The One Hour Content Plan: The Solopreneur's Guide to a Year's Worth of Blog Post Ideas in 60 Minutes and Creating Content That Hooks and Sells

The author does not say anything revolutionary. All branding experts say the same thing. Nevertheless, the book helped me to transform my blog posts. I studied graphic design at The University of Arts, London College of Communications, but I completely forgot 101 of design when it came to writing my posts. I never thought about turning my posts personality to match my brands message. I only focused on the identity of my logo, and website. And didn't think about a cohesive brand identity. Anyway, adding personality to my post is a game changer. The funny thing is before reading this book I didn't think I needed to change anything, bar the editing, but boy was I wrong!

Some good ideas here for generating and creating blog content and I'll be putting them into action. I'll need to tweak a little as my blog is more personal and less business than perhaps Kothand's target audience but I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to working through the bonus downloads too!

This is a short book but packed with ideas for the small business and how to get noticed. I loved the way that not only where there tips for how to achieve getting your message out there but this was made easier by Meera providing some ‘worked examples’, which really helped. There was a wealth of tips and links to apps, websites, etc., to make the whole process easier. Having read the book through once, I will now be going back through again to put the suggestions into practise.

Meera's book if full of very clear, concise and actionable advice. I have been reading about blogging for months (years even) and this is the first resource I found that lays out content strategy methods and techniques in very simple and practical way. Each chapter gives you ideas to implement on your blog/website. There are plenty of insightful questions asked that really get you thinking about your strategy and long-term outlook for your website. The book comes with additional templates which you can download and fill in. Brilliant and a must read for anyone who is seriously thinking about producing great content.

If you are serious about your blog this book is well worth a read. It's a bit wordy in places but its worth it for the resources and ideas that the author has put together. Starting a blog without a plan is not a great idea. This book is a serious bloggers plan. There is a lot more to writing than just putting words on a page and this author has proven the concept with her own blog, best to take advise from people who have actually done it in the real world...

I decided on this book because of the reviews.Surprised how good this is to structure my thoughts around blog posts. Would recommend

Not only lots of content ideas but tools and methods for actually doing it too! Even as an experienced marketing manager there were reminders and ideas for me to explore.

I was hoping for a little more value from this book. It covers the basics of blogging, but didn't teach me anything new. I will, however, take the time to go through the bonus resources in detail and create my content plan. I would have liked to have seen more content examples, templates etc. to demonstrate article formats that work well. I think my takeaway from this book is: I need to take the time to plan my posts better and track their progress via analytics.

O livro conta com estratégias e reflexões que facilitam a criação de conteúdo, ideal para quem está começando a produzir na internet e fica em dúvida sobre como e o que fazer.

Un libro utilissimo per blogger, vlogger o per chi vuole costruirsi una presenza online. Si legge velocemente, i concetti sono spiegati in modo semplice e chiaro, ovviamente se sapete l'inglese. Un libro che rivoluzionerà in meglio la mia presenza online. Consigliatissimo

First of all, just to be 100% clear (for the doubtful 1-star reviewer below), I was not paid to write this review. I did not get a free review copy. I had, in fact, never heard of Meera Kothand before (sorry, Meera) but my Kindle device recommended this book to me based on the types of books I'd read in the past, and I'm glad it did. This offers an excellent return on investment -- if you USE it. (Isn't that true of anything. It's no good if you just read it and ignore it.) Most people will pay more than the cost of the Kindle edition for a single coffee; if you can't bear to invest that much in your business, it might be wise to reconsider having one. And there is so much in this book. The one thing I wish had been a little clearer earlier on is that there are actually three DIFFERENT methods presented for planning content. I thought I was going to be looking at three different parts of the same method, so I was a little confused when I got to the second until I sorted that out. Other than that, I have no complaints. This is not going to GIVE you your topics. (It would be impossible to do that well, without even knowing what you blog about.) It will, however, provide a clear plan for arriving at those topics. It brings together a lot of really good online marketing information I've learned from a variety of sources, in a very clear, simple, easy-to-follow and -implement way. As in, you can just follow the methods Meera provides, step-by-step and you'll have the finished product you need. Enough detail is included that you don't have to wonder what she's talking about, either. For example, she tells you exactly which elements should be in a blog post and what to look for to ensure that each piece does its job of leading the reader into the next, etc. And where she suggests using "trigger words" (not like "make you upset" trigger words, but "get your attention" words) to keep the reader's attention, she actually provides a list of some trigger words. If you do the work, the book will walk you through clearly defining your blog's purpose and then planning content that makes sense within that bigger picture. (I've been blogging for over 10 years, mostly spinning my wheels. I can promise you that making sure your content is not just good, but also serves a function within your overarching plan is a big deal -- and not easy to do without some sort of structure like this.) There are three different methods for choosing blog topics, each of which is a better fit for certain circumstances/needs, so choose whichever one makes sense for you. And then there's even detailed information about how to optimize a blog post for grabbing attention, keeping attention, working well with search engines, and helping to further your particular goals for your blog. It isn't really about email, although that's what much of Meera's website focuses on. It does, however, talk a little about integrating an email list-building plan with your blog (which is something virtually everyone who's building a blog for business purposes will want to do, at least at some point) and some overlap in discussions of content. (A blog post is, in many ways, much like an email.)

I've learned more from this book in 2 hours about social media, blogging, the importance of having a content plan and strategy than I have from hundreds of dollars I've spend on online marketing courses this past year! Meera breaks down everything you need to know and understand so clearly and easily, and the amount of resources she provides through downloadables, resource links as well as software and app recommendations is amazing. She gives tonnes of relatable examples throughout this book which really helped stimulate ideas that I can apply in my own business for blogs and posts. Social media and online marketing are not my areas of strength and something I have really struggled with as a Solopreneur. Through everything she explains in this book, Meera has finally lifted this fog of confusion for me. I would highly recommend this book to all small business owners, VA's and anyone wanting to improve their knowledge on blogging and social media marketing - it is an absolute must read!
