    1. Start with Keyword Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Your content can do two things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Generate traffic<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Raise conversions<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Creating it to do either one is great. But is there a good reason not<\/em> to get around to both?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      NO, there isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      So, choose your words. And this means finding a keyword with high search volume and low competition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Using keyword research tools like Ahrefs<\/a> will make it easier for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Here\u2019s how you do it (with \u201cblogging tips\u201d as the sample keyword<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      First, visit the tool\u2019s website and sign in to your account.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"ahrefs<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      You\u2019ll need to shell out $7 for a 7-day trial. I know it\u2019s a strange practice to have people pay for a trial of your product, but not all products are like Ahrefs. Trust me, it\u2019s going to be worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Once you\u2019re logged in, go to Keywords explorer<\/strong> and search for \u201cblogging tips\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Ahrefs<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      From the results, you will see an overview of the keyword<\/strong>. This includes keyword difficulty, search volume, <\/em>and traffic potential.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Ahrefs<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      Now, turn to the left and click search suggestions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Ahrefs<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      This lets you view all keywords related to your search.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Ahrefs<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      Browse through the list to find the best keyword. Remember to focus on those with high search volume <\/strong>and low competition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      2. Find The Most Shared Posts for this Keyword<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      You need to create content that people will want to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Doing so gives you exclusive access to lots of potential traffic. It\u2019s also one of the best ways to improve your rank on Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To show you an example, let\u2019s pick up where we left off with the same keyword<\/em> used in the previous step: blogging tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      So first, go to Ahrefs\u2019 Content explorer<\/strong> and search for \u201cblogging tips\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Ahrefs<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      It will then provide you with a list of the most popular content<\/strong> for your keyword. In this case, you can view the most popular content for \u201cblogging tips\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Best<\/figure><\/div>\n\n
      \n
      \"most<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      And they are the most shared posts on Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      As you can see, this article earns the second spot on the list: 21 Business Blogging Tips From the Pros<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Blogging<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      And the reason why it\u2019s one of the most shareable content<\/strong> is no mystery at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If you\u2019re wondering why, let me fill you in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Title is click-worthy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Its title contains a number and straightforward message. So, who wouldn\u2019t want to click it to check out the article itself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      An impressive example of long-form content<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The article contains 3,447 words! Of course, readers pay more attention to it. It\u2019s likely informative, well-researched, and in depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Loaded with images<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Did you know that at least one image can help an article get the \u201cshareable content\u201d badge? Well, the number of images in the post doesn\u2019t go below 10!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      3. Use Quora to find Questions You can Answer About The Keyword<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      This Q&A site is a power player<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It\u2019s the perfect<\/em> venue to get questions you can feature in your article. And these questions are \u201cthe hot stuff\u201d because people are in dire<\/em> need of answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Now, there are two ways to unleash Quora\u2019s potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The first one is the old-fashioned approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      First, go to Quora and search for \u201cblogging tips\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Quora<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      You will then see a list of results.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Best<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      Choose the best one to use for your article. It will make your life much<\/em> easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      For example, let\u2019s go with the first question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      What is the best blogging tip site for a blogger?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"best<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      What you do is feature this subject matter on your article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Here is an example of an outline that features that.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Best<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      While searching on Quora is easy, why not make it even easier for you? If you\u2019re looking for blogging tips in general, give me a shoutout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You can peek at my Quora profile<\/a> to see the questions I\u2019ve answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The second way is to reverse engineer<\/strong> the process! Instead of searching for the answers, go to the answers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Start by finding out who the influencers and subject matter experts are. And look<\/em> at their answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Don\u2019t know how to find influencers on Quora?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Lucky you, Phantombuster<\/a> is a tool that can help you out with this. All you need is to choose a Quora topic. Then it will discover influencers for you!<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Phantombuster\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      4. Search for Infographics to Feature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Pinterest<\/a> is the place to be for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Featuring infographics is a genius<\/em> move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      After all, 100% of businesses<\/a> can gain from them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      They are visually-appealing<\/strong> and easy-to-scan<\/strong>. Plus, their viral capabilities can increase brand awareness <\/em><\/strong>and generate lots of traffic<\/strong><\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Want a simple lesson on how to do this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Then, listen up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      First, go to Pinterest and search for the infographics you want. In this case, I searched for \u201cblogging advice infographic\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"blogging<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      You will then land on a page with a gallery of infographics!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      From the results, turn to the most attractive one for you. In this case, I will go with this.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"blogging<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      Then click it for a larger view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To use it, click Send. