5 Best Practices for Creating Engaging and Actionable Content

NEW YORK, May 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- If you intend to attract new customers through your website, don't repel readers with uninspired corporate jargon and overstated sales pitches. Your content should be focused on information that is beneficial to your audience and will persuade them to take actions that generate greater awareness of your messages or lead prospects further down the marketing funnel. When writing content for your website, be sure to:

• Start with a headline that connects emotionally to the reader and indicates how this information will improve their lives
• Include photos and videos whenever possible to make your content visually appealing
