Day 16 Assignment, Bootcamp #4 - Blogging again! :)

Writing for the web, especially with SEO in mind, is not an easy task. The best way to learn something is by practicing it, right?
And to remember something, we sometimes have to repeat it. Roll Eyes

Also, since you are working as a group now, it's the easiest way for all of you to get backlinks to your product pages by writing a post about each other. So today we are going to do more blogging with the focus on those product links and anchor text.

Here is who you will pair with for this task:

- Delightful Suds & JaJeJems
- Red Rock Designs & Silver Workshop
- Jewelry by Kat & Fairy Cardmaker

Write a post that has exact Key Phrases, as anchor text, as specified below.
Your post doesn't have to be an interview style post. This time try to choose a theme or a topic and incorporate a store and product titles into it. See suggestions below.

You can also mix up products of the person you are talking about with other similar products from iCraft.

Here are your individual tasks.

1. JaJeJems
Make sure you link to Marta's store Delightful Suds using this exact Key Phrase "natural handmade soaps".
Try to incorporate all 3 links to her 3 product pages, using either her primary Keywords or the full product titles.

I am repeating Marta's Key Phrases for you here:

1 - https://icraftgifts.com/handmade/34517/lemongrass-soap-with-french-clay-natural-handmade-soap.php
lemongrass soap 1,900 / french clay 8,100

2 - https://icraftgifts.com/handmade/33473/pink-grapefruit-soap-with-loofah-natural-handmade-soap.php
pink grapefruit 22,200 / grapefruit soap 1,000

3 - https://icraftgifts.com/handmade/34514/tea-tree-soap-and-kelp-purifier-natural-handmade-soap.php
tea tree soap 8,100 / for acne prone skin 49,500
-----------

Here are some good topics related to "handmade soaps" that also have some search volumes associated with them.
how to make soap - 201, 000 search volume (with low competition!)
soap making kits - 22,100
make your own soap - 18,100
organic soap recipes - 1,300

Please work with Marta to get some tips or maybe some recipes that she'd share on how to make basic soaps at home or describe what's involved and how to get started. Since you are not making soaps yourself, you will be able to ask Marta good questions and write a post from an average person's perspective, that have never made soap at home. So that should actually help you with this assignment.

2. Fairy Cardmaker
I am repeating Kat's Primary Key Phrases:

Store: https://icraftgifts.com/jewelry-by-kat
Lisa, since you are linking to Kat's store from external site, this time I'd like you to use her full store URL when you reference her products. However, since her store is optimized for "Beaded charm bracelets" (primary) and beaded cha cha bracelets, beaded earrings & necklaces (secondary), try to incorporate those words around her store URL - to provide context.

Also, see if you can mention all 3 of Kat's products using either full product Titles or her primary Keywords.

1. https://icraftgifts.com/handmade/29657/beaded-charm-bracelet-with-dragonfly-charm.php
primary-beaded charm bracelet - High, 1,600

2. https://icraftgifts.com/handmade/32528/beaded-cross-necklace-in-garnet.php
primary-beaded cross necklace - High, 1000

3. https://icraftgifts.com/handmade/29523/cha-cha-bracelet-with-green-and-aqua-beads.php
primary- cha cha bracelet - Medium 2,900

Feel free to discuss with Kat which topic to choose for this article. Preferably you'd use "Beaded charm bracelets" somewhere in the article or use some of these topics that I found popular on Google.
charms for bracelets - 110,000
charm bracelets for girls - 6,600
charm bracelets for women - 5,400
mens beaded bracelets - 2,900
making charm bracelets - 2,400
making beaded charm bracelets - 46

If you decide to go with "making charm bracelets" theme, maybe you could add some historic references and talk about how charm bracelets evolved over time. Just a suggestion.

3. Delightful Suds
Marta, for JaJeJems, please use "Sea Glass Jewellery" as your anchor text in your post.

I also have a perfect blog title for you "Where to find beach glass?" with 74,000 monthly searches and Low Competition(!) or "How to make sea glass jewelry?". There are 720 monthly searches for this topic with Medium Competition. I am sure Janis will be able to supply you with all the info you need for any of those topics you choose.

Also, try to incorporate all 3 product links into your post using either primary Keywords or full product titles.
