How To Create Value

Focus on: Creating Value

Hey Robin,why do I want to create value

in the first place?

Can we review this?

You need to create valueso that:

a. People find something useful on your site and

b. Want to come back for more

c. You can start engaing them and having conversations

c. Search engines like you more

OK Robin,but besides publising articles

and blog postshow do you create real value?

The proper way to think,when considering what “value” items to create, is to look at

a. what your readers would appreciate most first, and then

b. what you can use of the assets you have that could match that need.

For example:

your readers may want to know how YOU do certain things or how to achieve something specific,

and you may have material you have used internally or for other courses you have done that you could customize and update for this very purpose.

Content Format Types

Ok, now I understand... Cool.

But HOW do I know which type of “value” content

is best to use?

1. What your audience wants(You need to ask them)

2. What the competition doesn’t do

3. What is not easy for others to replicate

4. What you know well or are very passionate about

5. What you have already built assets on that you can at least in part re-use

Criteria for selecting what content to create

Select “value” based on:
