Types of Content and When They Are Best Used to Advertise Your Business

By Theresa Delgado


There are basically 4 main categories of content on the internet: text, graphics, video and audio. Each of these kinds of content has its own benefits and drawbacks, with each appealing most to different audiences.

The more you understand your market the more likely you will be able to create content that they answer to and that you love producing. Producing content shouldn't come to you as a task, it should be something that comes to you naturally and that honestly you savour.

Here's an outline of each of these 4 kinds of content and when they should be used.

Written Content

This is easily the most typical sort of content on the internet. Pretty much every webpage you see is reliant on text content.

One of the largest positives of text-based content is that it's extremely search engine friendly. Search sites do not understand videos or audios, but they definitely can understand text.

For instance, if you are running text-based content you stand an excellent chance of ranking.

It also needs less preparation to make text content. You do not need mikes or videos, or pricey graphic editing programs. All you need to do is type.

Graphic-Based Content

The key sort of graphic-based content online is infographics. These are essentially graphics that contain information in and of themselves.

One of the largest benefits of infographics is that it's frequently more entertaining and educational than just text.

For instance, if you're illustrating the history of a war, it's much more alive to really have graphics than merely to explain it in words.

Audio

Audio content has actually taken off ever since the iPod became popular.

Previously audio content was consumed in cassette or CD format. That was both pricey and quite a lot of trouble, and it just was not that in demand as a format.

But today, people can catch audios anywhere they go. In the auto, on the bus, while walking, at lunch, and so on. It saves time and is extremely convenient. Audio content works really well for many organizations.

Video

Video content is one of the most dynamic startegies of distributing content on the web. You can put funny content, informational content, interesting content, hi-tech content, personal content - almost anything you can think about.

Video content also has some of the strongest "share culture." It's very easy to share video content with pals on Facebook for example.

A video has a far higher possibility of going viral than say an audio podcast.

The one downside to visual content is that it does take more effort to supply. You first need to shoot the video, edit the video and finally render the video. The complete process could take many hours, not just 30 minutes to author a piece.

What Next...

So which content format is appropriate for you and your business? It really relies on what type of content you are producing and who your market is. There's no harm in trying all four different sorts of content and seeing which one(s) your audience reacts the best to.

If on the other hand, you need some assistance in creating content for your market, there are affordable options. PLR or Private Label Rights content can be a huge time saver for the entrepreneur. There are a variety of PLR articles available too. So, if you target the home business market and need home business PLR, there are quality sources for you to explore.
