Are you Archiving those Hot Summer Ideas?
Everyone knows something special about summertime activities. Maybe you’re King of the Grill, with a marinading repertoire big enough to fill a cookbook. Or perhaps you’re the Princess of Pool Parties, with all the hot details about staying cool. Maybe you’re a Master Gardener, and could teach me a thing or two about keeping my annuals alive in the heat. No matter what you’re up to this summer, there’s someone out there who wants to learn from you, and there’s no time like now to make notes.
Every day is an opportunity to put what you do and what you know into a lens. What you think is normal may be totally new to someone else.
Here’s a short list of ideas for hot summer lenses:
- what to pack for the pool
- water-friendly baby needs
- finding the perfect patio furniture
- how to grill vegetables
- top ten grill accessories
- staying cool in hot dry/humid weather
- heat illness and water related first aid
- keeping your pets cool
- summer safety for seniors

While its true that the real reward won’t come until next year, when a new season causes a summer searching surge, the here and now is where all your best ideas, photos, and tips will come from. (Of course, just as it cools off up north, the southern hemisphere is getting ready to break out their bikinis.) And when the occasional thunderstorm hits, there’s nothing more fun and rewarding than sitting down for a family lensbuilding activity. You’ll be earning income for your next family vacation, and teaching your kids valuable internet skills.
(For those of you in the southern hemisphere, do the same for winter. Track your tips and travels now and take advantage of some SEO lead time.)
Enjoy your summer!
