Ultimate List of Hidden Gem Bucket List Ideas for Couples

Ultimate List of Hidden Gem Bucket List Ideas for Couples

Looking for good travel bucket list ideas for couples?

I’ve created a list of 100 places and types of vacation activities for couples of many different interests, ages, and even physical capabilities.

Some of you may prefer physically active things to do on vacation, others of you prefer relaxing activities.

In my opinion, many other bucket list blog posts include travel ideas that do not actually qualify as bucket list ideas.

I’ve done my best to build a list of full-length vacation and quick getaway ideas that you do not get to do often.

And that in many cases might just be the one and only time you get to do them- which is what a bucket list is supposed to be.

1. Castles in the US

Did you know there are castles in the United States? (In some cases follies- mansions that look like castles).

Find out what US castles are close to you or close to your next couples getaway.

You can even rent some out for your wedding, while others serve as hotels or museums.

But most you can tour.

Headed to NYC soon? [Click Here for Info/Deals] on Belvedere Castle and Central Park Tours

Check out my post on US Castles for Couples to Visit.

2. Helicopter Rides

Some of the best travel bucket list ideas include getting a bird’s eye view. Rising high above a popular city or taking in a scenic mountain or coastal view can be a once-in-lifetime experience.

Most cities offer helicopter rides, even here in Orlando, there a quite a few to choose from.

Headed to Niagara Falls soon?

==>[Click Here for Deals/Info] on Helicopter Rides of Niagara Falls (the famous Horseshoe Falls side)

Headed to NYC soon?

==>[Click Here for Deals/Info] on NYC Helicopter Rides

Check out my blog post on some of the Best Places for US Helicopter Rides for Couples.

3. Hot Air Balloon Rides

Sticking with the “bird’s-eye-view” theme, hot air balloon rides for couples make for some of the most romantic travel bucket list ideas.

You can even experience first-hand some of the best US cities for hot air balloon festivals while checking out the surrounding attractions.

Check out my blog post for Hot Air Balloon Rides and Festivals for Couples to Visit

4. Whale Watching Cruises

Can you imagine seeing a whale in the wild?! There are many places here in the US and throughout the world where you can take guided whale-watching tours.

This is personally one of my top travel bucket list ideas and I almost got to check it off when I went to Seattle last year.

Both the East and West Coast, plus Alaska offer many places to view these mammoth beasts in their natural settings.

Headed to Hawaii soon?

[Click Here for the Best Deals] on Whale Watching Tours in Hawaii

Check out my blog post on Best Whale Watching Cruises for Couples.

5. Florida Dolphin Cruises

Living in Florida makes it easier to see dolphins in the wild.

I’ve lucked out a few times to see them by being at the right place at the right time.

But I’ve also taken a few guided dolphin boat rides.

One of my favorite things to do is a sunset cruise where you sip a cocktail or glass of wine at the end of the ride after viewing dolphins chasing your boat.

If you’re interested in a romantic couples getaway to Florida then check out my blog post 5 Weekend Paradises in Florida for Couples.

6. Florida Everglades Airboat Rides

Here’s another one of the travel bucket list ideas that makes it easier for me since I live in Florida.

While I’ve seen hundreds of American Alligators in the wild, there is a certain sense of mystique that comes with taking a trip down to the Florida Everglades.

You can take airboat rides here in Orlando too, but if you want to see some of the biggest gators I’ve ever seen then travel to the Everglades.

7. US Riverboat Cruises

Cruising up the Ohio or Mississippi river, feeling like Mark Twain back in the 1800s is quite the nostalgic idea for a romantic getaway.

We met a couple at a rooftop bar in St. Louis who were to embark on one.

That’s where the idea of a US riverboat cruise sparked in my head.

Many make several stops at river port cities along the way. All serve meals and provide entertainment.

Think of it like the cruises we all know about at sea but on a river instead.

8. Scenic US Train Rides

My mother used to tell me how she’d travel across the country from Ohio to California on full-service train rides.

If you’re looking for unique travel bucket list ideas for couples then here is a hidden gem that’s worth looking into.

Imagine all the natural beauty you’d encounter along the way from mountains, plains and big cities.

It’d be like taking several trips in one.

9. Underground City Tours in the US

When I went to Seattle the tour wasn’t taking place due to Covid, but parts of the city (Pioneer Square) had burnt to the ground in the 1800s.

And instead of knocking everything down the city decided to build on top of the ruins.

You can tour this underground city frozen in time.

As well as other interesting underground tours throughout the US and World.

Here’s a list of some behind-the-scenes tours of famous US landmarks.

10. European Castles

As cool as it is to visit castles and mansions here in the US imagine how mind-blowing it would be to visit a real-life fairytale-like castle in France or Germany.

Tell me that’s not one of the most awesome hidden gem travel bucket list ideas.

Many you can tour and even some stand erect in the middle of a fully functioning town.

Learn about the history and picture what life was like over a thousand years ago.

11. Top World Wineries and Vineyards

ultimate bucket list ideas for couples

New or Old World, or both, if you want to experience a time-stands-still moment, then relax or plan an entire trip or getaway for this idea.

Luckily for me, I’ve checked this off my bucket list, but I love going so much that I plan to return to Sonoma or Napa this year with my girlfriend.

Of course, this only makes sense if you like wine, but you don’t need to be a connoisseur.

Many are usually clustered together in each wine region.

But I’d recommend plotting out a few to check out before you travel or you could lose a lot of time.

12. Royal Palace Tours

Yes, this is similar to the castle idea, but many palaces are (or were) fully-functioning residents for royalty or important high-up dignitaries.

Imagine touring the White House, Buckingham Palace, Belvedere in Vienna, or the Berlin Palace.

13. All-inclusive Dude Ranches

Do you want travel bucket list ideas for couples to truly escape and leave work and other daily life behind?

Book a trip to a dude ranch where you can participate in activities such as Horseback riding, biking, fly fishing, go whitewater rafting, take guided hikes through the mountains or canyons, do a cowboy bbq, make cowboy campfires, power tubing, or stargaze.

14. Private Charter Boat Rides to Secluded Caribbean Islands

Boating to secluded islands lined with blue water and chock full of tropical fish of all different colors will certainly make time stand still.

I’ve had the opportunity of experiencing just that when I lived in Venezuela.

You can find affordable private charter boat rides throughout the Caribbean.

This makes for one of the most memorable hidden gem travel bucket list ideas you might want to explore.

15. Treehouse Rentals

Sounds like something right out of a movie, doesn’t it?

But you can rent treehouses in many different spots including here in Walt Disney World.

However, I’m sure you can find other more affordable treehouse rentals elsewhere.

Some are located in resorts with many activities to have fun with.

This can be a short romantic couples getaway too.

16. Luxury European Train Rides

See multiple European countries while traveling in style.

Well-appointed cabins, gourmet meals, and opulent lounge cars highlight this unforgettable experience.

Take in some of the most scenic views nature has to offer.

In this case, the journey is the highlight of the trip and not the final destination.

17. Candy Factory Tours

This is just a child’s dream come true, it’s an adult’s too.

Watch in amazement as you see millions of pieces of candy get created right before your eyes.

Learn about the history and production of some of the world’s most beloved candy.

