Valuable content drives people to your site, positions you as an industry  expert, builds trust, and ultimately results in more sales. &ldquo;Content is king&rdquo;  is a thing for a reason.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;High-value  content&rdquo; refers to the content that people<strong> <\/strong>search for on Google. What makes it high value? Your audience finds it valuable  enough to:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"box-col\">\n<li>Engage with it (read, watch, play with, interact)<\/li>\n<li>Share it with their families, friends and  colleagues<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>That&rsquo;s  what high-value content is\u2026<em>now<\/em> how do  you create it? Follow the six tips in our High-Value Content Checklist to  create content that is search friendly and share-worthy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>High-Value Content Checklist<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE<\/strong>\n<p>Know your target inside and out. What&rsquo;s their income,  location, age, hobbies, interests, and purchase patterns? Be able to answer the  four main types of market segmentation: &ldquo;who are they?&rdquo; (demographic); &ldquo;what do  they think?&rdquo; (psychographic); &ldquo;where are they?&rdquo; (geographic); and &ldquo;how do they  act?&rdquo; (behavioral). Know what makes them tick, what worries them, what inspires  them, and even what they eat for breakfast\u2026okay, maybe not that last part, but  you should at least be able to tell things like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.golevo.com\/vegan\">whether or not they&rsquo;re a vegan<\/a>. The more you know, the better your  content.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>MAP YOUR CONTENT<\/strong>\n<p>Now that you know your audience, you need to develop your content based on  where they are in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.golevo.com\/blog\/what-are-the-three-most-critical-stages-of-the-buyers-journey-and-what-content-works-best-for-them\/\">buyer&rsquo;s journey<\/a>. Take a moment to read up on  that if you don&rsquo;t know it already\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2026you back? Great! Let&rsquo;s take a look at a content  marketing matrix.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; margin-top: 20px; padding-bottom: 5px;\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.golevo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/content-marketing-matrix.jpg\" alt=\"Content Marketing Matrix\" title=\"Content Marketing Matrix\"><\/p>\n<p>The matrix shows how different content types develop  audience awareness, nurture the lead, and finally compel them to purchase. A  well-rounded content plan should include content from each of the four  categories: Educate, Entertain, Engage, and Inspire. By casting multiple nets  (instead of just one wide net) you catch leads no matter where they are in the  buyer&rsquo;s journey. For example, if you&rsquo;re sending newsletters to a new  subscriber, strategically curate the content over your campaign, starting with  entertaining or educational pieces in the awareness stage, then inspiring or  convincing content during the purchase stage.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>CHOSE TRENDING TOPICS<\/strong>\n<p>No, you don&rsquo;t have to spend all day on TikTok to know what&rsquo;s cool (especially  since whatever you watch won&rsquo;t be cool in two days). Focus on what <em>actually <\/em>matters: Your target audience.  Pick a topic they care about <em>and<\/em> that&rsquo;s related to your product or service. For example, if you sell cars,  create a quiz around the topic: &ldquo;What kind of car is right for me?&rdquo; Naturally,  the answer(s) will be cars you sell. For inspiration on topics your target  cares about, ask your customer service team for their list of FAQs, comb  through your social media comments, interview current customers, and research  your competitors.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>BE AUTHENTIC AND REAL<\/strong>\n<p>People can tell smell a phony. Are you <em>just<\/em> trying to make a sale\u2026or do you want to genuinely help them? If your brand is  true to itself and consistent, people will embrace, trust and buy from you. For  example, if you run a restaurant, consider sharing one of your most popular recipes  (provided it&rsquo;s not super secret). You&rsquo;ll position yourself as the expert and  establish rapport with your target. Think sharing expertise might be risky?  Consider what we&rsquo;re doing with this article. Or you could go in the opposite  direction and share a story of dishes that went wrong to show yourself to be  honest and relatable. Whatever you do, keep it real.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>BECOME A STORYTELLER<\/strong>\n<p>We all LOVE a good story. Content that captures, engages and inspires people is  worth its weight in gold\u2026and sales. You can easily tell stories through  testimonials or case studies. However, there are soooo many other ways to turn  your topics into stories. Give your content its own story arc, with a  beginning, middle, and an end (spoiler alert: the happy ending is your  product). Hire a good copywriter to turn some of the most mundane material into  a good, engaging story. Don&rsquo;t just tell people about your brand; <em>tell a story<\/em> about it.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>BE CONSISTENT<\/strong>\n<p>Consistency is key to creating high-value content. Consistency builds  relationships, creates trust, and plays a key part in producing high-value  content. The more quality content you create, the more it will be seen, shared and  valued \u2026and the more likely you&rsquo;ll build a strong, loyal following with your  audience.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Feeling  overwhelmed?
