Content creation is one of those realities a blogger and marketer has to engage with and appreciate when hoping to gain natural, organic traffic – and for the long term.

It is not going to happen overnight and this is a given. However, with a little bit of care and patience, the results will start rolling in.

What are some of the most effective ways content creation can help drive in natural traffic?

Let’s take a glance at 15 specific ways experts state content creation will lead to increased traffic numbers. Why not make the most of these ways to get better results?

And, best of all – you can borrow these tips and use in your own campaigns.

(IMPORTANT: Before you begin, always research, develop your initial strategy and plan for the best quality content you can provide. Content and topics that create emotion, content that engages, entertains and informs are keys to “share-ability”. The love you’ll get back from your readers…and eventually search engines, creates new and ongoing organic traffic streams for your business).

1 – The Virality Of Memes

Memes are one of the most powerful options a person can have when it comes to driving natural traffic.

It is easy to read and fun for those who are just looking to relax and get a generalized view of what is being put in front of them. Memes have done the trick for the past few years because they have the ability to go ‘viral’.

There are entire blogs that have put up one meme and that was all they needed to get millions of new people on board.

Now, this is, of course, the dream.

That does not always happen. However, the goal should be to mix things up and that is what content creation is all about.

It does not just have to be a wall of text that is tossed at prospective traffic. Memes will do a lot, especially when combined with social media to create something truly powerful.

2- Videos & Streaming Data

Who doesn’t like the idea of being able to sit down and take a glance at some of the videos that are being put up in their niche?

There are times when you might even take a look at what a competitor has published and just love what they have done (ideas!). Videos are great because once again content creation does not, and should not have to be about text only.

Plus, you can use a transcription service and get further leverage of text for your use. (Rev.com is another great solution here)

It is all about moving forward and getting with the times, people!

This is where creating short videos will help a lot in conveying a message and getting people to come onto your site as desired. It is not as tough as one might assume and can go a long way.

Educational, informative and fun. Think about edutainment.

It is essential to understand with this way natural traffic is only going to come based on their first impression. If you optimize YouTube videos correctly, you’ll rank those also.

This means, the video better be spot on especially in the first few seconds. Don’t rush through this part of the process and make a good video first.

3 – Infographics Yield Quality

There are many prospective visitors who are going to want quality information being provided to them especially in niches where information is hard to locate.

When you are able to give this to them, they will race in and keep coming back repeatedly. Quality does matter and that is where infographics come into action.

They are able to list down a lot of information without going off on a tangent.

Content creation is all about taking information and presenting it in a unique and ‘cool’ manner.

Well, there is nothing more exciting and modern than a great infographic. Take your time with this as it is going to yield fascinating results as it has for numerous people online in the past.

Venngage is a great place to start.
