Content Creation Tips: How to Make it Go Viral

Content will never lose its crown as the King. Believe it or not, you can not underestimate the worth of Content Marketing, especially now that Google released Search Quality Evaluator Guidelines. This goes to show that Google is serious about rewarding quality content and punishing low quality ones.

So, how can you make the most out of your content? The key here is simple; it’s the quality that counts, and not the quantity. Follow these tips to guarantee yourself a successful and winning content.

Provide Value

Most (SEO) content writers tend to forget the essence of their job and instead focus on just inserting the keyword. This kind of mentality and practice will surely lead your content to waste. Always think of how you can provide information to your target audience. Know what they are looking for, their interest and provide valuable content that is shareable. Don’t just write for the sake of writing.

Be Original

Article spinning, rephrasing and duplicate content are the surest ways to get your website penalized. If you think you can outsmart Google by using synonyms, well, better think again. You can get sources, but always inject a twist, additional information, or at least give it a new tone. SEO writers are not expert in all fields but through continuous reading, they can provide fresh, valuable and original content worth reading.

Write Strong Headline

Titles are supposedly catchy and direct. Be witty and creative in crafting a headline for your article. You don’t have to sound too serious to ensure your readers that your article is worth reading. The more intriguing it is, the more likely it’ll be clicked, and if you’re fortunate enough, be shared in different social media platforms.

Check.Edit.Publish

We all have flaws, and even the most famous author has his/her own editor. Let’s admit it, we are all guilty of consistency. It’s not enough to be confident about your writing skills. Be humble enough to ask for second look, to ensure that the thought and the words are flowing smoothly and organized. Think before you hit the ‘Publish’ button. Keep in mind that people remember the tiniest mistake, so don’t let it tarnish your reputation.

KISS

Keep it Simple, Stupid. Is this really that hard to comprehend and instill in mind? A good article doesn’t rely on hifalutin words and figurative language/phrases. You have to be creative but don’t overdo it, not unless your goal is to irritate your audience. Never aim to sound scholarly because you are not writing a thesis paper or a case study here. Aim to produce a content that is readable.
