Eloquens Categories: Publishing Strategies

When publishing a best practice on Eloquens, while we strongly encourage authors to start publishing what they already have at hand, we’re committed to give insights into our categories to foster new innovative content creation strategies.

Self-Focusing Strategies

By adopting a ‘self-focusing’ strategy, you play to your strengths.

Best Practices should be made and published on Eloquens in categories that you are already familiar with, and have expertise in.

This will not only increase the quality of your Best Practices, but will help to build your reputation as a reputable author on the site.

Category Focused Strategies

The Eloquens Team conducted an analysis in Q4 2018 on current categories outlining various different strategies you can undertake in terms of choosing what to build next.

Each strategy comes with different category profiles alongside their pros & cons.

The Place To Be

The ‘place to be’ categories are amongst some of the most popular categories that Eloquens has to offer. These categories are not just popular on Eloquens.com, but also rank highly on the first page of search engines.

Strongholds 💪

The ‘Strongholds’ on Eloquens include our highest performing Best Practices and categories. This type of know-how is the cornerstone of Eloquens.com and receives great exposure for authors.

Pros

  • Great exposure for your Best Practices and author profile
  • Guaranteed demand for the type of Best Practices that you publish
  • Wealth of Best Practices to use as a reference point for your own work

Cons

  • High-quality Best Practices with which to compete
  • More crowded market

Surf the Wave

Surf the wave of growing categories and the opportunities that they bring. On Eloquens.com, there are a number of areas expanding quickly in terms of both size and popularity. Authors can take advantage by publishing their work in the ‘opportunity’ and ‘growing’ categories that we have identified.

Opportunity 👀

The ‘Opportunity’ section showcases the categories that currently have few Best Practices, yet are highly demanded by users.

Although not as established as the ‘place to be’ categories, these categories are strong in terms of popularity.

Pros

  • Demand for Best Practices in these categories
  • Less competition than ‘Place to be’ categories
  • Greater opportunity to become a ‘Top Category Author’

Cons

  • Less Best Practices for reference when uploading your own Best Practices
  • Less popular than the ‘Place to be’ categories

Growing 📈

The ‘Growing’ section on Eloquens.com represents our up-and-coming categories.

These are categories that, although not yet the most popular areas on the site, are continuously growing in terms of size and popularity.

Pros

  • Ride the wave of the category’s growth to also expand your author channel
  • Ensure that your Best Practices is part of a increasingly prosperous subject area
  • Capitalize on the opportunity to expand your range of Best Practices

Cons

  • These categories are not, as of yet, the most highly demanded on the site
  • More work is needed in order to promote your Best Practices

Be the Pioneer

Being the pioneer is about creating your own success in untapped areas. By publishing in categories that are less prominent on the Eloquens website, such as ‘niche’ categories, ‘new’ categories, or ‘hidden gems’, you can become a leading author on our marketplace.

Niche ☝️

The ‘Niche’ section is a collection of categories that focus on precise topics.

Although narrow in scope, they do have a market worth exploiting on Eloquens.com

Pros

  • High demand, due to low quantity of Best Practices in the category
  • Opportunity to showcase your specializations
  • Help strengthen and bring exposure to niche subjects

Cons

  • Narrower user-base
  • Less demand globally

New Categories

These are newly created categories that help to expand the collection of know-how on the site and will gain in strength on Eloquens.com in 2019.

Pros

  • Great opportunity to become a pioneer in a new Eloquens category
  • Less competition in the category
  • Help to expand the existing know-how available on the site

Cons

  • Less exposure than publishing a Best Practice in a more established category
  • Self-promotion required in order to bring increased exposure to both your Best Practice, and the category

Hidden Gems 🔎💎

The ‘Hidden Gems’ section of this Eloquens.com strategy analysis showcases the categories that are very popular in search engines, however are still relatively unexplored on our marketplace compared to other categories.

Pros

  • Huge potential to succeed, with a large market ready to exploit.
  • Opportunity to become a leader in these categories, due to reduced competition on Eloquens.com.
  • Diversify the range of Best Practices you offer, increasing the strength of your author profile.

Cons

  • Reduced demand on Eloquens.com, therefore self-promotion is needed to increase chances of exposure.
  • High competition with other websites, therefore high-quality Best Practices are essential.
