5 Ways To Produce Better Content
When I first started blogging I thought I knew how to produce content for my blog and for the most part, I did. However, if you take a look at some of my early content on the Puppy In Training blog you’ll find it somewhat difficult to read. Here are a few examples:
While the content may be good (that’s up to the reader and a very subjective question…I hope at least some people like my content), here are my suggestions to improve my older articles.
Creating Good Content - The Basics
Take a look at the article to the right. You can get to the full article by going to Halloween, OCGDA, And CCI.
Here are a few simple hints to help improve upon this short article:
- Better title- Think about the keywords you’re trying to market to and make sure they show up in your title. Try to keep your titles 5-7 words (I have a hard time doing this).
- Use Bold And Italics - Use bold and italics with any words you’re trying to emphasize. This helps people and search engines find the important words.
- Keywords in first and last sentence - Try to get your keywords in the first and last sentence or at least first and last paragraphs of your article.
- Use Headlines - Use headlines to break up your content. I generally use the H2 tag for my headlines within my content.
- Use Paragraphs - Use paragraphs to break up your content.
That’s it! Those are a few basic strategies on how to improve your content.
