How to Create Website Content (Step
6)
Content is King! If you have done any research on how to
write or create website content you will have heard that phrase
many times and this will be the biggest obstacle you will have
in developing your website.
While surfing the internet looking for information, more
than 75% of the people scan the text to see if it is what they
are looking for.
Site Build It! has a great FREE ebook on
how to make your content presell. It was at one time for sale
or included with SBI package. As taken from their Make Your Content Presell page, the
reason this is free:
"Yes, we decided that this is an "absolute must" skill
set for every online business person. So we decided to give it
away."
Also......
No... you won't become
a brilliant writer overnight. But anyone (with
average IQ and some motivation) can indeed write
effectively. It starts by dropping the baggage of
what you've "mislearned" (or never learned). Read
this book -- MYCPS! is crucial for your online
success.
Unless your site is a technical
manual, use the K.I.S.S. method.

TIP:
Keep
It Simple
Sentences
|
When writing for your web site
- Check spelling and grammar
- Paragraphs (limit to one idea)
- Sentence Length (approx 10 words)
- Use bullets or list
- Bold or
highlight important points (use wisely)
- Approx 400 - 600 total words
- Use consistent font type
Adding new content
You need to add fresh, new content regularly. This may be
daily, weekly or monthly. You choose the time frame and stick
with it. By adding new content, the visitors you had on your
site a few months ago, may once again arrive at your website
because of the new content.

TIP: Write for your
audience, not search engines.

The above tip may sound ridiculous but many people try to
stuff as many keywords into their website contents. It ends
sounding very stiff and impersonal. Yes, use the keywords that
you have found for that particular topic, but don't over do it.
If you have found 30 keywords that you want to use, try
breaking it down to 5 or six different articles.
Make content unique
This is the most critical component to your website.
If you have lack of time, full knowledge, or unable to write
your own do not use copyrighted material unless you have
received permission. If your skills as a writer are lacking,
use a website copywriter, PLRor free articles.
Website copywriter
If you need to create content for your websites fast, pay
someone to write your articles/content. You can have an article
written anywhere from $5 up to $50. There are hundreds of these
ghost-writers out there. Once a price is negotiated for the
article, to obtain SEO on your article you send them keywords
for use in the article. They incorporate those keywords into
their writing.
PLR Articles
Private Label Rights are for sale all over the internet and
they are helping websites create content fast. Before you buy,
check to see how many other people have purchased the same
article. I have found websites charge from .20 each(buying many
at a time)to $5.00 for an article that will only be sold to one
person.
If you decide to use the same PLR article on your website
and submit to an article directory to generate targeted traffic and backlinks,
rewrite about 60% before submitting to the article directory so
you won't be nailed for duplicate content.
Free Articles
With so many free articles available in article directories
to use as web site content, do not use to many on your site as
other sites may be using the same article but if you need to
create your contents in your website fast, use a few with your
own unique content to help with SEO and avoid duplicate
content
Treat each page with the detail that you did for your home
page content. As your pages are indexed with the search engine,
your home page will not be the only landing page.

TIP: Once you have
written an article, have a few friends
proofread it.
