Top 5 Content Writing Tips For 2022

Content is key, and great content requires time and effort or a healthy marketing budget. And while some websites focus solely on SEO and keyword-stuffing, successful websites recognise that great content is more important. You can generate leads by using the right keywords, but you can't ignore the quality of your content as a result. Keywords may draw visitors in, but your bounce rate will drop, the comments will slate you, your brand will suffer, and you're not going to go viral.
 

1. Keyword Research

The right keywords are important so be sure to research what your target audience is looking for. You can see what search terms they use most commonly and work that into your content. Use Google's Keyword Planner to check on your competitors' keyword rankings.
 

1. Know Your Audience

Who are you trying to reach with your content? You need to know that before you can create great content people want to read. If you know who they are you can learn what they're looking for and serve them the content they want.
 

1. Readable Content

You're creating content for a website not writing medical journals, you don't need to overcomplicate things. Keep things simple and readable. Yoast provides an excellent readability tool you can use to check your content. Opt for simple words, active voice, short sentences, and short paragraphs.
 

1. Cite Your Source

Research is an important part of content creation, but be sure to cite your sources. You might not want to direct readers to another website, but use an authority site to avoid linking competitors and increase your site's rank-ability.
 

1. CTA

Always end with a Call To Action. But you need to know what action you'd like your readers to take before you can ask them to take that action. Always put yourself in the reader's position to consider whether you have a winning CTA to end your content with.
