My name's Michael Waller, and I'm going to be your teacher today. I've been doing content marketing since 2000 for when I owned a local service based business throughout South Jersey. It was a local cleaning company, and we started blogging, and we learned their importance of content marketing. But content marketing does you no good if somebody doesn't click on that piece of content to engage with it. Recent statistics show that 80% of people will read your headline. That means if again, your teacher here on skill share, 80% of people will actually see your class if they're typing into a search bar. Let's say they're typing in photo editing or YouTube or whatever. Maybe 80% of the people are going to see your class, but less than one in five less than 20% will ever engage with that piece of content you've put in all this hard work. That's why it's so important to take the time to come up with a very captivating headline that will actually get people toe. Wanna click? Now you've heard people talk about Clickbait. I'm not talking about Click Be. I'm talking about something that's actually going to grab somebody's attention and say, You know what? That's my problem. You've got a solution. I'm going to take time and engage with your content. So take the time to go through each of these 12 different tools. Yes, there's 12 different free tools that I'm going to share with you. I go through the each of them almost every time I come out with a piece of content. So I'm working on a new piece of content right now and we're gonna use that as an example, and I'm gonna show you how I actually go through the entire process. Now the first thing we're going to do is if you can't come up with an idea of what to write about, I'm going to show you a few tools that you can actually use, and then we're going to go into tools. How, actually greater headline for you and then headline analyzers at the end. Actually, the two last tools that we go through is part of the class project. I can warn. I want to warn you this. They're addicting. I love these two tools, and in fact, if you engage with me on Twitter, I have a class on Twitter. I'm always on Twitter sharing the score that I get. I'm so competitive when it comes with it, and I joke around with a lot of friends, and we're always trying to get the highest score. So once you try out these tools and you start practicing, you're going to get better and better. Your headlines and what I love you to do as part of this class project is pick one of the last two tools and go ahead important. I had nine for a piece of content that you're working on. Maybe it's just a, you know, a tweet that you're going to share or, ah, Facebook Post. Or maybe it's a block post. Or, if you're a teacher here in scale share, maybe it's two title for your class. So what? I love you to do is to go ahead and take a screenshot of these last two tools and share with me your score and let's see if we can work on it together to get that score up. Because again, you've got great content. Now. We just want to get people to engage with it, so I'll see you and lesson number one. 2. How to know if even people care about your content idea: Welcome to lesson number one. The very first thing you want to do before you actually go and create this sexy have done this headline that people going to click on is to make sure that the actual subject that you're going to be writing about or if it's a video on YouTube, whatever it may be, is that somebody is actually out there searching for what it is that you're about to create . And this is called keyword research. Now we go will deep into keyword research over in our S e o Class, when we talk about how to optimize a block post for S E o sos that ranks in Google. But for the purpose of this class, what I recommend doing is going in getting the free keyword tool, which is called keywords everywhere. It's a Google chrome extension. It's free again. All you need to do is to type into Google keywords everywhere extension and you'll see right up here. Here it is. So you'll notice right now that my Google search looks a little bit different than most. Why? Because I have the search volume by here in a CPC when you see a high CPC cost per click. That actually means that the people who are searching for this have buyer's intent. If it didn't have a dollar figure associated to it, it just means that people might be searching it in a large amount. So popular Hashtags people will be out there searching for popular hashtags but not going toe have, ah, high CPC. And the reason for that is that there's no buyer's intent behind it. Now, when you take a look over here, you'll see related keywords again. This is or Google search. Mine looks a little bit different because I'm using this extension. So one thing I want to show you is that my original title was going to be problem teenagers . Now what I realized is that that only had 30 searches a month now going to be doing a video and a block post in a pod cow podcast around this topic. So as they started looking over here, what people are also searching for, I realize that the word difficult was something that people are looking for. So if they're searching for difficult and I have difficulty teenagers, not only is that good from an S CEO standpoint. But it's good because psychologically, when somebody sees what they're typing into the search bar and it says that that's a pain, I have difficult teenagers. They're more likely to click if I have that in my headline. So that's pardonable on that step Number one. Go get keywords everywhere and we'll see you in the next lesson. 