people I know is to develop a routine and an auto-pilot approach. As you mentioned, cleaning as you go is a really great way to shorten the time a task takes AND the mental exertion put into its completion (seeing undone things are very demotivating). When we notice what tasks can be integrated into our life as a routine (like loading dishwasher after dinner, empty dishwasher in the morning when making coffee/tea, etc.), we are able to think through what can happen & when, rather than trying to remember what needs to be done while “in the moment” AND doing half a dozen other things. As for undone tasks, like getting side-tracked and missing the opportunity to do the laundry as soon as its dried, that’s where the auto-pilot approach comes in. When we do something at the same time each day, or right after/before something else, etc. we are creating internal reminders for ourselves that aren’t as easily forgotten as thinking we can just remember to do it.

What a great post today! I love your idea of picking up as you go. This will force me to have better time management as I usually get in a hurry and leave a mess for later. I already implement the 10 minute rule ~ get as much done as you can in 10 minutes. When I don’t feel like doing chores I break it down in 10 minute increments throughout the day. The ten minute rule also works well for children!

Of course I know you’re absolutely right. My problem is that I’ll talk myself out of doing these things right away because I’m in a hurry or eager to move on to the things I actually WANT to do. I never thought about how much time it is costing me in the long run. You have a knack for pointing out things that should be so obvious, but somehow aren’t without a little guidance

You are so right about this! If I could just stay on top of dishes instead of letting them pile up… what a time saver that would be!

I do pick up our living room every night. Nothing is worse than waking up to clutter everywhere. (Why can’t I apply this to my kitchen?!) I also make the beds every morning… it feels better to crawl into a made bed every night plus it save a little bit of my sanity by creating the facade that my bedroom is clean.

I know it’s easier to clean it up now, but I constantly procrastinate. Why do I do that?!? You’re right, not only does it take much more time later, but it drives me crazy to look at the mess. I’m off to declutter right now…

This music application is just 3 years old but has already defeated 2 very popular social media applications, Facebook and Messenger. According to the Store Intelligence Data Digest report made by Sensor Tower, TikTok was downloaded more than 700 million times during 2019, which makes them the second most downloaded application and only lost to WhatsApp.

History

Courtesy: Bangkok, Thailand – August 22, 2019 : iPhone 7 showing its screen with TikTok and other social media application icons.

TikTok is a video-sharing social networking service owned by ByteDance, a Beijing-based company founded in 2012 by Zhang Yiming. It is used to create short lip-sync, comedy, and talent videos. The app was launched in 2017 for iOS and Android for markets outside of China. ByteDance had previously launched Douyin (Chinese: 抖 音) for the Chinese market in September 2016. TikTok and Douyin are similar to each other but run on separate servers to comply with Chinese censorship restrictions. The application allows users to create short music and lip-sync videos of 3 to 15 seconds and short looping videos of 3 to 60 seconds. It is popular in Asia, the United States, and other parts of the world. TikTok is not available in China, and its servers are based in countries where the app is available.

Users

In the US, 52% of TikTok users are iPhone users. While TikTok has a neutral gender-bias format, 44% of TikTok users are female while 56% are male.TikTok’s geographical use has shown that 43% of new users are from India. TikTok has proven to attract the younger generation, as 41% of its users are between the ages of 16 and 24. Among these TikTok users, 90% say they use the app on a daily basis. In the three years after it launched in September 2016, TikTok had 500 million active users.

What is interesting about this application?

Music

Music has a very important role in making videos. In Tik Tok, music features are divided into several categories such as Valentine, K-Pop, Party, Indonesia and so on. In addition, the available music can also be adjusted to the type of video, for example if the promotion uses comedy content, then the theme music can be chosen comedy.

Stickers and Effects

If the business has confirmed the concept to be made, the next thing to do is to determine the stickers and effects as a complement in the promotional video.

Voice Changer Function

Tik Tok has a very unique sound effect. There are eight sound effects that can be tried ranging from sounds like tupaim male voice, vibra, electronic, echo, mic, elf and giant.

When I first saw the offer to download the Youtube Music application in seconds I immediately did it. It’s just that at the beginning I was a little confused by the new look, the article is not all the songs that I want I can listen to, it turns out I was in a free package!

So, if I want to enjoy an unlimited variety of songs I have to pay to get a premium package. A little disappointed, but it’s only natural because this premium service provides the appearance of songs and videos that are ad-free. This means that we are not bothered by advertisements when we are listening to songs. Make sense.

According to Wikipedia, YouTube Music is a music streaming service and mobile application developed by YouTube; it provides a customized interface for services that are oriented towards music streaming, allowing users to browse music songs and videos on YouTube based on genre, playlist, and recommendations. This service also offers a premium rate, which allows ad-free playback, audio-only background playback, and downloading songs for offline playback. The benefits of this subscription are also offered to Google Play Music and YouTube Premium customers.

Rich music, varied songs

In announcing the launch of Youtube Music in Indonesia, the company ensured that all content on Youtube was available on Youtube Music. “All playlists will be available on YouTube and YouTube Music. And the good thing is, you can find video playlists on YouTube then you can bring them to your YouTube Music app and listen to them in audio mode … There are millions of good playlists created on YouTube and we make sure we share it (on Youtube Music), “said Brandon Bilinski, Product Manager for YouTube Music.

The display looks like Spotify

Regarding how it looks, I think the look of Youtube Music is like Spotify. The background is dominated by black so the content looks more dominant. Like Spotify and Joox, Youtube Music also provides music recommendations that are tailored to the user’s interests.

