People talk about “quality” all the time. Quality links, quality content etc., without really defining what they actually mean when they talk about quality content<\/strong>.
\n
\nMostly it’s just blather.<\/em><\/p>\n

My definition of quality content, is that it contains the specific elements which together, creates something that is magnetic <\/strong>to a viewers attention. It’s not about how the piece looks, it’s about the positive reaction of the viewer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I’ve seen companies stacked to the rafters with seemingly intelligent people spend over \u00a310k for a piece of content that is nice and shiny, only to attract 15 people. The content usually put together by a trendy young thing from Hoxton<\/a> who rides a single geared bike<\/a> and spends over \u00a350 a month on hair products.<\/p>\n

The rules of great content is still old school<\/strong>, human interest does not change because it lives online. The primal brain still sits in the driving seat.<\/p>\n

So if you sell plumbing supplies<\/a> online and get into content marketing, you become a publisher. You need to think like a publisher<\/strong>, you cannot think like someone who sells plumbing supplies.<\/p>\n

It’s the main thrust of what I teach over at Linkbait Coaching<\/a>, the trick is mostly about getting the mind set. Some are already in the mode, others have the claw their way to it. But it can be taught.<\/p>\n

Everyone can learn how to linkbait.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Look at this great piece of content, David Cameron with Pasties<\/a>. The idea is simple, the execution without fuss and yet it’s pulled in some great links with very little input. This is because the creator gets it, and I have to say that they are indeed a member of Linkbait Coaching and killing it.<\/p>\n

It may seem simple to come up with these ideas, but only if you are in the right frame of mind And I have to say that being in the right frame of mind means you sometimes have to act in a counter intuitive way when it comes to e-commerce.<\/p>\n

You can have commercial messages to be alongside a piece of linkbait but it does not help and often hinders the progress of a piece of content.<\/p>\n

It’s not just about publishing something shocking or scandalous, it must be carefully crafted and go through a set of processes that lead you to linkbaiting success.<\/p>\n

Topical, news focussed content can get a lot of links relative to the amount of effort. Right now we are going deep with the Olympics and ramping up the US Election, which looks to be a good one linkbaiting wise. If only Michelle Bachmann becomes Mitts’ running mate. Heaven!<\/p>\n

If you can’t afford the huge fees of Linkbait Coaching<\/a> membership, follow the Twitter feed<\/a>, usually one or two ideas are published each day.<\/p>\n

May your links be many and aged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
