It is easy to lose sight of what you need to do: this checklist gets you back on track.
These are the factors that make content high-quality and engaging. Take care of them and the content will take care of itself.
Use this as a checklist to share with your team and review how you approach projects and provide guidance as you go through the process.
- Your content should actually solve people’s problems - meaning, the people who make up your audience.
- Actionable tips and strategic advice based on experience and expertise. You may include curated resources like tools, downloads and datasets.
- Educational pieces that build knowledge, like step-by-step guides and how-to articles. Teach your audience something new.
- Engaging storytelling and case studies to connect with readers. Personalize posts to build relationships.
- Visual assets like images, charts and videos reinforce points and add variety. Canva and Venngage are helpful design tools.
- Links to reputable external sources to demonstrate authority and provide value for readers. Back up your claims.
- Clearly defined next steps and calls-to-action so readers know what you want them to do after reading. Subscribe, download something, share, buy a product, etc.
