Content is King in the Online World

Sep 3, 2009 2:43 pm by Matt Haller

You are asking yourself seriously, content is that important, well this does assume that you have already developed a great product and are now in need of a great website.

Many people have websites but the one thing that is often missed when creating the sitemap for a website is that the site needs to be designed to sell your product. I am not saying you need to sell your product online (while for many companies that is a must) for some an e-commerce site isn't necessary but the focus on selling your product must still be there.


The biggest thing to remember is that you should have one purpose and that is getting the visitor to your website to take action. The best way to do this is with content. Think about it words are the most powerful marketing tool you have. Making sure that the right words are used will help you turn a visitor to your website into a customer. Just as important to make sure you don't have the wrong words as then you will turn off that visitor and lose a sale.


Contemplate sometime for a moment.....your words and the words you use are at the core of your business. It is the way you describe your product, the way someone perceives your product it is all through words. While fancy graphics are nice and necessary and visual-based customers love them - they don't work without words.


So understanding this, your website needs to make sure that every word, sentence and headline should have one specific purpose -- to lead your potential customer to make a purchase. Some good things to remember is that you should write your web site copy as if you are talking to just one person. Identify the potential obstacles and validate that you have solutions for them. Make sure you explain why your product is the solution to their problem. Tell them exactly what your product will do for them -- why it will solve their need and how. Pack your copy with benefits and more benefits. Write to persuade -- that's the bottom line.
