Writing good content for your blog is very critical to driving organic traffic to your website.
Good content drives traffic to your site forever and free of cost!
The key to building a good blog is being consistent in publishing and keeping it relevant for your audience.
Having said that, I’d also like to point out that we’re in an age of information overload and whatever we are publishing needs to be exceptional.
If one pulls out their Blog’s Page views from Google analytics, you’ll realize that only 10% of your posts get 90% of the views, and we need to be churning more and more posts like the Top 10% of the high impact pieces.
Tactics to Create Great Content for your blog:
-
Identify What your competitors are writing & sharing
Follow your competitors blog & social feeds and see what type of content are they sharing
-
Identify What content works best for your competitors

-
Identify Top keywords, and entities for the best content
Keywords and entities can be used to generate ideas and when using in your own articles, will help you rank higher in google search results.
-
Find the Most engaging content related to your industry
Creating unique and most engaging content specific to your industry will also help you reach the same audience in a unique way and differentiates you from your competitors.
-
Identify the Top hashtags tweeted with your relevant content
Hashtags are key to getting your content discovered. Trending/Commonly used hashtags allow your content to reach a wider audience.
-
Create Content from Content
Listen to podcasts, watch videos, interviews, etc. Synthesize the content into words, overlay it with grammer, commas and some leeway. Tweak it, alter it, read it, iterate and give it the finishing touches.
-
Create Micro-Content
Several pieces can be created from a single piece of content. You need to learn to hack your way into the content using keywords and categories, and capture the niche to write about.

Start writing
Write fast, set deadlines, review and iterate later. Period.