Most candy factory tours include free samples too.

It just keeps getting better.

Here’s a list of some behind-the-scenes tours of famous US landmarks.

18. Luxury Spa Resort Getaway

The ultimate escape-from-reality trip and one of the travel bucket list ideas you should do more than once.

Enjoy getting pampered together and leave all your worries behind.

Take a dip in the jacuzzi, get a couples massage, smooth out those tense muscles around your eyes and forehead with a facial.

Or even turn those calves and feet into putty with a pedicure.

Enjoy upscale dinners and cocktails.

Nothing but relaxation for the entire getaway.

Check out some of the best romantic spa resorts in the US.

19. Autumn Road Trip to View

Here in Florida, we don’t get the four seasons, but I remember what Fall was like while growing up in Ohio.

I try to get back up there in October whenever I can.

A long drive by itself makes this one of the most scenic travel bucket list ideas on the list.

In the northeastern states, you could choose two destinations separated by several hours to turn these couples’ travel ideas into two highlights: the drive and the final destination.

20. Birdwatching

Some of nature’s most beautiful creatures are birds.

Whether witnessing a giant bald eagle rest in its nest, hummingbirds floating a short distance away or witnessing a toucan in the wild.

Birdwatching is one of those hidden gem bucket list ideas that could take you anywhere around the globe.

And it’d be just as magical no matter where you ended up.

21. Underground Caves Exploration

Drop down to a whole new world far beneath the earth’s surface.

No matter where you live you are not that far away from one of these nature’s wonders.

Or perhaps you’d like to make a list of them to visit and check off the ones that interest you the most.

Here are some of the most famous underground cave destinations for adventurous couples.

22. Epic Cocktail Bar Crawl

Before I discovered my passion for craft cocktails, I never had any interest to visit New Orleans.

Now I want to go every year.

Each cocktail bar and lounge presents its own character and some of the most world-renown drinks came from one of their menus.

Take a guided tour of some of the most famous cities around the world known for their cocktail bars.

If you visit New Orleans I highly recommend taking a cocktail crafting class so you can learn to make several of their classic drinks known around the world.

23. Foodie Tour

And after your down with the cocktail crawl participate in a guided foodie tour to learn the history of a local city’s cuisine and famous dining establishments.

You’ve watched tours like these on the Food Network a dozen times.

Now it’s time to do it for real.

Here’s a list of some behind-the-scenes tours of famous US landmarks.

24. Holiday Decoration Getaway

You haven’t quite experienced the holidays until seeing the giant Christmas tree in the Rockefeller Center in NYC.

In addition to NYC, there are dozens of small towns across the US and world that would leave you breathless from the decorations and charm.

Who says the holidays have to always be about gift-giving.

Give each other the gift of travel for the next holiday season.

Plan in advance because many others have the same idea. Prices for lodging skyrocket this time of year.

And the closer you get the less availability you’ll find.

Disney World for the Holidays

Worth noting is that our Disney parks here in Orlando are stunning during the holiday season.

Just do NOT go after the 19th because it gets beyond packed.

As a long-time Cast Member at Disney World, I can tell you that the first two weeks of December are typically the best time the entire year to visit.

There are fewer crowds, the prices for lodging are lower, and the decorations and fireworks are the best for the entire year.

Of course, keep in mind that this is Disney World we’re talking about. It’s still busy and expensive compared to other theme parks around the world.

So, if you’ve never come to Disney World then you could check off two travel bucket list ideas on one trip.

25. Rocket Launch

If you’re not from Florida then you might find it hard to believe that you can see rocket launches from hours away from Cape Canaveral, including right from Disney property.

But nothing beats seeing a rocket launch than up close.

The ground rumbles and the fire and flames burst out of the boosters.

And there’s something surreal about seeing an object leave the planet right before your eyes.

While you’re in the neighborhood stop by the Kennedy Space Center to see some of the old rockets and learn about the history of space travel.

26. Major Sports Event

I’ve gotten lucky here and have checked off one of my top bucket list items- I went to Game 7 of the World Series in 2016 with my team playing in it.

No matter what sport you like most, attending a major sports event such as World Cup or European Champions League match, or the Super Bowl will give you an emotional rush.

27. Iconic Landmarks

Have you gone to the top of the Eiffel Tower or the St. Louis Gateway Arch? How about the Great Wall of China or the Taj Mahal.

Iconic landmarks deserve a bucket list checklist of their own.

How many have you visited?

28. World Famous Museums

Whether you think you like museums or not, I do believe that there are museums to suit everyone’s interest.

Art, history, archeology, dinosaurs, space, space travel, technology, etc.

Make a bucket list checklist for famous museums too.

Choose your top ones to visit first.

  • Le Louvre Museum- Paris
  • The Metropolitan of Art- NYC
  • The Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
  • The Prado- Madrid, Spain
  • The Vatican Museums- Vatican City, Italy
  • The Smithsonian Institution- Washington, DC
  • The State Mermitage Museum- St. Petersburg, Russia
  • The Uffizi Galleries- Florence, Italy
  • The British Museum- London
  • Smithsonian Museum of Natural History- Washington DC
  • Natural History Museum- London
  • Shanghai Science and Technology Museum
  • Vasa Museum- Stockholm
  • American Musuem of Natural History- NYC

29. Super High Observation Decks

I don’t mean just any observation deck at the top of a tall building, I’m referring to the highest ones on the planet.

Truly, the bucket list of observation decks.

30. African Safari Ride

I’ve only seen lions and elephants at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park and in zoos. But I can’t imagine coming face-to-face with real ones in the wild.

Can you?

31. Hand Gliding

I’m leaving this one off my list of travel bucket list ideas because it scares the hell out of me, just like bungee jumping.

But I can imagine how exhilarating it’d feel if the breeze brushed over my body while getting a bird’s eye view of the landscape below.

Here are some suggestions of places to hand glide in the world.

  • Kitty Hawk, North Carolina
  • Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
  • Interlaken District, Switzerland
  • Kahului, Hawaii
  • La Jolla, California
  • Fethiye, Turkey
  • La Torre, Valle de Bravo, Mexico
  • Salt Lake City, Utah

32. Brewery Tour

It’s uncanny just how many cans or bottles of beer one factory can make every hour.

I witnessed it myself at the Anheuser Busch plant tour in St. Louis.

The size of the operation is immense and awe-inspiring.

And just as you guessed you most likely will get free samples, provided you are of proper legal age of the local area’s government.

33. Swim with Dolphins

Seeing Dolphins swim in the wild will take your breath away, I can only imagine how it feels to swim with them.

Touching these muscular marine beauties would give you a true sense of their shear strength and how it allows them to do such amazing nautical feats.

34. Shark Encounters and Cage Dives

Could you imagine anything more terrifying and yet thrilling at the same time than seeing a Great While Shark lurk through the murky waters right at you?

This has got to make one of the top 10 travel bucket list ideas of all time.

Would you dare to do this?

Check out this list of world-famous shark encounters destinations for adventurous couples.

35. Snorkel in Great Barrier Reef

How do you think you’d feel entering a whole new world under the sea swimming among the array of colorful corrals?

