Content is King.\u00a0<\/strong>It\u2019s a common saying in the business world, but it\u2019s true. <\/strong><\/em>But here’s the thing…It is not just “content” that is king; it’s quality content that gets the royal treatment. The quality and type of the content you post online plus creating content faster is more important than ever.<\/p>\n

Especially important with all the changes Google has made in the last few years… but even if you don\u2019t depend on Google for traffic, the next best source of traffic (actually, it\u2019s probably even more important than Google for most people) is viral traffic, and people don\u2019t share crappy content. If you want to get traffic from social media without paying for it, you must be posting great content.<\/p>\n

But creating solid, shareable\u00a0content takes a lot of time and effort. Fortunately, there are actually ways to reduce the time it takes to create great content. There are even ways to cut out the need to write content altogether, although you can\u2019t get away with having no written content on your site unless it\u2019s already an authority site or is getting a lot of traffic from social media. Google’s spiders really need\u00a0to feed on some written content on a site and those spiders are getting to be picky eaters.<\/p>\n

In this post, you\u2019re going to learn how to create content without having to write all day every day. You\u2019ll learn about different types of post that lessen the need to write, and different types of media that Google and your visitors will enjoy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What Is Quality Content?<\/h1>\n

Alright, before we get started, we need to define what quality content actually is. You might think that quality content simply means being grammatically correct and having accurate information, but there are actually several different elements to creating quality content.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at the elements of quality content<\/h5>\n

Interesting \u2013<\/strong> Even the most useful content needs to be presented in an interesting way. Content that is boring isn\u2019t going to be read to the end, nor is it going to encourage readers to view any of your other content.<\/p>\n

Entertaining<\/strong> \u2013 Not all content has to be extremely entertaining, but if it\u2019s not useful, it should at least be funny or exciting.<\/p>\n

Useful<\/strong> \u2013 Unless your content is really interesting or entertaining in some way, it needs to be useful. Useful content like tutorials and educational material is quite popular both with readers and with search engines.[\/su_note]<\/p>\n

Well Researched<\/strong> \u2013 Your content needs to be well researched, ideally from multiple sources.<\/p>\n

Factually Accurate<\/strong> \u2013 Obviously, your content must be factually accurate. If your site gets the reputation for distributing false information, people won\u2019t come back.<\/p>\n

Grammatically Correct<\/strong> \u2013 Not only should your content be grammatically correct for readers, but also for search engines. Google can tell if your content is grammatically correct, so it\u2019s more important than ever to ensure your spelling, grammar, and punctuation are all correct.<\/p>\n

Long<\/strong> \u2013 Unfortunately, these days, Google wants long content. This change basically came about to combat all those spammy websites that were putting up 150 to 300-word articles and posts that were very basic and didn\u2019t really offer anything of value other than repeating keywords often for search engine rankings. These days, Google likes to see content that are at least 300 to 1,000 words, and up to 3,000. There\u2019s one way to avoid writing long content, and that leads us to the last element of great content.<\/p>\n

Mixed Media <\/strong>\u2013 Having other media is not only great for your visitors, but Google loves it, too. You do need to have some written content on your site, but having other forms of media is great for Google, great for visitors, and great for you!<\/p>\n

Extra Tip<\/strong> \u2013 In this day and age people are looking for content to load onto their Phones, Kindles, Nooks and Tablets that they can take with them and read later. Making your content available to readers as a PDF for consumption at a later time is a big time saving option. Time saver you say? Yes! Although this is not a tip to creating content faster, it is a tip that allows you to work less on getting the attention of the content hungry search engine spiders to bring new traffic because offering the offline option\u00a0will get traffic returning over and over just to download your content.<\/p>\n

Now that we have a basic idea of the type of content we should be creating, we\u2019re going to look at some ways to make content creation much easier…<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"CreateEasy Ways to Write “Kingly” Content<\/h1>\n

Written content is still an important part of the overall content creation process, and there\u2019s really no way to get out of writing it unless you just outsource it or have solely user-generated content on your site, especially if you want to get Google traffic. But there are ways to make the process easier, which we are going to talk about right now.<\/p>\n

\"\"Quotes<\/h1>\n

Collections of quotes on particular topics are one easy way to create content, and you can add some unique content to them by writing your take on the topic.<\/p>\n

For example, if you create a list of motivational quotes for entrepreneurs, you can let people know your personal favorite quotes and why you like each one, along with your interpretation of each.<\/p>\n

\"\"Roundups<\/h1>\n

Roundups are a very popular type of blog post these days. Readers love them, because they get to discover a lot of information about a single topic in one place, and content creators love them because they don\u2019t really have to write a lot of original content themselves other than descriptions of each item they are linking to.<\/p>\n

In case you haven\u2019t seen roundup posts, the basic process of creating one is something like this:<\/strong><\/p>\n
