For example:

  • Say you’re in the Scrapbooking market.
  • You’ve got number 4 for the ‘Ideas List’ which says “Showcase / Discuss a ‘job’ (task / career / process)”, now for a word… how about ‘Embellish’.
  • Ok now for the Blog Spin we have number 1 “Economy: How is/has it affected this; how to afford this; ways to pay this;” … how about “Budget”.
  • So the google search will be “Scrapbooking+budget+embellish”, the order of the words don’t matter.
