Many of us can get caught up in the minutia of punctuation, Chicago Manual of Style, or exactly matching Pantone colors in artwork. And that isn’t necessarily a bad thing — our audiences are often filled with [grammar police](https://www.jonespr.net/inboundaccelerator/the-grammar-police-are-after-your-website) looking for reasons to doubt us. But there is much more to creating valuable content than making sure apostrophes are used appropriately and video transitions are perfectly smooth. Encourage your staff to take a step back before they begin creating to consider these four big-picture qualities of valuable content: ![Transform Your Marketing Content from Correct to Compelling](https://www.jonespr.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_Images/Graphic.Characteristics.Content-56.png?width=487&name=Graphic.Characteristics.Content-56.png "Transform Your Marketing Content from Correct to Compelling") No matter how technically correct their writing is, if they miss the purpose and fail to engage the audience storytelling, the content will not achieve the goals set by the company of generating inbound marketing leads.

Tells a story** (Q&A blog posts like this [one](https://www.jonespr.net/inboundaccelerator/qa-how-integrated-content-marketing-strategy-earned-primaris-leads-awards) are a great way to introduce a character, a problem and a solution - the key elements of storytelling.) **3. Is shareable** (Make it [easy](https://www.jonespr.net/inboundaccelerator/give-your-landing-pages-an-easy-button-for-social-sharing) for your readers to share with others.) **4. Is findable** (Implement [keywords](https://www.jonespr.net/inboundaccelerator/4-places-to-use-long-tail-keywords) to help your audience find the great content you are creating. Are you looking for a way to provide feedback to your staff or freelancers about their content?
