Write a guide that covers an entire topic and is the most comprehensive resource on that topic. You can break down your guide into chapters and include videos, images, and interactive elements. Make your guide long-form (aka write at least 2,000 words) for it to truly be an ultimate guide.
Ultimately, these guides can build your brand and authority fast because you show that you’re an expert on the topic.
Example title: “The Ultimate Guide to ___”
2. Feature a customer success story
