Content creation can be somewhat overwhelming at the best of times. There are so many different vehicles to use and a variety of social channels to distribute on. However, you need to make sure you don´t get lost in the whirlwind of tools, tactics and strategies. I came across an interesting infographic by WebSearch SEO on the Business2Community website and thought I´d share some of their tips to help you achieve maximum results:
Grab your readers´ attention
Don´t get so wrapped up in the body of your content that you forget to write a catchy headline and introduction. After all, around 90% of your audience will be won over by the headline/intro alone.
Be inspired
Having a dry spell? New and interesting perspectives can be found in the brains of others. Here in our office, we like to call it an ´idea shower´!
Break it down
Don´t make your audience sift through paragraphs of text to find the information they´re looking for; keep it concise and break it down into easily-digestible, bite-sized chunks.
Be relevant
Show your audience that you are up-to-date by keeping your finger on the pulse and presenting them with news-worthy content, before it goes stale.
Don´t oversell
If you´re constantly blowing your own trumpet, your content will lose its value and your audience will interpret it as a blatant sales pitch.
Keep it conversational
Depending on your sector, overly-formal English will be a big turn-off for your audience; they will soon feel like they are being lectured as opposed to informed. Keep the tone appropriately friendly.
Leave it to the experts