If you’ve never snorkeled I highly recommend it. There’s nothing quite like feeling part of a giant sea aquarium.

36. Famous Waterfalls

A long time ago I lived in Venezuela. I still regret not ever going to Angel Falls.

On the other hand, growing up in Ohio I went to Niagara Falls several times since it only took 4 hours to drive there.

No matter where you live you can find a waterfall within a reasonable drive.

But the world’s biggest waterfalls make for one of the best quick getaways bucket list ideas.

Which waterfall would you like to see?

  • Niagara Falls, Canada
  • Victoria Falls, Zambia
  • Angel Falls, Venezuela
  • Iguazu Falls, Brazil
  • Sutherland Falls, New Zealand
  • Kurşunlu Falls, Turkey
  • Ban Gioc Waterfall- Vietnam
  • Gulfoss, Iceland
  • Yosemite Falls- Yosemite National Park, CA
  • Kaieteur Falls- Guyana

37. Northern Lights

Iceland, Norway, and Alaska get a lot of recognition as travel destinations for viewing the Northern Lights.

But you can get a glimpse of this nighttime glowing natural phenomenon in many other spots around the world.

38. Top Cathedral Tours

It’s hard to believe that engineering marvels were built many centuries ago.

All I hear from the people who have visited them is how awestruck they feel once they pass through the doors at their amazing architecture.

I’ve also heard how long the lines are to get in; therefore, it makes sense to book a tour.

Plus, you’d learn more about the history and all the interesting quirks surrounding them.

  • Chartes Cathedral- Chartres, France
  • Sagrada Familia- Barcelona, Spain
  • St Basil’s Cathedral- Moscow, Russia
  • Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore- Florence, Italy
  • Borgund Stave Church- Borgund, Norway
  • Berliner Dom- Berlin, Germany
  • Milan Cathedral- Milan, Italy
  • Durham Cathedral- Durham, UK
  • Notre Dame de Chartres- Paris

39. Float in the Red Sea

Another one of nature’s wonders gives you the opportunity to leave your worries behind and relax.

The Red Sea is surrounded by six countries:

  • Eastern shore: Saudi Arabia, Yemen
  • Western shore: Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, Djibouti

40. Famous Mosques

Here’s another stunning man-made marvel.

And you’ll find many in some amazing cities and the opportunity to learn about some amazing cultures and perhaps dine on some cuisines you’ve never tried.

41. Glow Worm Caves

Mostly in Australia and New Zealand, glow worms cover cave ceilings and emit a blue glow to lure prey in for a catch.

Looking at pictures makes it appear like a Disney boat ride adventure.

Take a guided boat tour to view this underground wonderland created by these illuminating creatures.

42. Food Festivals

Food festivals take place practically in every big city at some point in the year.

Pick a type of cuisine and somewhere out there you will find a food festival or farmer’s market event for it.

Here’s a list of some of the top food festivals in the US:

New Orleans may be known for Marti Gras but many residents of New Orleans profess that the New Orleans Jazz Festival is the event worth coming for.

Just like food festivals, you can find a variety of music festivals based on genres.

Here’s a list of some of the top music festivals in the US.

50. Snowy Mountain Cabin Getaway

This has existed on my bucket list for quite some time.

I picture me and my partner tucked away in front of a fireplace sipping wine while snow pelts the ground.

That’s my idea of a time-stands-still atmosphere.

Here are some popular mountain resorts with cabin rentals.

You can also check out some here on Vrbo.

51. Ancient Man-made Engineered Marvels

The mammoth waves at Nazaré  Canyon in Portugal often exceed 65 feet in height (20 meters) but can reach over 100 feet (30 meters).

The destination draws passionate surfers from all over the world to take on the challenge of riding some of the tallest waves on the planet.

54. Kayak Natural Springs

Central and North Florida offer some of the prettiest clear and blue water springs you can kayak on.

Encounter manatees, fish, turtles, and yes, even gators.

Why not travel to another part of the world, like Italy, one of the top wine producing countries.

74. Beachfront Cabana

Rather than just taking a dip in the water at the beach, why not stay in style at a beachfront cabana?

Have you ever slept next to the ocean or sea with the door and windows open?

This beats playing an app with nature sounds.

Check out beachfront cabanas at Vrbo.

81. Local Cuisine Cooking Course

I did this in New Orleans with my girlfriend and then again with my friend.

There are two kinds of cooking classes: 1) hands-on, where you cook with the instructor, and 2) demonstration, where you watch.

For both, you get to eat the food.

This is the best way to eat authentic local cuisine.

Typically, the class prepares one appetizer, one entree, and one dessert.

In the last New Orleans cooking class, we also received local Abita beer. Yum!

Check for Groupon deals for cooking classes for your next couples getaway. (It’s what I did both times).

If you live close to New York City then this probably does not make your travel bucket list ideas checklist.

However, if you live far away then this might just be your dream come true.

The atmosphere of a performing arts theater makes for quite the experience by itself, then the show is the icing on the cake.

Make plans to visit NYC and stop for a show.

Check out the schedule of these Broadway Theatres

86. Hollywood Stars Tour

Right before I took one of these double-decker bus tours I figured it’d be lame and feel very touristy.

Well, it did feel touristy, but I found it quite interesting as we traveled the streets of Hollywood Hills as the tour guide pointed out famous stars’ homes and provided some backstory.

Check Groupon for deals.

87. Drive Over Famous Bridges

Having family in the Bay area gave me the chance to visit San Francisco as a kid.

But it wasn’t until I started to return as an adult and drive over the Golden Gate Bridge that I got the full experience.

Drive up to Battery Spencer and Hawk Hill at Marin Headlands to get some of the best postcard views of the Golden Gate Bridge, downtown SF, and the bay.

There is a lot of mystique and history surrounding many of the world’s volcanoes.

Take, for example, Mt. Vesuvius that completed destroyed Pompeii.

The city was essentially fossilized in one instance.

And there are many other volcanoes that have erupted in recorded history that have their own stories to tell.

93. Eat Authentic Cuisine in Another Country

Of course, you wouldn’t travel to another country just to eat and turn around and come back.

Dining at a cliffside Mediterranean cafe in Italy or Greece would make up its own bucket list trip.

Picture sipping wine and sinking your teeth into one of your favorite French restaurants in Paris.

Choose at least one of the best restaurants, pastry shops, or another kind of eatery before you go.

Don’t just wing it.

94. Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony

Growing up in Northeast Ohio, we had the NFL, and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame close by.

95. Antarctica Expedition Cruise

This also makes the most unique travel bucket list ideas.

How many people do you know say they went to or at least saw the coast of Antarctica with their own eyes.

The site of icebergs or glaciers makes for quite an awe-inspiring experience.

Besides traveling to space, I can’t imagine another place that humans can travel to that is more unique and brings with it more bragging rights than going to Antarctica.

96. Strange Island Expedition

Some of the strangest islands are too dangerous to travel to, such as North Sentinel Island where an isolated indigenous tribe is completely broken off from the rest of society protects and prevents visitors.

However, there are others that you can visit and are still just as interesting with strange stories surrounding them.

Here is a list of some of those islands:

You can do just that on a guided dinosaur fossil hunt.

Of course, you will not get to keep any souvenirs.

