Why does Gen Z like faster and shorter content? [Revised]

Why can’t people read comic books but can read memes the whole day?

Why can’t people read study books but can study on YouTube?

During the recent lockdown due to COVID-19 (It seems like 91!), I had started reading books to calm down my mind. And I had started with books of Yuval Noah Harari, The god of evolution writing! And one day, my grandfather came over and said how surprised he was after seeing some 20-year-old reading a 500 pages book. And I asked him, “yes, it is surprising that I am reading a book, but why 20 years old?” And that was my worst time to ask that question because it was evening. And he started to explain to me why he was so amused.

I will write his exact words. “See, Harshil, there were no mobile phones, laptops, and tablets in our time. We were too curious because we won’t get answers with a single click. We have to read the whole dictionary to know a single word where we have to go by the first letter is S and then search through all words that start with s in the world. We were happy when the second letter was A. Like you were happy when you didn’t have to click S in the old Nokia 3010 (where you have to click four times just to write one S). And time by time technology evolved and humans got faster, homo sapiens became gen Z.”

So, I didn’t understand much, but then I researched how people are distracting and people like short content. And here I find out why people are becoming less focused.

Let me explain to you with the example of teaching Alphas.

Alpha (0-9) and Gen Z (10-24) came into a world where algorithms keep them constantly clicking, scrolling, and swiping. Today’s kids are dealing with a challenge that is not the one listed on the board. They are so used to continual stimulation from smartphone applications and streaming services that they cannot focus in class.

In recent years, academics worldwide have expressed worry about the influence of cell phones and media multitasking on focus. Technology, social media, instant internet access, and smartphones interfere with our capacity to focus. We are radically altering the way we think and the development of our brains.

To begin with, the average teenager has a span of attention of roughly 28-30 seconds. While cell phones have impacted pupils’ growing brains, instruction on dealing with the problem is missing. Reading complex or long content without regular pauses appears particularly demanding for Generation Z.

In the past, pupils appeared to be accustomed to devoting more time to a text. You can sense their absence of stamina in the way they take pauses, chat to each other instead of working, and even give up on lengthier reading projects. Means Let me tell you, you can compare your 8th standard social studies book and compare it with today’s 8th std SS textbook. Nowadays, even curricula have to make chapters shorter so students won’t be freaked out and learn quickly. If we start from the beginning, our ancestors used to wander the whole day to find necessities like food and a place to live. And still, they were living.

Today if you put in 10 yr. Old in a room without electrical devices, they will be mad by afternoon. Of course, curiosity plays a vital role in this. But Ancestors also got bored in their time and invented new and better instruments to live. Then they carried out languages and writing. That’s where Our concentration begins to develop like no other living one.

But after time went by, we had carried out a shorter version of everything to do all things in one life. And that is not wrong in any place.

We are making everything smaller and shorter to know everything, from books to articles, movies to reels, walking to vehicles, and talking to text.

And by keeping the story brief, we make ourselves irritable and quick. There is a widespread belief that young people are lazy, apathetic, and side-tracked. We undervalue the utilization of technology right now and the control it affords over how we learn.

For example, students eager for professors to respond to their queries are increasingly inclined to seek solutions for themselves. They may be in algebra and go to YouTube to answer a problem before approaching a teacher or reading a textbook. We are habituating to Alexa; she has become our mother for our non-home issues.

Humans don’t want to slow down their life. Today’s life is a hybrid mixture of complex and simple life. We have to do one work/job, and other things can be bought by salary/income, which was technically not provided for our ancestors. But on the other side, we have a cognitive society where we have to maintain speed with community, technology, and aliens on the other side!

Just kidding, but we have to understand, we have to slow down a bit and know what we want to do and what not to!

Now we have Google, and now we have to learn what to search for and what not to. Information becomes universal; success is no longer about knowing the most. Instead, it’s the ability to think critically and creatively, ironically the very skills that digital media undermines by lowering attention spans. Suppose you think of the founders of Microsoft and Facebook, which became pioneers in the tech world. It wasn’t because they could code better; they could think differently.

Is the technology that bad?

Technology probably helped us somewhere with long content like kindle- E-books, Web series, and Anime like services that can indulge any average human for hours and days. If we can use technology with awareness of what we are doing, technology can help like an angel.

As my grandpa said, why are you reading books on these shitty mobiles? Read hard copies, feel those pages, smell them and then understand the essence of the story. But we also want everything free and flexible. And that is the choice of one. People read a lot on online websites and apps like kindle. And some people also hate it and read like Nnedi Okarafor.

“I love the sound of the pages flipping against my fingers. Print against fingerprints. Books make people quiet, yet they are so loud.”

― Nnedi Okorafor

 

I understand my writing specialty as a writer. Writing content and presenting it to everyone is a regularly engaged process. Being a content writer teaches me that readers may prefer reading short, concise content.

