Day 7 - Improve Your Content Strategy

1)  Put yourself into your user's mindset and create your users personas.  Creating user-focused content that's based on your customer's personas will prevent you from making great content that doesn't resonate with your users.

2)  Ask these questions about your content:
  • Will it answer all their questions on the topic?
  • Will any of the content frustrate your users?
  • What do I expect my users to get out of this content?
  • What will the call to action be as a result of this content?
3)  People quickly scan and make snap judgements.  Don't clutter.

4)  Content is not only text. It's also video, imagery, social interactions, and the metadata that underlies it all.

5)  Your content should be valuable, useful, desirable, accessible, credible, findable, and usable.
