7 Ways to Find What Your Target Audience Wants and Create Epic Content | Search Engine Journal | Content Creation, Curation, Management | Scoop.it

Great content sells. It converts. It helps with SEO. And sometimes, it works like magic: it goes viral, creates traffic inflow, and helps you achieve your goals. But what exactly is great content? How do you produce something so great it’ll go viral and help you achieve your goals? The Internet is inundated with a lot of similar-looking content. This very article might sound similar to something you’ve seen before. Unique content is hard to produce, and it’s getting harder by the day as more websites grasp the importance of content marketing. In view of all this, how do you produce great content that stands apart from the rest? Answer people’s needs....

The State of Digital Content [Infographic]

The State of Digital Content [Infographic] | Content Creation, Curation, Management | Scoop.it

In light of the increasing popularity of digital devices, video, and social networks, how has digital content readership changed?

 

To answer that question, Uberflip researched key usage data from February 2010 through February 2013 using Google Analytics and Uberflip Metrics then created the following infographic.

 

Other trends that Uberflip noticed in the digital content readership include the growth of mobile content consumption and the focus on content being shareable.

Mobile content consumption makes up one-fifth of global traffic. (Desktop traffic continues declining steadily.) Case in point, in February 2013, 21% of visits were from mobile devices, while just three years earlier, only 1.6% of visits were. The number keeps growing with every year.

 

Mobile content isn't the only type of content to gain popularity. Video has also grown astronomically in the past three years. In February 2010, only a lowly 6% of users were incorporating video into their digital content. However, in February 2013, the number had almost grown quadrupled; 22% of users are now incorporating video in their digital content.

 

With more and more people turning to digital content, those folks want their content to be easily shared. In February 2010, people preferred to share content via email. However, now in 2013, the number of folks sharing content via email has decreased from 93.3% in 2010 to 53.3% in February 2013. What gobbled up the percentage there was Facebook, which grew from 3.4% users sharing content via the social platform in 2010 to 27.4% in 2013.

4 Innovative Ways to Use Web Video for Small Business

4 Innovative Ways to Use Web Video for Small Business | Content Creation, Curation, Management | Scoop.it

You've seen videos of people doing ridiculous things on the Internet. But you probably haven't seen too many videos of small businesses sharing their good work. Web video is more or less the domain of the ridiculous — whether that means something cute or something painful. Even top ads and commercials have a touch of the absurd (Old Spice, Dos Equis, I'm looking at you). So how does a small business compete with disturbingly low attention spans and a whole Internet of viral videos? Read on for five ways that small businesses can take advantage of web video without blowing their budgets and let us know your own success stories in the comments below....

wanderingsalsero's curator insight, May 20, 12:55 AM

All good ideas. 

 

A dance studio could ask students to make a "Vine" (a brief "Twideo") video after an evening of using some cool moves (learned at the studio) on the dance floor on Saturday night.  Put a 'plug' in for the studio.  That would be great advertising for the studio.

Make your website user friendly with core building blocks

Make your website user friendly with core building blocks | Content Creation, Curation, Management | Scoop.it

I tend to keep an eye on the UK’s most popular websites (Alexa is a good source for this data), as I know that my clients and their customers are likely to be familiar with their navigation features, tools and interfaces.

 

There is a risk that creating something ‘too new’ or ‘too different’ can give rise to negative user feedback, a recent case in point being Microsoft® Windows 8 lacking a Start button.

 

For most projects, delivery timescales are tight and there isn’t time to experiment with wild and fanciful navigation.

 

More importantly, users want to find things quickly. They don’t want to have to ‘learn’ how to use your site, it should be intuitive to them.

 

Caveat: if you are in a role or on a project where you need to set a completely new trend then this article isn’t for you!

 

Adopting popular navigation rhetoric is a sure way to deliver both familiarity and current ‘best practice’ both of which drive swift user acceptance.

 

I’ve pulled together some good examples that high-traffic sites are using, which can be viewed as ‘building blocks’ for user friendliness. These interfaces work well and are ideal for adoption into your own prototypes and for using as part of rationale development.
