What should I write about?
In today’s How To Blog Video Series, I share my thoughts on how to come up with content. The good news is… content is everywhere!
What I wish I would have said in this video: Expect the unexpected. In life, in love and in blogs! Stuff happens all around us everyday and you can turn this into CONTENT!
Whenever something goes wrong or unexpected in my life I now just shrug my shoulders and say, “That will make a great blog post!” It’s a good way to get over a bad day, it’s also a great view on the world.
A final word: If you are looking for it, you will find it. Great content is all around you.
See if you can spot: The rocky pier in Menemsha.
And, here is today’s video:

Why Am I Doing This?
I am somewhere in the Grand Canyon, rafting the Colorado River right now… which means I have no access to computers or an internet connection. So, while I am taking a trip down the river, I want to take you on a trip around Martha’s Vineyard, sharing both the sights I love on this little island and my favorite blogging tips.
It’s all in an effort to keep my promise to blog everyday this year and learn to lovemore and fearless. Did I mention I am afraid of the water? And, I am in a raft right now in the Grand Canyon?
I am keeping a diary while riding the waves and will report back as soon as we hike out of the canyon.
Until then, I attempt to answer the questions people ask me about how to blog in this video series. It’s not perfect…but it is published! And, that’s the point.
Enjoy!

Jaimie — great, again! I love your video blogs. Wondering if you have an ideas about content for twitter… xo
Hi Jenn! I am back and catching up on real life
So happy you watched the blog videos while I was away (they were super fun to make!). As far as Twitter goes, I think it’s about connecting with your people and social network, and SHARING other great content too. Links out to great stuff that you love and follow that others will want to follow is always good. I personally share all of my blog posts on Twitter, just to keep the flow going. Twitter has great ways to share photos now too, which I like way more than just the old school text. Does that help? Email me if you want to go more in depth. xo~Jamie
