Cracking the Content Code: How to Create What Your Audience Actually Wants

If content is king, then relevance is the crown jewel. The digital world is bursting at the seams with blogs, videos, podcasts, and infographics vying for attention. The real challenge isn’t creating content; it’s creating content that resonates. So, how do you cut through the noise and produce what your audience actually wants? Buckle up, because we’re about to dive into the art and science of content resonance.

Decoding Your Audience’s Preferences

First things first: knowing your audience is like having the ultimate cheat code. You can’t just guess what they want—you’ve got to dig deep into the data. Start by analyzing the formats that are already engaging your audience. Are they clicking on your blog posts? Sharing your videos? Commenting on your infographics? Identifying which formats work best is step one in crafting a killer content strategy.

But don’t stop there! Dive into the types of topics that generate buzz. Look at the comments, likes, shares, and even the criticism. The internet is a goldmine of information; your job is to sift through it to find the nuggets that matter. If your audience is consistently engaging with content about industry trends, they’re telling you something: they want more of that!

Formats that Fire Up Engagement

Once you know what topics hit the mark, it's time to think about formats. Some audiences crave in-depth blog posts, while others are all about short, snappy videos. Maybe your crowd loves a good podcast during their morning commute or an infographic that breaks down complex data into digestible visuals. The trick is to experiment with different formats and see what sticks.

But here’s the kicker: It’s not just about picking a format; it’s about picking the right format for the right content. Some topics might lend themselves better to a blog post, while others could shine as a video or an infographic. 

Analytics: Your Secret Weapon

To truly know what content resonates, you’ve got to embrace the numbers. Metrics like page views, time on page, bounce rate, shares, comments, and conversion rates are your best friends. They tell you what’s working, what’s not, and where there’s room for improvement.

Take a closer look at your engagement metrics to identify patterns. Is there a specific type of content that always gets shared? Are there certain topics that keep users on your page longer? This data isn’t just feedback; it’s a roadmap for future content.

Refining Your Strategy

Once you’ve analyzed the data, it’s time to refine your strategy. Double down on what’s working and tweak what’s not. Remember, content marketing is not a “set it and forget it” deal. It’s an ongoing process of testing, learning, and optimizing.

Start with the Questions Your Customers Are Asking

And here’s a pro tip straight from our CEO, Josh Chiles: Start with the top five questions your customers asked you this week. Write blog posts that answer these questions in detail. Then, repurpose that content into videos, social media posts, and more. Next week, do the same thing. What were the top five questions your customers asked? That’s your content goldmine. This strategy ensures you’re always addressing real, current concerns, making your content incredibly relevant and valuable.

In a world overflowing with content, being the brand that consistently delivers what your audience wants is how you stand out. It’s about understanding, engaging, and evolving with your audience. So go ahead, crack the content code, and watch your engagement soar!
