There was a time when you could probably allow your website copy and content strategy to remain fairly static. That was before the dawn of mobile technology and the evolution of consumer thinking and demands. The consumer today doesn’t just want to read your home or landing page. They want content that moves with the latest trends, that they can access on the go, on the fly, and from any device that is connected to the Internet.

Think about the last book you read. It may have been a gripping crime thriller, a book full of juicy reference material or perhaps just a storybook you read to your child. The one thing most books and stories have in common is that they all contain multiple layers to some extent. A fairy story will have good guys, bad guys and a happy ending. A crime thriller will have intrigue, gritty storylines and a twist in the tale.

Canadian Thanksgiving, like all good things, came and went by too soon. It’s a time for being thankful for what we have and celebrating with our families. It’s also the time when we go out and buy the biggest turkey in the store without much thought about what we are going to do with the leftovers!

If you are constantly digging around for new content ideas and topics with which to wow your target audience, you could try digging a little closer to home. Many businesses fail to realize that they have some excellent, ready-to-use content right under their noses.

When you invest a lot of time and effort into content marketing, it can be frustrating to find that it isn’t doing anything for you. It’s not bringing in more qualified traffic, not engaging the visitors who come to your site and it’s certainly not converting. So what could be going wrong?

There you are, optimizing your site for the top keyword terms in your niche. Good work. Now along comes Google to state that over 20% of all searches are terms that have never been searched upon before.

The importance of interesting, high quality content and effective marketing has become of paramount importance now to get good rankings on the search engines. However, traffic to your website is no good unless the visitor becomes a conversion – enquiring about your products and services, joining your mailing list, or better still, making a purchase.

It can be very disheartening when your content fails to resonate with your target audience, but it doesn’t always mean you are using poor quality content.  Did you ever consider that you might have read your target audience wrong?  Very often, content fails because it is focused on the wrong group of people.  Mapping out the personas of your potential customers can help you to nail your content first time and ensure it gets out to the audience that matters.

Include Your POV to Encourage Conversion

Imagine how differently we'd see Star Wars if it was told through the eyes of a stormtrooper trying to get his next promotion or through Chewbacca's point of view. The reader of a story interprets the tale through the perspective of the narrator. Choosing an engaging and valuable point of view (POV) is essential to the narrative. You may not think of your content as a novel or a movie, but you're still telling a story through your blogs, email newsletters, videos, and other forms of digital content. Offering a unique POV with your online content can help make your brand stand out.

Here's An Idea on How to Handle this Latest Change

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,…” The opening paragraph of “A Tale of Two Cities” is considered one of literature’s greatest openers. Back in 1859, in times when reading books was possibly one of the few indoor entertainment activities people engaged in, Charles Dickens had the skill to hook the reader right at the start. Of course, he also had the skill to finish with a flourish — “It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.” That closing line is among those most praised in literature.

Getting back to the point—you can transform every introduction into an irresistible hook that commands your audience's attention. Here are some ideas for creating an opening that will resonate with your audience and stay with them.

Your Audience Cares about Smart Content (and so does Google!)
The length of content has been hotly debated for years. Ask the experts and you’ll get opinions that favor either side. It's like an ongoing arm-wrestling match between two equally fierce contenders. In the blue corner, we have the heavyweight champion of information, the Long-Form Content. With its vast word count and lengthy videos, it's like an all-you-can-eat buffet of knowledge. In the red corner, we have the nimble and attention-grabbing Short-Form Content. Like a swift and satisfying snack, it quickly captivates your audience. Think hors d'œuvres (or amuse-bouche if you want a ‘fancier’ analogy!).

Long-form content has benefits of keeping your reader engaged. Short-form content can grab the reader’s attention without a big commitment. Which one suits your needs? Let’s dig deeper to answer that question.

What Kind of Material Should I Read for Business Insights?

Reading is like the spinach of the writing world, except instead of bulging muscles, it gives you bulging vocabularies! The more you read, the more you absorb the written word and the better equipped you are to string together coherent sentences that engage, convert, and transform.
