Gathering Info for Website Content

Gathering Information for Website Content

There is no way I'm going to give out my secrets to gathering website content.  Actually, I'm just getting started with my "system".  It's a work in progress.  Because it's tough, right?  It's hard to come up with original content.  It's really hard if you're lazy.  

To get the information and the stories to write great website content, you need to actually have a background in ad writing.  Why?  Because you need to know what to listen for and look for.  You need to know what kinds of questions to ask in order to get answers that are different and might actually "move" someone into have half a feeling towards you.

If you ONLY write web content for SEO... yuck.  What a crappy website to visit.  You won't get any real substance.  You'll only get the who, what, when, and where.  Well, whoopidy doo.

Websites will get far more action and people will stay longer when you have something interesting and differentiating in it.  And aren't ad writers going to be able to best write an interesting and PERSUASIVE website?  Well...not all ad writers are created equal.  It took me over 5 years to go from writing mediocre ads to "not too shabby" ads.  And then another 5 years to step my ad effectiveness (potential to bring phenomenal results to clients) up another notch or two.

Oh, you think that the best websites are the ones with the fanciest images and elements with motion and other pretty things?  I agree that a website needs to look good, but if all your website has are huge, high-quality images and close-ups, and custom buttons and 3-D icons, without good written content... then all you have are a few pretty pages on the world wide web.

If it doesn't help sell your product or service any better than most of your competitions' attempts at selling on their websites, then you haven't accomplished anything.

And if you don't know how to gather really good information from the company or small business you're building a website for... then don't start because you've just skipped over one of the most important parts.

Please don't pay for a cliche website.  Don't pay for extra SEO services if you don't need them.  It doesn't take thousands of dollars a month for most local businesses to have their website show up on Google for some strong, relevant keywords.

For sure ask around and get a few different quotes or plans from some different web and SEO companies before you decide on one.  Don't jump at something and throw money at a company just because they spammed you with an intriguing email.  Be careful.

Best thing you could probably do is give me a call and we can discuss your situation.  I'll never suggest anything to you in regards to marketing and online marketing if I don't think you need it.  Bottom line... I'm one of the most honest advertising and marketing people you'll ever meet.  And you'll realize that after just one quick meeting with me.