They do not like reading lengthy content. Even on Medium, pieces that are just the right length are often well-received. Is it true that consumers don’t seek in-depth content?

The fundamental reason can be that People Want to Save Time by doing everything present on every app and site. Whatever approach you take as a writer, never let go of the creativity that makes your work unique.

Could this be the end of the long-form article?

Barely.

On the contrary, written content has risen in length and quality. A 1,000-word piece could have been termed “long-form” a few years ago. Now, extensively shared blog entries routinely exceed 3,000 or even 10,000 words.

But does it work? Will people bother to read thousands of words?

The quick answer is yes, based on the contexts.

And about a long answer, When it refers to text, massive content often outperforms short information, as long as it’s broken down into bite-sized and interspersed with visuals. It is because search engines prefer lengthier content. It’s simple: Google believes that people who know more will tell more.

Many readers feel similarly. Contrary to popular belief, the longer the article is more willing individuals are to share it with friends and colleagues. Those who spend more time consuming extended content are more inclined to spend in your firm. That doesn’t imply that lengthier has always been preferable, but it suggests you shouldn’t be afraid to delve into detail occasionally.

Forget long vs. short. What do people read?

So, in conclusion,

The holy grail for content that performs highly and receives social shares appears to be 7 minutes, translating to roughly 2000 words. But measuring content by search results, Facebook engagements, and retweets is one thing. It’s another thing entirely to suggest what length is appropriate for readers.

And in general, also, short content is being popularized in new cultures. But it also gets creative with trends like minimalism. It rather than the choice of one, they wanted to read a comic book or cartoon, kindle or hard copy, long articles or inshorts, play a test match or a T20, run marathon or sprints, listen to old 8-minute songs or 2 min raps, listen to an extended podcast or listen to headlines in radio, wanted to see web series or just reviews.

If you come to the end of this article, thank you for reading this, I would love to know your views on this question.

If you like my way of thinking, please share it.

The Revolutionary Transition in the Content Writing Services [Optimized]

Our minds want a break from the monotony of seclusion and confinement. If prior pandemics are any indicator, we have entered a period of thriving creativity. The revolution transition in the content industry is reshaping our progress. Words are much more powerful than we can ever imagine. Putting it together and choosing the most appropriate words are the essence of writing. The content writing services are nothing but a way of creating information for the readers and making a brand establish its digital personality.

The content writing services are turning the table. For any writer, it’s not just about weaving the words and forming sentences. Rather, they put their heart and soul into it. When we provide any information to the audience, we never compromise on the quality of the content. It is a proven truth that the content should abide by the tone of the readers. When I started my agency under the name of Write Right, I had no idea how smooth things would run for me. However, in the last 6-7 years, I have realized that as the technologies evolve, communication modes change, and so is the way of conveying content.

It can never be a bed of roses for any writer. It comes with thorns and thus a roller coaster ride. What matters here is how you enjoy the transition. I aimed to fly and expand across the globe when I stepped forward. I am happy I could do it. I took a baby step with Write right, and now I have siblings to it, i.e., Taletel, Bloggism, Estorytellers, and Kalam Kagaz. While the writers dominate the content, content dominates the market. When we talk about content marketing, we realize how the industry has taken a turn and bent the market on its feet.

When we take a closer look, we find that the way print media works is very different. It consisted of journals, newspapers, and even magazines but is now supplanted by the Internet, websites, and blogs. The proliferation of the digital world has transformed how content is produced and developed. We are surviving in a world that flies like a bat out of hell, and we must cope with it. When the world is transforming and taking a digital turn, it is reasonably required for the content creators to keep pace and generate content that captures the audience’s attention.

In the contemporary era, where content writing services are subjected to a revolutionary transition, it has paved the way for modernizing marketing for businesses. Digital marketing came with all force (thanks to the novel coronavirus) and swapped out the era of offline marketing. With this transformation, I have taken content writing as a career to the forefront. When I entered this industry, I had no idea how well will I flourish here. But, I always knew that content writing had a bright future. While the transition was taking place, we, as a team, worked hard to keep up with the revolution. Unfortunately, talented content writers are rare as hen’s teeth.

In my opinion, one of the most important aspects here will be the audience’s interest. Their preferences change time and again. Therefore, it’s essential to provide content that viewers are looking for. If we take a closer look, the content style has undoubtedly developed and evolved through time, but yes, there’s this one thing that we can’t miss – the content quality is paramount and should be considered a priority. To my understanding, you don’t need to don a mortarboard to become a content writer. If you have a flair for writing and can be quirky enough to keep your audience hooked to the content, I guess you are through.

