T
he content on your website
should inform, educate and
engage your prospects while
developing your authority with
your audience. Also, when you
post new online content it attracts
the search engine crawlers. The
more pages of a website those
crawlers index the more traffic
they can bring to your website.
Here are 10 ways you can create good
website content.
- IDENTIFYYOUR ‘WHY’.
Each piece of content you post on your
website must have a reason for being
there. If you don’t know what the point is,
it’ll be hard to get anyone to take action.
- UNDERSTANDYOUR
AUDIENCE.
When you produce any content it’s
crucial that you know who you’re creating
it for. Try developing an audience avatar
and write the content for that one person
rather than creating it for a unidentified
person that you don’t know. This can help
you develop very personalised content that
gets results.
- STAY UPDATED.
You may think that you know your
niche but things change over time as tech-
nology improves and styles change. Keep
up to date in your industry so that you’re
ready for changes that may occur.
- KEEPAN EYEONYOUR
COMPETITION.
Join your competitor’s mailing lists,
and look at the content they’re sending
out. Can you identify if it’s working well
for them or not? How can you do it better?
- KNOW THE BUYING
PROCESS.
There’s a set buying process that your
audience will go through, even if they
don’t realise it. It’s important to recognize
where people are in the buying process.
Generally it’s a five stage process:
- Awareness
- Information Search
- Evaluation
- Decision
- Purchase
- Plus, after purchase your customer
will decide if they will buy from you
again.
- IMPROVEYOUR
STRATEGY.
Take the time to work on improving
your strategy to make it work better. Base
this on the information and facts you have
about your customers, your niche, your
products and your customer’s buying
process.
- BECONSISTENT.
To ensure that the content on your
website will get results, it’s important to
post content on a consistent basis. - PROMOTEYOUR
CONTENT.
If you don’t let people know that your
content is out there, you’ll get a lot less
positive results from it. Post it to your
social media sites and email it out to your
subscriber list. You can even promote it via
pay-per-click ads.
- CREATE ENGAGING
CONTENT.
No one wants to consume boring con-
tent. Ensure that the content matches the
needs of your audience, speaks to them on
their terms and provides value in and of
itself to your audience.
- MIX ITUP.
The more variety that you provide to
your audience, the more engagement you
will get. Don’t limit your website content
to just text. Content can be read, watched
and listened to. It can be an article, a blog
post, a report, an eBook, an online course,
an audio file or a video.
