How to create content to engage your prospects

Amrit — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 16:44:43 +0000

The primary purpose of your content is engaging your prospects and you can engage your prospects only when you offer them something really, genuinely valuable through your content. It must hold some meaning. When they have consumed your content they shouldn't feel as if they could have better spent that time doing something else.

Should you create content or curate content

You can strike a perfect balance between content creation and content curation by focusing on value rather than quantity. When publishing content on your website, whether you are creating it or linking to it you need to focus on what value it is providing to your visitors.

What makes your content click

Your content clicks when it achieves what you want it to achieve. When you're executing your content strategy you must have some well-defined goals laid out before you. Where do you want to begin, in what direction you want to go and eventually what you want to achieve? What audience you want to cater to? What sort of problems want to solve? How do you want to be known among your audience (visitors/customers/prospective customers)? Then you start publishing and marketing your content accordingly.

Difference between content writing and content curation

Amrit — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 14:03:34 +0000

Both creating new content and publishing it and curating existing content (sourced from various blogs and websites) can be beneficial to your overall content marketing strategy. When you publish content – whether original orl curated – you want to provide value to your visitors and make them aware of what you can deliver. By curating content you do great service to your visitors because you accumulate great knowledge at a single point. But this doesn't mean you constantly curate content and never generate original content. Publishing original content is a must if you want to establish yourself as an authority and increase your brand loyalty. Whereas curating content is a good way of providing lots of information in a quick manner you will be mostly sending people away from your website. Original content keeps them hooked onto your own website or blog.

How to fire up your web content strategy

Content strategy is a lot more than simply publishing content on a regular basis. No matter how wonderful your content is and no matter how useful it is, unless people are really getting to access it and unless it is really making an impact, it is waste of time. A well-defined content strategy means you know exactly what you're trying to achieve through your content. It can be anything like generating more search engine traffic, educating your visitors, publishing news updates regarding your website, et cetera. Define the purpose, and work towards it.

Something to keep in mind when it comes to paying your content writer

Amrit — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 21:15:44 +0000

If you have doubts regarding how much you should pay your content writer, I would like to say, think, what value you derive out of his or her content. After all, you are going to run your entire online business on the strength of the content you have on your homepage and elsewhere. Your business content is more important than your website layout and you will realize this if you somehow manage to stay on despite shoddy content. Most of the online small businesses don't survive because they don't have quality content on their websites.

When creating content, focus on value and not the length

Amrit — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 20:40:53 +0000

While creating content for your website or blog more than its length (quantity) focus on the value it delivers because that's what eventually matters. Remember that your content is not remembered for the number of words it has, but for the purpose it achieves. If it only goes on and on without saying something significant, they quickly lose interest and go away, probably never to come back. So focus on quality, focus on value and don't bother much about how many words your particular pages or blog posts have.

Creating content for Twitter and Facebook

Creating content for Twitter and Facebook means creating bridges between you profiles over there and your primary content on your blog or website. Most companies use Twitter and Facebook to disseminate their content but there is a lot more to it. You create content for Twitter and Facebook to initiate interactions and exchanges between you and your customers/clients. It must be used to expand your circle of influence.

Researching the right keywords for your content

Researching the right keywords and key phrases for your content can save you lots of long-term time because if you have to change your keywords after generating scores of, or maybe 100s of pages and blog posts, it might require lots of time and effort. Researching keywords before writing content might look like an uphill task but once you make it a part of your overall content marketing procedure it won't seem to be like an exercise holding you back from generating great content.