But I’m sure you can take lots of pictures of the memories.

Check out these guided dinosaur fossil expeditions:

  • Paleo Adventures in South Dakota
  • Dig for a Day in Wyoming
  • Baisch’s Dinosaur Digs in Montana

98. Mediterranian Cruise

Of all the cruises in the world, I think this one tops them all.

Mediterranian cruises can stop at ports in three different continents: Europe, Africa, and Asia.

This is just one of the coolest bucket list ideas.

If the wonders of nature fascinate you like waterfalls, volcanoes, large lakes, and famous rivers then this is the travel idea for you.

I’ve not seen one up close, but I have from the air, which was quite fascinating.

Don’t you get excited about the idea of seeing something up close that most have only seen on TV or in the movies?

Here is a list of places that offer glacier and iceberg expeditions:

  • Antarctica
  • Alaska
  • Greenland
  • Norway
  • Iceland
  • Patagonia, Argentina
  • British Colombian, Canada

100. Rainforest Tour

When I lived in Caracas, Venezuela, I couldn’t believe it when I saw wild macaws flying by my apartment/

But I can only imagine had I traveled south to the Amazon rainforests to see toucans, sloths, spider monkeys, or even crocodiles.

Here are some places where you can take guided rainforest tours:

  • Madagascar
  • Costa Rica
  • Peru
  • Ecuador
  • Sri Lanka
  • Panama

10 Subtle Ways to Make Men Chase and Dominate Their Hearts

10 Subtle Ways to Make Men Chase and Dominate Their Hearts

Attractive regular everyday women can practice these same subtle ways to make men chase and thus become irresistible and approachable to high quality, relationship-seeking men.

Before we begin, I wish to clarify my definition of “make men chase”.

To some, “make men chase” depicts some women as unattainable and placed on some kind of towering pedestal. She glides down the street or hall in grace while on a mission, always equipped with a forward glance while never paying mind to the mere mortal men she passes.

This strategy of “hard-to-get” limits her circle of choices to the small pool of men who foolishly chase after those “limited-access” women.

The problem with this concept is simple.

It scares off most men and prevents a woman from meeting the men who could make a good personality and value match- a healthy relationship partner.

Do You Want to Be“Hard-to-Get” or “Impossible-to-Get”?

Playing “hard-to-get” is quite different than playing “impossible-to-get”.

The average regular man who will make a good partner with you will NOT approach women who outright ignore him- who do not give him any sign of approval.

Yes, we want to feel like we’re “hunting” and that we have won our “prize woman”, but only if we FEEL THERE IS A CHANCE OF WINNING.

When an attractive man approaches you without you giving him a hint that you like him great, perfect.

But what about when he doesn’t? Do you want to risk that you never see him again or that he approaches other women? No, right?

When this happens your objective should shift to giving him subtle signs that he has permission to advance.

Grant him the opportunity to “audition” for the right to reach the next stage of courtship.

Grant him the opportunity to “audition” for the right to reach the next stage of courtship.

10 Subtle Ways to Make Men Chase and Attempt to Win You Over

Grant Them the Audition for the Right to Advance

As I stated before, we love “the hunt”, “the chase”, but very few men will initiate the chase if they feel they have NO CHANCE of winning.

These subtle ways to make men chase and make the first big move to win you over is a combination of light flirting and you sending the message, “I like what I see Mister. Now let’s see what you’ve got. Showtime. Go!”

1. Eye Contact

One of the most powerful ways to dominate a man is with eye contact.

If you want to give him the “green light” then hold eye contact for at least 2-3 seconds.

Make him feel that you offer your approval while still leaving room for him to make the next move.

(Eye contact also makes my list of flirty moves for shy women to dominate men).

What NOT to Do

Make him feel your look is accidental. Don’t make a split-second glance, then look away.

He won’t any reason to make a move and try to talk with you.

2. Face Him

Show him you mean to look at him.

Make him feel that you enjoy it, but that he will have to work to get more of your attention.

Let him feel that he has a chance, almost like you grant him an audition.

What NOT to Do

Do not look like you are in a hurry to get away or that you have more important things to do. While you speak with him he should feel like you enjoy it.

3. Smile

Show him that you are a happy person, at least around him.

Smile to show him that you enjoy seeing him.

Make him feel like he makes you smile.

That’s a feeling that’s hard to beat for us men.

We want to feel that you approve, that we have a shot to succeed with you.

What NOT to Do

Do not smile quickly to get it over with and especially do not smile with fear. He should feel like you are smiling because you enjoy looking at him and vice versa.

4. Fun and Flirtatious

You prefer a man who knows how to have fun, right?

We want the same from you.

Laugh.

Tease.

Make flirty comments (make a post about this- Wow, I’m so distracted right now)

Wink.

Poke him.

Try these flirty conversation starters.

What NOT to Do

Do not see flirting as childish or a chore. If you do then have you considered that you might lack the confidence to flirt? Honestly, who finds overly serious people attractive? Love is supposed to be fun and vulnerable at the same time.

4. Display Confidence

Confident body language such as eye contact, powerful arm, and hand positions, and face him when you speak are some of the most subtle ways to make men chase and find you irresistible.

Show that you move with purpose and without fear. Speak up, speak clearly.

Display excitement when you speak. He should see it in your body and hear it in your voice.

What NOT to Do

Do not overdo the excitement. Instead, scale it up. First, show him you are happy to see him. Then when he matches your level of excitement. Move it up a notch. But not too much, just enough that he sees you are giving him more attention than you would normally to other men.

Also, do not send mixed signals. This one is huge. For example, do not make eye contact or do other things to get his attention such as flirting, then when he gives you attention, come across uninterested. It’s understandable to be nervous but do not seem disinterested or you may not get another chance.

5. Touch Him

Nothing makes his heart pump faster than when you touch him.

I’m not suggesting anything sexual. Just innocent touch on this arm, shoulder, or lower back.

Make him feel that you’re comfortable being close and that you enjoy being in his close personal space.

What NOT to Do

Do not make it look accidental. Make him feel that you want to touch him. If he sees you doing this to all men then he’ll just assume that you are just confident women with all men. Make the ones you like to know that they are special, different than the rest in your eyes.

6. Compliment Him

I’m not asking you to make his head swell and make him feel conceited.

Just make him feel special, that he stands out to you with a cute, innocent, but simple compliment.

Compliment something he’s wearing, his smile, a personality trait you observe about him, anything that stands out that you find unique to him.

In the end, we want to feel unique to someone.

He’ll adore you for it and find you irresistible.

What NOT to Do

Do not feel that you have to compliment big things or that it is your job to build up his confidence. Just show your approval of genuine things you like about him.

Make Him Earn Your Respect, Time, and Affection

These last few subtle ways to make men chase serve as the basis for creating the allure that you are the “prize-to-be-won”. Make him earn your respect now that you got his attention.

He should feel that you have granted him “an audition” and now he needs to perform to get to the next step.

These keys set the stage to earn his respect and ultimately separate mature relationship-seeking men from all the rest.

7. Tell Him What You Don’t Like

One of the best moments to get a man to chase and see where you stand with him is when he makes a mistake.

You CANNOT just let his mistake slide.

