How to boost your sales simply with content creation

We all know that content is what helps you boost your rankings within the search engine results pages (SERPs), but not many people think of how that content can actually help you boost your sales.  The beauty of content is that you can spin words of wonder and also pitch people at the same time.  You can create a story as well as talk about your product in the same paragraph, which will key people in on what made you successful or helped you out along the way. 

You won't want to pitch people with every single sentence, but a slight nudge in the direction of your sales page isn't going to hurt your bottom line either How to boost your sales simply with content creation  Now, the problem some people run into is that they get a few sales from an article they were a little pitchy in, and they start to alter their writing styles so they are always pitching, but then their sales start to drop off and they don't know why.  Their one article with a pitch in it was successful, so their new content with a dozen pitches in it should have done better, right?  Well, the problem with that is people don't want to always be pitched to, they want you to help them with a problem or give them some quality information and they will deal with a pitch here and there but not throughout your entire article.

In this discussion, I'll be covering a few things that will help you boost your sales solely from writing your content a certain way, and those things are:


Solve someone's problem with your content
When you're browsing around online you'll notice that people all over are asking questions that they desperately need answers to.  There are actual Q&A platforms that are dedicated to this type of marketing, and they do extremely well in terms of generating traffic to their subpages where the questions and answers are. 

What you'll want to do is figure out the questions that people are likely to answer and write up a long article about that very question.  Obviously, you'll want to answer the question and add in additional information related to the question you're writing about so people stay on your website and browse around after they've finished reading what they came for. 

If you can answer hundreds of questions, while optimizing your content for related keywords, you'll notice your traffic starting to have a really good upward tick and your sales or sign ups start to get boosted.


Write content that could go viral
Content needs to be written in a way that it's informative, which means you need a good amount of information within it for people to understand it well, but it also needs to be written in a way so it can potentially go viral.

To get an article to go viral, it needs to have a sort of edge and possibly be confrontational, but you can't post something like this all of the time because your website will just come across as something that wants to stir the pot.  What you'll want to do is figure out what is making waves within your niche and write about it in a way that no one is currently. 

Let's take SEO for example since everyone knows it at least a little bit.  If I were to write up an article about how SEO is dying out and the rise of AI will kill any online marketing jobs, I'm sure people would come to it and comment that I'm crazy and SEO will never die because it's a series of variables combined within an algorithm to determine the rankings of a website and AI wouldn't do that.  Yes, AI won't be doing that and SEO will likely never die but it will alter from year to year.  My post wouldn't be about for spreading the information about how it will die, but it will be to pull people in to discuss why they think it's not going to die.  If I can achieve this, I've already won even if the reader doesn't agree with me How to boost your sales simply with content creation

If you can get your content to go viral it will get in front of hundreds or thousands of readers each day and that will definitely boost your sales How to boost your sales simply with content creation


Add your personality to each article
You can't sound like a robot when you're writing, because people won't come back to read your second or third post.  Take my writing, for example, here on Seocheckout I write in a friendly manner but educate people at the same time.  People tend to gravitate towards my discussions because the way I write is inviting and never overwhelming to the reader, which keeps them coming back whenever they see I posted something.

If you can add your personality to your writing, people will eventually start to gravitate towards you and that means you can build up a following.  Just like here on seocheckout, you can build a following by offering your readers a chance to sign up for your newsletter which will notify them whenever you have a certain number of new posts live on your website or blog.  Doing this will boost your sales since they will likely come back from time to time and they may eventually make a purchasing decision.


In conclusion
Content is one of the most powerful marketing tools you can use, and you don't even have to pay for it because you can do it yourself, but you can also outsource it for a few bucks if you don't feel comfortable writing massive amounts of content yourself.  If you can solve someone's problem, write some articles that have the potential to go viral, and add your own personality and voice to your writing you will be able to watch your authority rise as well as your sales!

I have to agree that adding your own touch or personality to your content gives it a unique feel and this is what I call "soul" of the article. Having no soul the content tends to be less convincing and boring to readers.

I agree with you. It is a breath of fresh air to add your uniqueness in what you have written.

I know of some bloggers who has the propensity to write about hot issues like contrversial decisions of the president or other high ranking government official. Calamities like typhoon and earthquake are also good copy. I think any subject that is presently popular can attract readers so those items are good contents that can give traffic to the site.

It is all about popular requests. You can't just make it by writing on topics that are long and forgotten as this is not going to be of any good help to you in the future. I always want to be the best in everything that I do and that involves getting to make a good time with the things that I write.

I think writing on the trendy topics definitely is needed. And people don't pay attention to small details that is one niche too. Because news and the other type of the trendy content creators often need some of such type of the bloggers. So there seems to be demand for such writers. I am sure in future more such writers will get work.

Joining the bandwagon as they say, is a popular option that some writers opts for and specializes in. But it has its dangers, more so if one take sides on a controversial topic, sometimes they get bashed.

