Creating quality content is something anybody working online needs to do to engage people in order to attract them to their website or blog. Circulating useful information is a great way to draw attention to your business and is very effective due to its ability to go viral. Once published anything you have created can be picked up by just about any person or business and continually passed along to others. Of course how widely it is distributed, and for how long, is based upon people perceiving it to be quality information that they or others may find a use for or interest in. So what goes into your content creation efforts that makes what you produce so 'special' and long lasting in regards to it being circulated online?

Here are 3 components to include in the content creation process of any information to make it interesting and keep it circulating for a longer period of time. Remember the longer it circulates the longer it continues to work for you!

Informative/Useful

Any information you circulate online needs to spark an interest with people. This can mean it is informative, insightful or even humorous as long as t captivates the reader. In most cases when working online you want to circulate useful information to help further 'educate' readers on what it is you represent.

Timeless

Content creation takes some effort to do correctly so if you want to get the most out of it you want to produce something that will retain its value to readers over time. The longer it retains it value the longer it will continue to 'work' for you!

Relevant

What ever you choose to develop and publish to represent your business or interest always be sure it has some type of relevancy to what it is you do. Now there are different 'degrees' of relevancy and some are not as direct as others. That is alright because 'direct' relevancy is not necessary all the time. In fact readers usually want to know more about the subject so you will need to 'expand' upon it anyway.

Circulating quality content when working online is a highly effective way to generate attention and traffic to your place of business. Distributing useful information people find of interest has the potential to be circulated to many far reaching corners of the internet. In fact if what you produce is seen as quality information, others may even use it for their own business as well! Having a link back to your site within the content makes this free advertising for you and is what makes this strategy so powerful. Since the content creation process can be somewhat labor intensive, you do want to be sure that anything you produce contains some or all of the components we spoke of above. In this way, you will get the best results for the efforts you invested.
