Have you ever wondered why some things get a lot of attention online while others don't?
I've spent time on social media and created content for various businesses. I realized that good content isn't random; it becomes good because of specific rules that make it special.
I've been on social media both as a user and as someone who creates content for different companies. Through this experience, I've learned important insights about creating engaging content. In this blog, I'm excited to share these insights with all of you. We'll delve into why the content we create can be either great or not so good.
I get that Hive isn't a social media site by itself; it's the different apps inside Hive. (Feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken.)
We use these apps to share information with others and, naturally, to get noticed. Whether it's about travel, food, gaming, or anything else, we share these things because we want others to pay attention.
But what if people don't notice what you share? That means your content might not be good enough or it might not be in the right place.
So, if you want to make really good content, here are the things you should consider.
It's all about the idea!
Think of your idea as a special ingredient that makes your content extra exciting. Without it, your stuff might seem a bit dull.
So, where do you get these great ideas?
The answer is easy: from everywhere! From funny things that happen to you, to stuff you've done, or even questions that make you wonder.
Why Do Ideas Matter?
Imagine this: if you told your friends to watch a movie, but you didn't give them any details, they might be unsure, right? It's like asking them to jump into something without knowing what it is. The content is similar. Your idea is like a sneak peek or a preview of the exciting journey your audience will go on. It gives them a hint of the fun and interesting things they'll experience.
So...
Before you start writing, filming, or creating something, take a moment to think of an idea that makes you say, "Wow, that's cool!" This is where you begin. If the idea makes you feel enthusiastic, it's likely to do the same for your audience. Your idea is what makes people fasten their seatbelts and get ready for the journey. Without a strong idea, your content could be like a car without an engine – it won't take anyone to exciting places.
The more ideas you come up with, the better your chances of finding that one awesome idea that will make your content shine.
Length of your content
When we make articles or videos, some people think longer is always better. But that's not always true!
Some people believe that if the content is very long, it's automatically better. They think more words mean more important info. But that's not always right. Having lots of details is good, but making something very long can confuse readers or viewers and make them lose interest.
The most important thing about good content isn't how long it is. It's about how well it helps people who read or watch it. Imagine you're trying to solve a problem, and you find an article that takes a long time to get to the main point. That can be frustrating, right?
Creating good content isn't just about making it long. It's about helping you and being interesting. So, next time you create content, remember that keeping it short and to the point can be powerful too. Clear and brief content shows you respect your audience's time. Simply making valuable content is the real secret to creating great stuff.
Visuals
- In the online world we live in, using pictures and drawings is super important when you're making things like articles or posts. They make your content more fun to look at and easier to remember, showing feelings and ideas quicker than just words. But, it's really important to find a good balance – using the right number of pictures that match and are good, so they help your content but don't make it too messy. Picking the right pictures, like cool photos or clear drawings, can help explain hard ideas and lead your audience through a nice experience that makes them understand and like your stuff more, and even want to do things like share it or learn more.
Be Unique
- It's cool to have your ideas. Like when a chef surprises everyone with a new dish at a buffet, being unique gets attention. Online, being different from the rest is key. It's not about making everything new, just freshly looking at things or sharing personal stories. In the noisy online world, unique ideas shine a spotlight on your content. It sparks curiosity, starts discussions and makes a loyal group of fans. Remember, it's worth going off the beaten path for quality.
Value
Good content isn't about following the same rules for everyone. It's about making something that connects with people, gives them something useful, and stays in their minds for a long time.
In the end, your content should be helpful to the people you're sharing with. Think about their problems and try to solve them, or share helpful information that makes them know more or have better experiences. When the people you're talking see how your idea helps them, they'll be more likely to enjoy it and tell others about it.
That's it for today, I'm still thinking of what useful stuff to share on this platform. but I plan to share more things like this one soon. So, if you enjoy this kind of content, don't forget to follow. Have a nice day! ♥️
