Research Your Audience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to CoSchedule, 'successful marketers are 242% more likely to report conducting audience research at least once per quarter. And 56% of the most elite marketers conduct research once or more per month.'\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bloggers can break the mold in their writing by becoming better researchers. Knowing about your audience gives you the intel to cater to their interests and maintain their attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research comes in many different forms. You can survey your existing audience and ask them particular questions on what topics they would enjoy reading. You could review your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/why-use-google-analytics\/\">Google Analytics reports<\/a> to assess the type of blog posts people visit the most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tools like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.socialmention.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Social Mention<\/a> also can help you discover new insights. This social media search and analysis platform tracks and measures what people are saying about any topic across social channels.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/HvDHDNM9FX5p0TZPmOqsJdmybGOcWM5xDgBWKT3APpaxjVAdxRjEYBOYbmcX1x4GPyqct2-1EGsyBg1_o5msNHYfyeqZ36xIYX9V-h6NZ0kuHaO8YymO0z5l9eSHk3d1PWy7nYT3fFzkc5nZWQ\" alt=\"social mention\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>While researching, your goal is to identify themes and patterns. You want to pinpoint ideas that will debunk myths and offer inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take the time to learn about your audience. Understanding their wants, needs, and behaviors helps your write better content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-write-in-an-easy-to-read-format\">2. Write in an Easy-to-Read Format<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The reading habits of an online visitor varies from a person offline. Research shows that site visitors read <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nngroup.com\/articles\/how-little-do-users-read\/\" target=\"_blank\">20% of the text<\/a> on the average web page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your readers\u2019 intentions are only to scan your content. Some individuals are too busy to read every word. Others just want to get the high-level concepts and move to the next topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter the reasoning, be prepared to adjust your content. Best-selling author Jeff Goins offers his thoughts: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>'Sure, people can read. They just choose not to. You need to learn how to communicate to people who are functionally illiterate. Or perhaps, more appropriately, aliterate-that is, they\u2019re able to read, but just choose not to do so.'\u009d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can make your writing easy to scan by using shorter paragraphs-limiting them to no more than four sentences. You can create scannable chunks by adding multiple subheadings throughout your blog posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Draw the reader\u2019s attention to important information with numbered lists and bullet points. It\u2019s also wise to use bold and italic formatting to give your words more emphasis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no doubt that your readers will scan your content. It\u2019s up to you to assemble it in an easy-to-read format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-insert-specific-keywords\">3. Insert Specific Keywords <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Organic search is the lifeblood of generating traffic to sites. If people can\u2019t find your blog on Google, Yahoo, or Bing, it\u2019s difficult to get new visitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keywords make it possible for potential readers to land on your site. When a person types phrases in a search engine, they get directed to content related to those keywords. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consumers are searching for specific terms with a particular intent. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.impactbnd.com\/blog\/seo-statistics\" target=\"_blank\">Impact<\/a> reports that '50% of search queries are four words or longer.'\u009d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bloggers must match the searchers\u2019 intent with remarkable content that solves their problems or answers their questions. As a result, readers will locate your blog and discover relevant information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/trends.google.com\/trends\/?geo=US\" target=\"_blank\">Google Trends<\/a><strong> <\/strong>analyzes the popularity of top search queries in its search engine.

Stick to the basic search engine optimization guidelines, like adding keywords to your headers and meta descriptions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Writing for the web means getting your content seen. It all begins with including specific keywords in your work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-highlight-notable-experts\">4. Highlight Notable Experts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re often taught that writing is a standalone activity. When you\u2019re ready to write, you should go in your perfect writing space and begin jotting down as many of your own words as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, writing doesn\u2019t have to be a lonely process. Writing for the web is also about collaboration. Your audience wants to hear new perspectives from other industry experts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that you can introduce them to notable people through your blog posts. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.ghost.org\/great-blog-post-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\">John O&#8217;Nolan<\/a>, founder and CEO at Ghost, agrees:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>'Is your brain tired? Borrow someone else&#8217;s! Who do you look up to in your industry who your readers might be interested in? Drop them an email and ask if you can do an interview. Your only challenge is to come up with some interesting questions which will get your subject talking.'\u009d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose experts that your audience respects. When formulating interview questions, it\u2019s important that you touch on different topics not present on other blogs. Exceptional questions will provide a fresh perspective to your post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t limit your writing to just your ideas. When you feature thought leaders, it\u2019s a special treat for your readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-provide-actionable-steps\">5. Provide Actionable Steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Web writing shouldn\u2019t conclude like a suspense novel with a cliffhanger ending. Your audience wants actionable steps on how to move forward. Whether it\u2019s leading them to a YouTube video or the checkout cart, it\u2019s your responsibility to guide them to that goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an expert blogger, it\u2019s easy to forget that your reader lacks the knowledge you possess. So, you may slip up and write with jargon or skip important details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s perfectly fine for your first draft. But, in the editing stage, you\u2019ll want to scan for specific words or complex procedures that may hinder your readers from taking action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/iamafoodblog.com\/pork-belly-and-kale-fried-noodles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">i am a food blog<\/a> is a powerful example of how to showcase actionable steps in online writing.

