How many times have you left a blog because

?

Or maybe because it wasn’t optimized for mobile devices?

Surprise!
Crappy content marketing design takes users to a dead end.

And it doesn’t convert customers.
![Page 9: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Good design is about taking users through an engaging
and persuasive journey.
![Page 11: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
These are the 7 rules that your content marketing
design can’t ignore:
![Page 12: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Provide a clear user path 1
![Page 13: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Can visitors easily find what they're looking for? Or is your content buried
deep in Navigation Jungle?
![Page 14: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Keep the behavior of the user always in mind.
For example, when someone lands on a blog post, they
should know what to do next.
![Page 15: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Keep design consistency 2
![Page 16: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Just like your messaging, content marketing design
has to have a consistent flow.
![Page 17: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Example: The look & feel of a CTA should complement
the landing page that it leads to.
![Page 18: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Content CTA
Landing page
![Page 19: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Show more, tell less 3
![Page 20: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Images and videos can help you tell your story
with less clicks and less reading.
![Page 21: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Instead of writing long descriptions or explanations,
incorporate visuals and interactive content.

Optimize for different devices 4
![Page 24: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The average user will not wait more than 6 seconds
to see if your content is optimized for mobile.
![Page 25: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Technologies like responsive design can help you ensure
that your content works on any screen size.
![Page 26: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Enable virality 5
![Page 27: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Social networking sites account for the most referral traffic to almost all websites, just behind organic search.
![Page 28: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Add sharing buttons for the social networks
that your target audience uses the most.
![Page 29: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
You can also simplify sharing steps by including embed codes right below videos,
infographics, and other visuals

Make call-to-actions pop 6
![Page 31: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
CTAs have to stand out from the rest of the page
so that it’s easy for prospects to know where to click once they
decide to take the next step.
![Page 32: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
From choosing the right size (bigger isn’t always better), to using colors that pop, and
leaving enough spacing around buttons, different versions of CTAs
should be continually tested.

Offer the right prize 7
![Page 34: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
One of the biggest factors in capturing your lead
is balancing the value of what you’re giving away vs. the
perceived barrier to getting it.
![Page 35: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
This is when features like progressive profiling can come in handy. Instead of making people fill out a long list of
fields, just add two or three.
![Page 36: 7 Rules of Content Marketing Design That Convert Customers](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042520/58f9a7fe760da3da068b5f92/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
When the user comes back for a different content piece,
new fields will replace the previous ones.

By optimizing design, you reduce confusion and guide
visitors from videos to blog posts, eBooks, landing pages, and CTAs.