Instead, tell him the behaviors that you do NOT approve of.

Give him the opportunity to make things right.

What he does next will allow things to move forward or come to a halt.

If he works to make things right and to get your approval, then you know that you’re special to him.

What NOT to Do

Do NOT complain about things you do not like or belittle him. The idea here is not to bash him and ruin his confidence. What I mean is make him respect you. Point out the disrespectful things he does or ways he neglects you. (Do not give him reasons to run away. Do not do these things that push men away.)

8. Tell Him What You Like and Want

Make it clear the things you like such as your preferences (things you like to do for fun, your favorite foods, etc.) and the behaviors you expect from men.

Also, make it known what you would like to happen next, but allow him the opportunity to take action.

Try out these ways to tell a man what you want and get it.

What NOT to Do

I am not referring to the things that you like about him. Instead, I mean hint to him the things that you enjoy. Then sit back and see if he takes action to make you happy. The same thing goes for expectations. Once you start to date or establish a relationship, state your side of what you want to happen. Then see if he follows through.

9. Make Him Earn Your Approval and Affection

This is really a mindset piece.

By confirming which behaviors and actions that you approve of and also by stating what you would like to see happen in the future, you put the ball in his court.

You’re leaving it up to him to follow through or to fail.

This gives him the reins, but it also makes him work to earn the right to advance or to lose it.

Reward him for the things he does that you like.

Here are the best ways to thank a man.

What NOT to Do

Do not manipulate him into getting what you want. This will ultimately end with your demise. Do not state what you will give in return. And do not shame a man to get what you want. Eventually, he will catch on and leave you or cheat.

10. Make Him Fit You into His Schedule

If you want another way to see how hard a man will work to find time for you, do just that, make him find time for you. Make him fit into your schedule.

Give him the days and times that you can see him.

What NOT to Do

Do not get bossy. Work out the details with him. If he cannot make the times you offer, then suggest a Plan B. Search for other times. I just do not want you to come across as always being available or someone ready to drop everything they’re doing to see him. This looks needy and insecure.

Bonus: Live a Happy Fruitful Life With Or Without Him

People who enjoy life draw people to them like magnets. Who wants to be around negative people?

Enjoy your life for your own sake and subconsciously send the message that you do not need him, but that you would prefer he be around.

Furthermore, this illustrates that you are not one to sit around and wait for him, that you are not always readily available.

Once again, he must find the time to fit into your schedule.

10 Flirty Moves for Introverted Women to Make His Heart Skip a Beat

10 Flirty Moves for Introverted Women to Make His Heart Skip a Beat

There’s something mysterious about quiet women that makes them downright irresistible. These flirty moves for introverted women give them an unfair advantage over our meager male hearts.

And let’s be clear when I say introverted I don’t mean deathly fearful to talk to and meet men, I just mean not shamefully outgoing and forward.

It Just Takes One Move to Render Him Helpless

No need to try anything fancy. Just show him that you approve of him and that you give him the “green light” to advance and make the next meaningful move.

The average person will not approach other people unless they feel the other person wants to meet them.

As men, we enjoy the excitement of trying to dominate women’s hearts, some of us call it “hunting”. But we still want to limit the risk of rejection.

No man enjoys outright rejection.

These simple flirty moves for introverted women limit the risk for him while still letting him feel the excitement of “making a move on you”.

I’m not asking you to ask for his phone number or ask to meet up with him, rather just give him the “right to advance”.

Here’s how to do it…

Simple Flirty Moves for Introverted Women that Grant Him the Right to Advance

1. Eye Contact

I’m not asking for much here. Just hold eye contact for 2 to 3 seconds. Let him know you mean to look and that you enjoy the view. He should know that you did it on purpose.

Sometimes making eye contact is accidental.

But when the same woman catches our glance on multiple occasions or holds it steady rather than looking away, we know this means more than a coincidence.

And that’s all the nudge we need to make a move.

If he doesn’t make eye contact first, would you have the courage to do it?

2. Smile

Now that you got his attention smile. Nothing gaudy. Just a quick smile to say hello.

The key here is to both 1) make eye contact and 2) smile at the same time.

This gets me (and every other guy) every time.

That’s really all it takes.

The entire list here of flirty moves for introverted women is simple- nothing fancy, just easy ways to get a man’s attention if you need to.

3. Say Hello

Of course, if you can muster up the courage, actually say, “Hello.”

Do so softly.

And do it while smiling- again, nothing big, just a small smile.

This is so adorable.

He will know it took courage- that makes it all the more irresistible.

What Is ‘the Hero Instinct’ in James Bauer’s “His Secret Obsession”?

4. Introduce Yourself

When you come across a guy you’ve never met, or you know of him but you’ve never spoken consider just starting with a subtle introduction.

That might be all you need to win him over and open things up for him to want to know more about you.

Just simply state your name and state that it’s nice to meet him.

He will follow suit and introduce himself.

5. Compliment Him

Subtly draw attention to yourself by complimenting something about him.

He’ll have no choice but to find you attractive for it.

Not sure what to compliment?

Try any of these:

  • Something he’s wearing
  • Something he’s carrying.
  • A sticker, pin, patch on his coat, bag, or laptop
  • The way he does something
  • His laugh
  • And you can gather up enough courage and really want to make his heart thump, his smile or eyes.

What do you say?

Just simply say either “I like (fill in the blank)” or “Nice (fill in the blank).”

He knows you’re normally more on the quiet side which makes you that much more attractive when you show a bit of courage to break out of your shell.

6. Address Him By Name

Nothing sounds sweeter when a girl calls us by name, except calling us handsome of course.

Whenever a girl says my name, especially when I see her more on the shy side, my heart pounds.

I think, “What about me made her open up?”

It makes me feel special, and thus, I have no choice but to find her attractive for it.

7. Wave

There’s something irresistible about an introverted girl waving to say “hello”. It’s just so cute.

It shows that you’re approachable.

If you want a man to make a move then he must feel like you want him to approach.

8. Straighten His Collar

Pretend to be doing something nice for him, just straighten up his collar. Pretend to straighten it. He won’t know the difference.

Or pretend to remove a piece of lint from his shirt.

Having you close will make his blood pump faster.

9. Laugh at His Jokes

Most of us men cannot resist finding a girl attractive when she laughs at our jokes, as long as she doesn’t do it in an obnoxious and annoying way.

Just like you, we want to feel appreciated and liked.

And when you laugh at his jokes it makes him feel accepted and that he can entertain you.

All of those feelings serve as nudges to give him the confidence to proceed and make the next move.

Remember leave the door open, let him pass through.

10. Touch His Arm

Any time you can get up close within his personal space and while showing no fear, like you enjoy being next to him, his heart will pause.

But when you touch him, even when innocently just touching his arm for a second or lower back, you place a goddess-like spell over him.

The flirty moves for introverted women in this blog post serve as your sign of approval.

You are saying I like you. I approve of you, but now it’s your turn.

Almost like you’re playing a game of tag.

Now he chases.

Make Him Want You: 10 Ways Men Find Women Attractive

Make Him Want You: 10 Ways Men Find Women Attractive

How familiar are you with the ways men find women attractive for more than just looks- do you know the different ways men find women attractive?

