What is “good content,” and how do I create it?
Ankush from Quora asks:
What is “good content,” and how do I create it?
Good content matches the searcher’s intent. It answers the real question behind the search while coming from someone with the actual authority to speak on it.
In short: Do something, then share what you learned.
Bad content is the exact opposite. It’s unhelpful, heavily biased, and usually written by some rando who hasn't actually done the thing they’re talking about. It’s self-focused and lacks any real intent to help the reader.
How: Stop trying to "write." Instead, focus on documenting. If you have no experience, you have no authority. If you have no authority or life experience related to the topic, do something first.
Examples of good content:
Diabetes Management: Instead of a medical textbook, it’s someone living with the condition sharing exactly what worked (and what failed) in their daily routine.
3D Printing: Instead of a sales pitch for a 3D printer, it’s an enthusiast who has printed 500 DIY gadgets sharing tips for weekend projects.
If you want to create good content, go out and get your hands dirty first. Then, tell us how it went.