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Embed<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      Now choose how and where you want to share it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Share<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      5. Look for Videos To Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      This will help increase the dwell time<\/strong> of your visitors. If you have an interesting video for them, they will watch it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Take it from 80% of marketers<\/a> who already pulled it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This time, YouTube<\/a> is the place to be. It\u2019s where you will find relevant videos you can embed in your posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Go to YouTube and search for relevant videos. In this example, I\u2019ll search for \u201ctricks for bloggers\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      From the list of results, click the one you think is best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I\u2019ll go with this one. It\u2019s Neil Patel\u2019s 7 Blogging Tips That Will Make Your Blog Successful<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Below the video, click SHARE<\/strong>. This will open a window that presents sharing options.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Share<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      Highlight the code and click Copy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Embed<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      Paste the code into your article on WordPress. If you\u2019re using WordPress\u2019 visual editor, all you need to do is paste the code\/link. And it will automatically convert into a watchable video.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Embed<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      6. Prepare Resources to Link in your Article<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Be ready to support everything you\u2019re saying. This builds trust<\/strong> and helps<\/strong> establish rapport<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This also lets you barricade yourself.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You need to watch out for people who might rush to you with questions \u2013 or worse, attack your credibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You can do this by turning to well-known<\/strong> and honorable sources<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Check out how I did it in the previous point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I mentioned earlier that 80% of marketers<\/a> turn to video to help increase dwell time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      So, save your questions if you have any. You can<\/em> learn the facts yourself by clicking on the link I gave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      7. Feature Influencers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cThey\u2019re people who have consistent access to a massive audience of consumers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      But they don\u2019t just have access. They have the ability to influence the decisions of their audience members.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"How<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      That\u2019s according to Neil Patel in his post: How to Connect with Rock Stars<\/a>. And it\u2019s inarguable he\u2019s one of the biggest influencers in Digital Marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      He doesn\u2019t doubt the effectiveness of influencer marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      So you will want to feature influencers to get the ball rolling for you and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Think of an influencer as a big brother<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Like a big brother, an influencer will also be there for you. He will also have your back and help you build yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      But, avoid rushing the process. You need to be careful when choosing an influencer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Remember, not<\/em> all influencers can benefit you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Go with the good ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You can do that by checking their profile beforehand. And from there, assess whether they are a good fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Some variables you need to look out for are Domain Authority, Page Authority, <\/em>and Reply Ratio. <\/strong><\/em>Get a handle on the number of their Twitter followers and Retweet ratio, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To start finding influencers, a tool like BuzzSumo<\/a> will help you out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Here\u2019s what you need to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      First, click on the Influencers <\/strong>tab on your BuzzSumo account.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"BuzzSumo<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      On the search bar, search for the kind of influencers you want to work with using relevant keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In this example, I will use \u201cblogging\u201d. I chose it as a search term because I want to reach out to blogging influencers.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Buzzsumo<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      From the list of results, refer to the variables mentioned above. And take your pick!<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Kelley<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      8. Build an Outline Using Your Research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Now, it\u2019s time to begin stitching pieces of information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      From what you uncovered, create a rough<\/strong> outline. Emphasis on rough because this outline needs to be flexible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It\u2019s how you can apply the necessary changes later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Use it to present a general overview of how you should proceed with your article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Additionally, know your goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Why are you writing this particular article? What is it for?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It\u2019s a great thing you can use a tool to help you write outlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It\u2019s called WorkFlowy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A great thing about using WorkFlowy is its simplicity. It\u2019s flexible and easy-to-use, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Plus, it gives you this ability to zoom and expand items. This means that you can work on both micro and macro tasks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You can use it how you want. You can build an outline from scratch. Or, you can craft one on the go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Here\u2019s an example. I\u2019ll go with the keyword \u201ceasy blogging methods\u201d. And I\u2019ll use it as a title with 4 sub-headings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This is the result.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Blog<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      If you click the bullet point, it will expand a subheading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This will lead you to another section. There, you can choose to add other sub sub-headings.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Workflowy<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      To show you, I added a batch of sub sub-headings under \u201cSingle Topic Blogging.\u201d I created 5, to be exact.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
      \"Single<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

      If you want to expand the latest batch of sub sub-headings, go ahead. Follow the same process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      And if you want to make your way back to the previous headings, you can do that, too. All you need to do is click on the title above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n\n\n\n

      9. Write a Click-Worthy Title<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      It\u2019s where your first chance to steal your readers\u2019 attention lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Sure, more than the majority will give your headline a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In fact, studies say that 8 out of 10 people will read headlines. But, only 2 of them<\/a> will read your content!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      So unless you make an impressive headline, not a lot of people will check out the rest of your article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The solution?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Craft headlines that are too awesome to ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If you make it happen, conversion rates will go up by 127%<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Here\u2019s how. This is a breakdown of Neil Patel\u2019s How To Create Headlines That Get Clicks<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
