Checking the quality of your content

It's great if you have someone able and willing to judge your content for you, but most of us don't. so it's important that you develop the skills to be able to critique your own work. The easiest way to do that is to compare your content against a quality checklist.

Hope you find this useful. If you're a beginner you might also find my Website Checklist For Beginners useful.

HI Beverley.

What a fabulous checklist. My favorite item that I've never considered before, "Is my content share worthy". I'm keeping this in mind for all posts going forward.

Thanks for continually helping us make our content better.

Patty :)

Thanks Patty. I like that one too!

Great checklist Beverly , thanks for the value .

Thanks Anthony. Glad you like it.

Beverly,
Thanks for the checklist. I'm going to save this one for reference. By the way, what do you use to create your info graphics?
Dan

Hi Dan - Glad you like it. I use easly.ly. It's a free programme that I customise to my own requirements. How much longer it will be there I don't know. For some larger ones I do I also use piktohart - which has a free and paid service.

Great checklist Beverly! I particularly like the voice and style section. When we think about why someone chooses to read our articles vs. another author, I believe that the voice plays a very large role. I can't count the times I have been disappointed in content when someone I was following switched to PLR articles or used purchased content without putting their own voice to it. I understand the decision to use such content but it really needs to be personalized to keep your audience.

Trishw, what's a PLR article?
Thanks, Dan

Trish. I agree with you it is important to use your authentic voice when writing. However lots of people do run successful sites by outsourcing their writing - so I guest its something you have to make a personal judgement call over and somehow you need to make steps to ensure that the writing has a personal touch even if it's not your own.

Dan, PLR articles are articles (content) that can be purchased with Private Label Rights meaning you can change them in any way you wish including claiming authorship.

thank you for this. It is a tremendous help

Thank you. Glad you like it.

Another useful visual to help us make our writing better. Thank you, Beverley. Next time, though, would you put in something about a spelling, grammar, and typo check? Many of us need those in our checklist, too! I'm terrible with typos, and I don't even see them when I read my own writing.

Pat

Hi Pat
I didn't add it specifically because it's implied in the is your content correct, but I take your point and I will add it

I learned a long time ago a good way to double check for typos is to read your content backwards, from the last word backwards all the way to the first word. You will be surprised how many errors you catch editing your content in that way.

WOW! Beverley, you did it again. Great info.

Thanks Betty. Glad you like it

This was too good not to share! I shared this with my WA people on G+ and gave credit where credit is due. Then a link back to this page. :-)

Thank you - that's really kind.. Glad you like it.

Very nice Beverley. Another great to put on my wall :)

Thanks- Darlene. Hope you find it useful.

I like! Great words, especially "creating a journey for your readers" and using "your authentic voice". This is exactly what I needed this weekend, thank you.

Thanks Rick. I too think those two points are really important, and yet very easy to forget.
