The 6 Most Effective Ways to Create Good Content

Content is important to any good online marketing strategy. It is what drives traffic while also providing an opportunity for you to fully engage with your target audience. Creating good content though takes time and practice. It also may require you to employ a few simple strategies in order to succeed.

Here are six ways you can create better content:

1. Start with a Great Title – A quality piece begins with a great title. It is the one aspect necessary to draw people into reading your post. It needs to make them curious enough to read more. Brainstorm your titles to get a jumpstart on creating newsworthy content.

2. Try Something New – Don’t give your audience content in the same form every time. The standard number lists can quickly get boring and stale. Expand your skill set and try something new. This could be a guest blog post, an infographic or even a video.

3. Practice Relevancy – Today’s content isn’t just shared on one type of platform. It is shared across a multitude of sites including social media, blogs and websites. Make sure your message is interesting and relevant to the different audiences you cater to.

4. Enlist the Help of Others – Receiving feedback from others can be an invaluable tool in the content race. It provides that critical outside perspective that keeps you from straying too far from what your readers want to see. Ask a colleague or even a current reader for their two cents in the quality of your content.

5. Form an Emotional Connection – Content that grabs the most attention is one that forms an emotional connection with the reader. It could be relatable, solve a problem or just plain be interesting. The key is to make something that hits a chord with people from all walks of life.

6. Offer More than Just Fluff – Being informative is one of the best ways to capture your audience’s attention. Providing more than just the standard “fluff” pieces can draw them in and keep them coming back for more.

    Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

    We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