The digital era has taken over all businesses and is hungry for tech-savvy writers. The revolution that has taken place is for good. It has made it necessary for all the websites to provide additional information for the targeted audience. There are a plethora of options available, but when you know what you want, those options mean nothing to you. The transition in the on-demand content industry has opened various doors for both the service providers and service seekers. Being a writer myself, I welcome this revolutionary transition with open arms. And I am all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

Yes, it’s about time you put your ideas into action and revved yourself to accomplish your dream of becoming an excellent content marketer.

In today’s world, where content rules every platform, the demand for content providers is rising exponentially. People and companies are out trying to hire experienced content writers and marketers to help them drive their websites to the top-ranking pages of the search engines. But it isn’t only the SERP’s visibility and ranking that they are after.

Today, entrepreneurs and business people worldwide are currently focusing heavily on the consumers and ways to attract them. Customers comprise the most crucial part of any industry, whether entertainment, technology, gaming, health, etc. They drive the creators to experiment with new ideas and introduce innovative products and services to draw in the audience and keep them hooked to their brand in the long run.

But how do content marketers fit in this cycle of creating and consuming?

Well, that’s simple. Content marketers are the channel or network for delivering the services from the source to the receiver. Without the aid of these people, it is pretty challenging for the entrepreneurs and manufacturers to reach out to their target audience, understand their needs, and deliver satisfactory products to maintain the rate of engagement and subscription. Often, these organizations and companies prefer to hire content writers and marketers to help them improve their website’s visibility, boost traffic rates, and generate better ROI.

You must understand that not every content marketer is a fantastic content creator. And the vice versa isn’t always true as well. So, here you need to know the difference between a content marketer and a content writer and how you can identify a good one for your company. And that comes down to the skills and abilities of a content marketer.

For example, the leading role of a content marketer is to develop a content strategy for a company or brand. And then comes the responsibility of putting all the steps together to ensure its smooth execution. The plan includes various stages and actions like marketing research, content writing and editing, graphic design, SEO optimization, and content distribution. On the other hand, a content writer provides various forms of content, be it white papers, SEO-based blogs, articles, SOP, resumes, etc., to their clients as per their requirements.

Many content marketers often take help from content and copywriters to create more people-oriented and short blogs on various social media platforms to speed up their plan’s implementation. It helps the company get high-quality and engaging content that its audience will relate to and come to enjoy.

But ultimately, it all boils down to the abilities and creativity of the content marketer to help this plan succeed. And it is only possible if you, as a content marketer, possess the necessary aptitudes to perform and deliver exemplary service in the industry. So, lets us look at the 5-must have skills that every expert content marketer should harbor. It will help you know what you should look for in a person you hire; or how you can become a terrific content marketer in the competitive field outside.

01. SEO Basics

No matter how good of a writer you are. If you do not know the SEO basics, things will be very rocky for you in e-commerce and content marketing. As an expert content marketer, you should know about SEO practices apart from clear content strategy and project ideas. It helps you build brand trust and awareness through organic searches over time, boost sales, and deliver immediate results.

But it doesn’t mean that you need to know every minute detail of working of technical bits of SEO or how you can implement them on your web page. As a content marketer, you don’t need to dig this deeper. But you should have a proper understanding and knowledge of Google’s algorithm and how the organic searches work for different browsers. It allows you to build an effective strategy to optimize content and make it more user-friendly at the same time.

You can rely on several SEO tools to help make your content visible and more reachable to the target audience. We also have plenty of content marketing tools available in the market that you can implement to boost your SEO ranking and get the best of it for your services.

02. Content strategy and project management

We know content-making is not easy because you have to create and deliver something that you have envisioned purely in your mind. And that’s why a content marketer needs a strategy to help them put together their idea and give it a clear and coherent shape.

And after the strategy creation, we come to the step of project management. It is another crucial skill that every expert content marketer must possess. You can aid many content-first organizations in repurposing content from case studies, FAQs, testimonials, and blogs for their email marketing, promotions through ads, etc. if you know how to drive the content creation process.

It allows your content to get good SEO measurements and thus deliver high-quality and expert material in every stage of your content marketing plan. And you can also provide a detailed report about when your content will get ready and how much more time you may need to perfect it. Elements like these establish you as a powerful, insightful, and reliable content marketer and someone who can handle the complete funnel when the time desires.

Here are some ways in which you can hone your content strategy and project management skills:

  • By beginning with research and getting a clear idea of your project’s purpose until its completion
  • Putting a long-term strategy with many side plans and branching themes for its successful execution.
  • Detail a waterfall method (breaking your project into linearly successive phases where you must complete each step before moving on to the next.)
  • Prepare a questionnaire for your project and look for possible answers to solve the inconsistencies that may become a setback for the content in the future.
  • And finally, you can present the plan to the respective executives and founders for approval.

03. Editing

Editing skills are similar to playing sports; you can learn their rules and basics quickly, but it goes a long way to master them.