I've read that a site that posts everyday is more likely to attract views. This is just like the recommendation algorithm of Youtube. It recommends creators who post everyday more often than people who only post a once a week. More content = more traffic = more $$$

When you get to solve the issues of people with your content, then you are half way to getting to make money using such contents and the reason is because they are likely going to enjoy good time with you in a way that it is going to benefit a lot of people. I have noticed that when you tend to solve the problems of others in your contents, they will find it easier to believe in sharing the problem with you.

Right, start to answer questions of people having problems with something. Its great that you are the one who's helping them as well creating traffic on your website. You helped them and it helps you too because theres a chance that they can promote you too to their friends. And that's what nice about it.

I was made to understand when I was introduced to freelance writing what matters most in article writing would be to ensure that one's write up must offer a solution to one particular problem that would drive the readers to seek out the content in either blogs or forums.

So, with ensuring that you have written an article that will offer one help or service to the readers will definitely push them to look up to reading more of your articles.

I suppose it all comes down to the fact you need to give people something they want to read and in a format that keeps them reading. I see this as an art form. Even if you want people to buy socks or underpants there has to be a reason to read the words in the advertisement. Those words need to get them to buy that particular brand of sock. I guess in that case, the hobby horse socks that my grandma made might be interesting to show how long and how durable the socks are. Even in old age, the brand of sock has uses. That would be more interesting than "This sock wears well." The question being, "Do these socks last long enough to make me want to buy a pair." The background of course is the comfortable granny/child fun aspect that makes you feel safe with the socks and has comforting air. "These socks are comfortable socks you will want to live with for a long time." Thank you. Your article has given me some insight into how to write better articles.

Truth is if a blogger can regularly create content which goes viral each time it is published, you'll have all the time you need to create even more quality content which will draw in more and more traffic that could convert to more sales.

One thing I have tried but whose answers I as yet still don't have is how to write content that has the potential to go viral. I'll keep applying the knowledge I gain each new day and I guess eventually I'll learn how creating viral content is done.

I think writing the seasonal content also helps out. You can see that some of the time content creation does require you to be regular with the earning. And if done properly keywords can bring some really good traffic as well. Not a lot of people can learn how to boost the sales. It takes some planning and also some sort of promotion and that way it may work out. But it's kind of hit and miss there.

Writing in our own words, keeping it simple and maybe provide some videos along your articles can be very helpful for many people, so someone with little influence can go viral easy when other people find your articles helpful. I have seen it many times, specially on Facebook when people tagging their friends in some posts because they know that post would help them too and by tagging sending them a signal that help is there, available for free

"ADDING PERSONALITY ON YOUR WORK" is really effective. It is like when I compare a blogger to a comedian. Some comedians are well loved by the audience because of his personal style as a comedian. It also goes with a blogger. I get hooked in a blog because I like how the blogger's personality is radiated in every article. It is like as if you are just talking to the writer. I like it when a writer is able to make a content that is engaging and possesses intrapersonal characteristics that can connect to their readers and visitors.

I've never been fortunate enough to write content that goes viral. But one of my fellow freelance writers did a short post and everybody and their mother wanted to share it. It was practical tips about how to be prepared for the winter season. Well, of course, living in Texas, I couldn't write an article about that topic. But one of these days, I will think of a subject to write about that will go viral. But it won't be anything winter-related. LOL.

Often it is simple well thought of content that go viral. I might say I have not yet written one but I do very well. There are some that do not pick up but others do.

If you are tracking the content and never seen it go viral then that means you have not promoted in the right place. Organic viral content is hard and it is matter of luck. I have not seen people doing that for years. I have however seen some people make use of the content on social media to make it viral. And that does work for some.

@cmoney same here. I have never been able to produce viral content. However, I have produced contents that are receiving 200-400 daily traffic from Google alone. Interestingly I wrote these contents before I knew about SEO. I own some titles. When I say own, I mean I have published articles on the topics that are not much available online yet receives substantial search hits

Your content is the best way to introduce your business to the people. It is great to deliver a message about your products or services. And I agree that by adding your personality to your content can be helpful. It is not just building a connection to your potential customers but also creates attraction of more prospects



Are you sure you want to delete this post?

Yes by adding the personality into the writing, the people can connect with the content. And that in turn helps with the conversion of the sales. That's what most of the people who work in the content generation and the conversion work. You can see that there seems to be a lot of people who work in the content generation for same reason with the personal building.

Yes I believe that the most important part in having a good profit in business is by creating a great content in such a way people will understand and be attracted to the products and services that you are offering to them. It might take some time but then if it goes right then you will be earning a great amount of profits in it.

Right. Or we can try it to make more easier for everyone to understand it. It must be easy to navigate, easy to understand the steps and get to know who are your targets are. Make sure you be the one to assist your customer in times they have questions or confused of something so we can give them satisfaction with our service in business.



