What Readers would want to read?
64
As I have want to increase traffic in my HubPages, I’ve been interested in “What people might want to read?” and so I said to myself, why don’t I just make a hub out of my research and share it to others as well, especially to new hubbers like me. Let’s start with what would interest your reader.
Instructional
Readers want to read most of the “How to’s”. People want to have an alternative for everything, especially when the one’s they know is not working perfectly for them. Detailed direction on procedure is always a winner. Not only professional or experts can do this, even the simplest person may discover something that suits well and might think of sharing it, for others to try if it will suit them as well.
e.g.
Inspirational
Everybody needs a driving force every now and then. Our mood lightens up every time we read something that is inspiring especially during the times when we are down and miserable.
e.g.
Informative
Readers wanted to be updated on the new stuff all the time. It may be about current events or maybe about the latest gadgets on the market or about the latest innovations. Whatever it is, people want to be informed.
e.g.
Now it’s not enough that you know what might interests your readers, it would be better if you’ll know what would drive them into reading your stuff.
*Write something that you yourself would want to read
Ask yourself if you would see this particular topic, would you be interested to read it. It is not enough that it’s instructional, inspirational or informative. It should also be timely and sensible.
*Readers want to read shorter but juicier content
Most people will not waste hours in just reading one article. When they want to know something, they would rather get an answer in an instant.
*Readers want to read simpler text
Sometimes it’s nice to brag about
how rich our vocabulary is, but we must consider that not everybody will
appreciate reading complex wordings. Choosing simpler words will work best
especially that World Wide Web, obviously is for the whole world and not just for the English speaking territory.
*Readers are more attracted to an article with Pictures or Videos
Admit it; it’s a bit boring to read a book with no pictures in it, same goes with an article or a blog with purely text on it.
I guess that’s it unless you have some other things that you may want to add, you can also share it to me so that I can include it in my personal list. Well now in my two days of stay here in HubPages, here are some of the few hubs that had caught my attention and inspired me to become a better hubber.
- 50 Ways To Make Money Online
I made a hub called 20 ways to make money online not too long ago. Now I present a new study conducted by myself that shows 50 ways to make money online. There is sure to be something included that can appeal...
I also like the works of Lela Davidson and Dottie1. Of course there are lots of other wonderful hubs and hubbers out there, but they are just too many to mention. And I still need to explore HubPages more.
Until my next hub, I hope I can come up with a hub that is worth reading. I hope this one does.
After 5 months!
eIn my five months of stay here in HubPages a lot of hubber comes and a lot of 'em go. I may not always be around but here are some of the hubber friends that stay close in my heart: teacher Michelle or Ripplemaker, teacher Susan Ng, Dottie, anglnwu, GeneralHowitzer, Ms. Daisy B. as in Dayzeebee. They are not just good writers but very lovable and inspirational individuals as well. =)

I agree with your list of what readers want to read and found it definitely worthwhile my read.
I just read a hub this week about what we owe our readers. I hope you don't mind me leaving the link here. I think it is something we can all benefit from.

Thanks, Charia. This is some advice I think most good writers would agree on. I myself love simple, tangible and credible hubs. You mentioned that you keep track of the people you've fanned. I'm trying to do that too. :)
