How do you create pillar content?

Creating pillar content is one of the most important undertakings for a high-ranking website that gives readers value.

However, the creation of the content should be rushed. Careful curation is essential.

• Experts and leaders are your go-to for insider insight and valuable contributions. These experts may also provide you a valuable backlink and promotion in return.
• Research is essential. Instead of just browsing the internet, find historical books on the subject, new theories, and more. The more original research you do, the more value your article will have.
• Lead up to the piece. Create a social media campaign that talks about what you are working on, gather feedback, create an email waiting list.
• Create images and video ahead of and during the creation of the content.
