Content Creation
You have to be strategic about the kind of content you create. What we mean is that your content must meet a specific need.
Think about your audience and what they are interested in then create content that covers those needs. The content you create should be the kind that people want to share and link to.
Such content carries the following characteristics:
- It’s evergreen. Think of content that lives or remains relevant forever.
- Content with compelling headlines: whenever you wrote a headline for your content, ask yourself if you consider that headline kickass or not. Great content behind a bland headline will die a fast death. You might want to experiment with headlines.
- Create viral content: even if the spike in traffic crashes your site for a few minutes, creating great viral content should be your target. Viral content is not only interesting but relevant and timely. Keep in mind that the viral nature of your content starts from the headline. Make your headline a click magnet and try as much as possible to use emotive words.
- You might also want to create a newsletter to showcase your best posts.
SEO, Keyword Research and using the Right Keywords
Creating a marketing plan that works goes back to search engine optimization and the proper use of the right/ target keywords.
With Google search as a great way for you to grow your audience, you need to incorporate the best keywords to boost traffic to your blog and blog posts.
Keyword research should be done using keyword research tools. The top tools include Google Keyword Planner, KWFinder, SEMRush, and Moz’s Keyword Planner, among others.
Once you find the right keywords, make sure you use the keyword in the right context (your text’s), avoid keyword stuffing, and don’t put keywords ahead of a user’s experience.
Incorporation of long-tail keywords is also essential to your blog. In case you are wondering, a long-tail keyword refers to a search phrase with at least 3 keywords.
The long-tail keywords are easy to target, and if you are using PPC advertising, they are cheaper given the fact that there is little competition for the long-tail keywords.
Also on optimization is the element of linking.
You should not include too many links, although you should link to other related blogs on specific topics/ blogs within your niche.
Don’t forget to make use of SEO plugins in WordPress.
