Why Does My Content Suck?

Great web content writing doesn't happen over night and there is definitely no secrets or shortcuts to creating good readable content for your website audience.  Whether it's blog or website content writing, it requires patience and most important of all lots of practice.


SEO and content writing go hand in hand in the world of internet marketing. The search engines are readers so it will take a great combination of keywords and creativity to make your web content really stand out.  there are no content writing secrets other than practice, but there are some tips you can use a guide line to make things easier.

Make It Easy On The Eyes

Don't write paragraphs so large that it's painful to read.  No one wants to read through hundreds of words with no breaks or paragraphs in the text.  Many won't even read and simply just move on.  Use short and sweet paragraphs with bold headers so your readers can skim through your content and easily find what they need.

Choose A Side

Choose a side of the argument and stick to it.  Most articles are base on opinions so your articles should show your personality.  Put your heart and soul into your writings so your audience understand there is a human behind the writing.

Must Use Keywords

I know your heard this a million times but it's important to understand that keywords will determine how your writings will bounce around online.  If you have no keyword in your content then your web content will have a hard time moving around in search engines.  Your website content should act as an inbound marketing source all the time.

Be A Little Edgy

Don't worry if you offend someone.  Your writing will always offend someone no matter what you write so write what you want.  There are many ways to sound and look professional while creating a little controversy at the same time.  It comes down to saying something that your industry or others are scared to say.

Use Images

You should always use images in your content if possible.  Having images you significantly decrease the bounce rate on your website or blog content.

Should Be Yourself

Don't worry much about you what your visitors might want to see in your writing style, but put your own personal touch and your web content will shine.  Just be you and write how you want and express your personality and stand out for your audience.

It take time to acquire great content writing skills.  You must dedicate and write every day for your skills to become razor sharp.  Start a blog and start writing content 2-3 times a week and overtime you will see your writing skills build very nicely.
