Content Is King

0

Here is a recent post by my mentor Mr. Paul Evans of Nicheology

Content

Content makes the net go round! Content is the basis for all online communication. Unlike other forms of writing, it serves two purposes – to attract human readers and to attract search engines.

By using keywords and specific styles of writing, you can use content on your websites and blogs to increase your presence in your niche, sell products or make money through other monetization methods. You can even use content to drive traffic through article marketing and blogging.

Make no mistake about it content is KING!

What is it?

Content is all of the writing that is used to make money as an Internet marketer. You can use content on your blog to increase your presence in your niche and build a relationship with your audience. You can also use content on a mini-site or authority site to offer value to visitors. You can use content to create a product that you can sell from your blog or mini-site. You can also use content to drive traffic to your website.

What are three keys to doing it successfully?

1. Research.

Using a keyword research tool, you should find popular keywords for your topic before you create any content for your website. The content on your website should use keywords from your research so that your website ranks in the search engine results for those terms. Find keywords that relate to your niche but that have a minimum amount of competition. You’ll get better use out of your content that way.

2. Readers.

Unfortunately, a lot of marketers focus so much on the keywords that they forget that their content is supposed to be read by humans beings. Make your content interesting and fresh. Try to offer tips in your niche or highlight an often overlooked area of information. This will draw readers to your blog or website.

3. Repurposing.

You can get multiple uses out of the same piece of content. A blog post can be reworked and used as an article to be distributed to article directories. You can use part of the same blog post as an e-mail marketing message to your list. You can collect several blog posts together and create a special report.

Can you give me an example?

  • You do some keyword research in your niche and find a phrase that is popular with low competition.
  • You create a blog post using this phrase with lots of helpful content for your audience.
  • You then rework the blog post and create an article on the same topic.
  • You distribute the article to several article directories and get lots of new traffic back to your blog.
  • You can write a whole series of posts based on this particular phrase and similar phrases.

After several posts, you can create a report with all of the posts and give it away to build your list, or sell it.

Now that last line will be overlooked by the bast majority but I made several thousands in one day using that last tip.

Success is NOT an Accident,

Paul
