Well, we’ve finally reached our final destination in our four part series on building content—if you’ve been reading from the very beginning, congratulations for sticking with us here on the WSpider blog all the way down the path! (and if not, please feel free to skip back a few posts in the archive to catch up on the building content series from the start).
We now know the overview of how each type of web content plays an integral part of the website puzzle, but we still need to discuss how to actually come up with good ideas for developing content. It’s not always incredibly easy at first—especially for beginner writers out there. The key is to start off with a plan in mind, rather than just trying to attack and complete an article while staring at a totally blank page.
What’s The Insider’s Secret?
Here goes...building content is much easier when you know what type of article you’re going to write. It really is that easy! After all, you already know the topic. You already know the products and service you represent—it’s all a matter of coming up with a plan to put it in words.
Here Are A Few Of Our Favorite Types Of Articles...
The List Article – By covering your content with a series of bullet point snippets—whether numbered or not, you’ll make writing easy on yourself while really giving visitors something they like to see as well.
Question & Answer Article – If you’re having trouble coming up with ideas about how to cover a subject, why not start with a question? By thinking about questions that you get asked frequently about your product or service, you can easily write for pages at a time just by providing expert answers in your own words.
Facts & Figures Article – Just the plain facts, just the basic facts...well, not so much, unless you want to send your visitors to the back button in a blink of an eye. However, you can build upon the facts and stats by putting them in easy-to-understand words. Doing this works really well!
The Story – Are you a natural storyteller? Maybe you are, or maybe your friends just accuse you of this, but either way, you’ve got to use this gift to your best advantage while creating website content!
The How-To Article – Visitors to your website are very often looking for specific, detailed advice. If you can cover your content’s topic with a practical and helpful step-by-step “How-To” style article, you’ll be providing visitors and search engines with a fantastic reason to read your site’s message.
Or maybe, after giving it a few honest tries, you’ve just decided that writing for the web just isn’t your thing at all—regardless of the situation, please remember that WSpider is here to help with all of your web development and optimization needs! We’re always here to help or just to answer any questions you might have.
We wish you the very best as you begin the all-important web content development process.
