Top 10 Ways to Create Content Your Customers Want
  1. Live-blog any events you can attend or ask your team to live-blog any events that cover your industry topics. This is one of my favorites. I regularly watch blogs live blogging big events I’m interested in. It adds a lot excitement and its helps you readers not only keep on the cutting edge of your niche, but also build a relationship with you. It’s like they are there beside you talking with you about the event. It’s a great experience for the reader and provides for some really great content.
  2. Get a transcript of any press releases or executive speeches related to your niche and turn them into a blog post. This will help you keep up to date yourself as well as keep your blog and your readers up to date on any changes or new finds in you niche.
  3. Find the most shared infographics in your niche. Infographics are are graphic visual representations of information intended to present complex information quickly and clearly. Everyone learns differently and by utilizing graphics you can increase the level of interaction and reader retention.
  4. Interview your employees/collegues and ask them to answer simple questions such as who they are, what they do and how it serves your customers.

Getting on the same level and building rapport with your customers is one of the most important things you can do. Let your customers/readers know that there are actually humans behind the desk.
