Stick to the Subject and Your Readers Will Stay

Publishing content on the internet is not a hard task. But, some days it is definitely not the easiest. What do I write about today? Will my reader understand what I am trying to say? Will the reader leave with valuable and useful knowledge?

These questions can be easily answered in two words: wanted content.

The typical internet user does not just search for random keywords to pass the time. They are looking for an answer to a question that they cannot answer themselves.

Where are we going on vacation in March? How do I make homemade egg noodles? How do I tie a double-winsor knot? What band is playing in town tonight?

The job of the publisher is to simply identify, and answer, the specific question. Of course, it is impossible to answer every possible question. That is why the publisher writes what they know.

Write what you know.

"Write what you know" is quite possibly the best lesson for any aspiring writer, no matter the intent of the audience. A reader will look right through imagined material. They may know more than what you are communicating to them.

It is tempting for a content publisher to try and breeze through their articles. This will not do any good ? for you or your reader. It is important to take time to research your topic.

Don't write above their heads.

Maybe you are the expert in your field. Therefore, they are not. It is then necessary to learn the questions of your readers. What do they want to know? How best can you describe the information? Besides knowing your content, it is equally important to be able to communicate at their level.

It is probably difficult for a reader to understand medical journal if they have only completed high school. It is probably equally as difficult for a Ph.D. to understand the writings of a sixth grader.

By researching other publications that include writings for your readers, you are able to determine what level of writing to use in your articles and content. You will sound more believable to your intended audience and they will almost certainly continue reading your piece.

What do I write?

Find out what questions your readers want answers to. There are solutions that will help you determine what they are searching for, and what pages are frequented the most. Where does your traffic come from and what links do they follow.

Taking the time to analyze this collected information will help you to better publish on your site. It is worth the time and effort to do a little research, and will eliminate wasted efforts on your part.

When it is all said and done?

When you have finished your research and writing, you will have completed a piece that is informative to your readers, easy to read and comprehend, and reassure your reader that you are a believable expert in your field. They can rely on you and your service to keep them informed of the information they desire.
