5 Content Writing Techniques To Enable Conversions

The web is full of thousands of websites offering some kind goods and services. But only a few are popular and have established themselves as the big name in this competitive world. So what makes them stand out from the rest? Through a recent research it has been found out that the attention span of today’s digital content consumer is not more than 8 seconds. Hence, in such a short span of time, it is expected of the business owners to convince customers that they convert.

While graphics, website design and other visuals play an important role in leaving an impact on the users, it is the content that speaks to them, which is why it is said that “content is king”. In today’s time, having strong and persuasive content is very important for your website to flourish. While some content drives conversions, others are just lost in achieves. Therefore as a marketer you have to make sure that the content written for your website should be persuasive enough to convert users into leads and ultimately a paying customer. There are a number of factors that make a content strong, communicative and connect with their readers.

So here are 5 content writing techniques that a website content writer should follow:

Craft A Catchy Title

The title is the face of a content and therefore it the most important element that influences in user engagement. If the title of your write-up is not captivating and interesting enough, 7 out of 10 people won’t even bother reading the rest of the content. Hence as a website content writeryou should make sure that the title is enticing. There are number of factors that contribute in making a title great. With the correct word balance and right character length you can compose an amazing title.

Keep The Language Simple

Usage of too much of technical terms and a bland narration will not interest the readers to read your whole write – up. Therefore present the content in a storytelling manner so that the readers are captivated and hooked. A simple narration helps people to relate it with themselves. Thus longer the engagement, users will be more and more interested in the products and services that you are offering and ultimately they get converted. 

Use Graphics And Images 

Most of the people who surf through websites do not have the time to go through a long content. Website visitor at the max spends 15 seconds or less on any particular website. This means that people skim through the content rather going through every word therefore professional content writers use powerful images and statistics, graphs and pie chart. This makes it easy for users to scan the content easily and get the important information that you want to deliver. To make you content more scannable, it is best to use short paragraphs containing not more than 4 sentences, use bullet points and data in graphs etc. 

Provide Information In Digestible Portions

Feeding too much of information to the website visitors confuses them and they tend to abandon the content mid-way. Hence, it is best to break down big chunks of information, so that readers can understand everything. To do that, make sure that the content you are writing has a list with headings and sub-headings, so that they can read gradually and absorb the information. This way, it also stays in their mind for a longer period of time.

Add Call To Action

 The ultimate goal of writing these contents is to convert the visitors; hence the best way to do that is to add a call to action in the end of your content. You need to create urgency through your content and make the user realize the importance of the product you are selling. You can use email subscription or create library which is accessible only to the people who sign up. These factors greatly contribute in converting a client.

A powerful content is enough to persuade website users to convert. It creates emotion and evokes desire for whatever the seller is offering thus making them want it. Once you start generating good content on your website, visitors would feel connected and certainly return.
