- 2. Tell a story Stories are a great way to hook your reader, weâve all had fairy tales and other great stories either read to us, or played on a cd player or even watched great fairy tales at a Disney film in the cinema. They hook you in, and once you hook your readers in, theyâre in the palm of your hand. But itâs got to be good.
- 3. Use the words âyouâ and âIâ Using these words within your content will create a feeling of a conversation between you and your readers, which will keep them engaged longer. The more you focus on us and we, you will lose the readerâs attention. Your content should allow the reader to ignite their passion
- 4. Get to the point No one likes reading fluff. The quicker you get to the point, the better it is for you.
- 5. Back up your advice Statistics are everything. If you canât back up your data, no one will take you seriously. Even big companies use small stats, ever seen a shampoo advert? 90% out of 50 people agreed their hair was better off using LâOreal! So even small stats count, and if you donât have any use credible sources. Run a survey if you need to!
- 6. Use instructional videos and images Leverage your time, using images or videos that help guide people through the steps to a certain outcome, this will put you in the position of problem solver, ultimately the expert or the go to person and possibly a sale.
- 7. Give readers more At the end of your article, consider offering additional resources or guides. For example, having a downloadable PDF, presentation or a checklist will help increase the value of your content.
- 8. Solve your customersâ problems Even if a problem is not related to your product, solving it through content will increase the likelihood of your readers coming back and possibly them becoming a customer.
- 9. Test content Donât rely on text alone, as humans we communicate online through Visual(What you see), Auditory(Audio, what you listen to) and Kinaesthetic(How something makes your feel) modalities. Test; Podcasts (mp3 audio), Videoâs (Face to camera and screen captures), Presentations and Info-graphics. Now you can measure, which get the most response with regard to shares and lead generation.
- 10. Turn your text into visuals B2B content typically has a lot of statistics and data. Consider using infographics instead of text for data-rich posts. A great way to engage people visually and less demanding on their eye for detail.
- 11. Take action Its pointless reading this stuff and not taking action, you visited this page and read this list for a reason, âTo increase website trafficâ so that you can increase sales right? Yes⌠Then go do it.
- 12. Conclusion So youâre now in a position to action this checklist, short and simple to follow, thatâs what I intended. Of course there will be lots more points you can do but the key aim here is for you to take action and not for me to overload you in your busy day.
