Level up content

Content marketing is one of the marketing buzz phrases and the trend towards content is continuing.

When writing content though it can be difficult to find ways of making your latest pieces stand out against editorial you have previously produced especially when you are discussing a popular topic.

Here are a few tips to help you take your future content to the next level…

The first thing that anyone sees when viewing your content is how it looks.

In the digital age, most people prefer to scan web pages rather than read all the information that is put in front of them.

Simple tools such as breaking up large chunks of text into smaller paragraphs creating subtitles bolding keywords and adding bullet points can help keep longer content concise and engaging.

Make it accessible

Mobile has overtaken computer traffic with regards to search traffic. Therefore, make sure whatever you produce is easily accessible on all platforms. It’s no use having something great if more than half of your audience can’t view it.
