How do you know if you have even ticked any of the boxes when creating your web content?
Well here at The Buzz Writer, we have put together a Web Content Checklist.
1. Read & Review
You must always read over your content and review what you have written. If you don’t this leads to the chance you have mistyped something, or even explained a key tip incorrectly. Here are some simple tips for how to review your own content.
- Keep it simple – forget the jargon and technical speak
- Is the content easy to read – try to limit your descriptive words to a minimum, use everyday language.
- To the point – keep it short, concise and ensure you don’t get off track.
- Relatable – explain what you do and why you do it
- Schedule your posts in advance.
2. Ask For More
Do you have a call to action on every page/post? A call to action is an actionable request for your readers. It is definitely not a sales link on every page, but should encourage your reader to click through to other content on your site
For example :
- Links to another page on your website
- A contact form,
- Request for email signup
- A comment space
- Related content links
- Social share icons or follow buttons.
3. Share it
Is your content sharable? What I mean by this is, does your content give your reader the urge to share it? Here are some easy ways to know if your content is going to be shared:
- Does it create an emotional response?
- Do you have useful tips & tricks included?
- Personalise your content, or business, with #hashtags to allow readers to contribute
In case you need constant reminding, here is a free printable Web Content Checklist that will help you when writing your own web content.
Enjoy!