The reviewer of Tek.id said that the adjustment itself is set based on the type of music that was played on the main Youtube application. This helps make it easier for companies to provide better personalization for users. In addition to recommendation songs, Youtube Music provides company-curated playlists.

On the main display, you can see a number of playlists, including Instant Energy, which contains playlists of pop genre songs to EDM. There are also playlists that are customized for users who are exercising. As is known, people like to exercise while listening to music. It’s only natural that Youtube Music offers this playlist.

Maybe you are already familiar with the names of the judges in this talent search event. Yes, as the name implies, The Voice, this is one of the talent search shows that aired on one television station. Even I usually watch it on Youtube because I don’t like the ‘interruption’ of advertisements.

The Voice is a singing talent contest on US television that originally came from The Voice of Holland from the Netherlands. This competition is quite successful and mushrooming, not only in America but also in various parts of the world. The participants were audited publicly with a minimum age of 13 years.

The winner is determined by the audience by voting via telephone, internet, SMS messages, and the total number of purchases on the iTunes Store. The champion is then entitled to receive a US $ 100,000 recording contract with Universal Music Group.

The Beginning

The Voice USA began airing on April 26, 2011, as a TV program in the spring. This event proved to be a hit for NBC and was later expanded into the autumn cycle when the third season aired on September 10, 2012.

This series uses a panel of four judges who are tasked with evaluating the appearance of the contestants. Each judge also functions as a trainer, guiding the selected contestants. The original panel of judges consisted of Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine, and Blake Shelton. Whereas in the fourth season, the panel of judges consisted of Levine, Shelton, Shakira, and Usher. In season 7 Cee Lo Green resigned from the voice and Christina Aguilera could not be a judge in season 7 because she was focused on pregnancy from her second marriage. Eventually, they were replaced by Pharrell Williams and Gwen Stefani but Christina returned in season 8.

Coaches

CeeLo Green and Adam Levine became the first confirmed coaches in February 2011 followed by Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton in March. Aguilera and Green did not return for season four and were replaced by Shakira and Usher. Aguilera and Green then returned for season five, while Shakira and Usher returned for season six. There were a change and change of coaches until 2019.

I first listened to this song after one of Indonesia’s Idol Junior winners, Anneth, sang this song. Shortly after, I saw Tones and I appear on one of the popular TV shows in the US, on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. I also searched for this song on Youtube and it turns out this song has been watched more than 500 million times since it was released June 25, 2019, then.

The Achievement

“Dance Monkey”, the title of the song has occupied the number 1 position on the charts in more than 30 countries including Australia, Austria, Belgium, China, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, and peaked within the top ten in many other countries, including the United States, at number seven. This is the second single released by Australian singer, Tones and I. Previously, he had released the song “Johnny Run Away” in February 2019.

According to Wikipedia, Upon reaching its tenth week at the top of the Australian Singles Chart, “Dance Monkey” broke the record for the most weeks at number one on the chart by an Australian act, previously held by Justice Crew’s 2014 song “Que Sera”. With its sixteenth week at number one, in November, it broke the record for the most weeks at number one in Australia’s ARIA chart history (1983–present), previously held by Ed Sheeran’s “Shape Of You” (2017). “Dance Monkey” also holds the record for the longest time at number one in the modern rock era in Australia (1955–present), with 24 weeks.

The Awards

At The Aria Music Award Of 2019, Tones and I was nominated for eight awards, winning four. Tones won Aria Award for Best Female Artist and Breakthrough Artist, while “Dance Monkey” won Best Pop Release and The Kids Are Coming EP won Best Independent Release.

Lyrics

When interviewed by DJ Smallzy in July 2019 on Australian radio station Nova FM, Tones explained that the song is about the relationship she had with her audience when she was busking on the streets of Australia:

“I wrote this song when I was busking, and the pressure that I felt to always be entertaining people on the street. And if they didn’t like it, when they looked at their phones they could just click something else; … we are all so used to being entertained at the click of a button.”

“So when you’re [busking] on the street, .. to command [your] attention, people would be like: ‘again! again!’ .. ‘more! more!’ .. or they would just leave. So if you replace [the lyric]: ‘dance for me, dance for me’ with ‘sing for me, sing for me,’ it’s pretty literal,” she said

The name Billie Eilish has become increasingly popular in the US and international music scene since releasing her debut single, “Ocean Eyes”. No doubt, the singer who was born December 18, 2001, is the second nominee after Lizzo who was nominated at the 62nd Grammy Award this year. Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell is the full name given by Ellish’s parents who are actors and musicians. so, do not be surprised if the singer who was only 18 years old showed a decreased talent from both parents.

Ellish’s parents, Maggie Baird and Patrick O’Connell live and raise Ellish in Highland Park, Los Angeles and have Irish and Scottish ancestry. At the age of 11, Eilish began writing and singing his own songs.

After the successful remix of “Ocean Eyes”, Eilish released the single “Bellyache” on February 24, 2017. In February 2018, Eilish embarked on the Where’s My Mind Tour which ended in April 2018.

The album reached number 1 on the Billboard 200 and made Eilish the first artist born in the 2000s to have the number one album in the United States.

Regarding herself, Eilish said: I am truly different from many people, and I try to be like that. I don’t like to follow the rules at all. If someone starts wearing something in a certain way, I will wear the opposite. I always wear what I want and always say what I want to say. I’m super, super out there. I like to be remembered, so I like to look memorable. I think I have proven to people that I am more important than they think. I am somewhat intimidating, so people will listen. I’m kind of scary. Many people are just afraid of me. I have a bitch’s face.