Some women just get it. They swallow their pride and let men be the person they want to be- while still earning their respect.

These women possess the confidence to pull this list of male mind hacks to drive us men wild for them.

It doesn’t matter if they are tall and skinny, short and pudgy, or not the best-looking.

They know things other women do not understand about men.

These women enjoy their lives with or without men and hold out for only the right emotionally mature relationship-seeking, available men who treat them well.

They don’t live in the past or beat themselves up when things don’t work out with a guy.

And above they stay true to themselves.

How open are you to learning new ways to dominate men emotionally?

Or do you just want to keep getting in your own way and pushing him away?

Learn the simple ways to make him want you while still getting the respect you desire.

Here are some of the things women do who have mastered the ways men find women attractive.

10 Ways Men Find Women Attractive that ONLY SOME Women Understand

Make Him Want You and Get the Respect You Desire

What do men find attractive in women?

First, let’s start with the ONLY two suggestions in this list that relate to physical beauty.

1. Choose Clothes and Apparel that Suit Your Body Type

I am NOT a fashionista by any means. But I do know that when a female dresses in a way that matches her body type it is quite attractive. We men like it when women carefully select a look that suits them. Think of it as finding the right brand for yourself. It makes you stand out.

Here are a few blog posts on other blogs that cover this topic:

  • Dressing for Your Body Shape Guide
  • The Five Most Flattering Dress for Your Body Shape
  • Determining Your Body Shape and Styles that Will Fit and Flatter

2. Choose the Hairstyle that Suits Your Body Type

Again, I’m personally know nothing about HOW to choose fashion or hairstyles BUT I do know how it makes me and other men feel when a woman chooses the right ones that fit her height and body type. No matter if you have extra padding or are tall or short, choosing the right fashion and hairstyle matters and can make you look super attractive.

Here are some blog posts on other blogs that cover this topic:

  • The Best Hairstyles for Women of Every Body Type
  • The Most Flattering Haircut for Your Body Type
  • Why Face Shape Matters When Choosing a Hairstyle

3. Enter His Personal Space

Show him that you don’t fear him and that you enjoy being up close and personal. Do this by simply entering his personal space within 3 feet of him. As you get close make sure you…

Here are some simple ways to move in on him that we men like:

  • Fix his collar
  • Remove a piece of lint from his shoulder
  • Straighten his shirt
  • Pull down the bill of his hat
  • Interlock your arm with his
  • Side-hug him for a second

And if you’re bold enough hug him around the neck and tell him how manly he smells.

4. Touch Him

…dominate him with simple inoffensive touch and watch how he warms up to you real quick.

Check out my blog post 10 Ways to Dominate a Man with Your Touch

Then next be sure to…

5. Hold Eye Contact and Slight Smile

We need to know that you approve of us and find us attractive. Besides just coming right out and telling us that another way is to 1) Enter His Personal Space 2) Touch Him (check out my post 10 Ways to Inoffensively Touch a Man and Make Him Want You 3) Hold Eye Contact and Smile

You don’t need a big smile (just a small, quick one) nor do you need to hold eye contact for long (just 1 to 2 seconds).

Read this blog post about these flirty female power moves.

6. Make Him Want More (Make Him Chase)

This may sound so simple that you get the urge to ignore it, but this is the single best advice for women dating or in a relationship with men I can give you.

Learn to make him want more.

Give him a little taste then metaphorically walk away.

This includes ALL aspects of communication:

  • Body language
  • Gestures and mannerisms
  • Text Messages
  • Voicemails
  • Phone Calls
  • Face-to-Face conversation

7. Tease Him with Playful Remarks and Questions

This one gets me… every time.

One of my all-time favorite exchanges with a woman came from a simple flirty remark.

After we worked together one day, she asked if I was checking her out.

When I said, “No.”

She replied, “That’s too bad. I wish you had.”

8. Flirty Curiosity-Inducing Text Messages

Text messages provide you with a quick way to turn things flirty with a man.

The trick is to write engaging texts that fascinate him and make it too hard to resist replying to.

One time I sent a text to a woman I met at a company softball league game.

In it, I commented and asked, ” I didn’t want to stare but what color are your eyes.”

Replied, “You can stare all you want.”

I about fell down from the excitement.

9. Cute Animated Gestures and Mannerisms

The more confident a woman feels and interactive she gets with a man, the more interesting it makes her look.

The same woman from number 8 on this list was an expert at expressing herself through animated body language.

I found her irresistibly attractive because of it.

Her feminine energy overpowered me.

She attracted me against my will.

Check out these examples of her animated gestures and mannerisms:

  • Blowing a kiss and winking
  • Walking as if modeling on a catwalk
  • Winking and then smiling
  • Tilting your head and laying it on your open hand while smiling and making eye contact
  • Waving and smiling
  • Biting your lower lip, winking, slightly smiling, and then making eye contact
  • Putting your hand up in a stop motion and turning your head away, then peeking back and smiling

10. Play with Props

Hats, coats, scarves, skirts… well… playing with any prop makes you more interesting and makes you magnetic.

Think of it like acting.

It just optimizes your attractiveness- your cuteness.

Here are some examples:

  • Partially covering your face with a hat while peeking around it with one eye.
  • Tilting your glasses down while peeking above them and smirking
  • Tilting your hat to the side while making eye contact and smiling
  • Holding up your coat and hiding behind it like a curtain then dropping it and curtsying like an actress
  • Swirling your finger around the rim of a wine glass in a circular motion while making powerful eye contact

BONUS 1: Ask for Help- Fix Your Problem

Men cannot resist the temptation to solve problems for you. It makes us feel useful and needed.

Learn how to tap into our male emotional trigger systems with the help of relationship coach James Bauer’s His Secret Obsession.

I share the highlights of the top features of His Secret Obsession here in my blog post.

BONUS 2: Learn About the Hero Instinct

Why do we men fascinate about feeling like your hero?

When you accept that our needs to please you are simple and do not take it personally that we want to help you then you’ll be amazed how easy it becomes to make men chase you.

Check out these male emotional mind hacks in my blog post.

5 Step Content Creation [Formula] … Fast, Simple, Endless Ideas

5 Step Content Creation [Formula] … Fast, Simple, Endless Ideas

Too much to do, so little time. A bunch of content creation and a zillion other tasks. And you work alone. Ugh!

(Not to mention- try to convert affiliate sales.)

But in this post, I will show you a few simple tricks that I use to create content fast.

And that allows me to literally create content infinitely.

Endless content.

And soon you will too.

It doesn’t matter what kind of content you want to make.

You’ll write endless posts, create endless eBooks, lead magnets, emails to subscribers and…

…you can apply the concept to video creation, slide shows…

…any kind of content!

Who’s This Post Designed For?

New bloggers (30 blog posts or less) looking for ideas to establish habits to create high-quality content efficiently while avoiding writer’s block and to pinpoint their target audience’s needs for each piece of content. | Established bloggers (30+ blog posts/1 year+ blogging) looking for ideas on how to create content that digs deeper and satisfies more unique specific needs of their segmented targeted audiences

5 Steps to Fast Content Creation … an ENDLESS Stream of Ideas

…Posts, Emails, Lead Magnets, eBooks, Online Courses, Video

Endless content creation ideas … forever … endless ideas? | Photo by Juan from Pexels

[Step One] of 5-Step Content Creation

Create High-Level Content Topics within Your Niche

Your content creation strategy will come easy if you start with higher-level terms and then expand into sub-topics.

