Content may refer to any of the following:

1. Contents is a shortened way to say table of contents.

Content is king

2. Content describes the text within an e-mail, web page, or another file. Although this often refers to text, content can refer to pictures, videos, or anything else on the viewable page or file. When creating a website, quality content is one of the most important elements in attracting visitors and search engines to your web page. Keeping the content frequently updated, ensuring it is well-written, and verifying it is unique helps Internet users find your page.

What is content creation?

Content creation describe the process of creating any content (e.g., art, audio, text, or video) and sharing that content with an audience. In addition to the initial creation of the content, the content creator must also edit, maintain, update, and promote the content.

What is short-form content and long-form content?

When describing the type of content, the terms short-form content and long-form content may be used. Short-form content describes any content that's quickly consumed. For example, a Twitter post, a blog post of less than 1,000 words, and a TikTok video are all examples of short-form content. Long-form content is content that takes several minutes or more to consume. For example, an e-book, 30-minute YouTube video, whitepaper, or web page with 1,000 or more words are all examples of long-form content.

What type of content should I create?

Generally, with the decrease in most people's attention span and how many now consume content (e.g., on their smartphone), most people prefer short-form content.

If your content covers a more complex topic that cannot be made into short-form content, consider breaking it into small segments. For example, instead of having only one long-form web page describing computers, we've divided the subject into individual pages. In other words, we have a computer, CPU (central processing unit), hard drive, RAM (random-access memory), motherboard, power supply, and video card page. Although many of these pages are more than 1,000 words, breaking them up helps our visitors find information faster than having only one page with over 10,000 words.
