5 Lessons Cats Teach Us about Creating Blissfully Mindless Content

When creating content, it is easy to get focused on educational content that teaches the readers something important.

However, as writer Marie Rotter points out in her article on the blog Boost Blog Traffic, many Internet users simply want to enjoy some mindless content. That’s what creates the appeal for cat videos.

Here are some lessons that cat videos can teach us about generating a good balance of content for our blogs – content that people will actually enjoy reading.

Make It Universally Appealing

To appeal to a wider audience, don't limit yourself. Choose content that most people will appreciate, and try not to alienate any readers.

Focus on the Readers, Not the Writer

A common mistake for content marketers is to write about themselves. While it can be great to relate to readers, focus on what is interesting to them. Write content that they can appreciate, not something that you can be pleased with.
