Content is important for SEO and it is the single best way to attract the attention of customers and keep them engaged. But how are you supposed to create fresh and interesting content when there is so much work to do?

In the constantly changing world, creating quality content is not as easy as you may think. But as challenging as writing content is, it is possible to develop some interesting blog posts, social media posts, videos, and infographics that interest your target audience and drive more traffic.

In fact, you don’t have to be a renowned expert in your field to create good content.

While word count remains a secondary part when creating valuable content, there are a few tricks that will help you create killer content that will rock your audience.

  • Stop writing to impress

When you are trying to talk to your audience, what sort of words do you use? Are you the type that tries to impress with academic jargon? Or do you use complicated words to drive the point home?

If you want your visitors to keep coming back to your website, try to write in a conversational way and make your content more specific. A conversational tone will make the readers feel like you are addressing them in person. Write to engage and help.

  • Ask questions to engage the audience

If you don’t ask questions in your writing, it’s time to start. For instance, research has shown that asking questions in tweets can boost your influence and get more than doubt the clicks.

A question makes the reader think and when they agree with what you are saying, it’s a sign that your question is more persuasive.

  • Share Insights in your field

Creative leader shares unique perspective on things that affect their business. Look for areas where you can share insights with your readers. A brief explanation of tips and tricks on a certain topic will establish your brand as a person worth listening to. Furthermore, your audience wants to know what you think about a certain topic.

  • Write reviews

As a leader, you are most likely aware of the best apps, services, and resources that can help you and your audience grow a business. Write a short review (about 500 words or more) and share your findings with your audience. This review allows you to share some tips, benefits, advice, weakness, and recommendations.

Once in a while, shoot a quick video review and share them on other sites such as Amazon where there is a wider audience.

  • Share topics related to your content

If your audience doesn’t find a good reason to share your content, definitely it will hang around your site for a long time. But, you can create content that adds value to the reader’s life and content that compel them to act, whether to seek more information on your website or share them with their friends.

Once you create content that lines up with the values of the audience, or one that offers some guideline on how to do something with little effort, time, or money, they will feel comfortable sharing your content.

  • Post video interviews

Video sharing is considered the fastest growing trend, especially in content sharing. But finding the right content for the video can be a bit of a struggle. Interviews are the fast and easiest way of getting the information you want out there. A small clip of someone sharing their thoughts on a certain topic can attract a huge audience.

If an interview is hard to do, go for a traditional written interview like those in magazines where you run a series of questions to ask every person and publish their answers. Readers will always be eager to know the answer and gain some insights from the leaders.

  • Use short sentences

In most cases, long sentences are boring to read since the reader may lose track in the course of reading. Further, they may fail to understand the point you want to communicate.

To make the content more readable and interesting, chop up the long sentences to short ones. Also, write with clarity, and ensure the content is persuasive.

Conclusion

Finding great ideas to write good content that compels the reader to share doesn’t have to earn you sleepless nights. None of these ideas will force anyone to do what they don’t want. In fact, the desired action has to come from the reader’s best interest but you have to do your part too. These tips will make the process easier.

The simple truth is, your content may very well be the next best since sliced bread, but if you don’t have a strong headline that will get the readers to click on it and read the rest, you don’t really have anything. Yes, you have the finished article into which you have put your heart and soul, but if the end result is almost exactly the same as not having written anything at all, what’s the difference?

Why Are Headlines Such a Big Deal?

Now, this number varies from place to place, but on average, about 80% of the people will only read the headline, while the rest will take their time and read the actual content behind it. That is why a headline to your article is like a window to your shop. You don’t just want people to take a look at it and keep on walking. You want them to stop, peer through the glass to see what’s inside, and ultimately, come inside the store.

It’s a tough time to be a writer if you’re also a high school student (the latter two years of which are also known as junior college in India).

Your academic workload is high, regardless of your choice of specialisation.

Also, as a writer, you’re just starting out. You have no experience. You have potential, but you haven’t attained all the skills yet. You would like to get interested in academic writing, or creative writing, or content writing… but then you can’t decide which field to pursue. Should you pursue creative writing as your main field of writing, or should you look instead at content writing?

Even after you have decided the answers to these questions it’s not over yet. You decide to learn how to write well by gaining information from sources on the Web. A decision made with good intent, but filled with pitfalls. It’s because advice on the Web is often contradictory, confusing or at times not helpful for a particular use case.

Take for example the question of whether to write every day or not. Conventional writing advice for beginners recommends that you write every day. But new advice says that you should write regularly, but it’s not necessary to write everyday. What to believe?

Teen writers in high-school often get discouraged by seeing what a long way there is to climb in the world of writing. According to them, they can’t handle the combined workload of school / college, writing and extracurricular activities.

Writing can seem liberating at first. You sit down at your computer, smuggle your coffee beside your writing materials, and begin the session with an enthusiastic mind.

You are charged. You can pump out a thousand words in 30 minutes. You’re thinking about how those words will change the world, how your readers will be engulfed in the emotion you want them to be in, and how they’ll swiftly take to the internet to write you an email.

But suddenly, the thoughts are all gone. Your fingers type words but delete them almost as fast as they came. Writing that scene in your novel now becomes something only a genius can do. Where did all that enthusiasm go? Where did the thoughts go?

And the worst part, you are sure it’s not writer’s block, because not that you only write, it’s not just coming from your heart.

“Oh God. I know what to say, but not how.”