Now the challenging part of editing isn’t the time-consuming process or the pile of errors and content inconsistency you may have to fix but the varying styles of every writer and content creator.

To put it simply, every writer has their unique way and tone of creating content. And they carry out the editing based on it. So, if you come face to face with a piece of work already edited by a third party, there are high chances that you may end up redoing the entire thing to make it fit according to your utility, writing style, and inner voice.

And that’s what you need to work on if you wish to become an expert content marketer. You will have to discipline yourself like water and fit into your client’s language style and unique voice whenever you get any content to edit and reformat.

Remember that companies don’t look for sophistication and wordplay when relying on your content marketing service. They want your work to match their brand while having the element of uniqueness. So, you must practice your editing skills and learn to adapt to anyone’s style and tone like a chameleon while working as a content marketer.

04. Creativity and Storytelling

The art of storytelling makes your brand more memorable. It is a fact that people find messages, themes, and announcements told via storytelling more engaging, compelling, and easy to remember at the end of the day.

Let us take an example to understand it. We find it difficult to remember the names of people we meet for the first time. Whether it is 4-persons or 2, it gets messy in the initial attempt. But if you hear the same names as the lyrics of a song, you will have no difficulty recalling it.

And why is that? It’s because the tune and overall storytelling of the music make your mind feel connected to and intrigued by it. And as a result, you can easily remember most of the words from the song, unlike a conversation.

And as an expert content marketer, you should also know how to implement creativity and storytelling in your work to make it more user-friendly for consumption. It helps you target the customers and convince them to invest in the company or brand without being compulsive and forceful.

The best way to do it is by bringing the hero’s story and taking the customers on a quest where the hero (them) goes on a journey to defeat the villain (their problems, goals, or needs). On the way, they get help from a comrade who becomes their friend (the company/brand), and together they achieve victory. Not only will it be a unique way to catch their attention and keep them engaged, but it will also convince them to stick with your products and services for a long time.

05. Marketing and Collaboration

Just because the content marketer has the term market in it doesn’t guarantee that every one of them is well-versed in this field. You will be surprised to find that many experienced content marketers struggle with delivering a satisfying and top-notch content service despite their abilities. And it is because they fail to understand the basics of marketing strategies and how collaboration plays a vital role here.

A lack of collaboration and marketing skills pushes you back in your performance and becomes the reason for failures in the workspace. And that’s why to become an expert content marketer; you should focus on cultivating your marketing and collaboration skills. Together they help you understand the current trends in the industry and the cultural background of your current organization of work.

By taking the initiative to learn more, you get more accustomed to the arrangements around you and how you can use them to provide the best result. You can build a productive working arrangement and get feedback from different people to get a hold of what the audience wants at the moment. And you can then implement these facts to understand and find ways to deliver these services in the easiest way possible.

Concluding thoughts

So, these are the 5-must have skills that any pro content marketer should have. Now, whether you are planning to hire or march on the path to becoming one, you know what abilities and knacks you need to find and develop in the field of content marketers.

Also, don’t forget to keep exploring and practicing because success will eventually be in your palms one of these days if you continue to strive towards excellence. All the best!

The Discussion Room

I saw this wonderful girl when I was attending one blogging conference held in my city. I was not obviously expecting any diva to show down in the ‘Literature’ type event but my wait proved write when she entered the room and I said, “Oh my god, my conference is ruined. How will I be able to concentrate now?”

It justified. Correctly. I had to do something, something macho. Look, what I did? By some crooked means, the way I will show it my another blog :D, I found her email ID and sent the following.

“Hope this email finds you well. You must be in the grey of your health.
Duh, so formal. Yea, leave it. 😀

Scene 1- You enter supposedly. Had I known I would craft an email for it later after struggling on FB, Insta and probably Snapchat, I would definitely have observed you better. Wooooo. Wait. What sort of permutation and combination had I applied? I mustn’t tell you.

Scene 2- This was the adrenaline rush. So, today is the right time. Maybe, tomorrow the gist and zeal might have faded, well, sort of, because of my impotency to pursue it personally. 😀

Scene 3- Why would you come to the play today? You weren’t there yesterday, for God Sake? If there was a test to ‘being noticed’ by someone with the most intellectually dumb patterns, I would be the winner and runners-up. Forgive my oxymorons.

Black OUT-
Do you live in Ahmadabad? It’s the only thing I probably don’t know about you.

Duh, so informal.
Anyways, I am going to be judged. Seriously, call it a one-day desperation or a new form of it maybe 20–20, I just wanted to talk to you but couldn’t.

See you, A*****i. Needless to say, sweet name you have.
PS- Sonder= The realization that each random passerby is living a life
as vivid and complex as your own.”

The girl did get flattered; she denied me to go out with me.
