Content is King





When experts say that content is king, they mean it. If any content catches your eye, you will look at it. The catchy headlines, the pretty pictures and funny videos that you see on the internet everyday are examples of just that. The people generating this content want it to be seen, to be heard and the way to do that is to make sure the content is good.

The Smartican Show (www.smartican.com/thesmarticanshow) for example, finds out how much India knows about what is going on. Things like Independence Day trivia, how the law and order of the country could be better and some light hearted questions about their ideal significant other. It allows the people watching to see how much they know, and raise awareness on sensitive issues.

It is understood that content is good if it evokes responses from its viewers or readers or listeners. A written piece should make you want to read more at the end, an image should make you want to see it in real life and a video should make you think about the message it’s putting across.  Any successful website has content that users want to look at.

The idea is to bring the content to the people is how one starts and if it’s good enough people will come to the content. Sabki Shruti (www.smartican.com/shruti) started out by bringing Indian pop culture love out of us and has slowly become one of the biggest reasons that users come to our website. It is the perfect example of how good content can be the driving force of any website.

Just remember, good content makes the audience content.
