In an attempt to give my business a kick start I'm going to invest in the help of some SEO expertise and see if we can move Pen2Paper.co up the Google rankings. I'll report our progress on this Blog and we'll see if this is worth the investment. The more I learn about SEO, the more I realise there is to it. Together with the SEO company, we've researched some of the key phrases that people use to search for help with writing for children, so I plan to select a few of those phrases and see if they can help me raise the profile of Pen2Paper.co for those key phrases.
I always knew this would be a long term project, so let's hope this is the start of the next phase.

Micro story writing competition
I've just launched a new story writing competition. Anyone can enter and it's totally free. If you think you can write a 100 word 'micro' story for children containing 3 key words, then take a look at Pen2Paper.CO to find out more.
A 100 word story is difficult to write, and even harder to write well, but if you think you're up to the challenge take a look now, put pen to paper and start creating.
The winner will have the choice of either receiving a free book, written by the world's number one storyteller, or a free download of one of the lessons from the Pen2Paper writing course. The winning 'micro' story will be published on the Pen2Paper website.
Closing date for entries is the end of June.
Good luck and have fun writing your 'micro' story.

New domain names
I'm not sure if the name I'm using for my website might not be helping my search engine optimisation. Initially I thought Pen2Paper was quite a catchy name but apparently you'll help your rankings if some of your keywords are also in your domain name. I'm also using a .CO extension too which, according to Google, shouldn't hinder rankings, but it does seem to confuse people.
So I've purchased 3 additional domain names and redirected these to all point to Pen2Paper.CO for the time being. I believe any ranking points achieved by these domains (none at the moment) would be passed on to the main hosting domain Pen2Paper.co.
The 3 additional domains are www.write4kids.co.uk, www.writeforkids.co.uk and www.writechildrensbooks.co.uk. So they're all .co.uk domains and have a mixture of the keywords I'd like my website to be indexed for.
I'm planning on using one of these new domains to host a variation on my Pen2Paper website. I understand that I shouldn't just reuse the Pen2Paper site as the search engines don't like this. Only time will tell if working on these additional domains will help my rankings.
Let me know what you think.
