Ready to see some magic?
Let’s get started!
1. Impactful headlines
The first step to creating content that will make your target audience go ‘WOW’ is to write impactful headlines. After all, the headline is what will make them want to click in the first place. Here are a few tips for writing headlines that pack a punch:
- Use strong keywords that accurately describe what your article is about.
- Keep it short and sweet- try to make your headline no more than 8 words long.
- Be specific so they know exactly what they’re clicking on.
- Avoid cliches or phrases that have been overused by other companies in the industry.
2. Create content for your target audience
The best way to create content that will make your target audience go ‘wow’ is to know who your target audience is and what they want. Once you know this, you can create content that is tailored to their needs and wants. This will make them feel like you understand them, and they will be more likely to engage with your content.
3. Inspire or spark emotions!
When you’re creating content, it’s important to remember that you want to inspire or spark certain emotions in your target audience. After all, this is what will make them sit up and take notice.
Shares come from content that transmits emotions, according to research. These emotions include awe, curiosity, inspiration, anxiety, sadness, and humor. The type of emotion may vary depending on the product, but for the most part, it should be about eliciting an emotional response.
4. Solve their biggest problems
The first step is understanding what your target audience’s biggest problems are. Once you know this, you can begin creating content that offers solutions to these problems.
Keep in mind that your content should be helpful, informative, and engaging if you want to make a positive impression. What’s the point of making people go wow if they don’t stay? Create something of value so your customers will keep coming back for more!
5. Give away tons of value
Another secret to creating content that will make your target audience go ‘wow’ is to give away tons of value. This means writing blog posts that are packed with information, creating helpful videos, and offering free resources.
By giving away value, you’ll show your audience that you’re an expert in your field and that you’re dedicated to helping them succeed.
You’ll also demonstrate that you care about their success, which makes them more likely to buy from you! And if they don’t buy from you? They may refer others to do so.
6. Let your images tell a 1000 words!
A great way to make your content stand out is by using images. People are visual creatures and will often be drawn to an image before they even read the accompanying text.
So, make sure you’re using high-quality images that are relevant to your topic. As long as the photos are related to what you’re writing about, then it doesn’t matter if it’s a drawing or photo of something in real life. As long as it tells a story about what you want to convey with your words, then it’s perfect!
Here’s an article about using story-telling in your content strategy.
7. Make it so good, they want to share it!
You want your target audience to be so impressed with your content that they can’t help but share it with their friends and followers. Your new connections are also likely to be like your target audience persona, attracting them to follow and enjoy your content. So, a few short weeks after creating content, you would have created a sharing loop, making your content go viral!
8. Maintain your brand styles
Maintaining your brand style helps keep your content consistent and recognizable to your target audience. It also will help create a personal brand for you, as well as become a powerful attraction agent for customers. A little consistency goes a long way!
9. Compelling Call-to-Action
The best way to create content that will make your target audience go ‘WOW’ is to start with a compelling call-to-action. This will help you focus your content and ensure that it is relevant and engaging.
Plus, a strong call-to-action will encourage your readers to take action, which is what you want!
Here are some tips for creating a strong call-to-action
1) Use short sentences
2) Be specific about the action
3) Include an emotion (e.g., Be empowered!)
4) Incorporate scarcity or urgency into the CTA (e.g., Offer ends today!).
5) Include social proof – show customers how many people have already taken action by using testimonials, success stories, etc.
6) Tell people how they can get started right away!
If you follow these six steps when crafting your content, then you’ll be well on your way to making sure that your blog posts and other pieces of online content are successful at converting leads into paying customers!
