With the right approach, you can create long-form content that is informative, engaging, and valuable to your learners. We have put together a few helpful tips on how to make creating long-form content an easy task.
Before you start writing, you need to define the goal of your content. What do you want to achieve with this piece of content? Do you want to educate your learners, inform them about an innovation within your industry, resolve a paint point learners may face or start a meaningful community conversation with them? Having a clear goal in mind will help you stay focused and ensure that your content is effective.
Research is a crucial part of creating great long-form content. You need to gather all the information you need to make your content informative and valuable. This includes reading relevant articles, books, and reports, interviewing experts, and conducting surveys. The more research you do, the better your content will be. If you reference articles, books, and reports, don’t forget to include your sources.
Once you have done your research, it's time to plan your structure. A well-structured piece of content is easier to read and understand. You should create an outline that covers all the main points you want to make, and break down the content into sections or subheadings. This will help you stay organized and ensure that there is a good flow to your content.
Long-form content can be intimidating to readers, so it's important to write in a conversational tone. Use simple language, and avoid jargon where possible, if you have to use jargon, make sure to explain what it means so it isn’t confusing, and write as if you're talking to a friend. This will make your content more engaging and easier to understand.
