Step-By-Step On How To Create Good Content

Know the different Content Types (Remember that the content is king)

  •  News Contents

News is the staple of the publishing world. It’s constantly updating and changing, there is always new source material, and readers always return for more. The difficulty with news blogs is getting content before anyone else. Getting the scoop on a big story is essential to get readers, particularly if you are competing against popular sites and outlets. If you are angling for a news blog, then you should consider how you can break stories rather than just reporting via other news outlets.
  •  How-to Contents

Teaching readers how to do something; whether it’s to lose weight, manage money, or learn a new skill;  is another staple of publishing. The great thing about how-to content is that as long as you can teach something of value, you’ll always get readers, even if there are lots of other sites teaching in the same area. People have a thirst for knowledge and will obsessively read all about their favorite topic searching for nuggets of information. As always, it helps to have a differentiating angle, however in education, even just creating a large resource is often a differentiator.
  • Opinion Contents

Opinion content ranges from reviews of products like gadgets and games, to opinions on the news, to opinions on life. Opinion-based blogs work best with a strong editorial voice and are often driven by individual personalities. Virtually all blogs will have at least a dose of opinion blended in; the choice is really more about what quantity.
  • Entertainment Contents

Entertainment content is tricky to do well, but if you can manage it, then it is by its very nature differentiated. That is to say if you are entertaining people, then you’ve already managed to produce value. Audiences can never seem to get enough entertainment, so the throttle here really is that it’s difficult to produce content that is genuinely engaging.
  • Content Aggregation

Aggregation is when a blog exists to filter out quality links, news, and content around the web. They will often rely on short posts with links or large lists of “the best” this and that. Aggregation is surprisingly popular, quite easy to do, and therefore somewhat overdone.

You can also blend content types. A news post could be packaged in the form of news plus opinion. If the post was about a new gadget being released, the blogger could then add their opinion about what the gadget might mean, their take on its utility, or how they personally would use it.

Which Content Formats to use?

Although blogs are primarily written, there are four different media that are often used on blogs:
  • Written Contents

Virtually all blogs have a written element to them, whether they are long articles or short link posts. The big advantage written content has over
the other three content formats, is that it has far bigger search traffic potential.
  • Photographic Contents

For some blogs, photographs are simply accompanying imagery to written posts. For others such as the popular 
  • Video Contents

Recently video blogs have been getting more and more popular.
  • Audio Contents

Podcasts were very popular for a while, but today video has taken that mantle. As with content types, it’s quite possible to have a mix of content formats. Certainly written and photographic content are almost always mixed. More recently video has been making its way onto sites, particularly as the costs of producing video and audio content slowly drop.

How to write a dissertation - writting a successful thesis

How to write a successful thesis or dissertation The selection of a suitable topic is the first major step in writing a thesis or dissertation. For some students this is an easy task. They have known what they wanted to study from the time they entered college and perhaps even before, but for many others, selecting a thesis or dissertation topic is one of the most difficult parts of their graduate programs. The thought of developing a “completely original” idea for such a large-scale project may seem overwhelming to them. The notion that a dissertation must be completely original is a misconception, for no research is completely original. All research is based on the work of others to some extent. In fact, the most useful kind of research simply builds on research that has already been done. Some of the most successful theses and dissertations simply extend the knowledge base one step further in an area by examining a new variable within a well-established line of inqu...
