Semalt Secrets To Writing Better 



The contents of any website determine a large portion of the website itself. Bad content translates to a bad website, and good content means good websites. Although other factors must be considered, it is fair to say that a website with no content is no website.

With new things happening every day, some websites may need to be up and doing when publishing quality content on time to their readers.

Imagine being a new website or a blog website that discusses daily happenings, such websites need to publish one or multiple contents every day, and these contents must be top quality and helpful. So how do they do it?

How to create web contents faster and better

If you are developing content that you want to use in promoting your brand or business, you need a well thought out strategy. This is very useful if you plan on having this content as part of your sales funnel. 

Without the right strategy, you're failing to plan, and those who fail to plan…

Figuring out how to create the perfect content can be time-consuming; other tactics concern your web content, which you will find very useful.

9 Secretes to creating better content 

Pick the right source for your website blogging ideas

It is no trick that having a blog for your website or company is a great idea. If you do not have one, you're missing out on a great opportunity to increase your online presence as well as engage with your audience. Both of which are great SEO tactics. As a blog owner, finding the right topics aren't always easy, so it's common to have issues in figuring out what topic to discuss.

Here, we will be showing you four things that can help you develop a better blog and content topics of interest to your target audience.

1. Interview your audience: 

A hands-on approach is one of the best ways to learn about what your audience expects from you. By sitting in a room and interviewing them, you have a clearer picture of what is expected of you. Dedicate some time to reach out to your audience and ask them questions like, "what would you like to read about on my website?"

This saves you a lot of time and effort because you can take a tally and see what interests your readers the most. This is a method to keep your already existing clients and to convert new ones.

2. Use Quora

For years, we have relied on Quora as a great source of information. We get to ask questions as well as give answers to questions. What many people don't realize is that Quora is one of the greatest sources of topics. Like in an election, the higher the number of votes, the more a candidate is preferred. Likewise, on Quora, the number of views on a question and answers, the more interested people are about that issue. This means Quora is a gold mine; you need to find the niche you're interested in and the most discussed questions in them. From there, you can generate topics that get you ranked on SERP.

3. Consider Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

At Semalt, we believe that FAQs are one of the most important parts of a website. We advise that every website should have one. The benefits of FAQ pages are far more than you may assume. By creating a FAQ page, you do not only help your customers, your SEO performance, but you have also made a list of potential content.

You may be wondering how this makes any sense. Well, put yourself in your customers' shoes and look at your products and services. Consider the information provided and think to yourself if that would be all the information you need to hire such a website.

What details would you like to read about the business as a customer? What are the problems that the website could solve?

These are valid questions that answers will be provided in the FAQ. Alongside these questions, you will find other questions that give great article topics that you can use. Remember that your FAQ can also improve your user experience.

By updating your FAQ regularly, you can also find new topics to produce content for the website.

4. Repurpose old contents or blog posts

There are certain conditions when content is old but not useless. In such cases, you do not delete the content; instead, you repurpose it. Doing this is very easy, and some consider it a "dirty" way to rank better. Either way, it is a great way to keep your content alive and get traffic to your website.

For example, you have a top-performing blog post, but you want to make it a web content because of how great it is doing. Well, all you have to do is add more insightful information and publish it as content.

Even though the web content wasn't considered obsolete, adding more information to it makes it more insightful, and you stand a chance to rank better. For example, its flu season, and you are a telemedicine practitioner. You have a website as well as a blog. During the flu season, you had a blog post on how to avoid the flu and take care of patients who have it. After publishing, this post brought back tons of clicks, and since it's relevant in your industry, you refurbish it to make it more helpful. This saves you the stress of developing a whole new page. When you do this, you need to mention at the beginning of the blog post that it has been updated.

5. Google search console

Developing good writing habits

8. Keep your contents conversational

You may brush off this secrete because it may seem obvious, but writing in a conversational way is a great way to develop fast and engaging content.

If you want to stop people from bouncing off your web pages, go straight to the point. This will save you and your readers valuable time.

9. Create an outline before you write

Writing is a beautiful art. Many times, we lose ourselves in writing, and we can steer off course many times. This may not be intentional, but it is also time-consuming. To avoid drifting, it is wise you create an outline, a skeleton, or frame which carries your content. This is simple and needed. We never dive into writing; once our client approves a topic, we do research and take notes on the message our clients want to convey to construct the perfect article. We jot down key points, subtopics, and questions that play a pivotal role in educating the end readers.

Our outline contains phrases and sources of information we've found that are vital to our primary objectives. We also pen down areas where we feel having visual aids would be beneficial. These things give us a vivid image of what we want our end article to look like, and then we can work towards it.
