Writing Content on Broad Topics

by Sirr
2 replies
One of the keywords I am going for is very similar to a topic such as "How to produce Classical Music".

I'm usually very good at writing content, but for keywords this broad I am stumped. I'm stumped because how do you write the content for a keyword like this so that it's not too in depth that the reader loses interest, and you waste your time writing, but so that it contains enough information to fulfil their needs?

Obviously the topic "How to produce Classic Music" could span 100's of pages - there's books written on it. But the user is a beginner, they are looking to get started. They likely want enough information so that they can delve into the subject further, or even try their hand using their computer to make Classical Music.

Does anyone have any template layouts for such topics? Or any advice?

I'm struggling, and I am veering off track with this current article.

    I would have a good starting page with the complete basics - perhaps a quick historical rundown, how its done today, the tools used, and all of the most basic information they could be looking for.

    I would include index-style links at the top or bottom of the page, which give them access to more information.

    Also, there are other ways, such as having the info span several pages using a "next" button, or creating a much longer page and allowing them navigate with page anchors.

      What I've boiled it down to so far is that the user that is searching for "How to make rock music" (example) is interested in making their own rock music, but they don't have the tools, or knowledge to create it themselves.

      So, it's all boils down to is the user looking for an in depth explanation, or just looking for quick tips and advice on what they need to get started?

      I'm going with the latter I think. If it was the first, then I can judge that based on the feedback and response from the latter article. And if they want more information, and in depth knowledge - which would require a lot of time for me to write - this could be sold as a course?

      There's a genre of music I am an expert in. So the articles on my site are more aimed at offering tips, tricks, and straight to the point tutorials. It's just this one keyword generates some nice numbers that I have to hit it as it fits my niche. It will drive a lot of traffic to my site. But I need to ensure the content isn't cheesy, or too short, or too long, so that the user is compelled enough to check out the rest of my site, or subscribe.

      I hope I'm on the right tracks.

      I've created my rough draft at 800 words. I still feel there's something missing, but I'm going to run over a second draft tomorrow.

      It's defiantly been one of the the longest articles I've written in terms of the time and thought taken to write it.
