1. Topic selection
If you decide to write about a topic that nobody is interested in, you’re going to struggle to get traffic, no matter how good your content is.
So how can you get a good idea of which topics to write about?
Reading a lot of other blogs and forums can be a great way to start, but there are also a bunch of tools that will help you here, for example:
Google Trends – This will show you a graph of how interest has increased/decreased over time.
BuzzSumo – This tool will show you which topics are generating the most social shares.
SEMrush* – With this tool you can find out exactly what keywords your competitors are ranking for in Google and get an estimate of how much traffic those keywords can bring in.
The important thing here is to ensure that the topics you choose fit with your content strategy and are focused on helping your target audience.
Matching your audience up with the right topic is a huge first step in winning the battle for attention online.
2. Pick a content type
Certain content types may get more traction than others.
On a personal note, the majority of my top shared posts are list posts and they are also the posts which generate the most referral traffic for me.
3. Add value
Now that you’ve decided on a topic and content type, it’s time to think about how you can position your content to stand out from all the rest.
The reality is that there are probably a bunch of posts on other blogs that are talking about something similar.
The key is finding that element that separates your content from all of the rest.
That might mean finding a unique angle, including more depth, adding more detail, improving usability or just giving away more information.
