Biggest points that I personally gleaned from our conversations:

• Life CAN be easy and graceful.  When it is, you know that  you’re on the right path and headed in the right direction.
• Trust, especially trust in yourself, is the most critical element in leaping into your passions and thriving.
• Fears may come and go along the journey, and to succeed, you must operate from a place that transcends them.

Her Radio Show Interview

Her Written Passion Q&A

SO: Your definition of “passion” – your “WHY” for being on the planet?

When I wrote my book, CHAKRA POWER! How to Fire Up Your Energy Centers to Live a Fuller Life, I realized I was motivated by my passion to educate others so that they could feel happier, healthier, and more alive.  My definition of passion is described by feeling excitement in the pit of my stomach and allowing it to radiate outward so I can share it with the world.

SO: Your biggest passions for serving others, and how you’re expressing them (include hobbies, volunteering, if you wish)?

My belief system is based on being of service to others  so everything I do reflects that.   As a healing practioner, psychic-medium, and author, my purpose is to connect with others, put them at ease, and give them something that is easy to understand that can help make their life more fulfilling.   Whether it is through healing sessions, books, radio shows, workshops, speaking engagements, or the line of Charity Clarity Healing Jewelry I design, my path is defined by passion, good will, and optimism.

SO: Your biggest challenge(s) in expressing your passions for serving others and how you’ve addressed them?

I believe that passion is the driving force that cuts through any challenges that may arise.  Because of that, I feel that any challenge can be overcome so that goals and dreams can be realized.   I have taken many leaps starting new businesses, and trusting that working for myself is the best option for me.   Fear is not a factor when doing what you love to do.

SO: Your experience of “prosperity,” as you define it, in making the leap?

Ah, the key is TRUST.  Trust that every moment is perfect, that you are always taken care of, and that there is more than enough to go around for everybody.  Being in prosperity consciousness means that you know you will always have what you need, and manifesting becomes a fun game to play.

SO:  What’s the biggest lesson that you’ve learned in making the leap?

I have learned to act on my own intuition and trust how I feel about certain situations and opportunities. If it “feels” right, it usually is.  I have learned that if I am taking care of myself, those around me will be taken care of.  I have also learned that doing what you love to do feeds your soul on a daily basis.

SO: What’s your support system look like; how did you create it?

I am fortunate that I have a foundation of support from wonderful parents, friends, and my children, which has paved the way for me to want to be successful.  Currently, I am part of an excellent network of groups such as Association of Women Entrepreneurs, Women Moving Forward Mastermind Group, and Betty Ferguson Foundation to name a few.  I created my support system by being open to the opportunities that have come my way, and attracting like-minded people.  I have also become a fan of social networking and through Facebook and Twitter, I have found excellent sources of support professionally and personally.

SO: What wisdom do you have for someone who’s scared/discouraged about their own leap?

Ask yourself the question, “What would I do if I had no fear?”  That question can lead to many opportunities for change.  Fear can either paralyze or motivate.   My advice is to never put yourself in the position to ask, “What if?”

SO: What’s your next big milestone?

So many things are on the horizon!  Currently I co-host a Blog Talk Radio Show every Wednesday called Harriette Knight’s Psychic and Healing Hour.   My new book, EASY ART FROM THE HEART,  A Rhyming Guidebook for Parents and Teachers with 100+ Art Projects for Kids Ages 2 and Up was just released, and my next book will be a flip calendar of Harriette Knight’s Daily Healing Wisdom.

An Interview with Harriette Knight
Behind the Scenes of an Article Writing Campaign

November 3, 2009

Rebecca Kellogg of CMC/Creative Marketing Campaigns interviews Harriette Knight, an author who launched an article-marketing campaign on eHow.com to promote her book CHAKRA POWER! How to Fire Up Your Energy Centers to Live a Fuller Life.

The interview is below:

CMC: Were you were able to track data connected with the success of your article writing campaign?

Harriette Knight: I was able to track results by watching how many hits my website got per month and the numbers significantly increased with the more articles I wrote. This was linked to Facebook, Twitter, and eHow, but there is no denying, the hits started to escalate the minute I began writing the articles.

CMC: How did your article-writing campaign come about?

HK: As with most marketing campaigns, this one came about strictly by accident. I saw a posting on Facebook for an article someone had written for eHow.com and I clicked on it. Once there, I found a forum of How To Articles that could also generate some income.

At the time, I had just published my book CHAKRA POWER! How to Fire Up Your Energy Centers to Live a Fuller Life and part of me was missing the writing process, and part of me wanted to drive traffic to my website. Since I had a wealth of information to share, I began to write a frenzy of articles which were instantly published.

CMC: What was your initial goal? Did you meet it or modify it, or is this effort still in progress?

HK: My initial goal was to write 100 articles for eHow and publish a book of them, but after 57 articles my direction changed. I felt satisfied with the body of work and the recognition I sustained from doing it, and had no desire to continue. My marketing became more focused on my website, blog, radio interviews, workshops, and speaking engagements.

CMC: What did you hope to achieve? Greater exposure for your book? A certain amount of web traffic? Something concrete to share on social media?

HK: When I began to write the articles for eHow.com, I was simply excited to share the information I had and revel in the instant gratification of people reading the articles. However, what I quickly learned was that the number of hits on my website were radically increasing, and I was establishing more credibility as a writer.

Ehow.com is set up so that when an article is published, it is posted on Facebook, Twitter, and any of the other social media sites available, so the exposure became significant, and many of the readers began to follow my progress.

CMC: What kind of results and feedback did you get?

HK: I have to give eHow.com a lot of credit for their integrity and format. They have a huge member base, which is free, and the members are encouraged to rate and comment and recommend articles to other members. This creates a snowball effect for driving people to read your articles and ultimately to your website and other services. I noticed the numbers on my website increased significantly each month since beginning the article campaign.

CMC: What planning was required?

HK: In this case, there was no planning involved except the desire to drive more traffic to my website and tapping into my passion for writing.

In my opinion, using social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Digg, eHow, and others is necessary for any marketing campaign. Adding the articles on eHow proved to be a formidable asset to what I was already doing.

CMC: What did you learn from the experience?

HK: I learned that there are a lot of receptive people out there who want to know what someone else already knows. This has turned into a mutually supportive endeavor where the information is shared openly so others can succeed.

CMC: What was the most memorable thing about it for you?

HK: I believe that I am here to be of service to others, and the comments I have received from readers from my articles and/or book have reinforced that notion. Hearing the words, “Your article/book has changed my life,” has filled my heart in immeasurable ways. Knowing that my work is accessible all over the country and the world is greatly fulfilling.

CMC: Who do you think would benefit from launching a similar campaign?

HK: If anyone has something to share, they should share it, and writing articles for eHow is easy and fun. You can have mutual links from your own website driving traffic to your articles, and you can have a link from your article driving traffic to your website. Everything should be linked. Add lots of friends on your Facebook and eHow profiles, and comment on other people’s articles. This establishes relationships and trust which is imperative for selling yourself and your products. This is something that takes time and is nurtured over a period of months and years. It is not a quick fix, but a jump start to establishing credibility.

Within my first year of publishing my book, I have held workshops, numerous radio interviews, speaking engagements and a booksigning at Barnes and Noble. As a writer, having a booksigning has always been a dream, and my dream came true. Never give up on your dream. Do what you love. Success comes in many forms.