Build smaller websites within your site.

This step alone will pave the way to create endless interlinking blog posts.

How does this work?

Visual a pyramid.

Place a high-level content topic within your niche at the apex.

Here’s an example from the dating and relationship niche: Text Messages

“Text messages” will make up our main post topic.

In Step Two we will expand to the different kinds of text messages and at more targeted audience.

Always keep SEO in mind, for Step One choose two-word keyword phrases (less competition, more relevant to your niche and topic). Plus, they eliminate filler words called stop words which can lead to extra unrelated search engine results.

(Note: single keywords typically receive too much competition or have multiple meanings nothing related to your niche. ALTHOUGH, single keywords relevant to your niche and with low competition and high-demand are IDEAL- “diamonds in the rough”)

And check out more examples from the dating and relationship niche here:

Two-word Keywords in Dating and Relationship Niche

  • Sex Life
  • Sex Toys
  • Mr. Right
  • Date Night
  • Date Ideas
  • Single Life
  • Married Life
  • Long-Distance Relationship (hyphenated words count as one word)
  • Serial Cheater
  • Cheating Signs
  • Marriage Therapy
  • Relationship Therapy
  • Dating Profiles
  • Romantic Getaways
  • Dating App(s)
  • Sexless Marriage
  • Emotional Affair
  • Sensual Massage
  • Couples Massage
  • Healthy Relationship
  • Toxic Relationship
  • Save Marriage
  • Relationship Conflict
  • Subliminal Seduction
  • Seduction Stories
  • Sexual Addiction
  • Conversation Starters
  • Pick-up Lines
  • Seductive Lingerie
  • Sexy Comments
  • Keto Diet
  • Romantic Getaways
  • Sexy Lingerie
  • Marriage Separation
  • Hand-held Massager
  • Electric Massager
  • Massage Oils
  • Sensual Oils
  • Portable Massager
  • Boyfriend Gifts
  • Wife Gifts
  • Husband Gifts
  • Romantic Notes
  • Romantic Gifts
  • Romantic Compliments
  • Romantic Phrases
  • Romantic Kiss
  • French Kiss

[Step Two] of 5-Step Content Creation

Sub-Niche Content Ideas: Dig Deeper

5 Step Content Creation Formula for relationship bloggers

Next, we will expand on Step One and link to sub-topic blog posts that link back to and support the high-level content.

Plus, we will target a more specific audience with the headline.

That way we attract ONLY the people who we want to read the post.

(Why would you want men to visit a post when you promote affiliate products designed for women?)

In the example from Step One we took “text messages” (or just texts).

Now let’s dig deeper.

What kind of text messages?

Simply add a category of text message at the beginning.

Choose adjectives or occasions.

Run the keyword research on it first, to make sure it makes sense to write an entire post on them.

Check out this list of examples below.

Three-word Keywords in Dating and Relationship Niche

  • Romantic Text Messages
  • Erotic Text Messages
  • Cute Text Messages
  • Emotional Text Messages
  • Funny Text Messages
  • Good Morning Text Messages
  • Good Night Text Messages
  • Flirty Text Messages
  • Sexy Text Messages
  • First Text Message

What about other content ideas from the dating and relationship niche?

Remember, look for three-word keyword phrases:

  • Emotionally Distant Man
  • Emotionally Distant Husband

Not only does this list of content ideas focus on deeper targeted topics, but I optimized them to help promote affiliate products.

Let’s take it one step deeper by choosing a more specific target audience.

We will do this by adding a sub-heading and combining it to the main heading.

The Co-schedule Headline Analyzer suggests that 9 words makes the perfect length.

Why?

They won’t fit within search engine results.

How Effective is Your Headline? (Test it with Co-Schedule=>)

Insert your headline. Get a score.https://coschedule.com/headline-analyzer

(Run your headlines in the Co-schedule Headline Analyzer to check out if they pass the test).

Who do you want to target?

What emotional benefit do they want to experience?

Consider adding a time frame to create a sense of urgency and excitement.

Check out these possibilities with “text messages”:

Target Audience Sub-Heading Examples

  • Romantic Text Messages to Melt His Heart
  • Sweet Love Text Messages to Make His Heart Pound
  • Erotic Texts to Turn Him on at the Office
  • Good Night Texts to Make Him Dream about You
  • Good Morning Texts to Make Him Miss You All Day
  • Flirty Texts to Make Him Want to See You TODAY

Who’s the target audience?

Women dating or meeting men who they want to get the upper-hand with and win his heart.

Or women in relationships who want their men to show them more appreciation.

Target audience is more than just age, sex, income, location.

A major factor are their WANTS, NEEDS and FEARS.

Let’s compress that and summarize that down to one word: MOTIVATION.

Running a newsletter, asking your subscribers questions, inserting polls into your blog posts, sending out surveys, replying to your emails to help and ask your subscribers questions allows you to better understand their WANTS, NEEDS and FEARS.

The sub-headings provide a more compelling and enticing reason to click-through to read the blog posts, don’t you agree?

Now let’s check out some other sub-heading ideas that include “MOTIVATION”.

[Step Three] of 5-Step Content Creation

Re-purpose Content: How to Turn One Piece of Content into 10+

5 Step Content Creation Formula for Relationship Bloggers

Tired of writing and writing and starting over?

This section is for you.

You probably have heard the term repurpose content.

If not, if refers to taking one piece of content, for example, a blog post, and turning it into another piece of content, for example, an eBook lead magnet.

You can do this on an “as-is” basis, or make some adjustments.

I’ve done both.

And if you’re looking for one of the easiest ways to turn a blog post into an eBook then check out Designrr.com.

I created an eBook (including cover) within minutes from one of my epic long blog posts on how to create text messages that get men to chase.

Click here for more information on Designerr.

Repurposing gives you a fast and efficient way to repackage ANY piece of your content.

No single subscriber or visitor will ever read ALL of your content.

And new content becomes old anyway.

So, why not turn your list posts into email series, your emails series to eBooks or video slide shows, email series into mini-online courses or even assemble packages of digital products bonus products then offer them in exchange for the purchase of affiliate products through your affiliate links.

Check out my instructional post how to create and assemble packages of products to promote the purchase of affiliate products through your links.

Start a podcast.

And if you do not wish to write all your own content.

Then consider hiring someone from the popular blogger and internet marketer site Fiverr.com to write one post for you (as in starting at $5 per project).

[Step Four] of 5-Step Content Creation

How ONE Blog Post Turns into 11

5 Step Content Creation Formula for Relationship Bloggers

Just like the rest of the ideas on the rest of this blog post, these content creation ideas are super simple.

Nothing complicated.

Combine Steps One and Two.

Create a list of at least 10 brainstormed headlines for Step One.

(Remember to conduct keyword research on them first).

Choose the best one.

Then brainstorm a list of around 20 sub-topics.

Choose the top ten.

Then create an outline of them all.

