Making Content Better Than Unique

Unique content is something all of us in internet marketing strive to create. We know the words must be phrased and woven differently from other web pages to make them rise in the search engines’ standings. That is not all there is to it, however. In my perception, unique content means offering information in a way that is different, more valuable or unique in a conceptual way.

Think about What You Consider Unique

If you love to read, you have probably read thousands of books in your lifetime. Let’s say your personal preference is mystery novels. Would you continue to read more of them if each one had the exact same storyline or plot, just written in different words? Probably not. That is why you read the dust cover before you select a book. You want to experience something singular and new.

The consumers you are trying to lure to your website are no different. They, too, want to see something new and diverse. Once they have read the same information repeatedly, they are no longer interested in reading it again, even if it is written with different terminology. You have to come up with a new plot twist that pricks their interest or teases their curiosity. After all, you don’t want to settle for a little-read book that just lies on the shelf gathering dust. You want to create a bestseller!

Twist and Shout

When you discover a way to give your content a twist, you’re on your way to being able to shout about your success. Study your competitors and find a new angle to make your content stand out from the crowd. Make your battle cry “Vive la difference!”

Make Your Ad Hit Its Target

No matter how many clicks you get on your ad, none of them are beneficial to you if those clicks turn out to be time wasters. How can you get more people clicking on your ad that are actually potential customers? The answer lies in finding the right target.

Who is Your Perfect Customer?

Think about what you are offering. Do you have a clear picture in your mind of who would want your product or service? Whom will it benefit? Whose life will it make easier? Who has a problem that your product will solve? Write down the type of people you think would buy your product, then take a long, hard look at those folks. These are your perfect customers. How old are they? Are they men or women? Are they parents? Where do they live? What is their income level? All of these things, known as demographics, are clues to planning a successful PPC campaign.

Put Demographics to Work for You

Once you have determined who your target market is, put the information to use. Write your ad to appeal to the people who fall into that category. If you have determined that your target market is married women over 40, you need to use a different writing style than you would for single men between 18 and 25. Keep your target audience in mind when choosing keywords, titles and niches. Demographics can be one of the most powerful marketing tools you will ever use when you use the information wisely.