Are you sure you want to delete this post?

esteban123
Yes our content must be precised and very clear as much as possible so as to avoid conflict and confusion among the customers or clients. We must see to it to answer all their queries at the soonest possible time so that they will know that they are important to us and to gain their trust and loyalty as well,

“To get an article to go viral, it needs to have a sort of edge and possibly be confrontational, but you can't post something like this all of the time because your website will just come across as something that wants to stir the pot.”

This kind of reminds of the whole controversy surrounding Infowars at the moment. Don’t get me wrong, Alex Jones is a crackpot, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.

That being said, any valid point that he may have made was overwhelmed by all the other crud that he was throwing at the wall. Constantly posting about controversial content is a guaranteed way to make you seem far less credible, so I’m glad that you pointed this out.

I once published an article about Muslim women using headscarf. Well, the article did not go viral however, it did receive a lot of traffic and comments. Just before I deleted the article there were already 300 comments and none of them were generic comments. All of these comments added value to the discussion. If you publish on controversial topics, you can make your content go viral.

Writing a content for a website or blog is somewhat of a tedious task knowing that nowadays anything can be found on the internet regardless of the topics that we are talking about. It is true that adding your personality in an article can be an effective technique in boosting your sales in your website because of the words that become personal to the readers. Take the example of this discussion, while reading the article above I could sense that Sir Tommy is in a good mood while writing this article or perhaps he is smiling. It is because the way words are being used in the article which gave us a feeling of friendliness and yet we are being educated at the same time.

Well, if you have a great content, you can boost your sales by posting the good advertisements on your product, and it can also attract lots of customers around there.

I really agree on the line that in each article that we would be making is that we should add our personality so that it will look more interesting to read and to have as well. We should put a signature on it so that it will be different from other article that they read. rRaders can easily know our article because of the signature personality that we attached from it.

The saying content is king is quite applicable now. For people to constantly tune in to read your content or to find your blog and read what you written and respond to your call to action,I think your content needs to be really unique, especially with all the blogs out there. I agree that one of the ways to do this is to write in a unique and fresh way. You need to stamp your personality on the content and also to write in a simple manner. For example I always read Neil Patel's blog because he writes informative fun to read content.

I have come across some badly written articles that adds no value to anyone who makes out time to read them even when they come with a catchy title, the body is completely worthless.

When a content is written with good information that will solve the problem for anyone who reads it, it's definitely going to draw such individual back for more and that means increased traffic to your site.

I have seen this a lot too. I believe this is done by those who could care less about content but more so getting adsense revenues. I have seen a lot of blogs that have a SEO optimized title and first paragraph and then the best of the article is basically junk just spinned and spinned until it becomes unreadable. This is a shady practice which could possibly get your adsense account disabled. But I think those people who create junk articles do not care and just want to earn a quick buck then willl probably delete website after they earned so much money.

Working to earn money online from one's blog or forum on a short term basis will not be of any good benefits because it's far more better to work and earn more money on long term.

But too bad to what we have and experience in freelance work, there are some people who just exist to ruin the job and it makes a mess of the whole job.

I have been working as a content developer since a long time. While I have never been able to produce contents that went viral, however, I have been successful in generate moderate search traffic. People search on the internet looking for answer. The search term is always a query. Therefore, if your content can answer the question to certain topics you will receive search traffic. Search traffic adds value to your website.

Providing answers to people's questions is a good strategy to gain traffic to your website. You can add up some of your experiences that could relate to your topic. It's just like you helped other people and they helped you to gain traffic.

People do not search on the internet to learn about what you did not Friday. However, if you cooked eggplant in Friday, they might be interested what you actually did on Friday. Instead of how you spent Friday, you can write on how to cook egg plant and publish the recipe. People who want to learn eggplant recipe might search about eggplant recipe on Google and might land on your article. Your online content should always answer a question or provide an information.

I am glad that other people make it to happen to earn a decent amount of money for their blogs which is really good and amazing. I think I need to do a lot of research and gain some experience so that I can suceed on that journey.

The essential objective of content marketong is furnishing your perusers and leads with quality data. To keep your content new and look after readership, it's essential to distribute regularly and reliably. When you don't post blog articles for a lot of time, perusers will quit going to your website. Post as frequently as possible, while guaranteeing you are distributing quality substance.

I agree. Creating contents that could solve other people's problems is a thing. Especially when it have a potential to go viral, it is not impossible for the people to not know your content. You have to choose somerhing that you think can really help other people and can lead them to your product. It is a good marketing product. You just have to put your own personality so that it can have impact to your readers.

I guess you are right that contents with substance particularly in giving solution to some common problems and issues can go viral because of the benefit that the reader gets. But it’s easier said than done because getting the attention of the public is like looking for the needle in the haystack. You need some luck for that because no matter what you do but if you are not lucky then your content will not go viral.