3. Will My Content Match Headline (7 Awesome Free Tools): welcome back to lesson to in this US, and what we want to do first is make sure that we actually know what the content is that we're writing about. A lot of folks will write a headline first, because again, that's so important. 80% of people see the headline. Let someone enter five will click on it so you have to have a really good had nine. But you also need to have an idea when creating the headline to know what that content is going to be about. So we already did the keyword research in Lesson number one now here in lesson number two. What we want to do is have a general idea of what direction are we going to take this block post in? Is it going to be about how to whatever it may be how to deal with difficult teenagers? Or is it going to be something different? So you really need to have a general idea of some what's go through a few of my favorite tools that can help you come out with an idea, because what you don't want to do is have a great headline and people click on it and they come over in. The headline doesn't match up with, actually, the piece of content that's called Clickbait. People just gonna back and go back to Google on that sends a negative signal to Google. So you don't want a lot of folks clicking on your website. Anything jumping back out? That's not good. Number one. Number two. That's a former fake news, and it's just not ethical. So here's the first told that I would recommend its answer the public. What I do like about answer. The public is a integrates nicely with keywords everywhere. So when it gives you suggestions, I will also tell you when you school the way to the bottom of it is, are people actually searching for this entire suggestion that they make to you? So answer public scrape. The one downside also ah, with answer public die tone like he's actually quite funny. There is that it doesn't give you a lot of US opportunities to do a lot of searches. They're going to try to up sell you into their products so you can use it two or three times, I believe. And then after that ah, you have to wait 24 hours. So let's go to the next tool, which is called Swipe worthy. It's swiped W s I p e d dot co love this tool. What it's doing is you can see right here you just can go through and scroll down and find your niche. So, uh, I am going to be writing a little bit about education, but also parenting. And what's interesting, then, is it's going to pull some of the best headlines ever. The best landing pages, the best, ah, swipe, worthy content out there in education. So if I want to click on this right here and save you the swipe, finish reading in store our free mobile app and so you can see here it's going to start having comments on why it's interesting and what's knee is at the bottom. It gives you the key, takes takeaways of why this is swipe worthy and what's good about it. So what's interesting and why I like looking at this is you can kind of if you have the key word that you're going to write about. Maybe you can actually find a had nine that's been proven to already succeed and do very well. Eso Sometimes this might not work for you. Ah, but a lot of times I love using it for coming up with headlines or even landing pages. Tip number three would be taking a look and just going to good old Google. Now, first off, you can also do this, and I recommend doing this any time. You're in a check out line and you're waiting on line. If you're not talking to somebody there, take a look at the magazine headlines. I love when I go to Barnes and Noble's taking a look at the actual headlines of and magazine these individuals that right, these headlines are very good individuals that some of the top magazines out there can get paid almost up to seven figures to come up with a headline. Why? Well, this is what gets somebody to actually engage and by the magazine or these titles right here. So you can either type in to Google and then goto images a magazine in your niche if you want to. So obviously ah, we're doing an education and parenting advice so I could type in Parenting magazine, which is popular in or niche, and then I can start scrolling through and saying, Okay, well, wears something interesting, right? And, uh, let's see, Here is an example up. So Jessica Alba let me just in largest police. He could see this, and it says gets honest. Okay, so Jessica Albert gets honest about difficult teenagers now. Obviously her Children aren't teenagers yet, so that when it makes sense for this article, But when you use somebody that's in the news, you will tend to get a lot more clicks. I will give me an example of. Recently I wrote a post about how ah Melinda and Bill Gates parent their Children and because they used their names in the headline. It did really very well last year. He did one about Steve jobs with his daughter, and that did very well also. So if you can use a celebrity in your head, nine extra bonus points. But what I worry again, like doing with this is you can just scroll through and start seeing Ah, maybe you also get ideas. It might not be for this piece of content when you're coming out with that had nine, but what I like to do is I keep a spreadsheet. It's actually ah Trela board that they keep of headlines and topics. I want to write about going forward.
