Best tips to realize if your posts worth to gets up-vote

 

All STEEMERS have a common goal – and that’s to create the type of content that gets UP-VOTE endlessly. 

But what exactly makes content worth up-voting and how can you make yours more likely to go viral?

Take a look at the tips below to ensure you’re creating the type of  content that can catapult your brand into the online – and offline –  spotlight.

Determine Your Content’s Value

Does your content teach your audience something? Does it really,  though? If I’ve put even a speck of doubt in your mind, it’s time to go  back through some of your old blog posts and read them thoroughly. Ask  yourself these questions while doing so:

1.  Have I conveyed my message clearly?

2. Do I not only sound like a thought leader in my  industry but also back up my statements with facts, how-to examples, or  clear explanations?

3. What will my readers learn or take away from this post?

Basically, what you want to stay away from is writing ‘fluff’ pieces  that your readers won’t even consider sharing. You know, the type of  blog posts that make you think, “Well, that was a complete waste of  time.” You can avoid this by making sure your blog posts don’t just tell  people why they should do something, but show them how to make it  happen.

For example, if you’re not an expert on a certain subject, why not  find someone in your industry who is? This way you can interview them to  get an authority’s opinion on the subject while creating a much more  in-depth and valuable blog post for your readers.

Don’t have enough time to contact anyone personally? You can find  countless reputable sources online to quote from that’ll add credibility  to your blogs and provide a great platform for your readers to learn  (and share) from.

Is Your Marketing Hurting Your Marketing?

 As Tom Fishburne of the Marketoonist says, “The best marketing  doesn’t feel like marketing.” With that quote in mind, think about the  past content you’ve created. Do you talk about your brands or products  constantly? If your content sounds like a sales pitch from beginning to  end, you’re pretty much guaranteed it’s not going to get many shares.

So how do you create the type of content that’s worth sharing? Sam  Scholfield for StuffedWeb suggests you focus on the following elements:

1. Relevant Topics: Write about the problems your readers are facing and the topics they want answers to.

2. Educational Content: Provide detailed instruction on a topic to show your readers how to complete a task or learn something new.

3. Easy to Consume: Make sure your content is easy  to read with short paragraphs, subheadings to break up the content, and  images to support it.

4. Prompt Conversation: Always finish your blog post  or article by asking a question about the topic and encouraging your  readers to comment.

Take Content Risks – If You Dare 

The great thing about taking risks with your content is that it can  be executed to a variety of different degrees to fit within the confines  of your brand.

For example, if you’re a more conservative brand, you already know  that inappropriate language and risqué images aren’t going to go over  well with your readers.

That doesn’t mean you can’t still spice things up a little, however.  Using edgier — even provocative — headlines is a great way for you to  test out what works and what doesn’t with your target audience. Note:  Being offensive is different than being edgy, so tread the line with  caution.

For example, instead of using this headline: ‘3 Biggest Marketing  Mistakes,’ you might opt for this headline: ‘Why Your Marketing Plan  Sucks’ to see if it resonates with your readers.
