How to Write User-Oriented Content More Quickly. Creating an outline is as simple as organizing all the points you want to make into distinct sections. Once you’ve done that, the article nearly writes itself. When you don’t have a method of creation, you’ll find yourself guessing every time. Creating actionable takeaways is your method of building brand loyalty, content worth, and legitimately helping people through their problems. If you can link quality resources to your content, your audience is even more likely to follow your content. Try to make it easier to understand or more entertaining, and you’ll grow your audience at the same time. You need to produce quality information for it to more likely be shared and referenced by other sites. Conclusion Writing great content quickly isn’t hard as long as you have a plan. By using outlines, developing standard operating procedures, hiring researchers, creating actionable advice, linking to useful resources, and referencing other material, you’ll find the time it takes to finish articles drastically reduced and your content’s worth greatly increased.
Your audience is hungry.
They want content that’s relevant to their problems, solves the
problems NOW, and isn’t just clickbait.
But they want it consistently. People get upset if they can’t
read things on a regular basis.
And that poses a problem for you, the content creator:
How do you generate quality content, without resorting
to clickbait, and do it fast?
There’s no formula for quickly writing clear, informative, and
shareable content, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a
framework.
Keep these six key steps in mind, and you can quickly create
content that’s both well-crafted and user-oriented:
1. Create content outlines
If you want to kill your credibility, all you need to do is to
create
disjointed content that doesn’t flow. Although it doesn’t mean
that you don’t know what you’re writing about, your audience will
remember how disorganized the text is and not the great points you
made.
Creating an outline is as simple as organizing all the points
you want to make into distinct sections. Once you’ve done that, the
article nearly writes itself.
It also gives you a more focused path for the content rather
than a stream of consciousness that keeps the reader from
understanding the real points you’re making.
How you structure your outline is up to you. You can use
this template, or use it as a guide to develop your own.
2. Develop a standard operating procedure
(SOP)
An SOP turns the stress of content creation into an easily
managed system. When you don’t have a method of creation, you’ll
find yourself guessing every time. An SOP’s repetitive nature can
turn content creation into a standardized process.
Don’t worry, you’ll still be able to let your creativity shine
through your organization and text on the page. Only, it’ll be done
much faster.
Start by deciding how you’re going to outline, draft, edit, and
spell check. Every phase of your article’s creation should have a
planned format.
Once you’ve decided on the system, write it down as a bulleted
or numbered list. Use it every time.
After you finish an article, whether it was easy to create or
not, think of how you can make the process better. Nothing says
that your SOPs are set in stone; you should be constantly trying to
improve your systems.
3. Consider hiring researchers
Your natural instinct is to generate content yourself. While
that may work for a while, you’ll eventually become too busy with
other affairs to be able to do all of your own research.
This is where hired researchers can help.
Set parameters for their work to limit the amount of information
you need to sort through. From there, compile what they’ve provided
into an article that meets your approval. You can even request a
section to be ghost-written. Ensure that it fits your brand’s voice
and style and no one will be able to tell the difference.
You can even just create an outline beforehand and send that to
the writer to be filled in.
Outsourcing can drastically increase the speed at which you
create content because half the work is done for you.
4. Create actionable takeaways
Providing the “why”…
