How To Create Awesome Content That Worth Reading

by imvbusiness · 45 comments

Content creation has become one of the most important aspects of Internet marketing.  The poor economy has fuelled people to out source their skills to support themselves and their families.

Unfortunately, not everyone in this market is successful.  Creating good content takes time and skill.

I will give you some strategies that I have used to help me improve my writing and making my content much higher quality.

The true quality of content is dependent upon who reads it.

It’s like school, ;)

You wrote an essay that you thought was A quality, but your teacher gave you a C.  Although you may have been young at the time, in reality, all written content has those who like it and those who don’t.

Create Awesome Content Worth Reading

How To Create Awesome Content That Worth Reading

Get In The Habit Of Reading

First of all, read.

read and read….

It important to read so that you can expose yourself to a variety of literary styles.  When you do not know the meaning of a word, look it up.  Get in the habit of learning five new words everyday.  Try to use them in your daily conversations.

You will be amazed at how you have expanded your vocabulary and communication by the end of a month.

Niche Research

Always perform extensive research on your niche before you begin writing.  Conceptualizing, along with brainstorming are two practices that are essential to good research.  It may sound obvious to do research, but many people do not understand its importance and do not put enough effort into it to create really great content.

Take time and do the work properly.  It will pay off when people fall in love with your writing.

Know Your Audience

Learn about who your audience is and what they need before you begin writing.

Writing for the wrong audience is utterly pointless.  If your audience is middle-aged adults and you write an article geared towards young adults, your article will not do well.

Reading books and newspapers will help you get versed in different writing styles and will help you effectively write for different audiences.

Create An Outline

Write an outline.  It will help you connect your ideas in an organized, sensible fashion.  All professional writers use outlines to guide them when writing content that is to be read by millions of people.  These techniques will help anyone with writing.

Use these techniques paired with your own creativity and you will Create Awesome Content Worth Reading.

Create Killer Title!

Your title is extremely important.

People who search for information online use a set of words that relate to titles.  You have to have these words in your title.

Browsers search for and read titles of content they find.  When the title includes the terms that browsers are searching for, they will click on the titles and read the content.  If you have a great article with a bad title, it will be overlooked.

Try to use concise and catchy titles.  The title should radiate the quintessential heart of your article to entice people to read more. Your title must facilitate grabbing the attention of browsers and getting them to click on your content.

Use A Resource Box

How To Create Awesome Content That Worth Reading
Resource boxes are major assets in your stash of marketing tools.  It is your online business card and it helps you enhance your networking capabilities.  It has multiple benefits.  You can include anything that is important in it, but keep it simple and relevant.  This will help increase traffic that is highly targeted.

Your resource box should have a short description of your skills and profession.  List major achievements that relate to the content you write about.  This will help your readers make connections with you and your ideas, as well as establish your credibility in your niche.

Do not write long biographies because your audience will get bored.  If you you’re your readers they will skip your resource box and it will be useless. Keep it short and sweet.

You can test different resource boxes for effectiveness.  Use quality feedback from your readers to make it better and get more people clicking through it.  A great resource box will have a higher click through rate and enhance your reputation.  If your resource box isn’t getting good results, adjust it until it does.

Final Words..

Quality content is subjective.  It requires being versed in many literary skills. 

Use good research and learn about your audience, use a catchy title and include a strong resource box.  These three strategies will help your article earn visibility and build your online reputation. 

Follow above tips to create awesome content. Your readers will surely love to read.

Right Atif. Yes a simple language/ simple writing can add up a lot especially for a newbie. Many pro-bloggers add up cloaking and stuffing which many a times start to fetch negative response from loyal readers.

I enjoyed going through these points.
The point on title is very important. That’s where people make up their minds to visit read your content or not. It’s important to pay more attention to it.

Thanks for this wonderful article Ivan.

One of my favorite is the Killer Title. This goes a very long way. Without killer title, no one will want to read the article!

Thanks Seun,

Another way to come up with titles, is to write the questions people might have in your niche. For instance instead of “Here’s how to make money online” a better title is “How I can make money online – 5 Tips” or “Dog training that work” instead try “How I can train my dog” I find a better open rate because when people read the title back to themselves, they actually asks themselves that question and therefore click through to find the answer …

Great Strategies Ivan. From first to last, this is something you can call a master plan.

I think you have to start reading after you research on the niche. Right?
Having a catchy title is also worth it. But have you forgot about the meat?
The main content is something you should give priority to. Put it first for the readers and then for the search engines. Optimize it less and make it easier for your readers to go through.
Thanks a lot :)

The meat or content is defintely important and you should always provide good content, however if your title cannot attact readers, no one will visit and your good content goes to waste … Never write for search engines, if you write a great article with a great title, people will find you and so will search engines !

Keyword selection is essential but I don’t put it as my top priority, with social media being so powerful, a good article can sometimes grab more traction on social platforms then on search engines.

Hi Ivan,

Nice Article. Actually i want to know one thing. Maximum number of writers concentrating only on same thing, i.e.., “Content is the King, Content is the King, Content is the King”. Why don’t you share your secrets of earning money through online. All are sharing the Fact. Fact is a fact, we already know about that. Better you can reveal your secrets. For Example: In this site, Our Ammar Ali, reveal the secrets of earning in “Make Money” http://allbloggingtips.com/make-money-online/. That kind of article will really help the people who is struggling to earn money from online like me. Hi Ivan, Am expecting you to reveal the secrets to earn money from online. Better we will meet in your next posting. Thanks for your worthy information.

I like to create quality content by researching the niche or website a lot, and then writing about it in a friendly tone so that anyone can get interested.

Good content will never fail you. If you are open to guest writers, you should have a page describing what they should follow – like preferably 60 characters long title with at least one keyword in it, short paragraphs. They also should have sub-titles inside the post so the reader can read it more easily.

Hi,

Definitely content is the most important part of my blog. I’m don’t think I’ve posted more than 5 posts a month since I started my blog but instead I try to write my posts as detailed as possible.

Great content will always get shared and linked to by other people. Ofcourse when I started writing my content was awful but with time and practice eventually I got better with each blog post I published.

Great tips my man.Cheers.

Content is the thing everyone is creating but only a handful of them get a way with it and others can’t do anything. If a content has the below three things it is worth reading:
1. Quality.
2. Well Crafted.
3. Written solely for readers not for bots.

Thanks for the awesome share.