Now follow these steps:

5 Steps to Turn One Blog Post into Eleven

1) Make each sub-topic post into a numbered point on the main list post (I’ll show you an example in a moment).

2) Fill in each section with a brief description with no more than 3-5 sample texts

3) Write a captivating and compelling introduction.

4) Then a summary with CTA (sign up for your newsletter or purchase an affiliate product)

5) Finally, turn each sub-topic into its own blog post. Use the same examples that you used on the main post and then add more (at least 10 total).

Now you have your mini-website that I describe in the first two steps above.

Check out how the outline would look with my text message post examples from Steps One and Two.

10 Text Messages to Turn Men On and Make Them Chase (Main Post)

  1. Romantic Text Messages to Melt His Heart
  2. Sweet Love Text Messages to Make His Heart Pound
  3. Erotic Texts to Turn Him on at the Office
  4. Good Night Texts to Make Him Dream about You
  5. Good Morning Texts to Make Him Miss You All Day
  6. Flirty Texts to Make Him Want to See You TODAY
  7. First Text Message to Send Guy You Just Met
  8. Cute Text Messages to Make Him Blush
  9. Emotional Text Messages to Connect with Him
  10. Funny Text Messages to Break Up the Boring Routine

Then each of the numbered posts here become their own post.

A pretty simple content creation idea, right?

And now onto the most efficient and easiest one.

[Step Five] of 5-Step Content Creation

Fast Content Creation with Guest Posting (and make money doing it)

5 Step Content Creation Formula for Relationship Bloggers

Get other bloggers to write them for you on your own blog.

This creates a win-win for both of you.

It gives them backlinks to their site.

A chance to grow their email subscriber list.

And you could even offer to split affiliate sale commissions.

Just track the sales on a spreadsheet using trackable links and then pay them via Paypal or Payoneer.

How do you find others to guest blog for you?

How do you contact them?

Who makes an ideal guest blogger?

And how do you convince them?

Here are the two ways I have found and contacted others to guest blog for me.

1) Tapped into a social media community. For me, that’s currently Pinterest.

2) Emailed them from their contact page.

It’s quite simple, but I will share with you the details in a moment how to do this in a moment.

Who Makes the IDEAL Guest Blogger?

I don’t always follow these rules because sometimes I just want to help new bloggers get ahead.

Follow this checklist of items:

They have a following to which they could promote the blog post. This will bring extra traffic to the post.

Ideally look for someone who has a substantial amount of social media followers, traffic and/or email subscribers or subscribers to their blog.

In my case, I’d search for someone who has:

  • 1K+ Pinterest followers
  • 150K+ monthly Pinterest viewers
  • 1K+ email subscribers
  • 10K+ blog pageviews
  • 5K+ unique monthly visitors
  • They’ve written similar content to what I want for my guest blog posts

You can find the Pinterest stats on their profile, the rest you’d have to ask them for.

Don’t over think these numbers.

Remember, some new bloggers will grow them to much bigger numbers later.

And since you helped them early on, they’re likely to return the favor later or collaborate on future projects

How to Reach Out and Convince Them

Reaching out won’t suffice.

Any idea how many times other bloggers have reached out to me for guest posts?

A bunch.

But did I agree to do them?

No.

In fact, I didn’t even respond to most of them.

Why?

Because they sounded like sales pitches.

They wanted to put their affiliate links and then send me garbage posts.

You could tell that they just copy-and-pasted the same message to me and everyone else.

Don’t do what these spammy bloggers do.

Of course, in your case you will reach out to others to post on your blog but the concept remains the same.

Show value to the blog owner, show that you wish to create a mutually beneficial collaboration.

Follow these steps I’ve personally done:

1) Research their Content

Only reach out to bloggers who have written content that aligns with the topics for upcoming blog posts.

To simplify this and do it fast just sift through Pinterest Boards and Pins. Check your fellow contributors on Group Board, people you follow or conduct searches with the keywords you plan to use.

2) Compliment them

Leave a compliment on their Pin with their name and on something specific you read on their post. And comment on your interest to invite them to do a guest post with you.

Find their name either in their Pinterest profile or on their About Me page on their blog.

Here is an example of a personalized compliment to leave on their Pin.

(Example: Sue great post and Pin. Thank you for writing this! I totally agree with #3 (the name of the sub-heading from the post) of your post. (Insert brief recap of what she wrote and why you agree). I have an idea for a guest post to do on my blog. I sent you the details via email. Thank you again!

3) Message them through Multiple Contact Points

Message them through Pinterest of your interest to do a guest post and then email them via their blog contact page.

Why message them in so many places?

Because every one has their preferred method of contact.

They may not see just the message from Pinterest or their email.

4) Email them

Preferably send the email before you message them in case they check for it before you actually send it.

Keep it brief.

Then offer a few topic ideas and then ask them to reply for more details if they’re interested.

No point of saying anything more yet until they show interest.

Then if they respond and ask for more details send the post guidelines.

The Second Email: Guest Post Guidelines

Now that they’ve show interest and want the details you must not just settle for whatever they send you.

And you certainly do not want them to send copied posts from someone else.

Check out the guidelines list I’ve sent.

Guest Post Guideline (Example)

Title

(Include focus keyword phrase in title)

Focus Keyword Phrase

(two-word or three-word keyword phrase) like mentioned in Step Two

Other Keywords to Include

(add 3-5 other keyword phrases for SEO purposes; two-word phrases, three-word phrases and long-tail phrases)

Length

(total word count)

Keyword Density

1/2 percent of all words in post

Target Audience

(Get specific, but include more than sex and age range, most importantly include DESIRES, FEARS, WANTS, CHALLENGES that the typical reader of this planned guest post goes through)

# of Subheadings

3-5 H2 subheadings plus you can include 3-5 H3 if it helps break up your body sections

Style

(Conversational, speak directly to the viewer as if you were sitting across the table from ONE person, speak in second person (you), not third person (he, she, they))

Format:

(No bulky paragraphs, just like how I write my emails to you, with white space, preferably one line then space but no more than 2 lines together, shorter sentences, preferably no longer than 25 words, but some should be as short as 3-5 words- it’s more conversational that way, blog formatting is not the same as a print formatting, people’s attention spans are MUCH shorter and the always have the temptation to click away and look elsewhere for answers)

Value Proposition

(Identify the challenge/problem (internal emotions and feelings), provide a solution (the emotions and feelings they want to experience), you can provide the solution immediately after stating the challenge, or at the end of the post)

Other Suggestions

(Focus on the target audience of this particular piece of content first, the topic second because the topic is interpreted differently depending on the specific audience)

Original Content

(Write the content yourself and do not use something that has already been published online ANYWHERE)

To make this easy also consider this next suggestion.

“Write for Me”: Guest Post Guidelines

Create a “Write for Me” page and include your guest post guidelines there.

In fact, once you get enough traffic and/or followers, again:

  • 1K+ Pinterest followers
  • 150K+ monthly Pinterest viewers
  • 1K+ email subscribers
  • 10K+ blog pageviews
  • 5K+ unique monthly visitors
  • They’ve written similar content to what I want for my guest blog posts

Then you could charge for guest posts.

To choose a price research what fellow bloggers within your social media circle to see what other bloggers with similar stats ask for.