When people arrive to your site, they want to know what you do and what you stand for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use your site copy to reflect a clear vision of your business. Rather than offering unnecessary details, select a primary goal that your copy will accomplish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>'It\u2019s important to give every piece of copy you write a single objective'\u00a6Focusing on one objective at a time minimizes confusion and prevents you from including extraneous text,'\u009d<\/em> writes&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/sujanpatel.com\/marketing\/17-copywriting-tips-to-boost-website-conversions\/\">Sujan Patel<\/a>, co-founder of Web Profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Targeted copy will pinpoint the solution you offer visitors.

Make the Visitor the Hero<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s set the record straight: your copy isn\u2019t about you, your business\u2019s achievements, or even your latest TV appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your desire is to transform visitors into leads (or customers), your copy must focus on your audience and their needs. All the copy should center around helping the visitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It starts with telling a great story and creating a journey that involves the visitor. Much like the movies, the copy will discuss the challenges and the triumphs of the hero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Copy isn\u2019t always about getting someone to take action. It\u2019s also about etching a unique memory into their minds. That emotion will stay with them after they leave your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-express-your-value\">8.

Craft a Compelling Call to Action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Effective copy leads visitors to your desired next step, and that\u2019s where your&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/content-marketing-101-call-action\/\">call to action<\/a> comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your website consists of several pages with different purposes. If you\u2019ve worked with marketers, they may have suggested creating pages consistent with your sales funnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, with new visitors, your goal may be to turn them into qualified leads. The call to action might convince your audience to sign up for a free ebook or checklist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While for your returning visitors who already possess interest in your products, the call to action would be a 10% coupon or a bonus gift after an initial purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter the call to action, it should speak to the audience\u2019s needs and desires. They should be eager to receive your offering and ready to move down the sales funnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-10-add-social-proof\">10. Add Social Proof<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your brand centers around perception. It\u2019s about credibility in the eyes of your future customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They want to know that your products and services are worth their hard-earned money. Moreover, visitors are curious about whether or not they should associate themselves with your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so much competition in the marketplace, sometimes the only differentiator is the prestige and external validation of your brand. People want to be affiliated with success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We buy cars to transport us from one place to another. So why would anyone want to purchase a Lamborghini or a Tesla? Because customers also seek vehicles to represent their status in society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leverage social proof, like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/small-business-online-reviews\/\">customer testimonials<\/a>, to influence your audience. <em>'<\/em>Check out this example from&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/backlinko.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Backlinko<\/a>.

Avoid Jargon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever sat in a meeting where you didn\u2019t understand anything? Everyone was talking in your native language, but every word seemed foreign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You probably felt confused or as if you didn\u2019t belong. It\u2019s an overwhelming feeling that just makes you want to stand up and exit the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s a similar feeling your visitors experience when landing on a site stuffed with jargon. They don\u2019t understand the content, so in a split second, they decide that this brand isn\u2019t for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To keep your target audience interested, you must speak their language. Instead of using unfamiliar terms, stick to words your audience knows. You can even use a refinement tool like Walter Writes AI to humanize complex phrases and rewrite AI-generated drafts so they sound more natural to readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pay attention to the words your current customers use to describe your business. Use social media to learn how your audience talks about your brand. With this insight, you can create copy that invites them into your website experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-12-experiment-with-different-versions\">12. Experiment With Different Versions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your first draft of copy isn\u2019t your last. Just like other aspects of business, the best way to learn if something works is to test it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So try not to fall in love with your copy. Remember that every word on the page is to help visitors understand you better.
