Should you create content or curate content

Amrit — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 14:21:44 +0000

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.

Why content marketing is important for your business

Content marketing for your online business is an integral part of your overall marketing effort. If you believe that the content on your website or blog is one of your primary strengths, you need to make people aware of its existence. If you're already a known brand, this might not be a problem, but if you are in the process of creating your online presence through your content, then content marketing is unavoidable.

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.

When creating content, focus on value and not the length

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.

How much content does your customer need to read before doing business with you

You should devise your content strategy after carefully observing the dynamics of your visitors, in practical as well as hypothetical sense. Does your product or service require your prospective customers and clients to be formally educated before they purchase it? Are you selling a well-known brand or a lesser-known brand? Do your prospective customers or clients need to be thoroughly convinced before they even think of doing business with you? All these factors must be taken into account to decide how much content your website actually requires in order to improve your conversion rate.

Content that is not optimized does not add value to your marketing

For an effective content marketing strategy it is very crucial that you optimize your content both for search engines and social media websites. Simply publishing great and relevant content doesn't help you much unless people are made aware of your content. They must visit your website and consume your content and only then your content marketing efforts will reap fruits.

Creating productive content

Rather than getting into a content generation binge (unless you have a big team of highly talented and focused content writers) you should focus on creating effective and productive content for your website or blog. Remember that the primary purpose of publishing content on your website is to keep your visitors well-informed, educated and engaged so that when they really want something that you have to offer, they remember that you offer it and you offer it well.

Why your website needs unique content

Even if you think that your visitors will never find out that you are simply copying/pasting content from other sources the search engine algorithms will immediately notice.

Every business that aspires to leverage the potential of content marketing needs a well-defined strategy in order to produce and promote targeted content. Content marketing strategy involves thoroughly understanding what your audience wants and then provided on a regular basis. You also need to identify places where you can promote your content. It is a well-orchestrated marketing activity that can give you high returns at significantly lower costs. Once in place your content goes on bringing you more and more business.

The connection between content, strategy and social media

There is a direct relation between content, strategy and your social media presence. All three are driving each other to give you optimal results provided you can create a harmonious relationship between them. Content strategy comes first because this is the foundation of your online presence. Without a content strategy you create a directionless content and this creates a blurry social media presence for you, for your business and for your brand. Once you have a strategy in place you have a solid grounding underneath.

Your well-defined content gives you a recognizable presence on social media. People recognize you by the thoughts you share through your content. Since consistency is a must therefore a need for strategic publishing.
