Understand Your Target Audience
Before starting your blog, first, understand what your target audience wants to read. Unfortunately, many people believe that by performing keyword research, they’ll automatically create content that ranks.
This isn’t true. Content creation is more than keyword research. It entails creating content people want to read, and you can’t get that from looking at keywords. Instead, you should observe your target audience in the following ways:
- Obtain demographic information on your target audience.
- Browse your competitors and see what kinds of content they post.
- Check the SERPs for similar content and see what ranks.
If you’ve been in business long, you should know who your target audience is. Take it a step further by understanding what they’d like to read.
Perform Keyword & Topical Research
Now that you understand who your target audience is, it’s time to brainstorm relevant topics for your audience. You can do this via keyword and topical research. Keyword research is the process of discovering online search terms.
Popular keyword research tools are Moz and SEMRush. On the other hand, topical research is the process of finding online content topics. Popular topical research tools are BuzzSumo and Ahrefs.
Both of these processes go hand in hand. With topical research, you can find content topics. With keyword research, you can discover search terms to add to your content ideas.
